It enables the-manufacturer to get his material cheaply, and\nit enables, him to sell at home or to\nsell abroad cheaply.- The difference\nbetween the British and German position in this regard is so great that ir.\nis literally true to say that Germany\nenjoys more internal free trade than\nBritain' does. High railway rates are\nequivalent to a customs barrier between England and Scotland, or between Birmingham, and Bristol. No\nbusiness question more urgently demand's the attention of the British\ntrader. -\n\u00C2\u00AB The Wages Census . .\nBOARD OF TRADE REPORT ON\nEARNINGS o '., '\n' I. do not think it is clearly understood that,the Board of Trade-report\non earnings, which has been published\nin parts recently, - and the .last part\nof'which, relating-to,the metal trades,\nwas published only-the other day, is\nnot a complete investigation of the\nsubject. Take_.class-6,-on-.the-metal,.\nengineering and shipbuilding trades.\nThe facts' which should be carefully\nborne in mind are:\n1. The number of people employed\nin these trades in- 1906 was about\n1,500,000.\n2. The number of people Included\nin the returns made by employers was\nonly 744,000, or less than one-half the\nnumber which ought to' be investigated. '-\nWhat does this mean? It means\nthat the Board of Trade has'\"never\ngiven power to compel , employers to\ndivulge, their wages. ' Therefore they\ndo the best, they can. They ask firms\nto volunteer information. What is the\nresult? The efficient firm\", the best\nfirms, the, firms which pay the highest rates of .wages, make returnsglad-\nly.'^ The'inefficient firmsi the sweating firms do not make returns.\" As a;\nresult the Board of Trade 'does,not\ngive us a fair picture of wages..'The\nstatistics they publish ought -' to be\nheaded: '.\"Wages paid by, the'best\nfirms in the- trades - concerned.,-,' I\nsuggest-to the Board, of \"Trade that\nthey ought to point out more clearly\nthan they do what It is their statistics\nrelate to., Let the reader Imagine that\nthe householders of London were\nasked to state what they paid to their\ndomestic servants.

Democratic development has been gradually\nmanifesting itself in China for years\npast, and the spirit of freedom, onco\nit gains a foothold, is too strong to be\nimpeded for any length of time by the\nbarrier of medinev.il corruption and incompetency.\nThe Causes'of Unrest -\nThat the revolution is not so much\ndirected against the actual ruling\nhouse as against the theocratic principle from which it draws its power\nmay be gathered from the fact that\n,the Emperor is but a child of six years\nof age. He,, at any rate, cannot be\nblamed for the abuses which\" have\npressed, so heavily - on tlie fresher\nminds of'the nation. The attack is\ndirected against the system which has\nbeen unable to rid itself of. some of\nthe greatest blots which can mar the\nhistory of any'nation. The mal-ad-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ministration of justice, and the awful\n.state of prisons, the employment\" of\neunuchs, the sanction'of'domestic sla1\nvery, and the almost universal prevalence of foot-binding are but a few of\ntbe things which the existing form of'\ngovernment has been unable to eradicate in conformity with the prevailing\n\".trend of modern civilization.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 But beside this negative aspect of\n- the revolutiontion, there is a. positive\none which is of even greater significance. The establishment of .provincial assemblies, and the election of the\n' Constitutional Assembly of the Empire\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Home Rule we would call, it\u00E2\u0080\u0094has\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 given the Democracy of China, some\nconception of its power, and some idea\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094of~it\"s~possibiiitiesl TJrT\"G~Er_^lorfi-\n' son, the famous Pekin'war correspon-\ntraceable, to Western Democracy.\nSome of the impetus may have\u00E2\u0080\u009Ebeen\ngathered from the example of Japan,'\nbut even here the assimilation of Western ideals has been' so characteristic\nof the awakening that the new Japan\nis in many respects merely a-modification of one of the' Democratic nations of the West. It is tlie evidences\nof the material benefits of Western\nDemocratic ideals that has stirred\nChina from the basis of her government, be the present' revolution successful or be it held in check for a\nfew more years to come.\" ' \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nThe Leader of the Revolt\nTlio central figure of tho revolution\nis Dr: Sun Yat Senf whose masterful\nhandling of, tho situation bears out the\nhigh impression that his qualities conveyed to the many Englishmen with\nwhom he has como in contact. He is\nthe only survivor of the original eighteen revolutionaries who promoted tho\nmodernizing of tho Chinese Government. Those who have met him describe him as a charming and highly-\ncultured gentleman. He is modest\nand extremely reserved, and gives neither in his appearance noW.his speech'\nthe impression of a leader of men. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nHis influence is not due to personal\nmagnetism nor high oratorical power,\nbut to his strong commonsense and his\nunbounded patriotism. He believes\nin Chinese Democracy and Chinese Democracy-believes in him. The injustice and oppression of China is his\nmoving force. Tbe law he regards as\na farce. Justice is bought and sold.\nCorruption and oppression are almost\nunbearable. If a business'man introduces improved machinery all the bene\nfit 'to be derived from that machinery\nis immediately taken away from him\neither'by the Government or by corrupt officials. Dr. Sun .Yat Sen is\nconvinced of the success of the revolution. His object is not to replace the\npresent dynasty by another one. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Dynasty has followed\"dynasty. Yet corruption and oppression have remained.\nHe is determined to change the form\nof_ Government and to introduce a Republic. He holds that the Chinese are\nso highly-educated, so law-abiding, 59\neasily led, and so much given to' cooperation that there would be no difficulty in establishing a Republic. His\nideal is a form of Government similar'\nto that of-the United States.

Can\nAnother story relates, that in the',\nsame province there was a Roman Catholic Archbishop and-Tsen was considerably irritated by discovering that\nall his plans and ideas quickly became\nknown to the reverend gentleman, y\nLooking around,' he thought he was\nnot far wrong in guessing that the sec-\nrvlary of his lieutenant was the informer.' Approaching the latter/he.\nsuggested'that .the secretary was look,\ning'rather ill, end perhaps it would\nbe* better if he went away for a change.\nThe lieutenant, all unsuspecting, was\ninclined to disagree, and thought the\nsecretary looked rather well.', Said\nTsen, \"I think he looks quite ill. I'm\nafraid he's going to die.\" and^ there\"\ntlio matter' rested for a while. But\none night Tsen could not sleep. The\nwily old archbishop' had \"got the better of.him again, and so he left bis\nbed,'called some members of his retinue, and went down to his lieutenant's houso.' The, poor secretary was\nawakened, and decapitated almost before ho had ceased rubbing his eyes.\nThen Tsen went home* and slept.\nTsen's wife and sou both committed\nsuicide as a result of his ferocity.' \"\ntacular explosion will take place, before the.\" president.

' y\n. The main bulwarks of freedom in\nthe past'have been the common sense,\nself-reliance, discipline and probity of\nthe people. To destroy these, an incessant and systematic campaign has\nbeen waged by the Socialist leaders.\n,We would remind the public of some\nof the features of that campaign:\u00E2\u0080\u0094 .\n1. The Crown has been threatened\nand the\"Monarch Insulted.\n; 2. The House of Lords has been misrepresented and ridiculed; judges, for\nthe fearless performance of duty, have\nbeen attacked on the platform, and in\nthe-press; efforts have-been made to\npack quarter and > petty sessions with\nSocialist J. P.'s. .\n. 3. Boards of bureaucrats, from whom\nthere is'to be no appeal,'have in some\ncases, been substituted for the courts\nof justice. '-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0''\u00E2\u0080\u00A2;-,\n4.'

The funds and administration of\ntrade unions'have been captured by\nthe Socialist conspirators, and. men,\nhave been expelled from the unions\ntor opposing the. Socialist policy.\n8. Attempts have been made to stir\nap mutiny in our Army and Navy.\nWe have already successfully established twenty-five schools in different\nparts of the country, ykt least one\nhundred schools are necessary ln order to compete effectively with tlie\nSocialists, who hold 2,000 meetings per\nweok. , 7 ,\nIn this country thero are seven organizations, backed by a powerful\nPress, constantly spreading Socialism.\nOno of theso organizations alono expends ovor $G00,000 a year on lta activities.
