The Fiscal Problem.
(B^ Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Per Preas Association).
LONDON, Octobers. The Hon. Sir Horace Tozer, AgentGreneral for Queensland, in an interview dealing with Mr Balfour's suggested conference, said the whole matter was purely a business arrangement, and the Motherland ought to put herself in a position to negotiate with the colonies, and make the utmost use of family connections. It would be found that the colonies can retain, their fiscal system, while securing all the Empire wants in connection with trade.
Enoch Edwards, in a presidential address to the Miners' Federation at Bristol, representing 334,000, said that the one thing they intended to emphasise was that the great federation of miners would not be captivated by any method of preferences making the food of tho people dearer. (Cheers). Mr Balfour proposes, if the Unionists are still in power after the elections, to ask the colonies to -join in a conference. The Daily Telegraph says that Canada is entirely favourable to a confersnee, though-many think that the Motherland must first speak at tho polls. The colonies had already.spoken at the Coronation conference.
