1 318 - AKNOLB KOsTEH'S VIEWS. ( PEE PBESS ASSOOIATrON. j London, August 19. . j Mr AiTmM Ftisiet, coxitiiiuing his | speech, said thao but for tlie tr .de of t : the Colonies we skou'j bo losing tuilt lions and millions taeh year. What ) we wanted ws s ptdVenc* for mi-nu-l factures to (.table us to go to the Oc.lo-| f J nies instead of to the French and Ger- ] .[man manufacturers. Our preferencet i to the Colonies must be on articles of „ consumption. A shilling duty on corn would not increa?o the pricw of tbe !oef, and 2s would in.ply merely Is 6d per head per aunum ou tho whole country, ev n if it raises thu price. Commeiitiog upon the Free Food League, he remarked that the chief 9 supp rfers of frr e food, Mr Goschen • at.d Sir Michael Hicks-Bach, taxed ■ tea, sngar, cff ?o, acd diiriks, even corn. Hi reiifttr the Government would probably tax mtab and cora. He considered is necessary to miike an adjustment of taxation on food to give preference to tbe Co'onits, The Sacrifice, if any, would be small. A vo'e of confidence in Mr Forster > was unanimously carried. 9 '
