JAPANESE TARIFF.
DAMAGING EFFECT ON BRITISH TRADE. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. • Received May 2Qth, 11.10 p.m.) LONDON, May 26.
Mr Wilcox, secretary of the China Association, in a letter to "The Times" (which "The Times" describes as important and convincing), shows that the new Japanese tariff will inflict a serious blow upon British trade. The rates ujsori many articles have been doubled, and, in several instances, trebled. A large majority of the articles affected are chieily imported from Britnin. The increased rates, when they aro enforced, will compel many British firms trading to Japan to abandon business there. Mr Wilcox quotes Baron Komura's speech in January last, when he stated that England, being a perfectly freetrade country, had no means of- purchasing tariff concessions from other nations.
