EMPIRE’S TRADE.

OPINION OF THE TIMES.

By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright

London, Aug. 31,

A conference of representatives of cooperative societies and trade unionists in Newcastle affirmed the advantage of freetrade, and urged the workers to resist the attempt to subvert it. The Times, commenting on the growing importance of Australian settlement in the country and throughout the bush districts under the Commonwealth administration, and the tendency to resist apprehended entanglements with interests abroad, wherein they think they have no concern, urges tho necessity for Mr Chamberlain's fiscal enquiry to ascertain the possibility of strengthening the material bonds binding England and the co’onies, convincing the colonists that their main interests will be within the Empire. The paper adds that the almost universal view held here regarding our mutual relations is that England is tho head of the family, but only as an eldest son among brothers. ■
