absolutist power for Hungary was obliged to
pay for cotton manufactures, which here in Eng
land can be bought for ES or 10, t20 or f22,
because OF the importation taxes. Therefore,
IN this great market, England almost, it not
quite, in an open loyal manner, has not parta-
ken 5s.; not To speak Of smuggling. What is
The market Of Russia for English manufactures =!
II not by smuggling, very small, very insignif-
cant. Here you the direction of absolutsm.
Now see the direction of freedom, of liberty,
which have the honor to represent for my
country. The very day when Hungary pro-
claimed lis Independence, and entrusted me to
be the chief, The governor ofmy i'll fated country
my first deed was to send instructions to my re-
personalities in England to make known to the
English government that the barriers of Hunpa-
ry had fallen. and that Hungary was open to the
industry of England. Hear, hcar] 1t is not my
fault that very little profit made out of il.
Hear. have proved the direction of freedom
in respect to industry and trade, Hear hear |
Now, my lord and gentlemen, only to think for
9 single moment that as the Russian principle
triumphs over the continent end il is sad the
Car has put his foot upon Hungary's neck,
and this step was only degree to that immense
preponderance it has on the contnent-only
think for a single moment, az the Russian and
Austrian principle Of absoluiism triumphs on
the continent, what must be the cor equence
for the industry and trade Of England A new
continent like that Of Bonaparte, on absolutist,
because prohbitory principles 1t will stop, it
it must stop, rs through the liberty of English
commerce the triumph ofabsOutism would meet,
again and again, principle, the shock of which
absoutism cannot stand Only think Of such a
triumph of absolutsm, of such stoppage on the
continent to the trade and industry of England !!
l. - l..
triumph of absoutist principles, to stop the
trade Of England only for short period. You
would have to go to war against the word-you
must. You must send your fleets, as your fore
fathers did, to protect the interests in England
Yon would spend millions, and torrents of blood,
to get freedom for the trade, for the industry of
England, or else England or else London-now
the fairest spot on earth, now the place where
only exists social ORDER not by terrorism, but
by liberty--ths glorious place would inevitably
decline. Hear near. But you have not to
spend money, blood, TO insure this harmony
this connection of the welfare of the world with
the industry of England; there is an immense
market for the industry of England at your
very doors, with Europe free.
We have struggled in Hungary for that Free
dom-for the principle connected with freedom,
of free trade, 2 ID the free intercourse of ma
tons. Hungary, restored to its independence
and ita liberty, is equal to proclaiming to the
world that the principle of absoutism is crushed
on the continent; and, were this principle
crushed, there is no impediment any more to the
free intercourse of nations. You Rave seen we
struggled for that principle; you have given
your sympathy for the past, your wishes for the
future let me repeat, let them not remain bar
rem. Hear hear. Perhaps tire you. No

place is the financial. My lord and gentlemen,
London is the regulator of the public credit and
of the money market of the world. These few
words spoken to you suffice to state the i'm.
mense importance of this principle. Well, if
London is the regulator of the public credit of
the world, and if very considerable quantity of
the loan shares every government in the world
are concentrated here in London, let me ask
where is the security of those loans! Where is
the possibility to see paid The money under the
governments of the world? Hear, hear l.
the security in the victory of absoutist principle,
or is it the victory of the principle of freedom
Hear hear. Take despotic governments
what is their blsis of existence! Is it the love
of the nations! Oh, how could the principle OF
despo.ism be love? Love in such case is
contribution to our nature. Hear, hear Is
perhaps the basis of the absoluti3t governments
contentment of the nations How can men be
contented without freedom! Hear, hear
What is the connection of the principle of ab
solutlsm! 1t can be marked out in few words
-" People, pay, because want soldiers and
spies, and to be your illimitable master" How
could the principle of these nations be content
ment! Hear Therefore, what is the basis of
their existence! Immense costly armies, and
not less costly diplomatic intrigues Hear.
Tho Of tho pan,la -
vide for all those necessities, not for the wei.
fare not for the happiness of the nations, but to
keep them in servitude. Therefore, the abso-
lutist governments must come again and again
to the money markets to get some loans. Every
new loan, in whatever unproductve manner APP
piled, dminishes the resources out of which it
should be paid and when the same goes on
again and again, who could take the guarantee
upon himself for the nations of the world with
their eternal loans, employed, not for their bene
fit, but against their benefit, and against their
liberty l-who could take the guarantee upon
him that once these nations, grooming under
their material sufierings, will not say, " Let him
pay who has made the debt we made it Eot?"
Here /, the prospect which absolutist prnei
pies point out in that respect. But there is
prospect, especially to the house of Austria
That prospect is inevitable bankruptcy You
know how 1t is where a government has often
need to make loans, and where it is in necessity
to make, for instance, now a new loan of $4,000,
600, for the purpose of restoring the balance the
financial system in Austriq. Oh, no only TO
get through three or four months, and then to
get new loan the interest Of these new loans
has to be added to the expenditure of the gov
eminent. Men without any enthusiasm, earnest
ly bordering this state Of the house of Austria,
must confess that the very early prospect, unless
a erted by restored liberty, Is bankruptcy.-l
[ Hear, hear. Now, will beg leave to state to
you, in very few words what prospect is pre-
scented to the financial principle by the freedom
and liberty the world Since left Kutayab,
had occasion to stop for short time in differ. |
ent parts of Europe, on the shores Of Italy, in |
France, in Lisbon. | had the honor TO meet the /
free offerings Of most noble sympathy, the
most cheering welcome everywhere. Whyl- |
Because am taken for the humble representa-.
tive of the principle of freedom for my past
And what is my pastl My past is, that have
undertaken TO give political and social freedom
to the whole people to make free their soil,
tree their labor, free their trade but in the same
time TO spare, and not to hurt, but to protect
