. This was 'Cione to the great jo,Y' of the Conservatives, whose press ,01'-brans cannot find words sufficient to applaud his courage and honesty. The press is or' the opinion that the party of many leaders will noW' find greater difficulty than ever in'dlscov-ering who is the real leader of the party.

The Dllily Chronicle hails Mr. As-quith as the true leader and calls upon Sir Henry CrunpbeU-Bannerman to declare with equal explicitness whether he will follow Mr. John Mor-ley's banner.

The Daily News says that the smol-dering, discontent of these callil1g themselves Liberal Imperialists IllW at last. burst into flames and Lhat it is deplorable that Mr. Asquith of all men should seem to head the movement of revolt which can end 111 nothing but the repudiation of Lib-eralism. "It is the: duty O'f the Lib-erals," says the Druily News, "to now loyally support Sir Hen,y Campbell-Bannerman." : It may Safely be predicted that Mr.

It would, he said, benefit neither "this country nor the colonies, and, would deprive the exchequer of revenue without benefitting the conSUlller and might endang-er trade with foreign cOllntries. 'I'here was a strong feel-ing on this subject in Germany, and tho' acceptance of the amendment would mean running a serious risk of losing the most favored nation treatment of the trade Britain now enjoyed in Germany. Ii' preference was extended to sugar from Canada, Australia would want special treat-ment for other products, and the for-eign countries .would offer the same concessions to tl1J c·oloni(s.
