RETALIATION PROPOSED.
The American Tariff in the Eng.
IIsh House of Commons.

LONDON, June 20.-In the House of Com
mons this evening Howard Vincent asked if
the government would require America to
modify the duties upon British products le-
fore modifying the rules governing the i'm
portation of cattle into Great Britain.
Sir James Ferguson explained that the re-
strictions upon cattle imports were based
solely on sanitary considerations, without
regard to the fiscal systems of other nations.
Mr.. Vincent thereupon laid upon the
House table the notice of motion that as
the American tariffs will inflict great injury
upon trade in Sheffield and British traders
and artisans generally, the House consider
whether free market ought to be longer
given to the competing products of for
eign country which puts prohibitory tariff
on British goods. Conservative cheers.
