Public Notices. DENOUNCING THE TREATIES." To some people this phrase, recently seen in the cables from England, conveys the idea that there is a malediction about Mr Chamberlin's intentions regarding foreign nations. It is not quite so severe as that. It means that he will give notice that the "most favoured nation" clause they now enjoy in their Commercial Treaty with England will be terminated, and that the colonies will be permitted, if they choose, to charge higher duties on foreign than on British goods. For instance, the majority of the pianos imported come from the Continent. Beet sugar is another article, and upon which the German Government pay high bounties, so as to compete with sugars from Mauritius arid Queensland. Mr Chamberlin's commercial mind has grasped the fact that in the British Possessions necessaries of life can be grown on British soil without depending on the Continent for sugar or China for tea. China has recently shown Ingratitude to England by arranging with foreign Powers for railways, and Mr Chamberlin intends to give tit for tat. What he practically says is—'You foreigners do not know when you are well off. I'll give the colonies leave to send their produce Home on Free Trade lines, and enable them to charge extra duties on goods produced outside our Empire. This will give them an opportunity to reciprocate with Ceylon, a British colony, where that delightful Suratura Tea is grown. It is without exception the most invigorating for a tired-out brain the world can produce, and it should be admitted duty free, and a prohibitive tariff put on the production of tt'ie Chinaman, and so bind the Anglo-Saxon together throughout the British Empire with something better than mere sentiment.1 Recollect Suratura Tea is not blended with Indian or China, and that in using that wonderfully economic household requisite you are encouraging the PRODUCTION OF BRITISHERS FROM BRITISH SOIL, and not the CHINAMAN FROM CHINESE SOIL.
