It has long been the dream of Mr. Chamberlain to bring a tout closer relations between the home country and the great self-governing colonies He has I*--Ueved that unless imperial union In some thing more than name could be realized, there could be no hope of permanency or eyen of a long continuance of the present status. The more populous and powerful the great colonies become, the more •elf-aufflcient they feel themselves, the lees will they \m disposed to be satisfied With dependence on a power beyond the seas unless they are bound to It by other tie* than those of kinship and sentiment. In the furtherance of hi* dream of imperial union, and possibly, a* bis enemle* ■tirmlse. In the hope of distracting the attention of the people from the blunders of the war, Mr. Chamberlain a few months ago announced that he favored the adoption of a new fiscal policy, Thlfl was to be a ret uni In a limited way to protective tariff* with preferential treatment of Imports from

the colonies.

Since this announcement the ancient question of free trade and protection, long supposed to have been set tied for ail time In Great Britain, ha* been the principal topic of discussion on the platform ami In all the newspapers of the United Kingdom Theie i* little doubt that the great^masse* of the people are opposed to a reopening of the question and an unsettling of the eowfttions of trade and industry that have prevailed for the last fifty year*. This Is shown alike by the mass of correspondence printed In papers like the Tlm«« and the Spectator, and hy the result* In the by-electlon* of the last few

weeks,

.But Mr. Chamberlain ha* stenrifH*tly adhered to his announce,! policy. At the Cabinet meetings this week he h;<* Insisted that his plan should be ndopte,) n* the policy of the government and of the party. While Mr. Balfour, the Premier, la evidently more than half convinced that complete free trade should be given up, he Is not preps re,] to accept Mr Chamberlain’s program. Neither, apparently, nr* other member* of the ministry. The ,re*mll Is that Mr. t’hamberlnin has resigned from the Cabinet.

It la altogether probable, therefore, that we shall soon see'a dissolution of Parliament ami an appeal to the country- If 'the appeal is made on th* quest Ion of a revival of protection, of the abandonment of free trade, and the Conservatives stand a* a party for the reactionary policy, it would seem from all present Indications that the Liberals would have an excellent chance of coming back into power.

It Is obvious that (tie Lleber pull, both with the saloons and with the administration, is powerful. Lieber has power to control these saloons In the interest of the administration, and to influence the administration in the interest of the saloons. That the combination is powerful In politics Is notorious These Lieber saloons have contributed to the Book waiter campaign fund. Ami Mr I ■ ;>#: is posing before this community as, a Kepobllcan.

GREAT BRITAIN'S TRADE.

The figures made public by the British government, presumably as an argument in favor of a change In the fiscal system, do not seem to prove much. For instance, It Is •hown that Groat Britain a exports to all countries declined JSOOOa,ttv In twelve years, although when the colonies aro Included, as they should be. the decline is only J5.ftM.000. This, surely, is not alarming. In W0. M per cent of the exports went to protected countries, and 44 per cent, to other countries. I^ist year the protected countries took but 42 per cent, while other countries took 58 per cent. But even this does not prove that high duties of themselves kept out British goods, for tney did not do so prior to 1S» What has happened Is that the protected countries have developed their productive capacity — which fact can. of cturse. be attributed to protection, if one chooses to ignore all the other factors in the problem. It is further pointed out that while jhe exports to foreign countries have fallen off by J90.M0.0Q6, import* have increased by J6S5.ftM.M0. Here wj have an increase in foreign trade of $545,MMM, and this is not a bad showing
