PREFERENTIAL TRADE.
THE LATE LORD SALISBURY'S VIEWS. Press Association—By Telegraph-Copyright. LONDON, May 19. (Received May 19, nt 9.7 p.m.)' Adverting to tho discussion on tho late Lord Salisbury's fiscal views, Colonel Denison, a Canadian, writes to The Times that Lord Salisbury, between 1890 and 1892, corresponded with him relative to tariff reform and preferential tariffs, declaring that lie TVould be very glad if he saw any immediate hope of the modification of the British tariff. He considered the main difficulty lay in the people's real aversion to the imposition of duties oh articles of tho first necessity. The people did not comprehend that the maintenance of'the Empire might depend upon fiscal legislation, btit were led away by the more iinreasoning and Uncompromising advocates of Freetrade. Lord Salisbury, writing in 1901, predicted that no change in policy need be expected until the men died out whose minds had been formedi under the influence of the fallacies proclaimed during the Freetrade agitation.
