THE EAST WORCESTERSHIRE CONTEST.

SIR RICHARD TEMPLE AT HALESOWEN.
Oa .Wednesday afternoon a large meeting was
held at the house of Mr. Gil e,s Melley, New Inn,
Halesowen, in support of the Conservative candi-
dates for East Worcestershire.
Mr. F. D. Lea Smith presided. •
Sir lti.chard Temple said he WO.S glad to see that
theineeting was-coMposed mainly of Working men
for the working men of England formed one of the
most impote ant classes in the country. The wel-
fare ought net to be a matter of party controversy,
for it affected all pliticians alike, whether Liberal
or Conservative. 'llte other day one of the Liberal
organs laughed at him for giving what • was called
a local celouring to his speeches by alluding to the
industries and manufactures of the . place. He
thought they would all ;igia±e with him that it was
the duty of e%-ery candidate to study the affairs of
the men whose s:pport he asked far. The Conser-
vative party lisd doue a great amount of work in
the way of legislating for the working men They
might remember that the other day the Conser-
vative Government . arranged to ..remit all the
duties upon Manchester goods imported into
India. They were much blamed at the time by
Indian authorities for doing this, but at any rate
they did it for the sake of British industry and
manufactures. Our Empire abroad was mainly
sustained for the sake of British industry and
matuffactures. Some people said our Empire was
a Mere matter of sPntitnent and clap-trap. Those
who lived at home and were not obliged to work
for their living might say those wet of things, but
' for working men-it was a very sober reality, be-
cause it was on the preservation of our Empire
abroad that Many of th: ir markets depended If
they ioat their E.uphe abroad they would loesa their
tnarkets, and that wa the reason the Coes,etvatives
had taken so much
.trouble during th.• last few
y‘ ars to maintain our Empire—(hear, Lear). He
denied that the Conservative Government had been
the cause of the depression in trade. to 'Liaises
were, first of al, the great finaine in indla, then
great competition from America, ;thicii was
fostered by high protective tariffs. Tee Americans
were very much afraid of the English workmen,
and there!bre they placea on those tariffs. An-
other cause which c ,reributed to the famine was
the high protective tariffs in the coleniea. The
colonies also wished to foster their own industries
by means of protection. Thee there Were the bad
harvests in Frances bad trall in Germany, and bad
harvests in Southern Europe, all of which can ses
rendered our customers poor and unable to buy cur
manueadureg. If the Conservatives were to lie
charged with causing the bad trade, it would be
reasonable to charge the Liberals with causing
every misfortune which happened while they were
in office—(a Voice : " How about- the county
franchise ?"). The county franchise'cauld not be
tnanag d until there was a considerable redistri-
bali of seats. It would not do for the agricul-
tural districts to swamp the manufacturing and in-
dustrial riistricts, heither,. according to the English
rule of fair play, could they ask that the manu-
facturing disiricts should swamp the egricultural.
distti,es. The matter would have. been carried out
had t 1;(? Conservative Government remained in
power. Whether the Liberals would settle the
matter for them he did not know. The Liberals
were promislng to prevent foeign Governments
neakieig proteciive tariffs against English mane-
licturei s. He was sale), afraid these promises
would not be kept, Tee ~.onservatives were plain,
olunt Englishmen, and they took • Care never to
promise anything that could not be performed. The
Conservatives would do all fiat the working mqn
that possibly could be done at home and abroad,
and would look up !ri the interests of those workieg
men as their own.
Mr. E. Gem moved, "That Mr. Henry Allsopp
and Sir Rieliard Tempe are fit and proper peisons
ta represent the constituency of East Worcester-
shire." He pointed out the great difficulties that
Sir Richard Temple had overcome whilst he was
Governor of Bombay, and said that during the
Indian famine no man did more towards its
mitigation than he.
The motion was seconded by Mr. R. Colburn and
carried:
After the meeting was over and the supporters of
Sr Riceard had left a number of Liberals, under
the leadership of Mr. T. Homer, solici.or, a Liberal
age at, passed an adverse resolution.
