SOLUTION FOR THE FREE TRSOE PROBLEM ■ • IdOKIX)N The l.lheral government has by a wide Issue begun the solu tion of the great free trade problem by the patents act, which came into force last week. The beginning of tariff reform has been enacted and the manufacture of articles protected by Kngliah patents must he carried on In Great Britain. This will mean au enormous increase of work to thou •amts of Knglish workmen. Mr Lloyd George, who has been traveling In Germany, has evidently returned with a sense that although tariff reform as crudely propounded by the conservatives Is a measure which essentially would only have benefited one class. Is still to be con aldurud tinder modified conditions for the benefit of all. The result of this action Is that some of the great German and Amer ican firms are opening factories in Kurland, including the Safety lluzor company. Lever Brothers’ Aniline Dye Works, the Sanab gen Food company and the Patted Shoe Machinery com pany from Bo ton. 1 know of no juster measure than that the articles protected by Kng liah patents should In* manufactured by Knglish hands, hut | see a vast difference between the principle lying behind this act and the proposals for taxing food canting info this country, which would nave militated so hardly against the working classes. There is. however, one feature which is singularly encouraging, and that is the stamp of factory which is being opened For instance, there is a model German factor> Just finished at Brtmstown In Middlesex where we find a lange and airy dining hall for the employes, where work) tg people will either bring their own food or be supplied front the kitchen, a gi>od lihrar* a room set apart for men to dry their elothcs and boots and an equipped bicycl# shed These things are certainly an Indi cation of a better day that Is coming when the Socket of th« world will lie considered as among those to whom the nation owes Its gratitude And many a matt doesn't let his right i • t that what H *iv*s is grtto tv> «t b*c k by his left THE AUGUSTA HERfiLD Mrs. Abbie Rice ! . 4 M > » f Mr*.

VIENNA —Unusually romantic was the marriage at Budapest of Countess Henrietta Pongracz, who has finally succeeded in wedding her peasant fiance, after a year's conflict with her I aristocratic relatives. The headstrong joting lady, who is only seventeen, fell madly in love with Jonann On drasik, a peasant stable lad who worked among her father's horses. This was a year ago. Naturally her father. Count Eruard Pongracz. was turious and • attempted to put his daughter into a convent. This punish ment she evaded, and sought refuge with her liance at his parents' cot tage at the gales of her father's castle. 'i ne count then appealed to the courts, which ordered that the girl should be placed In a school at Bud apest. Before this could be carried out, the count died. Countess Henrietta then pleaded with her mother, who with much re luctance, finally -consented to Ihe mar riage. Accordingly the couple have Been married at a registrar's office in Budapest.
