speech of MIR. Golden.


during tie preeept ,eseion of the Englsh House o.
Commons is that ia which Mr.. Golden, on August
reviewed the policy Of the Palmerston Ministry. We
give few passages:
Itel him now--for It is the best thing to be plain
and OPEN and say il TO Bis face, for don want T.

that lie has been irst and foremost IN all Tie eX
Jravag.ut expenditure OF the hat twenty years.
l"Hear. j have s0metm. sat down end tried IL
fetle IL my own mind what amount OF money The no.
bic lord has cost tbs country. From 1915, eating
from tlat Syrian business which first occssiOned q
permanent rise iii estmates-by the way IN
which, in conjunction With The late Admiral Napier,
he constantly stimulated ana worried SIR Robert

with all Its consequences Ot increased NJ htary en-
pendiure-the least can put the noble lord down

hear" and lsugh.l Now, with all his ineIits, !
think lie il very dear at the price. Laughter

honorable gentleman opposite IN 1885 TO the budget

this country. He has 0een tie greatest asitstor
know 10 favor of eXiensive establishments. Hear,
besrl IL has always been, either Ill this House,
at Lord Mayors fessr, or al "a school meeting or
rifle corps meeting, d medieval ceremony, such
as the installation OF Lord Warden Of the CinQre
Ports az Dover, cry Of danger and invasion from
France. II is very Curious aud extraordinary
thing. The noble lord and hs friends came INTO
office on TWO grOunGs-that they would give us 6.
better reform bill than honorable gentlemen oppoiie
and that they were the party which could always
keep us on friendly terms with France. II has
ended in their kicking reform out OF existence
altogether lcheersl, ind we have had nothing but "a
cry Of invasion from France ever since loheers.I
do not believe the country or the House is at all
aware that we are at present without a iieet.
shall now, with tie permission OF The House, read
an extract from an American paper, TO snow what ID
thought on the subject the otter eide OF the At
lsntic. This is passage from an article in q late
number Of Tie Ner- York Evening Post, IN which
the writer says:

Give gentlemen their own way, and say The noble
lord bad not full reason to believe thai The whole

difference in what about TO state. The frontier
OF Canada is Theoretically closed by ice AID snow
,util the month of March. The noble lord hurried
over 600 or 10 900 troops to Nova Scotia and New
Rrunswjck and many 10 my knowledge are there
III and have not reached Canada al all. The
rohle lord sent supplies and sledges which oil the
no,ses in Canada could not have drawn, but must
Ioye becn nut upon the eledgc OF the country, go
,h,t the sooner they were burnt the better. All
these hasty rash proceedings were zone before tne
noble lord would wait TO bear wnat the answer wa

million of money in that way-moDey when WOu'

people In Lancashire-was a wanton waste oi puV

icy Of the noble lord, which bias always been
sensation policy, the object being 10 govern IN
