FIRST CATCH YOUR HARE.
UNIONISTS AND TARIFF REFORM.
FIRST DUTY TO OUST THE GOVERNMENT. [UNITED PEESB ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT] LONDON, Dec. 18. The "Times" states that the larger section of Unionists is averse to the food taxes, preferring a referendum. The smaller section is estimated at from 30 to 40 per cent., favoring tariff control as the party machine. Lord Curzon, speaking at York, declared that the supreme duty of the Unionist party was to sustain the attack on the Government, rather than to publicly discuss what wheat and corn duty should be imposed at some future unknown date. CANADIANS AND THE PROPOSED UNIONIST CONFERENCE. OTTAWA, Dec. 19. Political circles do not object to Mr Bonar Law’s (Leader of the Unionists) Empire conference, but Canadians do not desire to add to their prosperity at the expense of English workers.
