, .London, Aug. 15. Lord Carrington, speaking at High Wycombe, declared that Mr Chamberlain s last wild miscalculation would probably share the same fato as his other miscalculations. What level-headed man, he asked, believes that the country would allow interference with its food supplies. If defeated, Mr Chamberlain might try and win on the cry for retaliation. This would make bad blood in Europe. The Board of Trade reference to the Canadian preferential tariff shows that wheroas in a few years before 1897 the British imports to Canada deceased jg2 225,000, they increased £4,100,000 between 1897 and 1902. Canadian imports from the United States for the same period increased by 12 millions.
Melbourne, Aug. 15. Tom Mann, speaking at Wodonga, said that although the bulk of the workers of England still believed in Frcetrade, many were prepared to go even further in the direction of protection than Mr Chamberlain had indicated. His opinion was.that perferential trado would be no good, either to Great Britain or the colonies.
