Protection Demanded fer the English
Farmers.
LONDON, November 15th.-Right Hon. |
Henry Chaplin, NJ. P, has created consid- !
erable alarm by a speech to the land
owners, tenant-farmers and laborers in
Lincolnshire, in which he limited very
strongly at Protection as remedy for the
present depression in English agriculture
and manufacture. He said that wheat
could no longer be cultivated at profit in
England, and the depression was affecting
other branches of industry. The destruc-
ton of wheat-growing was danger which
the Government could not ignore The
country must decide what it would do in
the face Of so great danger. The duty ON
foreign manufactured articles might be
remedy. If the proceeds of any such duty
were devoted. for instance, to the encour-
agement of wheat-growing in this country,
it would obviate the great danger to which
he alluded, and would tend to the
improvement of both the trade and agri-
culture of the Kingdom, while still
maintaining to the utmost extent the
present cheap prices of food for the people.
He did not see why there should not be
considerable reform in the fiscal system,
by which taxation might be lightened and
the foreign producer who used English
markets be compelled to pay his fair share
towards the revenue of the country. Chap
Inns speech has created a great sensation
here. While there is growing belief in
the necessity of protection as the only sal
vation of the farmers, who have been re-
duced to the last extremity by the impor-
tation, free of duty, of products from
America and elsewhere nobody had the
courage to give it expression. It will not,
therefore, cause much surprise if protective
measures are strongly urged upon Parlia-
ment during the next session. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, said to-day that protection would
undoubtedly help to raise a party to ride
into power in the event Of another Parlia-
mentary election.
