The Fiscal Question.
London, February 23,
In the House of Lords, the Duke of Devonshire raised the fiscal question.' He declared that the Balfour-Chamberlain correspondent showed a great advance. The Unionists were entitled to know what had brought about the agreement. Personally he de~ dined responsibility for the policy embodied in that correspondence. Lord Lansdowne said:-—“Our trade is losing ground both at Home and abroad. Our manufacturers are transferring their works abroad. The Government must fight for fair treatment, and !f refused must give a respectful hearing to the colonies, who desire to draw closer to the Motherland.”
Lord Goschen urged the cessation of the tariff reform propaganda. He appealed to the Government to examine Sir Henry Campbell-Badnermau’s allegation that twelve or thirteen million people were on the verge of starvation in England. Then they might inquire if the changed tariff would improve the condition of this vast multitude.
Earl Crewe, while not saying that all was well, denied that trade was unsatisfactory.
