FREE TRADE.
FREE TRADE. BETTER THAN EVER. THE Blue Book issued last week has given Mr. CHAMBERLAIN'S crusade against Free Trade a most crushing blow. This official document shows that British trade, instead of being ruined for want of Protection, is more flourishing than ever. The returns published by the Custom House officials on Thursday are far more eloquent, reliable, and convincing than all the manufactured jeremiads of Birmingham. The figures for last year beat all records, the exports reach- ing the extraordinary total of £ 290,890,000. Imports also beat the record, reaching X543,000,000, while re-exports amounted to nearly £ 70,000,000. This means a total sea-borne trade of £ 903,000,000. So far from decreasing the exports of manu- factured goods increased last year by £ 7,000,000, while the imports only increased by X2,000,000 And what can be said of the total is true also of all those separate industries whose decline Mr. CHAMBERLAIN has proclaimed to the world. The iron and steel trade has advanced, wool has advanced, cotton is in the same category, so is leather, so is cutlery, so is every trade over which Mr. CHAMBERLAIN has lifted up his dolorous voice. The year of this modern Jeremiad was indeed, as it happens, the most prosper- ous of all the years of our extraodinary prosperity. Even 1872, the era of great war inflation chosen by Mr. CHAKBERUI J for his comparisons, was put in the shade- The exports in 1872 were £ 256,000,000 in 1903 they were £ 287,000,000. If, unlike Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, we choose to be fair, and take an ordinary year for comparison, like 1870, the most prosperous up to that time, we find an increase from X200,000,000 to £ 287,000,000. If we go a little further back, to 1863, we have this astonishing result, that in forty years of Free Trade the exports have doubled. There is, indeed, one item in the returns which cannot be regarded with satisfaction, and that is the large increase in the imports of grain and flour-an increase of 15 millions in two years. If our own fields were fully tilled, if British agriculture were booming like British industry, we should have no reason to complain. But the British soil is crying out for workers, and gets fewer of them every year. Every year we grow less corn; every year more land is abandoned to per- manent pasture. This is not due to the absence of Protection. Denmark is a Free Trade country so far as her agriculture is concerned, yet she pours millions of dairy products on these shores. And in rich Britain, with her foreign trade of 900 millions a year, there are scores of villages where there are no homes fit for labouring folk to live in,and thousands where the lodging is pitifully below the people's rational needs. In this connection we note with pleasure that Mr LLOYD-GEORGE, at the dinner given him by the New Reform Club last week, insisted that a mere negative answer to Mr CHAMBERLAIN would not do, that it would stamp the Liberal Party with a kind of Con- servatism fatal to its future. Mr LLOYD- GEORGE said there was not the slightest doubt that the country was face to face with one of the most serious dangers that had confronted it during living memory, and h doubted if the country realised it. Mr CHAMBERLAIN had started on a campaign which was full of the greatest peril, not only to the country, but to humanity, and it needed all the determination of the friends of freedom and progress fight the ex- Colonial Secretary and his allies in the coming contests. What were the proposals ? Here they had a wholesale, searching, and insidious appeal to human selfishness. The publican was appealed to, the priest was appealed to; in fact, a wholesale appeal was made to the cupidity and greed of every class throughout the country. He went to the farmer and said, Your profits will be increased by 10 per cent. It matters not a bit that this will make a difference in the cost of living to the poorer classes of the community." He went to the workmen ,LmJ said their wages would be improved, and to the manufacturers and said their profits woul l be eiwancel. But was it so? c Protection meant tl<at great capitalists would increase t- eir at the expense of the working man fUi( -it the cost of tJle gei<u.j °.. community.

namui r bbimimi ii hi— ■—iia CARDIGANSHIRE CHIEF CONSTABLESHIP. Central Vetoism. A QUESTIONABLE EXERCISE OF PERSONAL POWER. WHAT THE ORGAN OF THE BRITISH CONSTABULARY SAYS. ? WE learn that the HOME SECRETARY has declined to reconsider his refusal to confirm the appointment of Sergeant and Chief-clerk RICXARD JONES, as Chief Constable for Cardiganshire. The ground of the refusal was the opinion of the HOME SECKKTART that so responsible a position could not be adequately filled by an Officer who. had previously occupied no higher position than that of Serieant and Clerk. The Home Office con- veniently drops the word Chief." The inference is that the eligibility of a nan is settled at the Home Office by titular rank, without any regard to his individual character, experience and proved qualifica- tions. What, we would ask, apart from title er efficq, are the qualifications for which the r Home Office would stipulate ? The appoint- ment of Chief Constables with army or navy rank, without a day's experience of police duties, over the heads of well-qualified Officers of Police, has been constantly approved. Indeed, rank has been the- rule in county appointments, and experience has been the exception. Relationship to some county family of wealth and influence has also been approved as a qualifying credential, where there has been neither arms navy, nor Police experience. On what principle, then, it must be asked, can the rejection of a Sergeant and Chief Clerk be justified ? The suggestion that he lacks the necessary experience would be a subterfuge. Mr. RICHARD JONES has been over twelve year. in the service, after a brilliant scholastic record, and that surely ought to count as against the prevalent appointments of men without any Police experience whatever. The only other plea is that there is a higher rank in the Force, and that the appointment of a Sergeant, also performing the duties of an Inspector, would be to give Mr. JOND two steps up the ladder at one bound. There can be no invidious preference or unfairness in such an appointment, in com- parison with bringing in a.n outsider who jumps straightway over the heads of hundreds of qualified men of long service. The simple fact i* that Cardiganshire, in trying to do impartial justice, has run the plough-share of human progress against the half-buried stump of class preference and prejudice, and there is thus raised a great question of principle of vital importance to representative government and the reward of merit. We repeat that the objection to Sergeaat JONES S rank is sheer technicalism. Truly —Mr. JONES is a sergeant by title; but he is also a Chief Clerk. It is well known.at th e Home Office that a Chief Clerk is, in many instances, the man of the whole Force in whom the Chief Constable moat strongly confides. Indeed, in the ofticiallist he ranks next to the Chief Constable. The accident of Mr. JONES not being a Superintendent is due to the fact that it is not customary to reduce or dismiss a well-conducted Officer in order to put another in his place, even though the available man might be the ablest and best qualified to be found, not only in one, but in a score of Forces. No one can read the sketch of Mr. JONES'S career, peblished in our issue of December 11th, 1903, without concluding that he does possess remarkable qualifications of experi- ence, intelligence, educational attainments, industry, uprightness and tact. That sketch does not deal in complimerts; it recites impartial history and facts. It is significant that Mr. JONES s rejection is at the instance of the non-elected section ef the local authority the Magisterial coterie of the County Police Committee. Ihis is significant of class prejudice, and it is regrettable that Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS should become a partisan of the non-representative champions of exclusivism. The incident thus assumes national Parliamentary importance, and we hope the subject will b. fully ventilated in the House of Commons on the earliest possible day. The advocates for a fair field and no favour have a good case; and if they cannot break down the party majority to which Mr AKERS DOUGLAS can appeal for support, they may at least illustrate a great principle of local representative government, and frame the way for an early vindication of the principle involved. — Police Review, January 8th, 1904.
