J.. Stern & Son have for some time
been considering the advisability of
putting on contest, the only ques-
ton as to the value of the prizes to
be distributed to winners. 1t has
finanlly been decided that no prize
would be more coveted than a valu-
able piano, one that would be an
ornament to any home and a pride
to any musician. The only hesitancy
has ben caused by the great expense
of such a piano, and the time and
worry that would be caused by run
ing a contest of this kind. But it
finally decided that such a valuable
instrument would necessarily bring

provision for shedding the pure light
of truth on the tariff question. This sub
iect has been obscured by prejudice. oy
passion. by ignorance and by conflicting
interests. The tariff board will be Il
source, in Bacons phrase of Dry light.
And there is no field in which dry light
is more urgently needed Our best econ
omists, even those who are not free trad
ers. believe that our present tariff duties
are needlessly high. even on the principle
of equalization of costs at home and
abroad.
The tariff board will be able to furnish
us an IMPARTIAL determination of this
question. The general public certainly
believes. and this belief is one of the
most vital and potent factors in modern
politics. that the tariff confers a monop-
oily on certain trusts and enables them
to control prices and to oppress the con-
suming public.
THE tariff board should be able to tell
us how far this accusation is iustifiable.
and to recommend tariff amendments fo;'
the correction of such an intolera BILE
evil. 1t is widely assumed that any 90
duction in Il duty would entail>a cor
responding reduction in the price of the
article. This may be said to be the view
of the general public. Yet economic *

demonstrated over and over again that
such Il reduction of duties would not
make possible Il lowering of the price

Liberals Want No

London, Dec. 2.-The few days of dis
cussion in the general election CAM

as a party. will have none of a refer
endum on tariff reform. All the Liber-
al leaders from Premier Asuuith and

have freely deprecated the referendum
as being unsuited to Great Britain and
as tending to destroy the responsibility
of representative institutions.
Meantime. however, further famili-
aritE with the idea has had the effect
of uniting the whole Unionist party
and press in it's favor and Mr. Balfour's
courage in adopting it is hailed now
as having secured for his party an eX-
cellent prospect Of victory at the cleo
tiOnS. 1t is a curious fact that at the
time OF til" rupture of the recent veto
conference an inspired statement in
the Times. asserted that both sides
to the conference had rejected ue idea
of Il referendum. If that be the case,
Mr.. Balfour's decision must have been
an atter-thought and it is sstrted in
