FISCAL QUESTIONS.
MR ASQUITH'S CAMPAIGN. Received November 1, 9.42 a.m. LONDON, October 31. The Right Hon. H. H. Asquith, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at Leven, Fifeshire, said that what had taken place at the Colonial Conference, and the Australian tariff, had combined to enormously strengthen the freetrade feeling in Britain. Mr Asquith challenged the Tory leaders to plainly answer if; in order to obtain colonial preference, they were ready to tax foreign . corn, meat*, wood, and wool. If Mr Baltour said "No," he would doom his authority with the party; "Yes," he doomed the fortunes of his party. That was rather a sordid spectacle.
