thi country" Lord Balfour declares.
The text of Lord Balfour's statement
follows:
1.-TWO hundreds and thirty eight
years have passed since a revolution
occurred in this country. whose OBJ
ject was to secure the, supremacy or
parliamentary government and the
traditional liberties of our people.
Through eight generations it has
proved successful.
But we now are threatened, it
seems, with a revolution of a very
different kind, and it behooves JUS
seriously to consider what would be
it's actual results were 1t, unhappily,
to succeed. Its methods are being
practised before our eyes: they are
to deprive the people of food, trans
port, employment and a free press.
The conveniences of civilized life,
which long have been counted among
its necessities are in some cases to
be immensely diminished, in others
to be brought to an end.
Personal security is to be threat
ened; industry is to seriously ham
pered, even when it is not wholly
stopped. Willing workers are to be
kept in idleness; purchasers are to
be kept in want; perishable food is to
rot in warehouses. All the wheels of
social life are to be clogged."
Such are the methods of the
revolutionary movement. What,
then, are it's objects?
THE nominal object is to main
tain unchanged existing conditions
of the miners remuneration as re-
CARDS hours of work and rate of pay.
There is no man who does not heart
ly share this desire; but neither is
there any man who has read the coal
miners report who thinks it can be
satisfied under existing conditions.
Were the revolution to succeed to-
morrow. the country would suffer,
but the miner would not gain. No
revolution in Great Britain. however.
is going to diminish foreign compe-
tition in neutral markets: no revo-
hutton is going to hasten the changes
recommended by the commission in
the methods and organization in the
mining industry; no revolution is
going to compel the mine owner in
definitely to carry on his industry at
a loss. Revolutionary methods
would be completely powerless ex-
cept for evil.
"On the other hand their power for
evil is beyond calculation. All
strikers, all lockouts, are costly both
to employees and empoyed. But
neither in fact nor, believe. in law,
is the course advocated by the trades
unions a strike in the proper sense
of the term. 1t is what / have called
tan attempted revolution"

WEEKLY FINANCIAL

NEW YORK, April 10-A marked
softening of money rates was the chief
characteristic of this weeks financial
markets Stock prices moved within
rather narrow and irregular limits,
but the undertone was firm and the
volume of trading was the smallest
in about year. Bond prices were
quick to reflect the easing of the
credit situation, moving up briskly
despite the competition by new offer
ings of about 125,OOO,OOO most of which
were promptly sold.
Several interesting movements took
place in the foreign exchanges. The
Canadian dollar sold at premium for
the first time this year, and japanese
yen strengthened materially on the
announcement of gold exports to this
country. Sterling exchange held firm
but French and Belgian francs drop
ped to around their extreme low levels,
and then made partial recovery. Dutch
and Swiss currencies were strong but

heavy, Indian rupees falling to new

CHICAGO, April 10. Wheat ad-

by prospect of more than 100000
bushels decrease on the United States

Closing quotations for wheat We're

$1.37 to $1.371s, with corn 3sc to u

provisions exactly the same as "a
hours before.
In addition to the expected falling
off in the domestic visible supply of
wheat world shipments for the week
are estimated at 12,500,00O bushels as
against 1899, 900 bushels a year ago.
Besides, Chicago stocks of wheat al

All of these factors helped to strength

posedly sensational private estimates
made by Chicago trade experts three
months ago, did much also to promote
buying throughout the 1day in the
wheat market here. There were also
advices at hand that heavy winter
killing of wheat in Illinois is becoming
apparent and that export sales of
North American wheat this week were
of liberal volume. Under such circum-
stances efforts to check the upward
trend of the market proved futile, and
the May delivery established itself
again above $1.60 bushel.
Corn sympathized with wheat

Provisions were steadied by the
firmness of hog values and by pur-
