TWO MAIN PRINCIPLES. [INDEPENDENT PREJ3S CABLE] LONDON, April 1. Commenting on the preferential tariffs debate in the House of Commons, the “Times,” in a leading article, says: “The Unionists are following _ the universal trend of Imperial opinion which ha sol early established the principle that every tariff should, in the first place, be framed to to the national interest, and should then, as its secondary object, provide for Imperial preference on any duties thus laid down. . “Once these two principles are established in our fiscal procedure here, the grant of preference will follow automatically upon any duties of which tlio British people may approve.”
