THE COMMONWEALTH TARIFF.
THE DEalp. ILL-CONSIDERED PROPOSALS. Received 28th, 12.53 a.m. Melbourne, August 27. Sir John Forrest resumed the taiiff debate. He declared he would not support any excessive duties, and not any higher than those proposed by the protectionist side of the tariff commission. The British preference proposals had not been veil thought out, and were slipshod and paltry make-believe. The preference was a mere appeal to the gallery.
Mr Watson said the new tariff bore evidence of hasty preparation. The Government had not taken sufficient time to consider the reports of the two section* of the Tariff Commission. He yna not at all enthusiastic over the preference proposals. His idea was that preference should be based on reciprocity. He saw no reason for enthusiasm oyer one-sided preference.
