CITE OUR TARIFF
rs A WARNING
PREMIER ASQUITH SAYS 1T is
TRIUMPH FOR AMERICAN
TRUSTS.
BRlTONS DON'T WANT DUTIES.
America and Germany in Worse Shape
Financially Than England with
Direct Taxes
HOUSE VOTES ITS CONFIDENCE

LONDON,July 24-Addressing a meet
ing of city men in defense of the budget,
Premier Asquith declared the only alter
native offered to Chancellor Lloyd
Georges proposals for raising the new
revenue necessary was the introduction
of a tariff, but the Liberals, he said,
would not look at any suggestions for Il
tariff.
1.-Two great countries. the two greatest
commercial rivals we have in the world"
continued the premier, have been trying
their hands at tariff fabrications for the
last two or three years. Germany for
two years has had in operation Il full
blown scieutitic tariff, and Germans def
cit is much greater than our own, and
it has already caused the downfall of
one of the most powerful ministers III
Europe.
America Not Content.
"And if we look on the other side of
the Atlantic they have just completed
a revision OF the Dingley tariff. 1t is not
for us to speak disrespectfully or find
pleasure and complacency i'll the troubles,
struggles and misfortunes of our friends
and neighbors, but when we are told that
the sovereign remedy for our financial
troubles is to create in Great Britain
what has been created in Germany
and what is just being recreated III
America-a general tariff-we are en-
titled to look to the experience of those
who have adopted these methods.
And what is the case of the new
American tariff? Why, as far as | can
make out it is universally condemned
by the whole American press and re
garded by American people as triumph
of particular interests over general IN
terests, for they see trusts and monopo'
lies reintrenched and reinforced in their
long and too victorious campaign against
the consumer"
Public Opinion Strong
Mr.. Asquith added that unless there
was n revolutionary change in public
opinion here it would be impossible to
carry a general tariff through the Brit
ish House of Commons.
A vote of confidence in the govern
ment's financial proposals, following the
premier's speech, was carried unani-
mously.

house Mr. Morgan has built large library, where he
amasses various collections Of books manuscripts and

Mr. Carnegie has built immense palaces all over

European would consider hardly worthy Of man OF

European journals tell frequently almost unbelievable

American luxury and European luxury. The cry
about American extravaganza had its origin not IN
