PROTECTIVE TARIFFS
ATTITUDE OF FARMERS. CRITICISM OF MANUFACTURERS. (Special to “Northern Advocate.’’) . DUNEDIN, This Day. Strong criticism of the Now Zealand Farmers’ Union and other fanning interests, in their attitude toward tariffs, Avas made by Mr James Hogg, the president, at a meeting of the Dunedin Manufacturers’ Association. In the face of official pronouncements, he said, it Avas amazing to find that the Farmers’ Union hoped to bring pressure to hear upon the Government by the signing of a petition seeking a reduction in the Customs tariff, Avith a vicav to the eventual abolition of protective tariffs. Mr Hogg said that most people in. the Dominion recognised that the 'tariff issue should be left to the commission and not to farmers, and that Hie vioAVs of all sections of the community, not of one section only, should receive consideration. At a mooting of the Farmers’ Union terms such as “the iniquitous tariff” had been used. That sort of thing at present Avas to be condemned.
