Melbourne), Feb. 24. The Tariff Commission is taking evidence as to the timber industry, whioh strongly favors higher duties. The Royal Commission on tho tobacco industry, in a majority report, finds there has boon a falling off in local factories owing to the existence of a combine, which also caused a decrease in locally-grown loaf, has reduced wages, and led to the employment of women. The effect on growers has been disastrous, becauso it placed them at tho mercy of one buyer, who fully used his opportunities. The report recommends that tho industry be made a Government monopoly, and estimate that one million four hundred thousand pounds would bo obtained in duties. The Commission further recommends that the matter be submitted to a referendum of the electors. Senator Grey in a minority report, says the evidence heard by tho Commission, rather than justifying a State monopoly, was entirely against it. Ho denies that the combine has a monopoly, and still less is it injurious to trade. He considers the figures of his colleagues, in regard to the estimated profits entirely fallacious.
