A coMMeRcIAL FEDERATION.
Free Trade and Protection Discussed I'm
tho British House ef Commons.


tho British House Of Commons.
IBy Anglo-AmerIcan cable 70 the Dspatch.l
LONDON. February 17.--In che House of
Commons this afternoon Mr.. Vincent
moved that the Government at the earliest
opportunity invite the British colonies to
o conference in London 20 debate the best
means Of forming q Zollverein He con-
tended that the imperial federation was
only 10 be obtained through commercial
federation. Many OF the leading colonial
statesmen and Others favored commercial
federation.
AN ISyUpfcIous MOVEMENT.
Sir Lyon Playfair criticised tile motion
as covering the protectionist movement.
He argued that owing 10 the varied in
terest Of the colonies q Zollverien was inn
practicable. He quoted statistics showing
the increase of British trade during
the present regime. He contended
that il would be most injudicious
10 arrest the reaction in America
against the excessive protection in
duced by the Mckinley law by imposing
differential duties against America for the
benefit Of the colonies. Considering all
the circumstances, there was no basis 10
Justify Parliament in inviting the colonies
to conference. In conclusion, he eK-
pressed the hope for an ultimate union Of
the colonies on q free-trade basis.
no REAL FBKE-TRADE PARTY.
Mr.. Lowther declared that there was no
real free-trade party in America, and that
the whole world. with the exception of
England, was becoming protectionist. He
SAID: Unless we give our colonies COM
mercial facilities we had better make up
our minds to vacate the imperial position"
THE CANADIAN ELECTIONS.
Mr.. Goschen, Chancellor Of the Exche-
quer, said that whatever might be the fate
Uf the motion England had no desire
to influence the Canadian elections.
He sympathized with some points in
Mr.. Vincent's speech He believed
that the increasing desire for closer
union between England and the colonies
ought to be fostered. He also conceded
that many of the views of Adam Smith
and John Stuart Mill had lost the authority
they formerly exerted, and that it was no
longer possible to denouhce the opposing
views as clap-trap. Still, he must hold to
what was sound IN their views, and he
hoped that the suspicious of lurking pro-
lection would not retard the union Of the
colonies.
NO TAX ON CORN.
While he granted that the country must
be prepared for some fiscal changes in the
interests of that union, the colonists must
understand that it was impossible for Eng
land to tax corn. Cheers;l There
was no likelihood that the. colo
MES would consent to conference
ON q free-trade basis. There only re-
manned dilferential duties, and he failed to
see how they could be imposed. 1t seemed
TO him, therefore, that a conference would
be merely an invitation to follow a will
o. the wisp.n Vincent withdrew his mo-
tiOn.

Il has long been matter Of surprise to
