EMPIRE'S TRADE.
INTERESTING LETTERS. By Telegraph—Tress Association—Copyright London, Sept. 1. Dr. Jameson, as ono of tho executors of Mr Cecil -Rhodes’ will, has forwarded to tho Times tho originals of two letters, dated May, 1891, discovered arnoDg Mr Rhodes' papers. The first is addressed to tho late Sir John Macdonald, then Premier of Canada, asking: 11 Can we invent some tie with tho Motherland that will prevent separation? The curse is that English politicians cannot see the future. They think Great Britain will always be the world’s manufacturing mart, and fail to understand what protection, coupled with reciprocal relations, means.”. Tho second letter invited the co operation of Sir Henry Parkes, who at the time was Premier of New South ’Wales, in securing from the Motherland preferential consideration of colonial products as a means of maintaining the Imperial connection.
