ZELLER EDITOR, Zueiorl, P.O FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15th., 1003, Chamberlain's Fiscal Scheme Outlined, sugar, with corresponding retia, tions upon cocoa and coffee, . -The, riet'results of these irnposi• tions and remissions would be that the town artizan's food would, ac- cording to the most elaborate calcu- lation, cost hint two pence half pen- ny (5 cents) less per week than it did at present, while that of the agricultural laborer would cost him two pence (four cents) less, but if, as be believed, a great part of the tax on food would be paid by the foreigner, there would be a reduc- tion in the costof food, both for the artisan and the agricultural laborer The loss to the exchequer he esti• rusted at £2.400.000. A moderate duty of 10 per cent. on manufactur- ed goods would give to the Exche- quer £9,000.000 a year, and he would make use of that for remission of taxes. The question was, what weulcl the colonies say? He believed they would treat generously any offer Great Britain might make. The Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, who recently left the Balfour Gov- ernment, in order that he might ':save, a free hand to advocate and ^promote a scheme of preference to the colonies, by introducing a meas- ure of protection against other nations, in order to accomplish his purpose, has outlined his policy for -'the purpose; in. a speech. delivered :.at Glasgow, Scotland, on the Gth of the•presentmonth. Until then, the Y:seta-changes sought to be intro- aluceflspy him, could only be guessed at, but now there is something tan- gible before the people. So far his proposals have not called forth any very enthusiastic support from the British people, (if we except the manufacturers, who stand to gain in the event of his success) and the aid fight between protectionists and 'tree -traders will again wax warm 'ars that country, for sometime to creme. England nowv stands ahhost -wholly alone, as a free -trade coun- try, and it remains to be seen whe- ther she will still keep her doors 1pen to every foreign nation who chooses to dump their slirphis pro- ductions on her shore, free of duty, ar shut then out, to sonic extent at least, by putting on sufficient duty to give the Colonies the desired pre- ference in her markets. That Mr. 'Chamberlain is working in the in- terest of the Colonies and a closer -o;onsolidation of the Empire, few in this county will attempt to deny, but the task which he has under- taken is a herculean one, and the end of the issue is by no means - lear to the best informed poltti- • -dans, especially as Premier Balfour and the present Chancellor of the Exchquer, Mr. Chamberlain's son. are known to entertain somewhat similar views, to the recently re- signed Colonial Secretary, who is. it is thought, Sent out to prepare the way for a complete change in the fiscal policy of the country. -- Following is the most importan t - Darts of the speech referred to above, condensed for HERALD read- er: Mr. Chamberlain stated. his fiscal plan briefly as follows ; He propos- ed to put a low duty, not exceeding '' shillings (40 cents) a quarter on -foreign conn, but none on corn from the British possessions. He proposed no tax on maize, partly because it formed the food. elf the very poorest among the pop - elation, and partly because it was raw material, as feeding stuff, "Fiddling while Rome Burned," An article in the September num- ber of " Our Dumb Animals," pub- lished in Boston,oriticising adverse- ly the Educational Convention, re- cently held in the same city—more particularly for what it not discuss than for what it did.—under the •above heading—brought out the following query from one of the profession, as well as excellent re- ply from the editor : Cattle for the North-West. Mr. F. W. Hodson Domixiiert Live Stock Commissioner, stays that et present -the trade in stockers between the older provinces and the North West. Territories is in a very unsatisfa.otory condition and many of those who have been ship- ping .young, oettle to the North West this season have been very much disappointed in the prices realized, Under date of. September 22nd, Mr. Chas.' W, Peterson, Secretary of the Territorial Live Stock Asso- ciations writes s --"Within the past week from fnnr hundred to six hundred stockers have reached Calgary eloneeind the demand here is absolutely nil. These people must either take their • stock else- wbero or lose hea.vily." There aro several reasons for this condition of affairs. Finished cattle have been selling at unpre- cedentedly low ]irises. It is stated on good authority that the entire .out-put.of one of the largest 'Much - es in Southern Alberta was sold at $32.50 per head, for three year old and four year old cattle. Natural; ly therefore, men that paid x+22.00 per head for yearlings two years ago and have sold them this season as three -year-olds for prices in the neighborhood of $32.00, are not anxious tq buy stockers this fall at anything like the prices prevailing for the last two or three years. A.gtain,wvinter food is scarcer than usual on the retches this fall ; and as a consequence many. of the cattlemen that usually purchase a number of stockers et this season of the year .have scarcely hay enough to carry their breeding stock through the winter. Another reason for the present unsatisfactory. • condition of the stocker trade,not only in the North West but :also in the older pro- vinces, is the poor quality of a large number of the young cattle that have been placed on the mar- ket the last few years. Many of these wore as far from the right kind of raw materiel from which to make finished beef a:, they well . nnldl be. Durine a period of hif;h prices, markets are not so diserint- inatine in the quality of the goods offered. but when prices are low, nmrkets are more sensitive: they are more easily overstocked; buy- ers are' .more careful in making their selections: and it becomes tt case of the survival of the fittest only. A hili class product of any lr ind will always command a fair price ; snit on a depressed m'trket inferior stuff niust be sacrificed at prices far. below the cost of produc- tion, The ranchers have also discover- ed that they must; be ntro•e careful ie the selection of their bulls than heretofore, anti Ontario breeders will do von to make a note of this. During recent years every brill -calf that was ell_*able for registration was saved With a view to selling him at sonie sort of price for the ranches; but the ranchers have discovered that they must pay more attention to quality- and breeding, and that first class bulls aro cheaper at a good price than registered scrubs as n. gift. It is safe to predict that in a very short time it will not be 'possible to sell inferior bulls to the, ranchers at any price. " You make a pretty severe at- tack en the great educational con- vention of teachers recently held in Boston—namely, that they said not a word about humane education which you regard as " a hundred times more important to the future of our country than any subject that convention considered.'' — Please tell me precisely what you would have teachers teach on this subject ? Answer.—Everything that will tend to prevent cruelty and crime —everything that will tend. to stop wars, riots, strikes, and conflicts between capital and labour --every- thing that will make the chaldron of. the rich kine e~ to the poor, and the children of the poor kinder to the rich—everything; that will tend to relieve both human and animal suf- fering, and make this world of ours a happier one for all living beings, both human and dumb. Education of intellect without education of heart is a curse, leading to wars, dishonesty, corruption and crime. Poisonous adulterations of our foods, drinks and medicines are bad enough, but poisonous adulteration of a. nation's life is infinitely worse. Our country is full of wrongs to- day for which the perrnanent rem- edy cern only come through a proper humane education in our higher institutions of learning and in our huialred thousand public and pri- vate schools. We should have professors of, or lecturers on, humanity in all our colleges, and humane educa- tion of teachers in all our public and private schools. To the older classes great facts in the world's semi -barbaric history should be made familiar—to the younger, pictures, songs, stories. illustrations—humane books wnd papers, and t' Bands of Mercy" to aid in promoting the objects of our American Humane Educational So- eiety, " Glory to God," " Peace on Earth." " Itindness, justice and mercy to every living creature."
