CIIAMBERLAINISM vs. LAURIERISM
The old Manchester school of politicians was all power-
ful in its day. It was the outcome of the rise ofthe middle
classes to political power in Britain, in England more par-
ticularly. Up till 1830 the middle classes in England had
practically no say in the government of the country.
They then made their voices heard and influence felt. The
middle classes in Britain represent, for the most part the
mlddlemen in business, the nien who make their living
by purchasing the products of the factory and re-selling
thi-in to the retail shop-keepers. So long as the markets
of a. country are protected the middleman is restricted to
a. legitimate percentage of profit. Labour demands a fair
wage and the consumer will not pay more than he can
afford, or at all events buy more than he can afford, and so
prices are kept reasonably moderate, commensurate with
the just remuneration of labour. The Manchester school
of politicians set themselves the task of cutting the price
ot' labour, and the only way they could do so successfully
was to bring in the products of foreign labour, and this
was done through unrestricted importations into Great
Britain of the surplus products of foreign manufactorles.
The niitldlcineii in Great Britain have prospered and waxed
mighty as the result of this policy. All the millionaires
nearly of the last fifty years have been mlddlemen who
bought in the cheapest market and sold in the dearest.
Many of the British industries have gone to the wall be-
cause of the encouragement of cheap foreign-made goods.
and Germany gained the financial strength she enjoyed
through protecting her own workingmen's labour while
iintlcrsellliig the labour of the British workingman. One
of tht- outcomes of the war will he to bring 'the British
workinginuii liito his own, to du away ,practically for ever.
with unrestricted free trade, and to substitute therefor
fair trade on a basis of- tariff reform. That is assured.
t‘obdenisni is on its deathbed and will not survive the
war. Mr. Joseph (ihamberliiin was the prophet of the new
scliool of tariff reform, and his prediction will as assuredly
come true as his prediction of the action of the British
lioniinions in the event ofa great war such as the present.
in n speech delivered in West Birmingham, his old con-
stitiit-iicy, in 1003, he made this prediction concerning the
probable action in future lniperial wars:
"What is the meaning of an Empire?
What does _it mean to us? We have had a
war-the Boer war--in which the majority of-
our children abroad had no apparent direct ln-
tereat. We had no hold over them, no agree-
ment with them of any kind; and yet at one"
time during this war, by their voluntary dc-
cision, at least 50,000 Colonial soldiers were
standing shoulder to shoulder with British
troops, displaying a gallantry equal to their
own and the keenest intelligence. It is some-
thing for a beginner; and ifthis country were
in danger-I mean if we were, as our fore-
fathers were, face to face some day, which
forefend, with some great coalition of hostile
nations, when we had, with our hacks to th¢
wall, to struggle for our very livcs~it is my
firm conviction that there ls nothing within
the power of these self-governing colonies they
would not do to come to our aid. I believe
their resources in men and money would be
at the disposal of the Mother Country ln such
an event."
Contrast this striking prophecy, which has been
fulfilled to the letter, with Sir Wllfrid'.s shabby attitude
at the imperial tlonference of 1911. Some of the Colonial
representatives there were expressing regret that the Col-
onies had- not been consulted as to the so-called Declara-
tion of London dealing with the rules of maritime war-
fare, when Sir Wilfrid rope and declared that the Qomin-
ion did not wish to he consulted inasmuch “as we have
taken the position in (‘nnada that we do not think we are
bound to take part in every war, hence our fleet may not
be called upon in all cases." A writer in the Year Book
of 1912, issued by the London Daily Mail, said of this as-
tonishing outburst: “This was the first occasion on
which a (‘olonial Prime Minister had proclaimed the doc-
trine of Colonial neutrality-which inevitably means sep-
aration-from such n platform as that of an Imperial (Yo_n_-
forence." And it will probably be the last. Obviously Mr.
Chamberlain was better acquainted than Sir Wilfrid with
(‘olonlal sentiment on matters of Imperial defence.

HOSPITAL FESTIVAL
This afternoon the public will have an opportunity of
inspecting thc new wing of the Prince Edward Island llos-
pital, recently opened and a detailed description of which
was given hi a recent issue of The Guardian. They will
also have nn opportunity of patronizing the strawberry
ft-stlval that is being held in aid of the hospital funds and
thus helping to maintain an institution of which tim whole
province has good cause to feel proud. Those who have
had the privilege of seeing the hospital in its remodelled
and renewed form and of comparing it with similarln-
stltutlons elsewhere, have unhesitatingly expressed the
opinion that for equipment, modern and up-to~dat.e ap~
pliances the Prince Edward island Hospital has no superior
in Canada. Our citizens naturally feel proud of such an
institution and we have no doubt will show their interest
and their pride by attending the festival this afternoon.
Apart from this help to the institution the festival in itself
will he a most enjoyable one. The Ladies' Aid, who have
the arrangements in charge are determined to make it the
pleasantcst outing of the season and they will undoubtedly
N0 FURS FROM RUSSIA
Siberia is one of the great fur-producing areas oi' the
world. The Russian-Siberian fairs are fur marts that have
an extensive importance to the London ful* trade. One-
thlrd or oiie-fourth at least of the finer kinds of fur come
from Russia. The order of the Russian Government pro- '
hibitlng the‘ export of furs has-come, therefore, as a dis- t
tlnct shock to the London auction houses.
‘The Russian Government is apparently figuring on
having to equip millions of troops tor another severe win-
ter campaign. its furs are to be retained at home for that
purpose. `
incidentally, the action of the Russian Government will
bring considerable relief to the Indians and fur-trappers
of our own Northwest who were almost starving last year
because they had no market for their catch. The Hud-
§on'a Bay Company, one of the largest dealers in fur-pelts,
was unable to dispose of the Northwest production be-
cause ofthe upset state of the London market. Indeed,
the upset in the fur business caused by the war extended
from the purchasing public right through to the hardy
trapper. The great London auctions that determine the
fur prices of the world, are held in January, March, June,
October and December. The latter is the annual seal sale.
The March sale is much the most important.
The financial conditions induced by the war may work
against much improvement in the public demand for furs
for the time being, but the war is causing a. shortage in
the production for public purposes that sooner or later will
he felt in the retail fur store.--Toronto Mail and Empire.
THE RUNAWAY PATRIOT
As was to be anticipated the “psuedo-Patriot" has
taken to its heels again. We seconded Tile Watchman’s
challenge to our elusive Contemporary to go and prove
for itself whether its charges in connection with the stor-
age oi oats were founded on fact. It declines to do so
nnd says it would be absurd for the Editor of The Patriot
to visit the warehouse “to see If one grain of oats had
been devoured by rats.” EXACTLY. Another nail in the
Patriot’s coffin.
The Elusive Patriot has discovered another mare's
nest. It is really astonishing the amount of time The
Patriot has at its disposal for Pickwickian research. And
when investigated the discoveries turn out to have as
much foundation as the hiéroglyphics of Mr. Pickwick.
its latest "horful hexample” ot' the Government's alleged
laxity is the Auditor's summary of the Summer School ex-
penditure. It cites the names of two professors wiio re-
ceived salaries and vents its indignation that the names
and amounts paid to the others and the teachers as welll
were not given.
The Patriot knows, or should know, the reason just as
'well as we do. The Patriot machine had a special com~
missioner employed on it fishing expedition during the last
session of the Legislature, and if he did not obtain the
detailed expenditure on the Summer School, then it must
have been the only itemized expenditure he did not ob-
tain. The whole of,tlie certified expenditure was, and is,
at 'the disposal of any meuiber of the Legislature, and
through him of The Patriot or any other enquiring mind.
The Summer School consists of three or four hundred Is-
land teachers, each of whom receives payment and gives
receipt. Does The Patriot desire to have the name of
each of the three or four hundred teachers printed in the
summary? The Summer School is carried on by a joint
committee, of which Mr. J. D. Seaman is Secretary. Mr.
have to be paid prepares ti detailed account of tliifexpeiitli-
ture, has it approved by the tfommititee, and when the bills
have to be paid prepares a detailed account of th expendi-
ture, lias it certified by the Committee, presented to the
Auditor, who examines it, and when correct, passes same,
making out the cheque for the whole amount in the name.
of Mr. Seaman, who makes the disbursement.
Last year two instructors were engaged for two mouths
in connection with the Special Course for School inspec-
tors, hence their names appenring separately from the
others.
Of course, The Patriot knows this. mid if it does not,
it does not faithfully discharge the duly for which it is
paid. It is taking its subscriptions under false pretences
and making The Guardian do the work of enlightening it.
Liu-t this we do not mind a bit. We rather enjoy the plen-
stire of' every other day imparting a. little more informa-
tion to our Contemporay, and incidentally to the public
which, however, has more confidence in Mr. Seaman's
honesty and integrity than it has in The Patriot. The
l’atrlot's hunts after financial information are pretty much

In response to the British Government‘s call for money
to carry on the war some .£600,000,000 ($3,000,000,000) has
been put at its disposal by the public. This, according to
the latest statements will keep the army, navy and needy
Allies going for about two hundred days. Those who talk
