by the Chairman that it was in contempla-

most of them were engaged by the method

est was great and valuable force, and he

www of opinion that if their business was

- municipalised, it would not be for the public advantage. It was to their interest, as it was to the interest of the public, to obtain supplies of food as cheaply as possible. In this connection he noticed that it seemed to be in contemplation to impose duties on the prime articles of necessity. It was urged that such a course was requisite to keep the there Empire together. Ile ventured to say were other and clour bonds thin those of Preferential Tariffs (oheers); which would better accomplish their purpose. There were, above all, the warmsympathiesof race, which never failed u in time of stress and strain. He was in Australia, as Governor of Victoria, at the time when the unhappyi War in South Africa broke out. They kn.w with what entbu iam the Colonies came to the support of the Mother Country (ap- plause). That enthusiasm was just as warm in Fren Trade New South Wales as in Pro- tectionist Victoria (hear, hear) Recently we had been going through a time of very great anxiety, and must all have read with the greatest satisf·ction those Resolutions of warm and patriotic support which came Ao promptly from the Parliaments of New Zealand and the Australian Commonwealth. A change in the Fiscal policy was not re- qaired to give us such sympathy. blieved that the true Fiscal policy was that which we had for so many years pursued that of leaving to all parts of the Empire full and unrestricted freedom to adopt that system which was best adapted to their several circumstances (applause), He warmly congratulated the Government on the wise and peaceful solution of the recent International fi ulty, which at one time had a very formidable aspect. He wished all possible prosperity to their As- sociation (applause).
