TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PRESS.” Hongkong, 15th January. SIE, The article by "X" gives reasons for continuing our free trade polioy, and in that respect is different to the platitudes and vagus assertions of what might happen if we make scal changes, which the supporters of free trade generally bring forward as arguments. Consequently theas who hold different opinions ought not to allow "I's" statements to go unchallenged. Taking the artido serialim, we are asked the question, "How will the new
policy affect this Colony!" and "X" asserts that every article of food is imported and would have to be taxed, and very little of it comes from British cources.
It is precisely for such reason that the tax is proposed, Vegetables, dairy prodace, fresh meat, and fish, can be produced within the boundaries of the Colony. Of the balance of our requité. ments thero is very little that the British dominions cannot supply. Canada could send as four and tinned fish; Razgoon, ries;
Australia, wine and tinued meats. Such articles champagne, olives, tobacco, &c., are in the
nature of luxuries, and could bear a moderato lax. "I's" next sentence simply goes to prove that the bicesings of free trade have not kept the price of foodstalks low here; the price of local produce has increased owing to sudden greater demand; and imported goods are dearer,
