opposition. No English right had been obtained without
hard work and good pushing. Often men who had gained
rights were baptised with tears and suffering; the right
of free speech, of free meetings, of governing ourselves—
(end that is not fully gained yet, at least, In the countin)
—and tint one which comes home so closely to every one
—the right to eat untaxed bread, an I have • cheap loaf in
the oupboard,—these rights were won by a few brave
men, and often against tne great mus rf their country-
men. And no, the labourer, had perfect right to join to-
gether to make the best bargain for their labour. (Applause)
Secondly, the union brought men together, and gives •
power not to be gained when men We single and mitutrate.
He did not want to see them use that power for strikes,
for strikes are always accompanied by great walls, fun&
are used up which are needed for other purposes;
_and the
benefit fund often comes to an sad by the end of the
strike. Then again, all Englishmen, after once beginning
to fight, forget after • time chat they were fighting about,
and on both sides they only care to win. All are resolute,
&ea every Engliehman sets—" I cannot go out of this
fight till I hare won." (Hear, hear.) Again, the micros
can do te tier things than conducting strikes. When wages
were low in one put of thu country they had carried away
the labourer to another part, anal they might be used fair
so removing labourers to ether parts, or even to other
pounpias, where wages me higher. (Hear, hear.) Unice'
also, he hoped, would turn their attention to land and
buildieg meiotic", and gradually acquire bits of land,
small properties, and sell them off to the members. But
up to the present time we have laws preventing the sale
and purchase of land. He did not want to take away the
property of anyone; though Meows sense they might be a
misfortune, he only wanted to take away the laws which
prevent these great properties from being broken up and
sold. Some laws prevent • man being the real owner—
trout selling awsy half an acre if he wishes it It these
laws were taken away Isodowners would he glad to Nell,
and bits of land would he found by and by. in the bands
of those who have the °mirage to struggle and become
owners of property. (Applause.) Another use for
unions was co-operation. 'We have heard of co-opera-
tive stores or farms, and see excellent ca-operative
shops set up even in ranged, where are sold good and
cheap ar t Cla. f r ready mousy. Foe such purview, as well
as for the protection and shifting of labour. may unions be
so usefuL (Applause.) rat stand up for unions is to stand
up for the right of men to do the best for themselves, to
use their own judgment; the union enables men acting
torether to do things they cannot do singly. There is WS
another roasts fir the union—because the union will end
at la 4 in producing better feelings between employer and
employed. That may to some be a hard saying ; because
if one thing has been said about unions it is that they were
going to make the labourer and the farmer quarreL He
did not le hove that, because • man moat be independent
before be e•• be • good friend. If he were bound under,
so that ho must take what another gives, it was impossible
to tell what the receiver's attachment is worth. Verhen •
man is indepandent—swlten he can leave his master and go
to another—then if he is a good friend to his master, and
takes care of his master'a isteresta, he does it as • free man,
and that is worth a good deal. (Applause.) Let them
try to keep upend increase the goodwill between employer
and employed. It wee our interest to do so, bemuse such
goodwill is worth to this country many millions of pomade
1 great competition exists between this and other
countries in the supply of provisions and manufactures,
and that country whom employers and employed are on
the best terms, depend upon it, will b. thank, isaagly
helped In the competition, and more than by many other
advantages, if labour and capital are always quarrelling
together we shall be beaten in the competition—as to who
sun .„h cheapest—by other nations. Goodwill has
therefore a money value. But lastly, it is our duty as far
as as can to Ilve in pesos and friendliness. He asked
every man to stand up for his right, and did not believe
In any roan giving up his dein for the sake of peace or
anything else ; but when a man has stood for Wedeln and
quietly maintained them, abstain from everything
in word or deed that may cause annoyance. He Ic thed
the use of a certain word in the bills =noun e
meeting—the word "slave," for that would give o ince,
since no man likes to be called • slave-waster, and we
ought to be forbearing in coed and deed. If any word he
could say would increase their desire to nand up for their
rights, or would increaae the good feeling between the
employed and employers, he should he very glad and
satisfied to have come amongst them. (Applause.)

Dr. MOoailital). in &spirited speech, proposed the toast of
" The Army, Navy, and. Volunteers. ' He had never pro-
Crude toast with greater Pleasure. Me brought
tie
the gallant deeds of the Zulu and Afghan Wars,
of Rorke's Drift, and the names of Brornhead, Chard, and
others, to prove that our soldiers of the present day were
true sons of our forefathers, who helped to confer upon
our country the power and the pre-eminence it enjoyed.
(Applause.) With regard to the navy they were quite as
able as of old to maintain the honour and glory of
England,
" Whose flag has braved • thousand years
The battle and the breeze."
(Applause.) As to the volunteers it was • grand thine to
see young men training themselves to protect the honour
of old England. (lieu, hear.) With the toast he coupled
the names of Captain Tretor for the army, and Lieut.
George for the volunteers.
Captain Parma first replied. In the course of his
remarks be said there was no falling off, so far as he
could sea, in the pluck and determination of the
soldiers of the present day. The only fault which he
should like toes, remedied was the present system of short
service instead of the old system. Ile did not believe,
however, that pluck and determination would ever be
wanting. for Englishmen would fight for their country.
(Applause) As to the navy, it wee a perfect safeguard.
(Rear, hear.) The gallant captain concluded by atomis-
ing hts great pleasure at being present, and by se.ing
them every success. (Applause.)
Lieut. Ggoaog responded on behalf of the vxduntsern
He was afraid he could not point to deeds of the pee* '
but let them remember the volunteers were Englishmen
as well as the army and navy, and if their services were I
ever required they would act as Englishmen and do that
duty whatever they might be called. (Lxid applause.)
He was pleased to say the reserve forms were increasing
in number and efficiency every year. The last report from
the Government showed that there were over 1100,000 !
men enrolled, and he thought when they considered that
large number of men, as well as the immense number
of men that had passed them/6 the ranks, and while
there had made themselves efficient in their drill and in
the use of the riffs, and supposing we were invaded they
would again join the reelishm they considered all
this, it would be a very bold enemy indeed who would
dare to invade our shores, and if they did they would go I
back much quicker than they came, and some of them
vr,uld not go back at ail. (Loud applause.)
