cessfully defeated an attempt to upset the
government upon the fiscal question. An
Interesting debate, characterized by some
heated exchanges, took. place resulting In
the Preniers reiterated determination to
shelve the question of fiscal reform until
the next parliament, III this discussion
Joseph Chamberlain publicly concurred.
The motion upon which the question

Ing tho ministerial declarations that
protective taxation OF food would be
burdensome to the people and Injurious
to the empire
IN purpose the motion was intended to-
censure Mr.. Chamberlain, and the latters
amendment to 1t would have split up the
Unionist party and possibly would have
resulted In the defeat OF the government.
Mr.. Balfours own amendnentsto shelve
the question loft middle course open to
the members Of the Unionist party, and
although this amendment was not put,
the house accomplished the defeat OF
Mr. Blacks indirect censure on the
ground that it was now necessary to dis
ctlss the fiscal question
Tho premier stuck to his policy as out
lined In his recent sheffield speech.
Twenty-one Unlonist Freetraders voted
against the government, but more than
double that number would have done,
SO, hut for Mr.. Balfour's skillfu inter-
vcntion between Mr. Chamberlain. and
his opponents.
The net results OF the debate which
crowded the House of Commons to a
greater extent thanit has been this SEES
sion Is that all parties stand as they
we're.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach and his I'm
mediate following practically saved the
day by refusing to vote with Winston
Churchill, Lord George Hamilton, Lord
Hugh Cecil and other more ardent
Unionst Freetraders against Mr.. Bal
four. Mr.. Chamberlain reiterated that he
did not wish to raise the fiscal question
In the house. He said he supported the
government and would continue to do so.
lie hoped that the premier would take
his own time to carry out his policy.
The vote defeating Mr.. Blacks amend
ment was 251 to 3o6.

Mr.. James r. MOOrehead has just
returned from a trip to South Flor
ida, where he has been doing some
surveying for Mr. w B. Blount, of
this city, who has 2,3OO acres of fine
land near the growing city of Sara
sofa which he is preparing to have
drained.
During his trip Mr.. Moorehead
visited the fine body of prairie lands
of Colonel Camps, which Mr.. Moore
head says readily rent for $50 per
acre and from which the renters re-
ceive very handsome returns on their
investments.
Besides renting these drained lands
for the price above named Colonel
Camp cultivated on his own account
a large number of acres the past sea-
son and the crops were so prolific he
gave up the task of trying to market
the whole output.
For many years past Colonel Par
IRISH, of the town of Parrish, has been
renting similar lands for S25 per acre
and the renters have never failed to
receive handsome profits on their in
vestments and some have retired with
Independent little fortunes.
