"In a recent statement Mr. Benn gaid: 'I believe in tariff reform for England. I know that if the Eng lish workmen wish to improve their position, receive higher wages and have more constant employment, they Bhould adopt a tariff policy for their country. I spend my time alternat ing between England and America, and I became so convinced of the importance of this whole matter that ( I caused a careful comparison of wages to be made to be made. Here are the results: " 'Wages paid in Yorkshire, Eng land, and in Rhode Island to opera tors working upon the same machin ery and using the same materials. The English workers had a week of 55 1-2 hours, the Rhode Island work ers a week of 56 hours. Eng. Rhode Is.

Here : at our Rhode Island plant they comb, ; spin and weave exactly the same classes of wool, alpaca and mohair; and the same qualities of yarn and cloth as do the operatives in ourl English mills. They use identically, the same machinery. They do pre-j cisely the same "things. Indeed, many j of our workmen here were working' m the English mills" only six years ago. The length of the working week is almost the same 56 hours here and 55 1-2 hours over there " 'Mr. Benn also referred to thel ost of living In the two countries, and said: " 'I have never known a workman to return to live in England. The company has built a model village about the mills at Greystone and the operatives conduct their own co-operative store, just as they do In Eng land.

The New President of Mexico. On yesterday. President Madero special message to the American peo- nio nf vhtoh fiin,in(r t Q tract: "I want to see American en ergy, brains and capital come to Mexico and assist in its develop ment and progress. Americans will always find a friend In me and may government." There is now over five hundred millions of American capital invested in Mexico, and therefore this message will be received with the greatest in terest and with the greatest pleas ured and relief by our people. If President Madero establishes the re forms in Mexico for which he has declared, it will mean that double the amount of American capital will soon be invested in our sister Republic of the South, which is so rich In natu ral resources.

Hie Italian and Turkisli War. The latest reports are that Italy and Turkey are still engaged in deadly conflict over Tripoli. On yes terday, the Government of Italy pro claimed that Tripoli had been annex ed to the Italian Government, and at the same time the Turkish Govern ment sent out an appeal to the Unit ed States and European powers for Intervention. It is not thought that our Government will intervene at this stage. As has been pointed out before in tnese letters to The Caucasian, it will 'be some time before Italy has sub- I jugated the Mohammedan Arabs who live in the hill country and the oases of the desert back of Tripoli, but one thing seems clear, and that is, that , Turkey has been forever expelled from Northern Africa.
