This is cither nonsense, and mischievous nonsense, or else it means that tho Liberal Party are advised by their typical representative to abandon the policy of maintaining frco oxchange and free contract whorover possible, and to enter upon tho futilo and dangerous task of attempting to encourago trado by Government action—i.e., tho protection of commcrco and industry. • Translated into action, this means bounties for industry, either through uneconomic railway rates, such as Mr. Lloyd-Georgo is always feeling after, or elso by somo other equally undcsirablo instrument. Bounty-lVd industries arc always demoralised industries, arid wo are hot sure that wo would not as soon sco Frco Trade abandoned for a tariff as Frco Trade abandoned for a system, of " encouragement by Government action." Our advice, therefore, to Unionist Froo Traders in Dundee is in 110 case to voto for, Mr. Winston Churchill, but to abstain.— " Spectator."
