MR BALFOUR ON FREE TRADE.

LONDON, 16th Septembar. Mr. Balfour, in a pamphlot on Insular Free Trade, says the fiscal reformers fifty years ago failed to sea that the world would reject free trade. He admits the increase of British trade, bat denies ita proportionate growth to wealth and population. He recognizes the great ovils of protection, and that we are bound to sock some mitigation of the evils thereof; the only way being by negotiation instead of appealing to theories in which foreign nations did not batioro. We must use fiscal inducements which wo thoroughly understand, and our first, and most essential object should be to rid oumolves of the bonds in which we had gratuitonsly entangled ourselves." "The precise manner of then using our regained liberty must be the econdary issue.

Most of the newspapers consider that Mr. Balfour's pamphlet on Fres Trade shows that bo is committed to retaliation against hostile tariffs. Some expect the result will be the resignation of the Free Trade Ministers. The attitude of Mr. Chamberlain la view of the pamphlet is much discussed; it is not believed that he will resign merely because Mr. Balfour ignores the question of preferential trade, but rather that he will be content to await develop ments without forcing an issus.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

TO THE EDITOE OF THE "DAILY PRESS.”

Hongkong, 18th September. SIR, May I add yet another claim to the protection of our "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" in the shape of a plex for the much maligned bat useful cat. The num- ber of these animals that are daily set adrift through sheer carelessness of their owners is o large one, and as an instance, I may mention that I have for home weeks past fed a Biamese tabby, which is still unclaimed ? Trao it is that Pussy has a penchant for ransacking the contente of meat-eafos at times, and at cortaîn seasons of the year when in quest of a mate, abe advertises the fact in torms more foroible than onleuring, but after all, she sius no more in this respect than the rest of her sex. Takon all round, and given proper treatment, Pussy is beyond doubt a valanblo adjunct to every household, and as such possesses strong claims

to be looked after.

By the way, in speaking of cruelty, do the malarial mosquito and the plagas-infected rat (let alono buge) come in for any consideration at all? It is high time that something should be done to check Garernmental abuse of this sort once and forever-anything more idiotic it would be difficult to imagine-Youra, stc.,
