BY The following sketch says the New York
Commercial Advertiser Of the proceedings OF
the House Of Commons on the 18th OF July,
it will be seen that the New American tarlt IS
a subject Of serious consideration in Great brl.
tain. While we coincide most fully with Mr.
IIuskisson, in principle, we must enter our ex-
ception agalns, the manner in which he speaks
Of the Legislative acts of this nation. 1t is
hardly to be supposed that the British Parlia-
ment will be selected by the y. States, as the
mus, suitable place for :he discussion Of their
own internal or external policy. II is for US to
Quarrel about the Tariff as much as we please
NOT for Great Britain. Mr. Hume has un-
doubtedly touched the right key in this matter.
While Great BRIAN keeps her ports nsidly
closed upon the whole prodace oil our country,
saving only our cotton and tobacco, under an
enormous dizzy, however, she, OF all others, has
no right TO complain. We are for the princi-
pies Of free trade, in the most enlarged and lib
eral sense Of the term, while Great Britain is
in favor Of these principles just so far, and no
farther, as :hev can he pioilabIy adapted'to her
own peculiar interests Great Britain rightly
adneres to the system Of extending the utmos,
protec ton 10 her landed interesr; and pray may
not America be allowed TO do the same! Not.
however, be it understood, that we approve OF
the measures we have adopted for this purpose.
We are speaking only Of The right OF the Gov
eminent, and the courtesy due from the lesls.

TARIFF OF The UNITED tut
House Of Commons, on the 18th July, Mr. Hus-
ki,son rose to move for copies Of the American
tariffs Of 1924 and the present year, with any
communications from his Majes,y's Ministers
in the United Safes OH the subject 1t was
nee essary b, fore the close Of the session, TO take
some notice, not Of the intention, perhaps, but
of the tendency of certain Acts which had been
lately passed in the y States, detrimental 10
their own interests, but certainly calculated
gre ATTY 10 iniure and impede the trade aud ma
nufactures of Great Britain. In 1915 con-
,eu,ion was entered INFO for four years, which
was not introduced by him, but which was
nearly one OF the first of hose reciprocity trea-
ties that had been so much abused The sins
ple principle was this: That all articles, the
growth, produce and manufacture of either
country, should be received in either upon du>
ties as low as those paid upon any the like ar
tices, the growth, produce or manufacture oil
any other country; and further, that there
should BE- no discriminating duties in reference
to the national character Of the respective ships.
In 1918 it was renewed. AT this period, when
we were exploding the doctrine Of prohibition,
it was adopted by the Americans with refer
ence TO the great staple manufactures of Eng
land About the same time The Convention
was violated by the United States, imposing an
additional duty on iron rolled instead OF beaten
into plates, which was an increase occa>ioned
! merely by the improvement in the mode OF ma
nufac'ure. This country demonstrated, but
without effect; though on the renewal OF the
Convention the principle was conceded, and 1t
was also agreed that the treaty should be dis,
solved on either party giving twelve months
> notice. Since that period the American Com
gsess has added other duties, particularly upon
wool, hardware and cotton, ard those duies
were SO great as TO amount almost to prohi>
btion; and, as in The year before the PROPOSE
ton for an increase was rejected by majority
of one, in the year 1927 it was carried oy
great majority.
But he understood that those best informed
upon such subjects IN the United States, look
ed upon the increase as highly prejudieial 10
their interests; certain it was that every coun-
try looked to every question with reference to
its own particular interests, and on that princi'
pie he did not complain Of the United States;
: but on tina, principle also was it that we ought
