The Protection League.
FEDERATION AND FREETRADS. | FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT ] Dunkdin, last night. At the annual meeting of the Protection League the report stated that the Committee had collected statistics showing that the tariff had been productive of benefit to mana* facturera in the colony. Mr Fish, M.H.R., declared that ths principle of Protection was iu danger, and the question of Federation was being used merely to revert to the principle of Freetrade. He felt certain that intercolonial Freetrade would ruin New Zealand industries and place the colony in a worse position than it was before Protection was adopted. A resolution was carried that any further adjustment of the tariff should be in the direction of leaving entirely free tbe necessaries of life which could not be produoed or manufactured iu tbe colony.
