For months the government has been urging parliament\nnot to express any kind ol opinion upon\nlhe feasibility of preferential trade with\nthe colonies, ,1ml when Introducing\nmeasures tending to sueti un end it has\nwarded oil discussion on tbe ground\nthat it would not be fair to do or say\nanything until the colonial premiers\nhud bud it chance to announce their\nviews upon lhe subject. Unfortunately\nfor the government, the premiers hud\nalready come to a decision that they\nwould rofuso to make any suggestions\nuntil the imperial government puts forward its own intentions, Thnt is exactly what the cabinet not only does\nnot want, to do, but cannot do. Hence a\nperfectly tamo und futile ending muy be\nsafely prophesied for the much-adver-\ntlsod conferonco with the colonial premiers.\nOno of the hitter said to a representative of tbe Associated Press: \"We\nhave no voice in tlie (iscii! policy or\nGreat Britain, und have uol always complete control ol our own. Obviously jt\nis tiie duty of tbe mother and governing country to make propositions to us,\ninstead of our making propositus to it.\nWe might sit for months ami arrive at\nno conclusion satisfactory to all of the\ncolonies, and iu tlio end find that the\ndeliberations wero filed away in some\npgeon hole In Downing street. Lord Salisbury hit:: publicly stated his disbelief\nin tlm pracllcnbltlty of colonial preference, mil Sir .Michael Hlcks-Boach, the\nchancellor of the exchequer, lias openly\ndeclared his hostility hi the Idea. So,\nwhat is ihe good of our having a mock\ndebate ror tho sake of holding up Mr.\nChamberlain's hands inio the empty\nair?\"\nTho only end likely to be achieved at\nIbis really notable meeting Is one\nwhich is particularly Interesting In the\nUnited Slates and Canada, The Asso-\ncinlcd Press learns thai Sir Wilfrid\nLiiuricr, the Canadian premier; sir\nHubert Bond, tbe premier of Newfoundland, ami Mr. Chamberlain Intend to\nthresh out their long-standing differences of opinion, and on all sides there\nis hopefulness that a conclusion will be\nreached rogardlog the Bomi-Biniiie convention, Newfoundland is determined\nto hnve Ihe matler settled, and regarding Ihe questions now pending between\nthe United Statos and Canada the pros-\npi c! of a satisfactory agreement appears bright, though such matters as\nIhc Alaskan boundary and the remeet-\ning of the Joint high commission are\ninvolved.\nAnother noteworthy Item in connection with ttie conference Is that n proposition will lie brought forward for\nthe confederation of Newfoundland und\nCanada. Newfoundland will not consent to losing bor Individuality as the\noldest colony, especially in view of her\npresent satisfactory financial condition,\nthough Canada's offer to include the\nisland iu Un- dominion would mean u\nreduction \"f 20 per cent, of the taxation\nnow necessarily imposed on the Now-\nfoundlatldors, Sir Robert Bond believes\nthnt tin- same end enn he better\nachieved through reciprocity with the\nUnited Stales, which is much more Important to Newfoundland than imperial\ntrade preference.\n18\nToronto's Strike Lasted But\nThree Days.\nVICTORY FOR ARBITRATION\nMEN SECURED INCREASE BUT\nFAIL ON RECOGNITION.\nVote to Be Token Under Board of\nTrade Auspices Upon the Scale\nDen*,ded By the Men.\nToronto, June 2,1.\u2014The street railway\nstrike Is ended.

Experience\nis a better teacher than theory und tlie\nexperience of many years lias shown\nthat the so-called cheap labor is dear\nat any price. There are other things\nlo consider besides the cheap development of a mine or any othor propeity.\nThe development of the countiy as a\nwhole calls fur the lirst consideration of\neveryone honestly devoted to the welfare of lho province, lt has been conclusively proved that the presence here\nof Chinese and Japanese has retarded\nprogress iu Unit they have kept oat ut\nemployment while men who, with tholr\nfriends and families, would have been\ninstrumental in building up, not one\ntrado or calling alone, but tlie country\nas a whole.\nIt Is quite true lhat It Is highly desirable to develop any enterprise in tlie\nmost economical manner possible, but\nhero common prudence is called for and\nlhe concern thai blindly puts to work a\nlarge force of unskilled men to open up\na property about whose value there io\na considerable amount uf doubt, is\ntaking tlio best method uf inviting the\nvery failure It is so desirous of avoiding.\nIf our resources are luu lacking In the\nolemenU of success to warrant tho employment of wage earners of our own\nrace, and at a fair rate of pay, thoy are\nnot worth developing at all.

Their attention must lie called again and again\nto their own obvious needs, nnd they\nmust bo spurred up to buy now what\nthey have resolved but have neglected\ntu liny. One Important part nf the purposo nf advertising Is to remind pooplo\nthut they need certain things.\nAdvertising is another means uf saving u customer's time in selecting a\nplace to buy. The average man hntos\ntu buy things. He will wear bis shabby\nsbues a week ur twn before lie sets nut\ntu buy a now pair, and the selection ot\na suit uf clothes is a dreaded enterprise.\nHe hates to tnko upon himself tlie\nburden nf deciding which nro the best\nshoes und tho best clothing store. If\nbe sees certain ones advertised he is\nmure than prune to. favur them, for\nadvertising is practically a guarantee\nof honest worth nowndays. He knows\ntbat merchants do nut use newspaper\nBpaco for amusement. So when the\nsoles of his shoes get thin, or the lapels\nof lils coat grow limp, ho will, mure\nthan likely, go to the place where advertised articles nre snld, buying in all\nconfidence.

In the course of his\nInterview Sir Wilfrid says:\n\"The most important question just\nnow, us affecting tho relations und\nfriendly feeling existing between Canada and tho United States, is tho\nAlaska boundary question. This situation is full of danger, and all that is\nrequired to precipitate a disgraceful\nconflict is tho discovery of gold in the\ndisputed territory,\" Bald Sir Wilfrid.\n\"That so extremely Important an issue,\"\nho continued, \"should have been left\nopen so long, is not creditable to either\ngovernment. When the joint high commission adjourned sluo die the Alaska\nboundary question was referred back by\neach side to Its respective government,\nund from that dny to this nothing has\nbeon accomplished looking towards u\nsettlement of tho old dispute We are\nmost desirous that it should be sottlcd\non its merits to insuro continued friendship, to avoid local and sectional conflict\nand to remove the cause of serious international irritation.\"\nAsked whether he had nny hope of\nagain drawing attention to the Alaska\nquestion whilo in England, Sir Wilfrid\nreplied that he would endeavor to\nobtain for it tbo serious consideration\nof lord Lansdowne and United States\nambassador Choate. \"Wo are perfectly\nwilling to submit the question to arbitration,\" he added, \"but so long, of\ncourse, as tho United States maintains\nthat thoro is nothing to arbitrate the\nmenace of open conflict on tho disputed\ngrounds must continue to exist.\n\"When, during tho sessions of the\njoint high commission, arbitration was\nllrst suggested, it wns feared that there\ncould ho no agreement as to bow the\ncourt should be composed. Tho war\nwith Spain bad just been closed, mul\nInasmuch as most of the governments\nof Europe woro thought to have been\nhostile to the United States In thnt conflict, the American commissioners reared\nimpartial treatment at tho hands of representatives In the arbitration tribunal\nof European governments.\n\"At tho same time the British members of the joint high commission wort\nno loss apprehensive regarding the possible presence in the court of representatives of South African governments, on account of the influence upon\nthem of an application of tho Monroe\ndoctrine. Ilut the attitude of tho United\nStates government now is that there Is\nnothing to arbitrate. It appears to me\nthoro cannot ho a question if thero arc\nnot two sides to it, two points of view.\nHere is a most serious question. The\nCanadian government is prepared to\naccept the decision of an international\narbitration court, anil it is for such u\nsolution, ultimately, thnt we hope.\"\nTho Canadian premier had been asked\nto state his opinion of whnt tlie outcome of the conference of premiers nl\nLondon would be.\n\"The main subject to bo discussed by\ntho colonial premiers at London,\" he\nnnBwered, \"Is altogether too delicate to\ntalk about Oft-hand. There soenie to be\nn tendency hero and olsowhore to exaggerate the Importance of the suggested\ntrade arrangement belween Great Britain and her colonies. There Is in\nEngland, no doubt, a pnrty of considerable strength, that favors free trade\nwithin the British empire. But It must\nbo remembered that tho colonies raise\ntheir revenues through their customs\ntariffs; and coloniui expenses are necessarily large. To admit all the products\nof England nnd the sister colonies Into\nCanada free would entail a revolution\nin tho system of taxation.\n\"Until the colonial premiers have mot\nnnd expressed their views, no ono enn\ntell how muoh thero is that mny bo re-\ngnrded ns feasible In the ideas of tin\nImperial federatlonlsts. The English\ngovernment itself hns mnde known\nthnt It has no intention of giving any\ndefinite pledge regarding preferential\nrelations with the colonies until the\nministers have heard the opinions of\nthe colonial premiers on the subject.\nThe grain tax levied by tho home government may be a small beginning, hul\nlt Is too soon yet to so consider It, nnd\nthe chancellor of the exchequer hns\ndenied thnt It Is Intended to be a prelude to preferential dutios, am] also that\nit is an entering wedge of protectionism.\n\"So it must be quite plain that, a discussion now of the probable or possible\noutcome Of the conference of premiers-\nwould bo premature. There appears to\nbe In somo quarters n disposition to Involve questions of defence, which nre\npurely mllltnry, with those of revenue\nnnd customs, which arc purely political, nnd this may make If more difficult to reach a practical conclusion.\"\nHILL'S TRIBUTE TO CANADA\nHE ESTIMATES ITS RESOURCES AT\nTHEIR PROPER VALUE.\nmay be less the result of superior natural discernment than of his bettor\npoint of vantage. Tho fact that he was\nborn and brought up in this country Is\nundoubtedly In his favor. Other things\nbeing equal, his judgment of Canada's\npossibilities ought to outrun that of\nmen who never lived here. But Mb\nmain advantage lies In the fact that he\nis a railway king iu the great Bection\nof the United States bordering on our\nwest. The Great Northern, the Northern\nPacific, the Burlington and subsidiary\nlines aro under his sway. Hla big\nsystem feels the competition of the two\nsystems on our side of tlie boundary\u2014\ntlio Canadian Pacific and the Canadian\nNorthern. His position and his relations\nto this country hnve brought our energies and resources naturally within the\nscope of his study. That he covets the\nCanadian Pacific and his designs upon\nit is not improbable. With that road\nincluded in bis merger, he would have\na tremendous sweep of traffic over the\nwest. For all debatable traffic he has\nbeen an aggressive competitor of Canadian roads. Ho cut \"rates to detach\ntranscontinental trade from the C. P.\nIt., and mado specially low bids for the\nYukon traffic when that was at Us\nheight. Ho pushed lines into British\nColumbia, and manoeuvred to extend\nhis system into the Kettle river country.\nThe opening of the Crow's Nest Pass\nconl Holds attracted his enterprise and\ncapital to that quarter, and not only did\nhe invest in theso properties, but nlso\nin obtaining the right to tap them with\na lino of his railway. He is now building a fleet of enormous vessels to engage In tho Pacific trado in competition\nwith the C. P. R. Pacific lino. One of\ntheso vessels is to bo launched this\nautumn, another early next year. In\nan address delivered recently at the\nnnminl dinner of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association in Chicago, he said,\nreferring to the lumber of tho Pacific\nconst: \"To enable us to keep pace with\ntho enormous demnnd for this lumber\nwns tbo moving cnuso of our building\nthe largest ships In the world, through\nwhich we will bo prepared this fail to\nmeet not only tbe rates of'other transcontinental lines, both in tho United\nStates and Canada, but we will meet\nthe rates mado by steamer from tho Atlantic ports via tbe Suez canal.\"\nThis ex-Canadian is also struck with\nthe necessity of having something dono\nto prevent the rush of American settlers to our Northwest. \"For the first\nlime,\" he said, \"thousands of our farmers from states llko Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin nnd Minnesota nre seeking homes in tho Cnnndian\nNorthwest, owing to the cheap lands\noffered in that country, and to the difficulty of securing such lands in the\nUnited States.\" To stop this exodus he\nproposes a large scheme of government\nIrrigation for tho reclamation of desert\nlands In tbe American west. Naturally\nhe does not like to see trnfllc makers\ntrooping in thousands from his Bphere\nof railway influence to territory traversed by tho C. P. U. We should not be\nsurprised, however, If it would turn out\nthat he is in one of the big American\nsyndicates thnt are buying land In the\nCanadian west. It Is snid thnt ho hns\nprospectors In our Labrador iron fields.\nIt Is evident that Mr. Hill believes\nCanada to be n country of marvellous\ncapacities, and that he is convinced its\nprogress will be very swift.\nFOR RENT\nAdvorliBements Inserted under this head\nut tho rate of one cent a word por Insertion.
