The way to spoil children is to give them what they cry for, and it would appear that the best way to enrage Tari Reformers is to give them what they demand. A most amusing outery is now going on in the news- papers, headed by the Evening Standard and the Daily Express, for the abolition of the restrictions now in force on the import of paper: Need-

with these restrictions. They limit. the production of book and papers, raise the price of knowledge-to: the public, and cause wides read unemployment. în the printing trade, all in order to confer a very doubtful benefit on a few paper manufacturers. But why should we strain our voice in the accents of wrath when those who are as much. as anyone else responsible for the paper restrictions are willing to shout themselves hoarse on our behalf? The good man will never swear- when someone else will do his swear- ing for him..

We prefer to lie low and enjoy the spectacle. We like to see the Expresa warning Mr. Law that "his own fiscal- policy will be strangled at birth if he hesitatea to act now. The staunchest Tariff Reformers "-Surely these are the proprietors of the Daily Express themselves are already muttering that if this is the sort of thing which is to go on under Protection they want none of it." We are glad to find the Evening Standard realising that increased prices mean less trade and more cremployment, no "work for all," as used to be the cry, end having it brought home by painful experience that one man's manufac tured article is another's raw material The following extracts from the Standard's articles of April 29, and, indeed, the whole article, might have appeared in any Free Trade paper, with no loss except to the lover of humour:

"Before the paper duties were abolished there was no popular Press; books were extravagantly dear, and one of the main solaces of civilised life was denied the average man and woman. If the paper manu facturers can prevail with the Govern- ment, over which they have shown so far so extraordinary an influence, those conditions will be to a large extent reproduced.

"The paper maker warts the best of both worlds. He claims protection for his product, but demands that the pulp which he uses shall be imported free. But if pulp is the raw materiaj of the paper manufacturer, paper is the raw material of the printer and publisher. And the trades which consume paper are far greater employers of labour than the paper mills.

These people are "hoist with their own petard," but we have no wish to see the trade of the nation suffer with them. The paper trade is simply a typical example of the industry of England, which dependa, broadly speaking, an. the import of raw materials, like wood pulp, and semi-manufactured articles, like paper, which comes bere to be com- pletely manufactured. Hardly a shilling in the pound of our imports consists of fully manufactured goods. Restrictions in other trades will cause just as much damage as this, of which the Express and the Standard complain, only the victims will not enjoy, the eloquent support of the Tariff Reform Press.
