LOSING COLONIAL TRADE
Great Britain Falling OFF in CONNER
cial Prestige in Her
Possessions.

A report has been received here of a
lecture delivered in London by Mr.. w.
A. 5. Dewins, secretary of the tariff
commission, in which he claimed that.
taking the whole of the British possess
sions in groups, the same movement had
been observed in each ~instance-the per-
centage of British trade diminished in
comparison with the foreign trade of the
colonies. The d%iminution, he said, had
been greater in the case of Canada,
where the United States has taken the
place of Great Britain. The same move
ment had occurred in Australia, and
though the mother country still had a
firm hold of the colonies in Africa, the
same movement had begun there, also.
Our present SYSTEM" he said, was
practically based upon the assumption
that in return for our manufactures we
could get food at a cheaper rate" He
predicted that 20 years hence the United
States would require every bushel of
wheat that country could grow. 1t
might be said that Canada would take
the place of the United States, but the
effect of that on prices in England would
depend on how Canada took its place.
IF. in Canada he said, they had a
preference on corn, it would stimulate
agriculture; it would also stimulate a
demand for other products in Canada,
which could be supplied from the moth
err country"

PEOPLE WILL TALK

On the tendency to gossip, friend
of ours handed us a few days ago a
littl~ poem. While poetry is not es-
sentially part of an editorial page,
the language and the sentiment of
the one handed to us was so strik-
ingly apropos of conditions that after
reading it carefully, we thought that
it would be most helpful to some one
who may have suffered from the ton
que of slander or gossip. We have
therefore given it space on the editor
ial page and we feel that it will
serve a good purpose in uplifting
someone whose nature has been sour

Ii. the death of Robert E. Pattison.
Pennsylvania loses a fearless son. He
was terror to wrong doers, so long
as he held official position. When
comptroller of Philadelphia he saved
the CITY millions by his wise policy.
He ousted thieves from seemingly al
most impregnable positions. where
looting had been going on for years
He was timber from which good
president could have been made, as he
was in intelligence and native ability
the peer of any candidate who has as
pired to the presidency or who has been
the nominee of either party, in years.
But Pennsylvania is so surely Re-
publican at all times that the great
keystone state, with its wonderful in
terests and industries is seldom given
even passing thought. when it comes
to aspirants for the presidential garb.

ENGLISH TARIFF COMMISSION.
Reports Reasons for the Decline Of
British Industries.

LONDON, July 2O-The report of Joseph
Chamberlains tariff commission on the iron
and steel trades arrives at the conclusion
that the decline of the British iron and
steel industry is due to the fact that the
manufacturers of America and Germany
have secured control of the home markets
by means of high tariffs and an organized
system regulating their export trade, that
they are in position to dump their surplus
products on the British and other markets
irrespective of cost, and that the dumping
could not be carried on except for the Brit
ish system of free imports. The committee
expresses the opinion that the situation can
only be remedied by a system of tariffs ar
ranged as follows:
(a) A g al tariff consisting Of a low
scale of du les for foreign countries admit
ting British wares on fair terms
(b) A preferential tariff, lower than the
general tariff, for the colonies, giving ade-
and framed to secure freer trade within the
British empire.
(c) A maximum tariff consisting of COM
paratively higher duties. but subject to re-
duction by negotiation to the level of the
general tariff.
The report, which is signed by fffty-eight
commissioners, is very bulky and gives the
evidence of British manufacturers, the evil
dence given before the United States indus
trial commission on iron and steel indus
tries. the organization and working of Ger
man Kartells and vast amount of statis-
tics etc.

GEORGIA TO SEND A BRIGADE.
Will Be Well Represented in the

Senator Bacon of Georgia has made ar

mandIng the Atlantic division whereby the
state of Georgia will be represented by a
fun brigade of it's National Guard at the
maneuvers at Manassas, Va, in September
next. Under the original allotment of the
fund available among the various states
and territories Georgia could not send a
full brigade at the expense of the federal
government. The approved quota of that
state was about 900 men short of brigade
strength.
After consultation with Acting Secretary
Oliver and Maj Gen. Corbin it was ar
ranged that the state should send full
brigade of Its troops to Manassas on condi-
ton that the presence of the 600 men in eX-
cess of the states quota should entail no
expense to the United States beyond the
amount originally allotted 10 the state.

NEW YORK, July 20.--The body Of Mrs

when an officer and the woman's brother
went to her home early today they found
the door to her apartments locked with a
paddock on the outside.
The door was forced, and Mrs. Kramer's
body was found lying on a sofa. Marks on
her throat caused the police to start an in
vestigation the theory that the woman
had been murdered.
They at once began a search for William
Murphy, a street car conductor, who had
lived in the Kramer apartments since Mrs
Kramer and her husband separated, several
months ago.

WATCHING THE STRIKE

OYSTER BAY, L. l., July 20.-President

ments of the beef strike in Chicago, New
York and other cities. By his express di-
rection Secretary Metcalf of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, through
special agents of the department, is col
lecting all obtainable information regard
ing the strike for probable future use
The President manifests concern over the
strike, affecting appreciably one Of the
great food tratfics of the country, on
account of it's possible political bearing,
but because of the serious financial strain
1t Is putting on the beef consumers OF the
United States. He deeply regrets, too,
that such conflict between the interests OF
capital and labor should have been precipi-
tated-a conflict that certainly Will entail
serious loss to both sides.
Hopes for an Agreement.
II is known that the President regards
the situation as grave. He hopes that an
agreement between the packers and their
men may be reached through negotiations
now pending, but he is without definite IN
formation on that point. No occasion yet
has arisen in the strike, and probably none
will arise for either the President or any
department of the government to become
an active factor in the problem.
This has been one of the quletest week
