THE FEDERAL TARIFF.
CANADA'S POSITION.
TRADE RECIPROCITY,
Received December. 20, 10.12 a.m.
SYDNEY, December 20,
Tlie Federal Treasurer, Sir William Lyne, expects that taking the tariff on the whole,, the reduction.of his da ties by Parliament will not exceed 3 per cent. With reference to Canada's withdrawal of the mail subsidy, Sir W. Lyne says he does not for a moment think it is <r\ account of the Australian tariff. Communications had been proceeding on the question of trade reciprocity since the introduction of the tariff, and Canada had been informed that Australia could not negotiate until the tariff was finally disposed of. Negotiations had certainly not been broken off, and so soon as the tariff was completed, they would probably be renewed.
He added:—"Canadians must not. forget that their tariff is as high, or higher, than ours."
