COUNT BAYASHI ON 12B TARIFF QUESTION.

Oogat Hayashi, the former Japanoro Ambos- radot in London, and Minister of Foreign Aftairs in the last Salool Ministry, is quoted by the Tokyo Press as stating that with regard to Great Britain's opposition to the cow Japanese, ere tarlif it still remain unknown whether the British Government will accept the verdict of public aplaion which is decidedly antangon. xtic to the new tariff. So far as the Count's observation want, Great Britain is a cooptry where public opinion is much respected and it is, therefore, pretty certain that the British Go vorament will be largely influenced by the feeling talsed against the proposed tariff of this tala articles from England will be raised by country, according to which the duties on cer

from

~TWENTY TO THIRTY PER-CENT.-

Seeing the amount of the increase, there can be little wonder that British merchants have raled strong opposition to the new tasiff. In certain quarters the oplaton was recently ex pressed that the tariff question has been taken up by the Conservatives as a weapon with which to attack the Argalth Government, whose object it is to matatalo the present free trade system. The strong opposition thus far raised against the new tariff is not based on

such a political scheme.'

Coaut Hayashi praceeds to state that public oplaton in England has taken such firm hold it is imperative that Japan should consider as to whether the Anglo-Japancao Alicoce may not be affected by the issue of the tariff ques tion. The Count emphasizes the fact that the All Roco was established in occordance with pub'ic opleion in England which took the laltiative in the matter. · That Japan has taken ber position in the ranks of first-class Powers was largely dan to the existence of the Alliance. It will, therefore, be very foolish for Japan to iosist upon the enforcement of a high tariff merely for the purpose. The Japanese peopla sboold, hopes the Count, assist the Govern- ment in

Continuing Count Hayashi remarks that he fully understands the character and tree santi. ments of the Britons. Their opposition to the pow japanese latiff is appareatly based on a desire to protect their tradal interests. Should Japan introduts amendments to certain objec- ilonal points in the new tariff the British will naturally understand the goodwill and trus motives of the Japanese authorites and people.
