In a speech of the 91 Jose 1818, Mr Chamberlain returned to the subject and spoke. more strongly still in faseur of the establish meat of commercial maion throughout the lin pirs, but admitted that it would fuvolve the replacing (by the mother-onantry) of duties

When we look round the empire as a whole we cannot but he struck by the way of gratom which prorasis, and the haphazard fashion in which is abject has always been treated by posten, meat, wool, and other articles af Governments at home.

tien with this matter of oslonial tariffe and colonial trade.

It is often thought that the American colonies rose against the very principle of nation for imperial purposes considered in the street, But, as Mr. Egerton has wall shown, Franklin himself, writing in 1704, admitted that a species rotene might properly be established towards supporting troups to be maintained in Amerion by the Crown, and the principle that the colonists should pay their due proportion of imperial charges was not denied by the colonists them selec; their griecnoss lying wholly in the par- tionlar manner in which payment we required.

This being so, rarely it must be wise that those proparations should be made in time of peace for ico collectiva antion as would come too into if taken in time of war.

CONCLUSIONSMAN

Ja hit porch at Hirmingham on the 13th, May, the Colonial Sectory, after explaining the dangers which surround-oar position as a Power, expressed the desire of Limsuit and tas Cabinet to draw over the bonds batwon our selves and our colonies for the purposes of ience and of indo. No prepcanals "base, however, an got been put forward for any con- sideration upon the former band, and these which have been suggested upon the liter have either be withdrawn or are somewhat Debutols

The Colonial Secretary, who before the Ju bilee lavited pratical anggestions for a tariff anion, after be bad not the Frime Ministers of the eleven selfgoverning, colonies, declared in strong terma the unwisdom at pressing the question. But since tent declaration steps have be taken in soms calonies in the direction of a profemmes to be giren to the produce and manntactatos of the United Kingdom. It will be seen that the phrase the United Kingdom axcludes Indin and the Crown Colonios and it la by no means certain that any very real or considerable perforenes on be curried, as far as

There is a danger in prossing Imperial Fede ration, without knowing exaolly what we mean end, still more, what the colostes desire. Thore is danger in pressing closer trade relations while we remain in the same condition of doubt There a danger in neglecting to press those joint preparations for Imperial Defsace which, if net made now, will come too late.
