RECIPROCITY AND THE TARIFF.
Ministers are realising that in tampering with the tariff and making reciprocal treaties that dislocate vested iutereats, they have got 'twixt the devil and the d9ep sea. To retreat is to be discredited, and to go through with their fiscal programme will be to stimulate discontent among a considerable section of their following that may quickly grow to disorganisation. Indeed, it is now a question whether the Government supporters do not view the tariff proposals with more disfavour than the members of the Opposition. Already it is being whispered that the reciprocity treaties, particularly the Canadian, will be abandoned.
