Tariff Barrier and High Prices.

Sugar is largely imported, and the
duty on it is the very basis of the
much-criticized semi-monopoly OF the
sugar trust. Meat in various forms
could be imported at profit in parts of
the country now, and as things are
going it could be brought in more and
more were it not for the tariff barrier
that defends the meat trust against
competition.

KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH
ON EVENTS IN MANCHURIA
America Determined to Maintain
the Open Door Policy With Re-
gard to Railroad Construction.

State Department officials maintain
close secrecy in regard to the diplomatic
situation arising from the era Of rail-
road construction in Manchuria. Devei-
opments there have been followed with
the keenest attention on account of the
determination to maintain the 'open door
policy in that section Of the world.
Secretary Knox has been considering
carefully the treaty recently entered into
by China and Japan relating to rail-
roads in Manchuria. It was reported
weeks ago that the United States would
protest to China and Japan against this
treaty on the ground that it iRterfered
with the equal opportunities" in Man
churia. Secretary Knox issued a state
ment in which he said that careful study
of the subject found that the treaty did
not create for Chinese and Japanese
subjects monopoly to carry on mining
operations along the South Manchurian
railway and the Antung Mukden railway
which would exclude Americans from
an extensive field of industrial enterprise.
If Americans are not accorded freedom
Of operation in Manchuria. even If the
Chinese and Japanese do not enjoy mo-
nopolistic favors, still there might be
found ground for asking the powers to
take such steps as might offset the
disadvantage in which Americans and
Europeans would thus be placed.

The advantages OF such an arrange

SPEAKERS HOWLED DOWN
Conservative Press and Peers Them

of the House Of Lords.

LONDON, January 6.-Two phases of
the election struggle now claim attention
first. the disorderly Interruptions to

a fair hearing. and. second, the realiza-

storm of protest the peers action in con-
nection with the budget aroused in the
country.
The reform of the house of lords has
been openly urged by the Times and
other conservative organs, and was last
night the most interesting point Of the
speech of Lord Lansdowne at Liverpool.
The opposition leader in the lords be-
gan by declaring that there never had
been a campaign SO remarkable for the
intemperance of their opponents IAN
guage. which. however. was not symp-
to a long defense of the house of lords
action on the budget. he admitted that
the present house was too unwieldy for
an effective second chamber. He be-
lieved in the preponderating power OF the
house of commons, and suggested house
of lords within the upper house and that
this reform ought to be the work. not
of one, but of both political parties work
ing together. He did not indicate how
this inner house should be chosen, be-
yond objecting to the elective principle.
on the ground that an elective chamber
would claim what even the present house
of lords did not claim, namely, co-ordi-
ate power with the popular house
