I TWO IK' J.4 i NEW BALFOUR APPEALS FOR FISCAL REFORM British Premier Says Free Trade Is an Empty "Name. POWER TO RETALIATE NEEDED fcnmsnje Audience 'at Sheffield Loudly Cheers the Prime Minister and Passes a Vote of Confidence in the Government LONDOX, Oct. 2. Before a mm meeting si Sheffield last night in connection with the conference of the National Union of Conservative Associations Premier Balfour delivered the speech that bad been Ion heralded as the first heavy grin to be fired la the fiscal reform campaign which Is absorbing the attention of the United Kingdom, the British colonies, and. Indeed, the whole world, which has caused the present British Cabinet trials, the result of which It is Impossible to foretell.

Mr. Balfonr, In the course of bis speech, did not even bint at the successors in the jCabinet to Mr. Chamberlain, Lord George Hamilton, and Mr. Ritchie, In 'fact, he did not mention the Ministerial resignations. Ignoring altogether that phase of the Situation on which it was expected that he would make some declaration.

Premier confined himself strictly to the tariff Question, and bis speech was to a large extent a repetition of the arguments contained in his recent pamphlet. AX AUDIENCE OP FIVE THOUSAND. Last night's meeting was held In Artillery Drill HalL which -eas the largest auditorium available. Fully 5.000 persons gatbergd in the ball long before 8 o'clock, the hour at which Mr. Balfour was announced to speak, and perhaps as many more who were unable to get in attended sn overflow meeting In Albert HalL In addition thousands who could not be accommodated at either meeting stood outside in the rain.

Joining those' inside the halls in patriotic songs and cheering the names of the party leaders. Mr. Balfour, who was accompanied by a number of prominent men. Including the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Hugh Cecil. Winston Churchill, M.

Viscount Gos-then. and F. W. Lowe, M- (Chairman of the Council of the. Union.) entered the ball a few minutes before 8 and was received enthusiastically.

The Earl of Derby presided in the absence of the Duke of Norfolk who Is indisposed. Lord Derby ln-frodoced Mr. Balfour in a brief speech. The Premier. on- rising; at 8:03" P.

Sf, was greeted wltlvjrepeated rounds of cheers. He began with the statement that. be knew the audience wanted to hear his views fiscal reform, be would deal with that subject alone, not introducing airy alien themes -What is it." the Premier asked. that has brought-this toplo into- exceptional prominence? There are those who would sttribute the importance it, has attained to that great speech delivered by a great man. Mr.

Chamberlain, in May last, but something more is required to account for phenomenon unparalleled in the expert-' ence of any man I am now addressing." Mr. Balfour attributed this prominence to the facts that the country was In eUwer touch with the colonics as a result of the late war: that representative Ministers in the colonies had brought before the empire the question of tariff reform, and that for a long time prior to the development cf the present controversy there had besn great uneasiness among aU parties as. to the condition of British trade in relation to the trade of the world. Mr. Chamberlain's speecn.

said the Premier, would not have ha 3 the effect it did if tt bad not fallen on prepared ground, and if effort to give preference to the mother country Jiad not brought out threats from at least one foreign country of retaliation. This had brought home to many minds the helplessness of Great Britain under such circumstances to meet a situation so unexpected and so dangerous. COBDEXITES' VAIN PROPHECIES. The last sixty years, continued Mr. BaV-.

four, had been filled with refutations of the t. prophecies made by the great tariff reforra- ers. He believed that the reforms of 1S44 were necessary at that time, but every yjar of the last thirty had contradicted the prophecies of the reformers. The Premier paid a tribute to Cobden. who.

be raid. bud an Ideal, but who did not foresee the eevelopment of the last half century, had made free trade an empty name ana a vain force, For fifty years England, without making a sign, had watched the wan of hostile tariffs growing up and dividing- nation from nation. "And our own colonies, our own- flesh and blood, the very sinews of the grow Ing empire." proceeded Mr. Balfour, "are building up a system of protection which, when It reaches Its logical conclusion, wiil inake It as hard to export to them as to America or the other protective countries. And during the whole.

lifetime of those I am now addressing we have done nothing whatever to hinder a state of things so ab- splutely Inconsistent with free trade as Cobden understood It. I ought to make one exception. One great and successful ef- fort was made by Cobden himself when he negotiated a commercial -treaty with France in lyjj. When I consider that treaty I ask myself whether Cobden was indeed a Detailing the history of this Mr. Balfour contended that Cobden and Glad-.

stone tn negotiating; it intended to offer of taxation, in return for wht'-h protectionist France was to make certain trading- concessions, and falling those con. cessions the taxes were to be retained. lit continued: consider that there Is absolutely no difference between retaining a tax for diplomatic purposes, which you would otherwise repeal, and Importnar a tax which you wouli otherwise not impose for carrying out the same object. I confess that 'hen 1 hear criticisms upon American and Herman policy, which caused those great industrial nations to accompany their marvelous commercial expansion with 'protective duties, which must have thrown a most heavy burden upon the consumer, I INDEX TO DEPARTMENTS.

They may well say that although protectionist they have es- tabltshed permanent free trade within the limits of their own countries, where everything which can hamper production or limit the increase of I wealth has been abolished by their patriotism and foresight, and they may well ask us whether we in the BriUsh Empire can point to a similar picture, and wbether our vaunted free trade includes these great self-governing colonies which we proudly boast are Jo be the great buttresses of our; empire in the future. i "Free trade ir Indeed an empty name and a vain force it it is a fact that: foreign nations are setting themselves td divert our Industries, exclude lour manufactures, and limit the international play of supply and demand.

-ill ''There has beenj a development of whtch Cobden and his contemporaries never dreamed the development of the system under protection. The phenomenon is so new that I dare scarce venture to prophesy what development it is likely to take, but you may be absolutely sure that In the alliance of trusts and tariffs there Is a danger to the capital and enterprise of this country which acts and reacts net mainly upon the -capitalist, for he is at liberty to go to those i regions where his industry will be looked after, butj it will tail with Its heavlestj weight upon the artisan and the labor classes, which are Incapable of protecting their Interests against such a calamity, NO CURE, 1 PALLIATION. Now. If have hWy described the dangers and evils 'we suffer, y.ou are entitled to ask ma whether I know of a cure. My answer will be disappointing.

1 knov, of no cure, but I do! know of a palliation. The ill bas gone too You will jnot get the 'great commercial nations of the world to abandon protection, tear that you will not get the great; self-governlng colonies to retrace, the steps which we without remonstrance permitted them to take I am here, therefore, to! recommend a palliation which I believe to be still possible, i Cobdea hoped and believed in free trade throughout the world. What, in fact, we have got to deal I with! is a world; where International commercial relations are regulated entirely I treaty. Is It common sense that we. the greatest commercial nation, should come forward and say, We want to arrange treaties with you, but we have nothing to give you, nothing to withhold from you.

We ithrow ourselves upon your mercy and consideration. Please remember how good we i are to your commerce, bow we throw no impediment in its way, and how we do- all we can for you, and please don't forget us when you are making your next treaty Laughter.) Are the negotiations between nations which have to deal with duties upon! manufactured goods different from otheB negotiations carried on for ether purposes? Did any man ever, bear- of successful negotiations without a nation having something to give which In case of necessity it might withhold My fundamental and essential request to you to-night, to which the rest of my speech is subsidiary and accidental, is that the people of this country ishould give to Its Government that freedom! of negotiation of which we have been deprived, not by force of circumstances or by flm pressure of foreign powers, but by: something I can only describe as our own pedantry and self-conceit. "i Proceeding to deal with the question asked as to how the freedom he desired was to be used, Mr. Balfour thought that the question was rather unreasonable. No Minister, he remarked, could say hqw the navy was going ta be used in a few! years hence.

One could i only, say It was 'necessary to have a great navy In case of meed, my continued th Premier. it Is equally necessary that this country should have command of these instruments of negotiation for which I am leading. The German States Illustrate ow a fiscal union preceded and strengthened a political union, but so far as -our colonies are concerned we have been content to see fiscal divisions growing up which no man of sober judgment can contemplate without -1 FOOD TAX IMPRACTICABLE. Mr.) Balfour was a most important and difficult branch of tbe problem. Though he believed jtbatj-the eyUs fthe taxation of food bad been exaggerated beyond what reason land logic justified, still he thought that public opinion was not yet ripe for the taxaUoi of (food.

Therefore, as an adviser of algiit party, was bound to tell them! pSalnli that It was outside the limits of practical politics. He was not anticipating generii tariff war. but he considered might inform any foreign country that we. thought was treating us with outrageous unfairness that Unless they modified their policy we should take certain steps with regard to certain articles exported by thran." I i Concerning the question as to whether it was intended to reverse the verdict in the great case of Free (Trade Vs. Protection of 1846.

Mr. Balfour said hU answer, was that the controversy jof 1846 was of no Interest to the present generation and "as utterly Inappropriate i to 1903, "Our fought the battle in view of the actual situation. I ask 'the naUon to-dar to follow their example and not be misled by-rtusty debates. The second question is: Do! you desire to reverse and alter the fundamental fiscal tradition which has prevailed Jtor two gentrations? My answer is: "Yes, I do Loud cheers. The Premier said he proposed to ask the country to reverse, annul, and altogether delete from Its maxims of public conduct that it must never impose taxauoa except for revenue, In his Judgment the country ought never ito have stood self-deprived of that liberty, and it should tpub-ficly resume in the face of Europe and the world the liberty of which It deprived Itself the liberty which every other country In the world possessed and of which no fcoun-try would deprive iltself.

the liberty of negotiating and also of having something to negotiate with. To the next -question, why they should want to resume this liberty, seeing; how well the country had prospered without it, the Premier said he vojild reply: "My object is to mitigate to the upmost the 'injury done us by hostile tariffs. I The proposed remedy Willi not be complete seven If tried in Its integrity, because I believe the country will not tolerate a tax on food; but undoubtedly it wlU be useful." i vc- via tfs.il. mH ie had been asked to give a lead, and the request -was reasomible. and the request -was reasonitbie.

howeveri unworthy of his Wirty, I it, and ioi long as he held (that ie meant! to lead.

In that faith and in that belief he recommended it to their favorable consideration.

Vr Baifour sat down amid loud and prolonged cheers. A vote Of confidence Ins the Ministery was adopted unanimously. The -Premier afterward addressed the overflow meeting. i I LONDON PRESS I DISSATISFIED. Conservative and Radical Papers Critl- else -the Premier's Speech for Different Reasons.

LOXDOX. Oct. i-Ht is evident that Mr, ukxrr- sueech bas utte failed to Sat IStr the press of either party. The burden cf an the editorial comment this morning 'is that In spite of "the i enthusiasm evoked at Sheffield the Speech leaves the qses tlon exactly where; it was left -by the Premier's recent pamphlet! The greatest jiis-appomtment Is expressed on. all sides! at Mr Balfour's failure, to touch on the Cabinet crisis or.

Oct. i. a persistent rumor pervaded! the financial district here to-day that'J. William Middendorf Co. of this city and (John L.

Messrs.

Williams gon of Richmond. and J. William Middendorf tt of Baltimore, have found ft necessary to ask temporary indul-sTZr of their creditors. Lv Tne undersigned have, at the request of these two firms, consented to act as an advisory committee to examine into their con. "on and promptly report an appropriate plan of extension.

The committee will proceed to the Immediate performance of. this duty. In the meanwhile, they, believe it to be to the Interest of all concerned that -no legal or other steps be taken by Individual creditors to complicate the situation, but that the present status shall in all resists be maintained fcr common protection and benefit. i i The Shove firms eatlrnat that their assets Inventoried -t current quotations, their liabilities by a very large amount, which will be naturally augmented by tbe restoration of normal conditions.

member thereof, is indebted to that company, and that the i Seaboard Air Una Railway will be In no wise affected by tbe action of their respective firms in this matter." 1 This -statement is signed by Douglas TL Thomas.

Trenton, N. J. i John. Skelton Williams, who was in Baltimore to-night, raid that the action taken was occasioned by the inability of the two firms mentioned above to collect large sums of money due them, and to realise on securities in the present disturbed money, markets. "The value of my firm's assets." said Mr.

Wlllams. is greatly in excess of all liabilities of. every kind, and the present difficulties will be only temporary. None of the companies la which my firm and Mr. Middendorf's are largely interested, or with which members of these firms are officially connected, will be affected In any way by the action taken today.

Russell has abandoned the Puslon cause and gone to the support of those whom he accused. Mr. George refers to the further inquiry undertaken by. Mr. Grout -into the matter of the leasing of choice dock property, and the report made during Mr.

Grout's absence abroad exonerating the Murphy Board. When 'the worthlessness of lbs investigation, owing to I the character ot the man appointed to make It, had been exposed, he says Mr. Grout's deputy ordered a new Investigation, which was and the result handed to Mr. Grout "Why," asks Mr. George, "has it hot been made public?" He continues: I can draw but one conclusion from what seems to me to be the shameless act of treason ot which Mr.

Grout has been guilty. As a raadi-dais of the Fusion forces against Tammany Mr. Grout intended to do hi full duty to the public by. disclosing the cvrrapt relations ot tbe Tammany Dock Board. The cunning and trickery of Murphy have prevented this re-, suit by- the bribe of a nomination to Mr.

Ureut. The supreme Issue of this campaign Is to keep the gratters out of the City Government. Decent citlsens must unite tor this purpose. At the first hostile i mention of Mr. Grout's name there- was an outburst I of mingled cheering and hisses.

Mr. Coakley supplemented his reading! by saying that he and the rest ot Mr.

George's followers were glad, now to second Mn Sulzberger's nomination, but be suggested that "in case of any future deliberations looking toward changes In the ticket the City Committee should consider the advisability of placing under the Cltlsens' Union emblem the name of a man close to the laboring classes, who would aid us to Victory at the polls." Mr Cohen. Coroner Goldenkrans, and Julius Biumberg also seconded tbe nomination, and after the, vote had been taken the conventioned adjourned. GRUBER HITS CITIZENS'. UNION.
