Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Magazine, 1912, Vol. 22 The Reciprocity Agreement proposed between Canada and the United States seems likely to lessen the value of the preference now granted to Britain in the Canadian market by putting the Americans in a better position to compete with us, and perhaps by extending a similar advantage to other nations under the most favoured nation clause.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Magazine, 1914, Vol. 26 Were it too audacious to express a hope that, for the salvation of a democracy which now, like the demoniac of old times, wounds and rends itself - which is possessed by innumerable evil spirits that give it no peace but incessantly impel it toward self destruction - some kind of a college or university for statesmen might be established in every country where representative institu tions exist? Such an establishment, of course, would be main tained at the public charge and be controlled, indirectly, by the State. The teaching staff would be most carefully selected (foreign professors, free from local attachments or prejudices, might well be accorded preference), liberally remunerated, 'and placed entirely outside both political and clerical in uences. Admission would be by competitive examination, as vacancies from time to time arose: and the fees, if any, charged for in struction and maintenance should be so small as to enable the poor as well as the rich to participate in the benefits provided. Obviously, only a limited number of students could be received, as is the case in the ordinary training colleges for the Army and Navy. The existence of hordes of unemployed professors of politics in a country would be most disturbing to the general tranquillity, and would mean rampant demagogism. By the means just sketched the State would literally, in the late Lord Sherbrooke's familiar phrase, educate its masters. It would ensure, without violating one whit the fundamental principles of freedom, that each future legislator should be a man of good moral character and should possess the priceless gift of knowledge. The demagogue and other birds of prey would disappear, and the ignorant elector would be protected against the results of his own ignorance. Were but one quarter of the funds now foolishly employed to attract needy and incompetent men to enter public life devoted to training far worthier legislators, the human race would be spared a multitude of quite avoidable ills from which it now sufiers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review, and Magazine, 1910, Vol. 19 We may compare its venom to a microbe of disease which may be powerless when introduced into a healthy organism, but is fatal if it finds lodgment, and the opportunity to spread, in a body already in bad condition. NO doctor can extricate the microbe, but he can counteract its effect by restoring the body to soundness. AS with the body corporal so with the body politic. Ours has been brought to a rotten condition by the pushing of Cobdenism to extremes. It is for the statesmen, who we hope may soon replace the semi - socialistic group of politicians which now forms the Cabinet, to make it their first: care to restore the body politic to a normal state of health by enabling our industries to compete on fair terms with the foreigner. Only thus can employment be given to the people only thus can they be offered an alternative to revolution; only thus can Cobdenism be prevented from ending as a stepping Stone to Socialism - and to destruction.

It is a national industry, and if the agricultural question is to be properly approached, it must be from the National and not from the Party standpoint. To go into the arena as a party politician, attacking one class and stirring up hatred in the villages of England - that may be worthy of an agitator who stands at the reformer's tree in Hyde Park, but it is not worthy of the Chancellor Of the British Exchequer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Magazine, Vol. 17: February, 1909 Let me now pass to the more permanent causes of unemploy ment. Every year sees new improvements in machinery. Work that occupied the labour of a hundred hands not long ago, and these hands mostly men, is now performed by a third of that number, and in many cases the reduction is lower still. To mention only a few of the great labour-saving machines used in every class of factory work would take more Space than I have at my disposal, while in agriculture the labour-saving machines introduced during the last ten years have tended further to lessen employment in that direction. To those misguided people who imagine that the farmers are looking out for labourers, and that the millennium is going to come by training men to go on the land in this country, I would point out that the Board of Trade Gazette in a recent number, referring to agricultural labour, says, there was but little or no interruption of agricultural employment. The demand for extra labour was fairly good, but it was generally fully met by the supply. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Indeed, I have reason to believe that the Prime Minister intends, if possible, to make his pronouncement before the month of July closes. That it will be framed on the Report of the Ridgeway Commission is by no means certain, but as the Commission was sent out to Obtain information for the Government it may be assumed that the Cabinet will very carefully consider what the Commissioners have to say. In that lies the hope of the British party in South Africa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review, 1907, Vol. 13 Owing to my being, for the moment, far away from news papers and telegrams, I am afraid these lines will have passed out of the printer's hands before I know the result of the German elections. I notice, however, in almost all the English papers which have reached me Since the Reichstag was dissolved by the authority Of his Majesty the German Emperor, that it is taken for granted the issue to be decided by the impending elections is Whether Germany Shall or'shall not become a constitutional government approximating, more or less closely, to the system under which Great Britain has been ruled for many generations. Even at the risk of turning a false prophet, I think I may venture to predict that this forecast is not likely to be realised, Whatever may be the net results of the electoral poll.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review, 1903, Vol. 5 That feeling of uneasiness with which the German cousin during the last twenty-five years has inspired the English world of trade, by himself conveying his own German goods to market instead Of sending them out to the customers Of the world under the ag Of England, will, in course Of time, be surmounted; and the annoyance caused to many an Englishman by the sight of the German ag on the ocean on a much larger number of vessels than formerly will disappear. The German cousin has occasionally been as inconvenient to English policy as to English trade. For a long time Germany's traditional leaning towards Russia was looked upon askance; and when Lord Salisbury described the news of the austro-german Alliance in 1879 at Manchester as good tidings Of great joy, it was assuredly the outspoken departure from Russia that induced him above all to do so. But as long as Kaiser Wilhelm I. Lived, the disturbance Of good relations with Russia was only temporary. This was shown by the interchange of telegrams between Czar and Kaiser after the capitulation of Paris; by the meeting at Alexandrowo by the journey Of Alexander II. To Dantzig, and by his triple renewal Of an intimate alliance with the German Emperor, the friend Of his father.

Download or read book Empires of Print written by Patrick Scott Belk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the twentieth century, the publishing industries in Britain and the United States underwent dramatic expansions and reorganization that brought about an increased traffic in books and periodicals around the world. Focusing on adventure fiction published from 1899 to 1919, Patrick Scott Belk looks at authors such as Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells, Conan Doyle, and John Buchan to explore how writers of popular fiction engaged with foreign markets and readers through periodical publishing. Belk argues that popular fiction, particularly the adventure genre, developed in ways that directly correlate with authors’ experiences, and shows that popular genres of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries emerged as one way of marketing their literary works to expanding audiences of readers worldwide. Despite an over-determined print space altered by the rise of new kinds of consumers and transformations of accepted habits of reading, publishing, and writing, the changes in British and American publishing at the turn of the twentieth century inspired an exciting new period of literary invention and experimentation in the adventure genre, and the greater part of that invention and experimentation was happening in the magazines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Review, 1882, Vol. 13 The tendencies of this new form of government could be studied from as many points of View as there are members in the Cabinet. Judicious reform has been the endeavor of them all. Perhaps in no department has there been such thorough renovation and such astounding development as in that of public education. It was evident to all that the ignorance under the Empire had caused the downfall of France. The geography of the country was better known at Berlin than in Paris; the German trooper was more con versant with the French roads than many an officer in the Imperial army! This was the culmination of the rule of the Nephew of his Uncle. It was an unanswerable argument in favor of public education, and touched the sensitive chord of patriotism, which responded by vot ing grant after grant for the furtherance of primary instruction. This was the dawn of the new era in which France severed her connection with the institutions of the past, and set forth on a new path. She has learned that the hope of any worthy government is in the young, and the strength thereof is derived from their education and their ability to grasp and cope with the difficulties which continually beset a people. And at this juncture we are met by the interesting question of universal suffrage. The political interests of France and of the United States, in so many cases identical, seem here to be utterly at variance. That which, if wisely managed, may and will prove the boon of the one, threatens, unless promptly considered, to become the bane of the other. France has only Frenchmen to deal with - a fixed and invariable quantity. She has a certain amount of ignorance to educate, and a certain quan tum of superstition to extirpate. But here it is not so. The large yearly contribution of incapacity which is the unfortunate result of this country's well-founded boast that it is the haven of the suffering and oppressed is endangering the very institutions which have made the country what it is. Under existing circumstances universal suffrage in this country would seem to be a grievous mistake. It has ceased to be the corner-stone of its republicanism it has become its worst and direst foe.

Drawing on scholarship old and new, this book provides a detailed overview of each of the Confederacy's six executive departments, along with biographical sketches of each man who held a position in Jefferson Davis's cabinet, from Secretary of State to Postmaster General.
