From, The DAILY News


stay n this country viii be very short The crowds that
awaited her every station her journey from Liverpool
20 Glasgow show how great the desire TO OBTAIN mere
seht OF her This is natural enough but we had hoped
that when the staring and the hrst eagorneSS OF
welcome past should be able to obtain in peace and
quiet, from who knows so much, s1me Information
which may be useful for practical guidance. The occasion
ola service like hers too great and too serious TO be aus
posed OF with compliments and empty enthusiasm on the
one hand and recrmnsuon and vupersuon on the other
book written for the relief OF an oppressed heart ana go
ing out 10 stir the hearts OF whole nations no theme LOT
attery or occasion for such spiritual pashme as the most
ordinary of May meetings are expected to yeI ana
il worse still to fan into tanntng snd pickering about ma
tiona faults and misfortunes. Having got Mrs stowe
among us hoped TO keep her and her husband long
enough 10 learn great deal from them Of what must be u
der the surface and all round about the suoectmaer OF
Unce Toms Cabin" But they say they must make haste
home and be hard at work again In The United States oy

From this first address derive one TACT which Is oil
the highest Importance that should consider Professor
Stowe agrees with all other authorities in saying that sugar
and rice would not support American slavery ana 'nas
IL depended those products would die IN year No
British traveller in the United States can have any douo Oh
this lie could almost count the estates on the low lying
lands which grow rce and he observes that cruel rs Is
the aspect of slavery in the sugar growing districts they
ARE narrowly circumsbrbed that the ned States have
10 import sugar largely for their own consumption And
tobacco is no great grievance Besides that the toll Is
light in comparison with that Of sugar and cotton growing
slaves by millions. IL Is the cotton thai Is ue NSe'ge
Ground OF slavery So Professor Stowe tells us and so
we have often been told before and we always Ike TO hear
H. because think If this be true that we see way out

the hour when he landed in Liverpool TO that in which he
addressed the citizens of Glasgow In this country sad

thing is can live without supporting American slavery
That's question 20 which thousands uow feel no hest

American slavery and without aeyng ourselves Of cot
