THE FISCAL PROBLEM.
Sydney, Saturday.
Mr Chamberlain, in a letter replying to the Chamber of Manufacturers, says:
" The statement so freely made by those whose interest in the welfare of the Empire as a whole has always been of doubtful quality, that the colonies are selfishly seeking their own advantage, and while demanding great sacrifices from us would make no adequate return, is a libel, upon all our fellow subjects across the seas.
" The Unionist party has been in power for an exceptional period. The Opposition are consequently impatient to take their places, and, speaking for myself, I shall not be sorry if the ordinary swing of the pendulum gives them an opportunity of showing what is really the character of their alternative policy. I know the peopie of this country are Imperial people, and will not long consent to be governed by Little England ideas. A short time in Opposition would invigorate and unite our own party. Then on pur return to power, I should look forward to a triumph of our policy as a question of months rather than years."
