CHAMBERLAIN ON PROTECTION.
Says United States Under It Has
Reached UnequaIIed Prosperity.

London. Jan. 1j-Joseph Chamberlain
presided at the first meeting of the tariff
commission which assembled here this n f.
ternoOn, with a large attendance of men,
Ders.
Mr. Chamberlain made an eloquent
speech, drawing a parallel from what the
United States and Germany had accom-
pliShcd under protective tariffs and de-
MED that any tariff could be framed here
which, its opponents alleged, would
make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The United States under protection had
reached prosperity unequalled in The
world. In no other country in the world
was wealth so evenly distributed. while
there was no country in the world where
&ucii large proportion of the population
was on the verge of hunger and distress
as in Great Britain.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the object of the
commission was not to formulate tariff
laws, but to investigate and inquire with
open mind. All that had thus far been
decided was that the policy adopted SO
many years ago required reform
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Cha mberlains
speech the commission discussed Il gen
eral method of procedure.
On Mr. ChamberlainS motion. Mr.. Pear
son was unanimously elected vice chair
man.
A general purpose committee was then
appointed. 1t includes among its MEM
bers Charles Booth, Sir Vincent Caillard.
Frederick l.. Harris, NJ. p. Sir Alexander
Henderson. Sir Robert Herbert. Sir AlfI ed
Jones and Alfred Mosely, the last two
named being respectively chairman and
vice chairman of the committee.

OUTLOOK PROBLEMATIcAL.
Not Known Whether There'lI Be Cur
tailment in Cotton Output.

New York Jan. 15.-Special tele-
grams from correspondents of the In
ternational Mercantile Agency through
out the United States regarding the
state of trade are summarized as fol-
lows:
The event of the business week has
been the discovery of 4 greatly i'm
proved demand for pig iron and wire
nails and for some forms of steel nota-
bly, sheets. bars and scrap. Increased
demand for steel products has started
some of the largest plants and prices
for varieties mentioned are 81 higher
per ton. Wire nails have advanced still
further.
Ten or 5000 more Industrial en-
ployes have gone back to work within
a week, but in most instances at n low
er rate of wages. The drag in the steel
rail market results from unwillingness
of railroad companies to pay s. n ton
more than leading interests are offer
ing rails abroad.
In the New England states it is still
problenlatical how much the output of
cotton goods will be curtailed by the
high price of cotton.
Spring trade outlook in staple lines
IL Unexpectedly 1aNOraDie. Some BUS
ton merchants say they expect sales
to exceed those of n year ago. At Chi
cage orders compare favorably with
last year and at St Louis they exceed
those Of the like period in 1908. At both
Pittsburg and Philadelphia business
men report n good effect from steel. Or

and foundries have started up. Textile
stocks at Philadelphia are light and in
creased outputs are predicted.
