The Important Question.
"The tariff question, VIII ch is now before

of the day, and the people should be thor

that the farming element is the backbone
of this government, or any other free gov

understand this question, so that they car
choose between free trade and protection
one of which would be ruinous to the

LONDON, July l2.-In the house of COM
mons last evening Howard Vincent asked
the government if, in view of the fact that
free market had been accorded to Amer
lean imports to Great Britain, while the
heavy duties imposed upon British goods
had nearly extinguished the national debt
of the United States, the government
would invite America to refrain from en-
forcing the prohibitory tariffs now before
congress, but instead give fair commercial
reciprocity FERGUSON said that no such
representations were likely to be success
full. He was further questioned as to what
action Germany proposed to take in the
suggested development of free trade be-
tween England and also between Great
Britain and the colonies as an Offset to
the hostile tariff in America. He replied
that the government had reason to believe
that Germany did not intend to take any
action in the matter at present.

Parnell closed the debate raised on mo
ton to reduce the salary of Chief Secre-
tary Balfour As he was anxious, he said,
that the a33, OO0, 600 proposed under the
land purchase bill shonld be used to the
best advantage, to settle the question he
suggested that the constabulary be en-
ployed during the autumn in obtaining
returns of the estates in Munster and Con-
naught, showing the rents paid respective
ly by occupying and non-occupying ten
ants. If that course were taken Balfour
| would find the magnitude of the problem
he had undertaken enormously reduced.
He would be enabled to so modify the bill
| that the available fund would go much
further than he had any idea of. Balfour
thanked Parnell for his moderation, and
promised to consider the suggestion.
