DUKE OF DEV0NSHIRE
ISSUES MANIFESTO
URGES FREE TRADE UNIoNlSTS
TO SUPPORT LIBERALS
BY Treating Home Rule Question as a
Mere Side Issue He Deals the
Strongest Blow Yet to BaIfours
Election Tactics
BY Associ ted Press.

by ASsoct Tea Press.
LONDON, Dec. 31.-The duke of De-
vonshire. liberal unionist. has issued an
important election manifesto in which
he virtually advises the free trade
unionists to support the liberal can
didates rather than the protectionist
unionists. By treating the home rule
question as a mere side issue, he deals
the strongest blow yet delivered
against Mr.. Balfours election tactics.
The duke asserts that there is no
indicat ton that the opinion of the coun-
try has changed since the rejection
of the last home rule bill, and that it
is in the highest degree improbable
that the government of Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman will incur the
risk of introducing another such meas
ure in the next parliament. Therefore,
he says, the question of free trade ver-
sus protection must be the paramount
feature in the coming elections, and he
declares there must be no deviation
from attachment to free trade.
The duke confesses that he knows no
more now than when he left the late
government of what is implied by the
Balfourian fiscal scheme, which it's au-
thors declare to be acceptable to free
traders and protectioniSts alike. On
the other hand. he says, there is no
ambiguity about the Chamberlain pro-
paganda which is avowedly protection
list.
The manifesto contends that the
unionist party organization has largely
been captured by the protectionist
wing. and taFtt should the party bqcome
predomtnantly protectionist, theR. will
either be real danger to free trade or
the prospect of the exclusion of the
unionist party for an indefinite period
from either power or influence.
The duke declares. in conclusion,
that it is the duty of the unionist free
traders to take such action as will
prove that the unionist party as "a
whole, whether in power or in oppo-
sition, is still uncommitted to a retro
grade fiscal policy by whomsoever it
may be proposed.

r. D. KiIburn, Superintendent OF
Banks, Issues Annual Report,
Criticising Policy of the
Department
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 31.-Criticislns
of the policy of the state banking de-
partment, especially in connection with
the failure of certain banking institu-
tions of the state during the past year,
form an important part of the annual
report of Frederick ID. Kilburn, super
intendent of banks, to the legislature
made public tonight. Mr.. Kilburn also
had some interesting things to say or
the swindling of immigrants.
AFTER a bank falls" says Mr.. XII
burn, "and disclosures of dishonesty
are made, it is wondered why sucn
things could go on undiscovered so
long. 1t must be remembered that
these frauds and deceptions are In most
instances being carried on by men OF
unusual ability-men who stand very
high among their neighbors. not only
in business but also in social, religious
and political matters. Almost invari-
ably they deceive the whole communi-
ty. their business associates, their
friends and even their families. II Is
frequently an astonishing revelation to
all of these that the banker who has
failed, defaulted and perhaps abscond-
ed or killed himself is not a man of
wealth, as we'll as the ideal OF honor
and business integrity"
He recommends that the banking de-
partment should have authority over
railroad and steamship ticket selling
agencies which in conjunction with
their business receive deposits Of
money for transmission to foreign
countries. 1t is charged, Mr. Kilburn
says, that through some of these
agencies Immigrants are swindled out
of more than 100000 every year--a
part by flight OF the bankers after
they have accumulated deposits of
from $4,000 to $4,000. but more by their
accepting funds from newly arrived
immigrants for the purchase OF steam
ship tickets. with agreement to trans
NIT them to friends or relatives OF the
immigrants In Europe"
These funds or tickets, he says. are
oftentimes not transmitted, and when
complaint Is made TO the banker the
immigrant Is tricked or frightened into
not carrying the matter further
OF the general condition of the banks
OF the state the superintendent says
that the increase for the year Ia the
aggregate resources has been S64.000,-
