In The House of Lords, the Earl Of Claren-
don rose TO complain, that as between England
and the United States the favorS were all on one
side, English merchants complained, as he con-
sidered Justly, of The loss inflicted ON them BY The
IN ha TInitpd STATES tariff of uvlS,
1912 Under the Goth section of the new tarlff,
FOODS coming from England which were shipped
Before the Imposition ui the new duties was
known, were exposed 10 ruinous duties 70 me
extent Of go or 100 per cent on silk goods, and
100 on cotton goods Goods from the Eastward

with the United States, which provided that no
duty should be imposed on goods from England
higher Than was imposed on goods from any
other country. By the change. single House
10 Glasgow had lost f3 900, and the total loss to
British merchants was estimated at t20OOOO
