TARIFF OF BRITAIN.
REVISION ADVOCATED. ANTI-FREE TRADE MOVE. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Oct. 27. In his presidential address at the annual meeting of the National Llnion of Manufacturers, Mr. G. Terrell said the signatories to the international bankers manifesto were largely advocates of free trade. The manifesto had apparently originated with the importers of foreign goods, who were alarmed at the change in public opinion in Britain. If the manifesto led to, all-round free trade it could be welcomed, but it bad no chance of succeeding. They could not allow the country to be hoodwinked into believing it was a serious movement, and let Britain remajn the dumping ground for the surplus products of foreign manufacturers. There was every evidence that the Prime Ministers of the Dominions desired, to foster Empire trade. Such a project opened rip illimitable possibilities, but the basis must bo a tariff on foreign manufactures. In order to provide preference for the Dominions and colonies preparation must bo made to roverse the British fiscal policy at the next elections
