THE PREMIER'S VIEWS. By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright Received August 14, 5.5 p.m. Ottawa, August 13. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, addressing 10,000, settlers at Alberta, said: "You are all free traders. <1 am also. Pox, Gladstone, Bright and Cobden are my models, i but a young country cannot adopt free trade the same as* England, which derives her revenue from the luxuries of the leisured classes. It is impossible to < tax new settlers. The bulk of thq^
finances must at present be raised from Customs duties." He promised a revision of the tariff, and expected that reciprocal trade with the United States would speedily 'be established. The United States, he said, was knocking at Canada's door, but until now Washington had made no fair proposal.
