MONDAY, DEC. 14, IRB.

THE GOVERNMENT -

` AND IR- CHAMBERLAIN.

It has been objected that the Laurier Government his not been sympathetic as it ought to have been toward Mr. Cham- berlain’s proposals, and that having made a preference in favor of British goods as a free gift, asking nothing in return, there was last spring a threat made by our

Finance Minister thatif we are not pre- i sentiy granted some advantages for our _

products in the British market our pre- fvtvhtlel tarii! may be withdrawn. In rs-

fard to the dnt of these cbdections it may he observed that Mr. Chamberiain’s pre- posals as set before the British people are not omcial. He has put them forwardas a private member of the House and neither of the two political parties in the United Kingdom is committed to them. In this view of the cas_e it is diiilcnlt to see how our Government' could have taken any official notice of Mr. Chamter- lain’s movement. Iswili be time enough

Ito do so when his plans have been formu-

lated for approval or l‘0_'IB0ll0il 5.7 U10 British Parliament.

As to the second objection we cannot

think the course of the Laurier Govern- ment has been -more than partly con- sistent. It was-certainly insisted on the

part of the Government in 1897 that the tion with the the proceedings at the ‘ " " _ __ _ __ _ _ _ Drefefonce °°9¢¢d°° W U10 MOUIBI' Colonial Conference and the rather start- ,_ I, ` " _ j 7 . _ f _C _ _ 'C

that Hon. Mr.Slft'ln`s statement has clear- ed the ground, and we think it has done so to a certain extent. R ad in connec-

other ground can the threat of Mr. Fielding to abrogate the present pre ference, unless we are accorded preter- ential treatment by Britain, be explained.

What is of more consequence, however, is a recent statement by Hon. Mr. Slfton, delivered before the Canadian Club in

Ottawa, and which is the drst break of the policy of ministerial reticence on the subject of interimperiai preference since the Chamberlain movement began. Mr. Sifton implies that Sir Wilfrid Laurier made a definite oder on behalf of Canada at the Colonial Conference last year which is practically the basis of Mr. Chamber- lain's movement. That offer was that Canada would improve the exciting pre- ference of 33h per cent. by an additional

given in three diderent ways-by further reducing duties in favor of the United Kingdom, by raising the duties upon foreign imports, and by impolillii CBN!! on certain foreign imports now on the freelist. Hr. Sifton implies»that__the pro-

posals made at the Colonial Conference last year are still open, and that not only Canada, but Australia, New Zealand.

BOY’S IIIIRISTMS

Did you ever notice the enthusiasm with

which a little fellow hunts for pockets when

he puts on a new Suit, Reefer or Overcoat ?

Ever notice the satisfied smile that spreads

over his face when he has found them? Take

the hint?

Nothing so satisiies a boy on Christmas, as

to find himself the proud possessor of some-

thing new in the way of Clothing.

He’ll play with toys awhile and then throw

them aside, but he always struts around in

his new apparel.

Our holiday stock of Boys’ and Chi1drel;l’s

Clothing is now on display, and a more bril-

liant exhibit of styles never saw the inside of I _

a Clothing Store nor of any other store th_a_,t

gq carries Boys’ and Children’s apparel,

AN IMPORTANT MEETING- I

at the time that a second main

water pipe with an additional supply of water should be obtained' that new hose

took to remove the added insurance rates. _

conditional upon the removal of the extra insurance rate, and has complied with the demand of the Fire Underwriiers in' all

other matters excepting the fire alarm,:§_

whichit has been intimated,the latter are

willing to forego for the present, in con-

provemeuts in the fire protection service. The pointi to be considered at the meet;

ing are how to bring about afull accord be- tween the Underwriters and the City. It

seems highly desirable that the Under- . writers should be represented at the _ meeting and that a. strong effort shall be made to reach an agreement to restore the

normal and reasonable rate of insurance. '

It is estimated that the proposed in-

crease, psst and prospective, oi' 50 cents per $100 would amountto from $15,009, to$20,000 yearly. This is afserious matter

and the more so as the city has already incurred an outlay of between $50,007 :and $55,000 to provldethe new wells, water main, the repairs _of the reservoir and ‘improved dre protection ser~ vice. We hopeto seen large attendance `I at the meeting. The City Cduncil will

hold its regular meeting in the evening, and may be guided to a considerable extent bythe results of the public meeting in the afternoon. ,
