I RETALIATION AT WORK. Radicals have three objections to the Conserva- tive and Unionist policy of Retaliation. They say: (1.) That it cannot be effective. (2.) That it would injure us more than Foreign Nations. (3.) That Foreign Nations would be offended. These statements are not true. HERE AKEWBE PROOFS: In 1860, Mr. COBDEN was able to arrange a commercial treaty with France, greatly to the benefit of our Exports. WE HAD .SOMETHING TO BARGAIN WITH IN THOSE DAYS. A year or two ago, France and Italy reduced their tariffs on each other's goods. Germany has a very high tariff which she uses to bargain with. Practically all countries have bargained with Germany. Her high tariff per- suaded them. The United States told LORD LANSDOWNE that they had a right to make special tariff arrangements with any country they pleased. Is Retaliation an effective policy ? Would it injure ua ? Would Foreign countries take it badly ? No. They would be ready to come to terms. They cannot afford to quarrel with us. We are the best customer of the United States, Germany, France and Spain; the second best of Russia, Austria-Hungary and Holland; the third best of Belgium. The Conservatives and Unionists ask you to give them something to bargain with-the Power of Retaliation. It is the way to get fair trade; in fact, it is the only way to secure KEAL Free Trade. SUGAR. READ BOTH SIDES. BEET SUGAR. SUPPLY IN TONS- 1903-4- 5,882,000 1S04-5••• Ml 4,950,000 1 DECREASE 932,000 Cause of Decrease—DROUGHT. If the Unionists had not got foreign countries to do away with the Bounties, there would not have been the large increase in Cane Sugar; the eupply would have been less and the PRICE HIGHER. CANE SUGAR. SUPPLY IN TONS- 1903-4. 6,613,000 1904-5. 6,890,000 INCREASE 277,000 Cause of Increase—Sugar Bounties done away with, the principal cause. We have had 18,000 more tons of Cane Sugar from the West Indies alone. The supply of Cane Sugar is greater, for the I growers have got fair play) Instead of being dependent on one source of supply, as was rapidly becoming the case owing to Foreign Bounties, England, in future, will ( have two sources of supply. ,o-I' TLLBL FISCA L POLICY OF THE CONSERVATIVE AND UNIONIST PARTY DOES NOT INCLUDE A TAX ON FOOD. It will NOT RAISE the price of bread. It will NOT makp the loaf any smaller. It will NOT INCREASE the cost of living. But it WILL DO AWAY with unfair foreign trade. It WILL make the way for our exports easier. It is NOT a policy of Protection. It IS a policy to secure real FREE TRADE. IS THIS FAIR PLAY? Look at these Figures and decide for yourself. WHAT BRITISH GOODS HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST. Here are some examples of Foreign Tariffs:- On every £ 1 of goods we sell to— RUSSIA we have to pay El 6 0 UNITED STATES „ ti 15 0 AUSTRIA HUNGARY » 7 0 FRANCE. » h 7 0 GERMANY "It 5 0 SUPPORT the Unionist Policy of FISCAL REFORM, and get these Tariffs lowered, which 60 years of Free Imports has failed to do. ARE WE BEING RUINED BY FREE IMPORTS? Read what SiR HENRY CAMPBELL BANNERMAN, M.P., the Radical Prime Minister said at Perth, on June 5, 1903: "There is about 30 per cent. of our population underfed, on the verge of hunger. Thirty per cent. of 41 millions comes to something over 12 millions. About 30 per cent. of the population is living in the grip of perpetual poverty." Daily News, June 6,1903. IS THIS THE RESULT OF OVER HALF-A. CENTURY OF INDISCRIMINATELY FREE IMPORTSII For this unsatisfactory state of the people, the Radical Party offers no remedy. AGRICULTURISTS: DON'T BE HUMBUGGED! The Radicate say they are in favour of cheap Food. B BO, Why did they mot vote for the Agri- cultural Rates Act in 1896, 1900, and in 1905, wtidh Reduced the Taxation on AgxicuifcturaJ Laod, aaid 'necessarily reduced taxation on the pDodOOtsof Agricultural Laud-Food, Cattle* «tc..a jik- LET THEM PRACTICE WHAT, TUff PREACH. »* 'Iff ';<è: Kririor the Unionist Cagdiftiel CL, c.
