They are all thoroughly ashamed of their lordly friends for the way in which the latter de dined to face their responsibilities and pay up like men. 1 think that on the whole our tariff reform friends are rather glad that our kinsmen beyond the seas are not here to take part in the election." The Daily Express under the heading "Colonial Premier Refutes Lloyd- George" sets the foregoing passage in parallel columns with Mr. Roblin's fears of the result if the Socialists dominate the liritish parliament, and the necessity of general recognition within the empire of the Briton over the foreigner.

Heaps states that the plans of the Alberta-British Columbia Elevator & Wharf Company, covering the erection of a large grain elevator at New Westminster, are still under consideration, although the British Columbia, government has refused to give financial aid toward the erection of elevators, either at Vancouver, Prince Rupert or New Westminster. The original request for aid in the building of elevators on the Pacific coast came from Alberta Interests and support from that end of the line is assured, there being a possibility that the government of that province will lend assistance to the project. A meeting of the directors of the company will bo held during the present month, at which the possibility of pro- ceedlng witti the construction of the proposed elevator during the coming season will be discussed.

China holds that for some years all dependencies and tne city of Macao have been occupied Illegally by Portugal, and that the only concession of territory ever made to Portugal was the town of Macao. China insists that the territory and adjacent islands be evacuated by Portugal.

COOK'S WIFE GOES AWAY TO JOIN HUSBAND Many Invitations Will Shortly Be Issued By the Tokio Chamber of Commerce. NOT A PANACEA. The latest information from Great Britain would seem to indicate that tariff reform Is likely to be the mala issue upon which the General Election will be contested rather than the question of the House of Lords. This is, of course, the strategy of the Unionists, who are putting the question as one of tariff reform, with more employment and brisker trade, versus a Socialistic budget and unfair taxes with increased unemployment and less capital. Mr. Chamberlain lias emerged from bis lengthy retirement and put forth a powerful manifesto on behalf of tariff reform, and Mr. Balfour lias taken up this question in quite a decisive way. This Issue opens up the whole question of the wisdom of imposing a turifl in Great Britain, and involves a very serious proposition to." that country, ll is very doubtful, Indeed some of the best minds consider 11 is quite unlikely that a return to protection will improve trade and employment. They urge that when Great Britain lias to work under a tariff she will be in precisely the same position as other important commercial countries of the world, and will have lost the advantage which she has hitherto enjoyed over all these under free trade by being able to manufacture cheaply. An Instance is given in regard to carriages and buggies. It is pointed out thai if a duly of ten per cent, were placed upon these as a manufactured article the imports might be lessened to the extent of perhaps fifty per ecu;; but as against this the British manufacturer would have to pay higher prices under the tariff for his materials, whilst bis workmen would also have to pay more for the necessaries of life, and would consequently require a proportionate increase of wages; therefore in the end the manufacturer would not be able to produce at very much, If any, loss than the price at which the Importer could place his carriages on the British market. There arc those too who urge, that a ten per cent, tariff would not bring about thai reduction in Imports which the Unionists are putting forth as a gospel. One of tin- mosl notable contributions to the discussion which �� tng hot In the Mother Country al i1"' present moment, has bi i a made by Mr. Chiozza Money, M. P. for the Metropolitan borough of Finsbury. He analyses the bearing of the proposed food duties, in tin article in the Westminster Ga/.ette. He shows thai on grain the consumers would paj $45,- OOO.tiiin, of which the treasury would receive $22,000,000, and the colonial farmers through the preference, $3,- 000,000. The tax on meat would Impose a burden of $28,000,000 on the consumers, the treasury receiving 111,260,000 and $1,750,000 going to the colonies. Dairy products would impose a payment of $20,500,000 by the consumers, $8,260,000 going to tho treasury and $1,250,000 to the colonies. The British people would make a total payment of $93,E ,000 of which 141,600,000 would be collected In revenue and $6,000,000 would go to the colonist producers in enhanced pi iocs. The remaining $46,000,000 would go to the British landowners In pro- lection. This would be exactly con verse in result to the Bystem ol ta ation at present prevailing Whi all taxation paid by the people goes directly into the public treasury. Tokio, Jan. 3.���Invitations to 300 American business men to visit Ja-1 pan to familiarize themselves with I business and social conditions in the Mikado's empire, will be Issued short- ly by the Tokio chamber -of commerce.
