This work was formerly done by Chief
Wilkie of the far-famed secret service of
the Treasury Department. The province
OF this service was in the beginning TO
prevent counterfeiting. But when other
departments needed sleuths they called
on Chief wilkie because there was no
other organized detective agency in the
government service. Then as an incident
to a battle between President Roosevelt
and Congress, the latter saw fit 10 crush
the old secret service. The President
had intimated that certain members OF
IL were keeping a watchful eye on certain
congressman who were suspected OF using
their positions for the purpose OF further
ing their own fortunes. Congressional
dignity was outraged. Vengeance was
taken by limiting Chief Wilkie TO the
narrow groove OF counterfeit prosecution

LONDON. January -. 1910
| The British ections as far as they have
gone, and more than half the number of
constituencies have now poled, show con-
iclusively that the cry of tariff reform
which has been dinned into the ears of
the electors for the past four years has
had its effect and has come only a little
short of winning. Nearly all the seats
RETAINED by the liberals held re-
Educed majorities. showing the slant of
Iopnion in favor of tariff even where it
has not won seats.
| The most utter foolishness has been
talked on the subject and hundreds of
iWould-be reformers firmly believe that it
lis the foreigner who will pay the duty
on importatonS to this country under a
| tariff, though he cannot explain how
that happens. In fact, neither the union
lists nor their leaders yet know the a. b. C
of tariff measure, but despite the as
founding ignorance that has been dis
played during the campaign In election
addresses and from platforms, the daily
repetition that tariff reform means work
tor all has undoubtedly greatly affected
| the electorate at large, who do not realize
that Great Britain is not in the fortunate
position that America is in regard to
home supplies and raw material.
Depend on Irish Vote.
| The majority that the liberals will Sc
cure will be so small that they will be-
| dependent on the Irish vote, and it re-
mains to be seen if Mr.. Asquith's re-
served statements on home rule will sat
lisfy the members from Ireland. If not.
none of the reforms promised can be
carried out. though in all probability the
lLloyd-George budget will become law. /
have it on good authority today that con-
servative agents have in every case
warned their members just elected to
continue to cultivate their constituencies
ardently because another general election
| is expected by next June. If the liberal
major ty is as small as is indicated at
present. they will surely be defeated on.
some important measure and be obliged
to Dissolve parliament again. And If this
proves to be the case, you in America
may prepare for a tariff schedule to be
adopted here in Great Britain for in the
minds of the observant free trade is GER
tainl:' doomed in this country.
| The amount of money spent on electoral
propaganda is becoming serious
political problem. There are acts of
cand dates are limited to stated sums,
| but these expenses are only small part
/ of the sum which may be, and is. spent in
promoting the various political interests.
| Apart altogether from the enormous out
| lays OF the different leagues and associ-
atoms, the candidates themselves have,
| in many cases, to meet very large bills
which do not appear in the official re-
turns of their expenses.
