GOSPEL OF GOLDEN
is HURTFUL"
Chamberlain Says That Free Imports
with Protected Labor Cannot Be
Longer Tolerated - The
Mother Country and
the Colonies.

London, October 3.-"Every other ma
| ton and all our own self governing colo
niles have refused to accept the gospel Of
| Golden, and yet although they ought, ac-
cordng to its dogmas, to be in the last
stage of depression and decline, they have
| grown during the last twenty years In
wealth, population and trade and In
everything that goes to make up the
| greatness of nation
| That is the keynote of Joseph Cham
| berlain's manifesto which will be pub
lished October in the form of a preface
to. shilling pamphet-"Mr. Cham
| berlain's Proposals; What They Mean
and What We Shall Gain by Them by
| G. A. Vincent, secretary to Mr.. Cham
berlain's tariff organization. In view of
the manner with which the war office
| pamphleteers have again come into vogue
in English politics the publisher has APP
| proprately given Mr.. Chamberlain
pronouncement deep red covers in sig
niicant contrast with the undecided blue
gray. of Premier Balfours academic
treatise on the fiscal question.
Strong Words Used.
| Mr. Chamberlain does not mince mat
| tiers. With characteristic aggression he
| carries the war into the enemy camp.
Chose who maintain he writes, I'm
a spirit Of blind obscurintism the absolute
nspira ton of an antiquated doctrine will
have much to explain"
His remarks are addressed to men of
all political opinions, since the questions
now raised are not necessarily matters of
party politics. nor indeed, is 1t likely
that the issues will be decided on strict
~ party lines.
He begins by saying:
1T is difficult to believe that the re-
suits of the investigation will not con-
vince every impartial man OF the neceSsl-
ty for reconstruction OF the system whica
has remained stationary aud unatered
for more than half q century while every
other policy has been modified and adapt
ed to meet modern requirements.
Continuing. Mr.. Chamberlain points out
that the property of the working classes
has increased in greater proportion in the
protected countries than in the United
Kingdom, and says:
Free trade if it had ever existed,
might have secured for us all that Its
promoters promised; but free imports
without free trade have brought us face
to face with problems which never en-
tered into Cobden's calculation. We know
