Great Britain
Stands Alone.

Few other non-cOm-
petitive articles. The principle of pro-
lection is denied in the British tariff
system, and it's revenue customs are de-
rived from such articles as to prevent
even slight incidental protection. In
this respect Great Britain stands alone
among all the nations of the earth, sep
arated even from it's own colonies by
tariff barriers; wholly defenseless in "a
tariff war because deprived of the only
weapon effective in such warfare-the
power of retaliation.
The patriotic intelligence of the union
list party deplOreS this isolation, no longer
"splendid,' and would substitute for the
present system an imperial tariff union.
which would institute a protective tariff
for Great Britain, and, by means of a
preferential system, include all parts of
the British empire within the British
tariff boundary, thus effecting an eco
nonAic union of the empire. Solidarity of
the empire now is maintained by love and
fear-love of the crown and fear of for
eign foes. To love and fear Mr. Cham
berlain would add interest. Just now
Great Britain can give no preferential

THE
BRITISH
CRISIS

| LONDON, July eff the Tories
win the next general election in
Great Britain it will be because
they hold the trump card of tariff
reform. The conservatives. or unfonists,
as they prefer to call themselves, in
sisted that the tariff question was the
paramount issue in the campaign of last
January 1t must be admitted that the
unionist gains in that election nearly all
were the result of tariff reform propa-
ganda. If the campaign had been fought
altogether upon the tariff issue the union
lists would have won victory. This has
| been admitted by the shrewdest poll
ticians of the liberal party. who recog
nized the fact, even before the election,
! in a defensive battle solely on the issue
of free trade. 1t was equally certain that
they. could not win except by supporting
free trade. Although the constitutional
crisis precipitated by the clash between
commons and lords and the progressive
social legislation advocated by the liberal
government resulted directly in a feeble
victory for the radicals, the election def
nitely determined but one thing, and that
was that free trade is no longer set
tied doctrine of British polity.
If the unionist party could stand
squarely on the merits of it's doctrine of
ocratic i'm
Orthodox Toryism erialism and tariff
Weak. n.n,,,d 30 ah,s -
destroy the present radical-liberal or
ganization The trouble is that demo-
cratic Imperialism and tariff reform are
shibboleths of a comparatively few men,
| mostly eX-liberals, who are genuinely
| frightened by the specter of socialism.
! They depend for votes upon a following
purely tory, made up of the privileged
| landlord cless, the established church, and
the liquor trade. That these liberal
unionist leaders are able to dictate the
positive policies of the tory political ma
chine is proof of the essential weakness
| of orthodox toryism. So 1t was in the
| last campaign, when the liberals made a
direct attack upon privilege; the party of
| privilege, declining direct battle, fol-
lowed the lead of the erstwhile radical
Chamberlain and shouted itself hoarse
for tariff reform.
| 1t is superfuous. perhaps, to remind the
reader that tariff reform in Great Brit
| ain means exactly the opposite of what
| 1t does in the United States. Tariff re-
form in England is sugar coated phrase
meaning protection, the word protection"
| being odious on account of the great free
trade movement successfully led by Cob
den and Bright little more than half
| a century ago. So successful was that
| free trade battle that the tory party
definitely abandoned the doctrine Of pro-
| lection, and was reconverted only by a
great effort.

POSTAL SAVINGS STAMPS.

Washington, Oct. 18:-Unele Sam
as a source of supply for Santa Claus
has switched from gold pieces to
stamps. Up to this year the govern
ment minis coined large quantities of
two-and-a-half dollar gold pieces
which were known among the treas
ury officials as Christmas money.
1t was decided this year to discon-
tinue the coinage of the gold pieces
and now Uncle Sam has placed an
order for a large quantity of bright
new yellow postal Savings stamps,
These together with a postal card
upon which they are to be pasted,
represent a deposit in Uncle Sans
new Postal Savings Bank. In order
to stimulate savings among the
youngsters of Yankee Land, Uncle
Sam has gone to great expense to
furnish an attractive stamp. 1t is ex-
fpected that there will be great de-
mand for these stamps at Christmas
time. e 2
The card upon which the stamps
are pasted will cost ten cents and will
be in fact a bank book" 1t repre-
sents the initial deposit of ten cents.
Each card holds. nine steamps which
cost ten cents each, This may be ex-
changed for a dollar certificate.

Washington, Oct. S:-General
Demetrio Castillo, chief of the Ma
tional Prison at Havana, who was
civil governor of the province Of
Santiago when General Wood was
military governor, has found nothing
in the United States which cannot be
attained in Cuba. He. spent two
weeks In visiting American penal in
situations from New York to Illinois
and, although he admits that the
tour was interesting, he saw nothing
that Cuba. will not duplicate in time,
SO he says.
Cuba is prosperous" he said,
"and Cuba is quiet. Moreover, we
will remain quiet. The sugar crop
was a bumper. All we want now is
to develop along our own lines. Only
give us time"
The island is nov preparing for
elections. Fully half the lower
house will be elected. But General
Castillo sees nothing eyentful for the
future.
'NThe liberal party controls the
country" he said, land the political
complexion of the legislature will re-
main the same. Consequently there
will be no upheayal and no change"

In the Malay Peninsula,
The Malay Peninsula, he states,
produced about 65 per cent. of the
worlds output of tin. The total pro-
duction is valued at some SAL ,000,-
900.
The United States consumes one-
fourth of this. Now nearly one-half
of the total exports of the country to
the Malay Peninsula are. contained in
in cans, the same tin sent from them
the crude form. A great part of
dis export is in one gallon tin buc-
gkets containing petroleum. After
the contents of these cans have been
used, the natives convert them into
every conceivable household utensil.
The interior of any Malay or Chinese
home in the Peninsula, says the CON
sui, Is filed with American tin cans
of every size and shape. Holes are
punched in them for sleeves, they are
fashioned into dust pans, baking and
cooking utensils and water buckets.
Indeed the demand has become so
great that it Is branching into an In

This little American invention has

zeal finger intended to discriminate
by delicacy of touch between various
substances submitted to it. The ready
detection Of the degree of hardness
and elasticity of various surfaces is
its special function. 1t consists es-
~sentially of q light weight, like the
hammer of a Pile driver, which is al
lowed to fall inside a tube placed up
right on the surface to be tested The
bottom OF the hammer, which weighs
only a few grams, is finished with a
blunted diamond, intended to give it
the requisite hardness. After a fall it
rebounds, and a carefully graduated
scale ON the tube. indicating the
height of the rebound, shows the de-
gree of hardness Of the surface expert

steel the hammer rebounds H~ine-tenths

PERFECTION OF WIRELESS.

Washington, Oct. 1S:-The last
touch of perfection to the use of the
wireless as a safety appliance to
ships has been added by several Ital-
fan scientists who have elaborated
on a compass actuated by Hertzian
waves"
This compass differs from the us
ual needle used in navigation In that
1t Is not sensitive to the earth's, mag
net but to electrical currents. With
this device aboard, a ships captain in
the foggiest weather a locate any
nearby vessel that Is sending out
wireless messages as the needle
points directly to the centre of the
electric currents sent out from the
other vessel.
Likewise when a vessel in distress
sends out the wireless G. @. D. call
for help, an approaching rescue ship
is directed by this compass directly
to the ship. One Of the greatest
handicaps heretofore has been the
delay which has occurred during the
search for the wrecked ship through
repeated wireless directions. In the
instance of the sinking of the steam
ship Republic, one of the most nota-
BILE instances of the value of the
wireless in calling aid to wrecked
ships, the vessel drifted a great dis
lance after sending out the c. @. d.
call. D..
This neeessitated a four-hour
search by the reseping ship after it
had reached the original location tel
egraphed by the Republic. Had the
condition of the Republic been more
critical, the result of the delay might
have been dfsastrus. With this new
this difficulty would have
been obViated.
