MIR. BRIGHT ON THE CONDITION OF TIL
COUNTRY.

At recent meeting of the unemployed workpeople
in Birmingham, they passed memorial to the Queen,
prayipg for an extensive system of free emigration.
Their Chairman was requested to aek Mr.. Bright TO
present the memorial and to his communication lie has
received the following reply: .o MAJ. o, 1919
Dear Sly: When your memorial reaches me or
Mr. Scholefeld will at once take the usual course
with respect TO its presentation to the Queen.
81 am sorry to find that the unemployed should
be so numerous in Birmingham as to induce them TO
unite with a view to some public measure Tor tneir
relief At this moment, the unfavorabe Condition oil
of Europe, win account for much Of the suffering
which is being endured by the workingmen OF Eng
land. l confess, however, that can see no remedy
for large portion Of the mischief complained OF, so
long as find taxes constantly on the increase
and our national expenditure augmenting.
owe are now spending twenty millions year more
than we were spending only few years back and our
military expenses have doubled since the year 1883.
when the Duke of Wellington aud sir Robert Peel
in power.
"This year, l suppose, we shall rsiee In taxes at
least ESQ 900 sterling than viii require to be
raised by equal population, v ing. not IN England,
but in the United States of America Surely this will
account for much OF the evils which you, and the me
morialsts and the working classes generally suffer;
and am not surprised that sensible men should wish
to quit country where the burdens are so heavy and
the political privileges of threefourhs OF them are 80
few. Every man who is not prepared TO compel
better and more economical Government at home
should emigrate or the paupersm of bis day Will be
deeper and without remedy, in the days of his
children. l wish l was able to come to birmingham
and talk to you about these great questions.
Youi. ve,y respectfully JOHN BRIGHT"

THE VERY LATEST.


From The Daily her' (Ci's -irtcicj Of Tuc.d1g
The Stock Exchange remains extremely dull; the
tendency To-Day was rather toward depression TIE
funds closed per cent lower than yesterday The
opposition the Inoia bill is considered to mperi the
stability Of the Cabinet. Add to this the Indian loan
hangs in suspense and the aspect of politics in France
excites daily discussion. OF the various Stock Ex-
charge makets, that for English railway shares ex-
hbts chief depression. The falling off in the traffic
of most OF the lines in the Northern and Midland coun-
ties completely dscourages operations for higher
prices but almost unfavorsbe impression ls likewise
produced by the continuance of the reckless compe.
Tito n between the London and North Western and
Great Northern Companies.
In the discount market, the demand was rather more
active to day. The 9Th of the month is drawing near,
and con e heavy railway calls are falling due. The
rate in the open market however does not exceed y
to g per cent for irstc class bills, and the applications
at the Bank percent no Increase whatever. AT the
Bank to day there bullion operations Of im-
portsDoe. The foreign exchanges this afternoon
showed urdimnished frmness. Rather higher rates
were established fer bills Holland and Belgium, and
Ne months paper on PariP.
