Rectifications were required in many directions, but, as matters stood the alterations could not satisfactorily be made, except at the time of a Brttetal revision of the tariff. The Government had under consideration a scheme by winch, when it appeared advisable th«* the tnrift on any article should be. altered, the matter could be referred to at) advisory committee. On the reeommendahon of this committee the Minisrf of " 9^ oma , Wltl > the approval, of the House of Representatives, would be able to modify the tariff in the direction deemed necessary. He believed some ss tor e r? ld he 6t great ad7Mitage to manufacturers in New Zealand, and especially to those who were ertobhsliing new industries. ■■ '
