PROPOSED CANADIAN TARIFF.
(liy Telegraph.) (Ptr s.s. Sierra.) AUCKLAND, October 2. •It is anticipated that the Canadian 'Parliament will be summoned. to meet on 15th November. The Turiff Coui- • mission era are now busily engaged in framing a new Tariff Bill in order to jhavo it ready for presentation. The new Acts have three chief features. The 'idea is to have a maximum tariff to ap?ply to countries whose tariffs are hostile 'to Canada, such us United States and •Germany, a minimum general tariff to apply to countries which are disposed to 'trade with the country on fair terms, • and a preferential tariff for Great Britain and tbe colonies, to whicn it maybe deemed expedient to extend these benefits. So far as the Ministerial (plans and purposes are lcoown, the intention is to apply the maximum tariff • against the United States and Germany. The Government is desirous of encouraging trade with Japan, which country is likely to become one of Canada's best -customers.
