The third of the faculty courses OF lee

last night by DIR. W. s. Mcneil, OF the
great pleasure by quite a large company.
His subject was The Relation OF For
eign Trade to government or the tariff
Private producers" said he, seek for
eign markets. whence comes International
trade and its regulation by public
authority"
The speaker reviewed the history OF
tariff, dividing II into three periods.
First, the great state-buidIng epoch,
from which we're evolved the great ma
tional States, as England and France.
was from 1900 to 1915. In this time tile
foreign trade policy is called ''mercan-
tiIism.'' This meant that public authority
was put behind domestic industries in
the effort to outstrip foreign traders, the
means used being prohibition of imports
or exports. import or export tariffs and
navigation laws. The purpose WAS TO
hinder import and increase export.
This system resulted in commercial
wars and high tariff 1t was combatted
by Adam Smith, who formulated the
theory of free trade. -.
AT this time came the wars OF Liberia
ton against the abuse of mmoderate
governmental interference and the doc
trine of free trade was accepted with en-
Enthusiasm as a revelation.
Prussia. in 1918. made the ilrst great
stem toward free trade when 1t undertook
10 unity Germany. In 1882 England be-
gan to turn to free trade, and the sys-
tenn was almost completely cstaDllshed IN
tho Western world by 1860.

New York, Oct. II The assign
ment of J. M. Ceballos & Co., bankers
and merchants, with liabilities be
tween SO, ,00O, 600 and $4,000, 900. has
Just been announced. The statement
declared that the failure was due to
the defalcation and absconding Of
Manuel Silveira of Silveira & Co.,,
Havana agents Of the New York COM
pany. 1Silveira's defalcation is alleged
to amount to about $1,000, 600. He
sailed from Havana Oct. 2 ostensibly
to consult here with the members of
J. M. Ceballos & Co., but has not
reached this city. Counsel for the
assignee said that Silveira has left on
his own steamer, the Carmelina, for
parts unkonwn, accompanied by his
wife and children and that every effort
was being made to locate him:
The members of the firm of J. M.
Ceballos & Co. are J. M. Ceballos,
John S. Fisk and Anderson c. Wilson
The assignee is William V. Rowe, a
lawyer. Mr.. Rowe said that the as
sets of the firm are of a substantial
character, but from hasty. examina-
tion it is manifest that they will re-
quire careful; $ outstanding. Account
ants are now at work on the books of
the company. 1t was stated unofficial
ly that there is ground to hope that
the assets will be sufficient to cover
the losses and that the firm may be
enabled to resume.
Established Fifty Years Ago.
J. M. Ceballos & Co. was established
about fifty years ago and has large in
terests in Cuba, chiefly in the develop
ment of railroads and sugar planta-
tions. 1t operates a line of steamers
between New York and Spanish ports
and has connections in Spain, Euro
pean centers and Spanish-American
cities.
The failure is considered certain to
have damaging effect upon business
in Cuba. Among other things it means
the abandonment of a comprehensive
Cuban railroad scheme, which contem-
plated the construction of an entire
new railroad system: reaching all the
Ceballos properties and covering all
that large part Of the island now with
Inadequate transportation facilities.
Manuel Silveira's firm has had an
excellent standing in Cuba. The firm
is one of merchant bankers the bus
mess consisting of handling merchan-
disc of various sorts instead of secur-
tiles, like American banking houses.
The firm is the largest importer of
cattle into Cuba, bringing in cattle
from Venezuela, Texas and Colombia,

will withdraw from the island of Cuba
and surrender the reins of government
to the Cubans, but this action cannot
be taken until the time arrives when

the American commissioners dealt In
Inducing the rebels to cease hostili.

with the position taken by the pro-

Headed by Alfredo Zayas, the com
mittee visited Governor Taft for the
avowed purpose Of requesting him to
declare the policy of the United States
toward Cuba and the policy of the pro-
visional government concerning ap-
pointments to public Offices. The
Americans listened carefully to all the
representations of the committee and
then Governor Taft replied pointedly
that he could not outline the policy of
the United States more clearly than
was done In his proclamation estab-
fishing provisional government for
the island. He added that as the rep
resentative of the United States he
was just as anxious to surrender gov
ernmental affairs to the Cubans as the
Cubans were to regain them, but the
peace commissioners were under the
responsibility to build up conditions
