NJ A
dam called attention to President 1'ylei's last
Message to the American Congress relative to
British policy in renewing the African slave
trade, and recapturing liberated negroes as ap-
prentices.
Sir Robert Peel regretted that the President
of the United States had meddled with the sub
ject. The Americans did not understand Brit.
ish policy.
The Premier then proceeded to issue a few
political falsehoods of the grossest character as
TO the terms on which Africans were brought

TARIFF OF THE UNITED STATES. The Ear
Of Clarendon inquired what means had beer
taken to obtain redress for certain merchant:
who complained, as he conceived justly, OF the
loss inflicted on them by change made some
time ago in the tariff of the United States
Under the 26th section of the new tariff, agreed
to on the 26th of August, 1912, goods coming
from England, which were shipped before the
| imposition of new duties was known, were eX'
posed to ruinous duties, to the extent of 80 oil
| 100 per cent. on silk goods and l20 per cent. or
cotton goods. Goods that had come from the
eastward of the Cape were subjected to much
lower duties. Now, this he considered to be
an nfracton Of the treaty with the w. States
which provided, among other things, that nc
duty should be imposed Oh goods from England
higher than was imposed on goods coming from
any other country. BY the change, single
house in Glasgow had lost $4,000, and the to-
tai loss by the British merchants is estimated at
100000. The Americans appeared fully alive
to the importance of the treaty wherever II Is
in their favor; for they have insisted on the re-
payment of the amount of duties levied on theil
rice by us in excess of that levied on the rice
| from the coast of Africa.
The Earl of Aberdeen replied, that the case
had the attention of government; but neither
the representations Of Mr.. Fox, the late Minis
ter at Washington, nor of Mr.. Pakenham, hi:
successor, had as yet met with the attention
they deserve.
OREGON. Mr.. Roebuck asked whether
Government had any objection to lay before
the House the negotiations between this coun
try and the United States on the subject of the
disputed Oregon territory? His reason for ask
ing was to be found in existing circumstance
in the United States; though he was the las
man who would desire to cast slur on grea
nation. He understood, that in 1918 con
vention was entered into between this country
and the United States, the purport of which
was, that the territory in dispute upon the Ore
gon should be considered as a matter upon
which no determination had been come to, ant
that the whole question should be left OPEN
Under these circumstances the House Of Re-
representatives. had passed bill for Settling
this territory. The English were not, he be-
lieved, people at all accustomed to buster
OF express themselves in manner which
should rouse the indignation of those will
whom they conducted negotiations; but it mus
be apparent to everybody that this was mos
| extraordinary proceeding. IL 1t arose from the
