GRANVILLE ON TIL TARIFF

He Is Sure That This Country Will be
the Great st Stuff srsr.
LONDON, Oct. 20.-In a speech at New
castle to-day Lord Granville said that the
tories pretended that they were confident
of the result of appealing to the country,
yet they delayed dissolving parliament as
long as possible. Referring to the new
American tariff, he said: Exaggerated
language has been used with regard to the
Mckinley tariff, which will not injure
us as mucn as was expected.
1t is certain to be more injurious to Amer
ica herself" He added that the measure
would tell against American farmers and
ar isans, and eventually against American
manufacturers He supposed that
America still desired TO export, but she
would only get her exports paid for by
imports. But for Canada's pro-
tective duties it would be impossi-
BILE to prevent Wholesale smuggling. The
speaker said he wished particularly to ex-
press the opinion that the new law was not
enacted out OF hostility TO England After
generally censuring tne government for its
policy toward Ireland he strongly con-
demned tine practice Of 'shadowing" from
which he said, "even the felun in England is
exempt"
Mr.. Chaplin, president of the board of
agriculture, speaking at Stafford, said that
although the Mckinley and meat inspection
laws were iDtended to bring pressure upon
him to admit American cattle freely, 1t
would be his duty to go straight on as IL
these measures had never been passed.
