In speaking Of the power used, Mr..

duced their power cost to 20 cents per ton

In others words, that reduction on a

$4,000 per day.

gold manufacture. The first mining in
the Klondike was of the speculative kind
of our forefathers. Men dug holes in the
ground and dragged out fortunes in gold
dust and nuggests. The only difference
was that in the Klondike the frozen
ground had to be thawed down twenty,
thirty or forty feet to where the gold lay.
That sort of mining could not be done
unless the gold averaged many dollars a

central powers, but whether the ma
jority of his associates will agree with
him is yet to be settled. They are
likely to be a unit in favoring dis
elimination against the products of the
central powers in the markets. Some
of them also are understood to favor
denying to the enemies of the empire
raw materials which are produced in
Canada, Australia. South Africa, India
and the other British posse ssions. There
is not, however, unity on this propo-
sition.
An international boycott Of the goods
of an enemy after the war might be
practicable. but a boycott of their own
products in the markets of the enemy
is different proposition. 1t is in the
nature Of an embargo which might

ket will loom up with overshadowing
significance.
Should the United Kingdom give
preference to the colonies in supply
ing foodstuffs to her people, Russia will
have a just grievance. since she needs
the Eglish markets not only for her
wheat. but for many other agricultural
products. Russia hardly would be con-
tent with the privilege Of supplying

h.sitated to prescribe economic poll
cies. as when she insisted on the In
dian government laying a countervail-
ing tax on cotton manufactures for the
benefit Of the Manchester mills as
against the Indian mills.
Possibly these big economic ques-
tions may be kept in the background
for a while, yet 1t is not easy for an
imperial conference to formulate the
basis for economic Imperialism after
the war by ignoring them.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-02-18

the United Kingdom would he able to
absorb all the raw materials. such as
copper and iron ore, that the British
possessions produce, while the other
entente allies not being as a rule
manufacturing countries. would not be
purchasers Of these raw materials.
The first question. however. for the con-
ference in the proposed strengthening OF
empire as well as a political one. will re-
late to the present tariff systems. Nearly
all the self-governing colonies have pref
erential tariff systems for the benefit OF
England. and in several instances they
extend these benefits to their sister col
onies. 1t Is expected that plans will be
formulated for making this intercolonial
tariff system broader and of more general
application, although the matter is an eX-
tremely difficult one.
Before much progress can be made in
the adjustment of the tariff relations of
the colonies and the United Kingdom on
economic lines. it will have to be de-
termined what the tariff policy of Eng
land is to be. The war revenue legisla-
ton of England has done what ten years
OF political agitation failed to do-that is.
1t has opened the way for the adoption of
a protective tariff.
Historic free traders. such as Viscount
Bryce, from time to time have issued
declarations against the abandonment of
free trade and have voiced their belief
that the duties imposed in the war rev.
enue measures foreshadowed no abandon
ment OF the principle, although the legis-
lation gave incidental protection to some
industries.
Arthur Balfour. the present foreign Sec
rotary. when the head Of the unionist
party. never acquiesced In the propa-
ganda for protective duties, and his re-
fusal to do this was one reason why the
program never was realized. Mr.. AS
quith. as the chief Of the liberal party.
when premier frequently reiterated his
opposition to protection in any form. and
he has been in accord with Viscount
Bryce in declaring that the war revenue
measures are no acknowledgment of pro-
lection as principle. But Lloyd George
and the practical statesmen who with
him in the ministry are opportunists, and
their ascendency gives encouragement to
the advocates of protection. They are
more vital force in the present state of
British opinion than Mr.. Asquith out of
office. and Mr. Balfour in the foreign Of

GREATER SHEEsLEY SHOWS.


 The Athletic club of Remington City had to do some lively tangoine to find location for their shows, this week as the ruling of the war depart ment at Washington makes it. impos- sible for shows or other gatherings to occupy premises in close proxirnity to factories where munitions of war are made or kept.
 The beneficiaries of the events are the Red Cross society and the factors in drawing the crowd are the Greater Sheesley shows. It has been arranged to have the exhibitions at the old Circus lot all the week, afternoon and evening. Among other new features a recruiting station with regular officers will be located upon the grounds and some noted speakers will make ad- dresses at intervals. There will be regular squad of soldiers and of ficers on hand every session.
 The Greater Sheesley shows have been congratulated on account of the cleanliness of the many shows as well as the great variety, combining all the principle features of circus, hippo drome and park productions.
 There will be band concerts, fire- works and free acts twice daily and the many friends of the Remington City Athletic club are jubilant over the promised prospects in behalf of the Red Cross sc1ub.

Walnut Beach is to- be tented garden city this summer from re- ports which have reached this city, During the last summer a large ex- cess population, attracted by the fine bathing, exceptional garden facilities and proximity of the shore resort to Bridgeport camped in the open when all available houses were taken.
 With notable increase in the number of houses built during the winter, real estate dealers today re- port not one rent to be had at that beach.
 Probably one of the most notable strides yet recorded in caring for Bridgeport's big population is made today in an announcement by Arthur Elwood, the noted Connecticut auc- tioneer, who advertises the sale of 635 lots of land centrally located in Walnut Beach, each with a, tent and flooring upon it.
 investigation of the site, located near pole no shows it to be one of the most fertile garden spots in Fairfield county. Those purchasers under the auction sale which will be conducted so that favorable pay- terms may be had, will give Bridge ports excess population and those who wish to provide food for them selves during the coming winter an ideal opportunity for they will not only have a home, but land that is capable of growing crops
 A nota able feature of the sale is that beginning on Decoration Day, May 3O. it will continue for one week un- less all lots are sold prior to that time.
