GERMAN TRADE.
If it bo true," as asserted a few flays !>ack by vSir Walter Buchanan, "that certain shipping f irm 9 aro discrnunating in their freight charges in favour of Gei-man-uianuf'iCturod goods.,
it is time that tho Government stepped in and revised its tariff. For some years past, we have had a tariff that haa given preference to British goods; but it has been"remarkable that, in face of this wall, German, A'-nericm, and other foreign goods have been pouring into our .ports. The explanation is to be found in the statement of Sir Walter Buchanan. It is obviously impossible for the Government to exercise a control over thq shipping. It can, however, -adjust its Customs duties in such a way that a real preference will be given to British-oianufactured goods. We hope that the necessary provision will be made in the legislation that is to be introduced this session.
