The Right Hon. A. TJro, Lord Advocate of Scotland, speaking at Crowe, said no member of tho Government or any practical Liberal was a single taxer. A committee of inquiry was investigating a proposal to tax laud in orfler to relievo local rates and remit the taxes on tea and sugar. The Unionist papers reiterate- that there are serious differences between Mr Lloyd Georgo and his colleagues, though the Cabinet has agreed for tho present to maintain a united face.
