The Rev. Frank Short, lending for the negative, said that properly the motion should read that this meeting is in favour of Free Trade within the Empire, but under standing by that the necessity of preferential tariffs or some other form of tariff against imports from countries other than Empire units." It would be easy to reproduce all the old arguments in favour of Free Trade. One recalled the pictures of the breakfast-table, of the work ing-man, and of the loaf steadily rising in price. Every argument which had been in the past put forward in favour of Free Trade and against the imposition of tariffs, which the resolution in plied, held good. to-day.
