A movement is afoot in the Senate, un-

compact regular Republican organization

those things inside the kingdom.
That will mean more employment
for British workmen, they argue;
and more employment will mean
more wages.
But look at the utter hollowness
of this. What are the things that
Great Britain chiefly imports?
Not manufactures. She exports
fare more of these than she i'm
ports.
Well, say the raw materials for
manufacturing into finished pro-
ducts.
Yet look at this. Take raw cot
toni used so largely in her Lam
cashire mills. When that cotton is
turned into manufactures, it sup
plies not alone the British market,
but is sent all over the world. So
that the cotton manufacturing in
dustry is not a small one. 1t is
a gigantic one already. Do the
lords actually thing they can make
British workmen believe they can
build up that industry still more
by taxing the raw cotton that goes
over there from the United States,
for instance?
|. What would taxing American
raw cotton mean to the Lanca-
shire cotton factory? 1t would
mean dearer cotton. Do the Ian
cashire cotton manufacturers think
that that would be a good thing?
If they do think so, why do they
shut down their mills for a sea-
son every time there is an attempt
in America to corner cotton and
force the price very high? When
the mills shut down, do the work
men who are thrown out of work
prosper or not? Certainly wages
do not increase.
Then how can the lords raise
wages in the cotton and similar
fields in Great Brit J
ain by putting a tax upon cotton
and other raw materials used
there?
The proposal is a humbug, pure
and simple.
And while they fool the work
man, they intend to rob him.
For the things they are abso-
lutely certain to put taxes upon ifI
they get the chance are food stuffs
grains chiefly. Great Britain
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-01-10

traises only a small portion of the
grain it consumes. Most of it is
imported. A considerable share
goes from the United States. A
penalty, in the form of tax. will
be placed upon this imported grain.
The price of grain in Great Brit
ain will go up. Food will cost
more. Will that be a blessing to
the British workman?
oh, but if the importation of
grain is discouraged, the growing
of grain at home will be encour-
aged, the lords says. The farmers
will be encouraged. There will be
an increased use for their land.
The prices of farming land will
go up.
Well, but who owns that farm
ing land? Not the workman. Not
the small farmer, either; for there
are few small farmers other than
truck farmers in Great Britain.
The kind of farming land that
would be benefited in this way is
owned in large part by the lords
and the rest of the privileged class.
So that really what the lords Of
fer to the British workman is a
stone in exchange for dearer food.
Will the workman be a fool and
vote for it?

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-Can the
British workingman be gulled?
That is the underlying question
in the great electoral struggle now
going on in the United Kingdom.
He has been fooled so many times
that the princes of privilege think
they can fool him again. At any
rate, they are trying to do it, and
are promising him all manner of
things.
Chief among the promises is
that If he will vote for their parliav
mentary candidates and give them
a majority in the house of COM
mons. they will raise his wages.
1t is the old bait of despotism.
If the worker will produce some
thing and hand it over to the idler,
the idler will give a part of it
back to the worker. Simple and
palpable as 1t Is, 1t has caught the
worker ten thousand times. viii
1t catch him this ten thousand and
first time?
What these benevolent lords in
this instance say Is that they will
increase wages by reforming laws.
Reforming what laws? Why. the
laws relating to commerce.; or|
rather the customs laws that bear
upon only few things in that
country now. but which, they say,
ought to be made to bear upon

Not the least of Hall Gaines

hirsute trimmings to make him
resemble certain bust of Shakes
peare in Westminster Abbey. Ac-
cording to many of his critics, the
resemblance ended there.
Game has aroused public inter-
est by the announcement that he
shortly will bring forth another
novel of the kind that he loves to
write.
His home, on the Isle of Man,
lie picturesque and he loves the
Manxmen, about whom he has
written at least one good novel.
Game is one of that number of
modern English writers who are
peculiar both in person and in
