MR, LOWE AT GLASGOW.

At Glaagow on Thursday afternoon, Mr. Lowe, IL P.,
war presented with the freedom of the city. Every
corner ,d the oily hall wee weeded. •
Mr. Lows, in returning thinks, referred to the subject
of strikes. He oombated the prevalent Impressioa
that strikes could permanently raise the price of com-
modities or Gould be of lasting benefit to the
classes. Just in proportion as priors were
most the demand be diminished. Foreign tompetition
brought about the discovery of substitute, or the rapply
of the original artiste was thereased from abroad, or if
neither of these resound wee potable, people oontested
themselves with a smaller consumption, and lees of the
article being thus manufactured, • eartain proportioa
of labour ruust be turned out of employment. Those
who remained in employment got lager wages, and so
one port of the trade was sainthood to the other. But
this pert would not lout remain • gainer, for the
increued priors would Indoor, the manufasiturers to
flood the trade, machinery would be employed to beet
down prisms, and thus there would be no perfumes*
Improvement anywhere. Injury would be done to om
set of penmen' without gain to the other. Noticing the
feeling that has grown up for Government interferes°,
and management, he expressed himself in favour of
cot-fining Government to governing. He justified by
the result his refusal to sohsorthe to the Livingstone
expedition. Be went on—lreland has • grievaam—
(great laughter)—a grievroca which I have been soared
fully-thstlfies any amount of agitation for 11.11411 Role,
and that grievalthe Is tide—The fisheries of Ireland
have very much declined. I usenet my why. I asked
a witness In • oornmittee In the Bosse of Gorman,
what was the Fuson, and he said they had emu up
the fisheries browse they were so much dimosraged by
the bad hsrveet —(laughter and applause). But Ido
nut think that could.have beeu the remion—illseigitte4
Whstever be the reason, however, It Is so, and now
they come to me and ads in. to lend them money on
personal security (laughter) —the security of the fisher-
men and the securities of tba priests probably—
(taaghter)—to lend them money in order to buy min
, and boats to resume these !Merle& I said I was not
in the Issisit of lending motley on personal
(iaughter)—and so the matter mane to an end. Est
they assured me that lf they had Boss* Role It would
hau been done at ones. I think they were right, end
I tell you why. Mr. Achmet ncatved as annual
from the Irish House of Oomatens to help hi.a with his
baths at Dnblin' until, en the ocriados of one of the
anneal dinners hewn, In the habit of giving to the
members of the House when the sompany. after dis-
agreeing on the question of bevies room or no wires
when leaving the house, west by =blab pail mell into
the baths--(latghter). After that the rabidly °eased.
That he stated as an example of ethat Home Rule had
done, and what was likely to happen when they should
hors it...(.poisueo). Ile thought that th• ,thestiou of
damages to America had been treated too fortaMly.
The Americus had wale out of the straggle eery =soh
irritated, and the object of the English Gootrowwwl
sod of the oottutry 1•11111 not to hive a loyal trhuaph ;
they acted, therefore, not aa lit:guts, but m Meade ;
and the money should be paid without murmur or
delay. Mr. Lowe concluded by observing that they
were satisfied with their work as • Geverboteste
ovoid abide by the judgment of posterity.
