ATTACK ON TARIFF REFORM.

London, Dec. s.-The political situa-
tion was rather quiet yesterday, present
ing no new striking features. The un
ionist leaders are still conspicuous BY
their silence in regard to the election
campaign. Winston Spencer Churchhill
president Of the board Of trade, who
thus far has been the most active on
the Liberal side, made another speech
lat Manchester. He pointed out that
the imposition Of tariff would exclude
imports which the Manchester Canal was
built to encourage. He instanced the
quintupled value Of the land in the vi
entity since the canal was built as a JUS
tidcation for placing the increment tax
in the budget. Lord Rothschild, Liber.
al Unionist, speaking at Tring, in Hert.
fordshire, declared himself a convert to
tariff reform.
