TARIFF REFORM
A UNIONIST PROPOSAL,
(Received Last Night, 9.20 o'clock.)
LONDON, January 7
The Conservatives are giving prominence to Sir Joseph Lawrence's :c,ea to grant a bounty of 2s per quarrer for Colonial and Home grown wheat, the money to be obtained by taxation on foreign manufactures. Thus both workers and agriculturalists would be bonefited. Mr ..Charles Bathurst, Unionist member for Wilts, in supporting the proposal, argues that tho bounty should be larger in the case of Home grown than Colonial wheat, in fairness to the English farmers, owing to the lieavy rates and taxes, and also for tho sake of fiscal orthodoxy.
