The Fiscal Campaign.
SUGGESTIONS OF A LEADING CONSERVATIVE PAPER.
Commenting upon an emphatic denial by the Duke of Devonshire, Lord President of the Council, of a rumour published in the “ Westminister Garette ” that he intends resigning, the “ Standard ” says it was what everybody, knowing his character and career would have expected from a statesman enjoying such a large measure of national reputation for steadiness and strength. The “ Standard ” proceeds to suggest a duty, exclusively for revenue purposes, of Is 6d to 2s on foreign grain, also a revenue duty on flour.
The newspaper goes on to advise Mr Chamberlain to abandon his Imperial perferential tariff proposals and so release the Unionists from a position of unendurable embarrassment. The “ Standard ’’ adds that the Government might devise a scheme for the curtailment of the operation of foreign trusts and State-aided producers.
