FISCAL SYSTEM.
♦ THE COLONIES AND THE TARIFF HAGGLING WILL DO NO GOOD.. By Telegraph.- Pf ess Aswolation — Copjrlght (Received January 27, 8 a.m.) LONDON, 26th January. The Right Hon. L. Harcourt (Secretary of State for the Colonies) speaking at Bacup (in Lancashire), said that no one at the Imperial Conference suggested that the fiscal system should be altered for their profit and to the injury of the working classes of Great Britain. . If there was a danger of losing the colonies without the tariff, said Mr, Harcourt, they would lose them anyway; because, whatever causes of friction might exist With the colonies, and he knew of none, they would be increased a hundred-fold by haggling between State and State, trade and trade, through conflicting interests.
