CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. LLANRWST TRADESMEN MONOPOLY. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir -Will you allow me a uttle space to en- dorse "Workingman's" letter in last week's is- sue of the "Pioneer" ie the above. I have no sympathy with the "workingm" and as much with the Llaarwst tradesmen in their present agit.ation agtainst the "foreigners" Who undersell them every Tuesday. It does not surprise me to bear that these strangeans axe doing such a huge trade when they oorne here, as, during the few years I have resided at Llanrwst, it has always struck me that the majority of our tradespeople are "taking it too easy," and seem to be "resting on their oars," and a large per- centage of them do not appear to be able to supply dirtily thfix customer's vranta. Alto- gether they seem "happy-go-lucky," and apathe- tic to the study of their customers in any way. They complain that they pay heavy rates while these strangers pay no rates. It is true they pay heavy rates, but let them not forget that the people who buy their wares have also to pay very heavy rates, and if they can buy the same goods cheaper on the Square the more money they will have to pay the rates. Let the Llajirwst tradesmen be alive to their business, and they need not fear legitimate com- petition. Llaorwst should give a hearty wel- come to these "foreigners" as it is high time something should be done to wake up the shop- keepers. It affords satisfaction to note that one or two members of our Council at least seem wideawake to that fact. Let us hopo that the "Llanrwst Tradesmen's Association" has not been formed merely to guard and protect themselves while they sleep ur-bui that it will instil new life iuto them—I am, etc., OBSERVER.
THE LLANRWST TRADESMEN'S ASSOCIATION.…
THE LLANRWST TRADESMEN'S ASSOCIATION. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—I shall be glad if you will kindly allow space in your columns for th-is letter of explana- tion in this matter, as it appears that some ex- planation is reqtiired if, as allegod by "Working- man," in his letter, the feeling of the general puhlio is favourable to the existing system of letting1 spaces on tho public square. Had "Warkingman" signed his own name to his let- ter we would perhaps have been in a better position to judge whether his remarks did really represent the judgment of the working, class. If the "worldngmien" were about to suffer any injustice or wrong then tJle post of their pleader surely deserves some honour, but our critic, it appears, prefers to blush unseen. He has hoped that the Council win study the sub- ject in all its various bearings before arriving at any decision. It would have perhaps been as well if your correspondent had prescribed simi- lar caution for himself before rushing1 into print with wild assertions and weak arguments. The position is this, we take it, and we leave it to our critic to consider. The Square is public property, and maintained by the rate- pampers, amongst -vtthom—and forming the more considerable portion of them—are the members of this Association. Apart from rates they all pay rents. Does "Workingman" conscientiously believe that it is a j ust thing for the Council to tet the tradesmen's own property to any out- siders at a rental of sixpence a day ? Has he considered that anyone with no rent and taxes to pay, and no establishment expenses- to keep up, can afford to cut out those that do ? Does he see that the Council in gtiving these people every facility to beat the ratepayers is abusing ita authority?. "Workingman" has a plea for the poor who are tihus enabled to buy cheaper. He would be pleading* their cause better if he helped to do away with the temptation to buy cheap goods. I have accepted his assertion that prices are lower for the sake of argument, but it is aibmittod to him as a judgie., is it cheaper to pay little for poor quality? But granted that tihe quality is the best, we come back to the same question is it not quite possible to sell cheap when your rent is nothing? The critic bas, however, missed the point of the argument, and has been led astray by ir- responsible scholastic arm-chair philosophy. Fuxther, he has misjudged the purpose of a Tradesmen's Association—to be an organ for voicing the grievances of lihe trad instru- ment not of ooercion, but of co-operation; not of defiance, but of defence, not a mentor for the Council, but an aid; not to dictate, but to di- rect. This is a free country, and everyone is at liberty to trade where he wills, under equal conditions, but let not outsiders be allowed to compete against the ratepayers on their own property practically rent free.—I am, etc., D. PRYCE WILLIAMS. London House, Llanrwst, December 16th, 1908.
THE CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT…
THE CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT GLAN CONWAY. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer"). Sir,—I read your report of the meeting at Glan Conway, and such an effort to mislead the public I have never experienced. One statement waa that the Patentis Act was a measure of pro- tection. On the contrary, it is framed entirely in the true spirit of Free Trade, for it aims at removing an obstructive monopoly which checks individual development. The patents which the Act revokes are only those which have been taken out in this country to prevent others from producing articles in this country, although the patentee does not intend to produce them him- self. Instead of increasing the price to the con- sumer, which is always the result of Protection, the Act will lower it, by allowing in such cases, the free importation of the patented articles from abroad—the very opposite of Protection—also by allowing British manufacturers to step in if the foreign patentees refuse to carry out the par- poses for which the patent is granted, and also by making it the duty of the patentee to satisfy the reasonable requirements of the puhlio, for which purpose he must not only manufacture to an adequate extent, but supply the patented sw- tiele on reasonable terms. Another question which was brought forward was, why do so many more British leave their oountry than Germans leave theirs? It is easily explained* Germany has ao ookxitea in the tem- PIQie he, to relinquish hifi nâtionaIity and go not only under a foreign rule, but amongst those who apeak a foreign language. The British emi- grant can go amongst m$o of his own race, speaking his own language, and under the British Sag. It in inevitable that in an em- pire with a dense population at its Qentre and with a vast expanse of land calling out for culti- vation there should be a large movement of emigration, and it is very desirable that there should be. At the same time there are two causes at work in stimulating emigration, which are undesirable, but which have nothing to do with Free Trade. As to importation of doors and windows, it was stated that this caused increased unemployment. If that is so, how is it that unemployment has in- creased and importation of doors, etc., decreased by over one-halj during the last five years: Supposing we had fo" on these, the whole j mailc In this country, how much extra work or wages would the joiners get? Mr Chamberlain says that half the value of manufactured goods is paid in wages. If this be so, out of the £ 200,000 imported the joiners, 200,000 in number, would only get an extra pound a year, or say five- pence a week. I say our opposing friends are entirely wrong in their Tariff Reform mismon.- I am, eto., BONO PUBLICO.

DEATH OF AN OLD RAILWAY SERVANT. -News has just reached this country of the death of Mr Thomas Patterson, chief auditor of the Western Australian Government railways, which event occurred at His Majesty's Hotel, Perth, Australia, on November 5th, from heart disease. Deceased, who was 55 years of age, and unmarried, had been connected with railway work from his youth. Up to 15 years ago he was employed on the London and North-Western Railway, and for some years occupied the.post of district auditor on the North Wales coast. He was subsequently engaged as sanitary inspector for the New South Wales railways. He went to Australia on the same boat as Mr John Davies, who was general manager of the Western Aus- tralian Government Railways for some years. About thirteen years ago Mr Patterson accepted the dual position of chief accountant and auditor for the Western Australian railways. In 1903 he gave up the position of chief accountant, owing to failing health, but continued to act as chief auditor, and occupied that post with con- roicuous ability up to the time of his sudden demise. He was well* known and highly re- spected among railwayman, both at home and abroad, and the news of his death will be received with regret. PENSARN SCHOOL.-A meeting of the managers of Pensarn Church Schools was held on Tuesday evening, Mr Ephraim Wood, J.P.

Mackinlay Davies, Tom Jones (an ex-teacher at the schools), and the Rector (Rev. Wm. Davies), together with Mr Wm. Wil- liams, B.A. (headmaster), and the teaching stair of the schools. The proceedings opened with a selection of Welsh airs by the scholars. Mr Ephraim Wood, addressing the gathering, said that it was most encouraging to know that about one-third of the school were recipients of prizes. No leas than 14 had made full attend- ance for the year. One boy—Alfred O. Jones— had attended school for four years without a break, and a little girl-,Rarah A. Tibbott- had made full attendance for three years, there. by qualifying for a silver brooch (applause). In conclusion, Mr Wood said that great praise was due to the teachers for the manner in which the school had been conducted during the past twelve months (applause). Councillor Hugh Owen, addressing the gather- ing in Welsh, explained to the children the great educational facilities of the present day as compared with the time when he went to school. He advised the children to make the best of their opportunities (applause). MM Wood then distributed the prizes, and spoke a few encouraging words to each prize- winner. At the conclusion of the prize distribution, Mr Hugh Owen proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs Wood, which was seconded by Mr Mackin- lay Davies, in hia usual breezy style, and the scholars responded with three hearty cheers.

English and Welsh Markets.
English and Welsh Markets. CATTLE. LIVERPOOL, Monday.— There were a few lees cattle in market to-day man on Monday last. Considering it was the Christmas market the quality of cattle in general on offetr was not up to the usual standard. Trade good for finish- ed stallfeds. Some exceptional lots made the top quotation, but ro,Id was more general for uacfuJ descriptions; middling and rough cattle unaltered in value. Sheep supply larger. The class on offer was very little dinerent from the usual weekly exhibit. Fine small weights made the top quotation; others did not command any more money. A good clearance in all depart- ments was effected. Quotations Beef-first class 7d, second class 6d, third class 4jd; mutton, 8d to 5d per lb. At market: 1303 cattle and 4857 sheep. SALFORD, Tuesday.—The Christmas market, but the show was less good than usual. Dearer cattle in good demand. North country sheep a good display.
