Your Committee have the honour to report that they have had before them petitions and letters from the representatives of several manufacturing industries in the colony calling attention to certain anomalies in the tariff; but, as the Government have already intimated that they did not intend to deal with that question this session, the Committee has not gone so carefully into the applications as they otherwise would have done. Your Committee, however, have had sufficient evidence before them to show that an adjustment of the tariff is necessary. 27th September, 1893.
