THE LECTURE SEASON.

LIsH AND AMERICAN MANUFACTURES BEFORE
THE FREE TRADE CLUB.
Mr.. William d. Marvel delivered last evening an
address in the series of parlor lectures announced
some weeks ago by the New York Free Trade Club at
their club house. No 81 West Twenty fourth street.
He took for his subject .Our kin Beyond Sea, ="
choosing the title of Mr.. Gladstoncs recent article
in the North Ameraean Rerie- He quoted from this
article briefly in beginning his address and declared
that the English statesmans prediction that America
is to become what England now is 1.-The employer OF
all employed" was an artful statement, which was
to many of our people sweet morsel swallowed
without reflection. His hopes of the greatness
of America. Mr.. Marvel declared. wero second
to none, but he hoped never TO dream OF
tho time when America would in any
manner menace Englands commercial and
manufacturing supremacy. Political affairs III
England he observed. had assumed such position
that Mr. Gladstone had been SET aside. snartnS
with resentment, he had sough. to publish his dis
appointment to the world. The lecturer. however.
desired to honor England with all sincerity. She
not the poor old cripple she sometimes repre-
scented to be. Her Empire extended around the world
and she had achieved the empire OF commerce. With
out her patronage America would be to-day poor
indeed. Her machinery created demand for nearly
S2oo,o0oo0O worth OF raw cotton alone each year.
Americas interest was not i'll menacing England or
any other nation was in the most enlarged diver
sty OF employ ments for the whole world. America
was not TO devote herself exclusively to agrieu-

Manufactures were NECESSARY but when fostered

detriment OF which he spoke that of misdirccted
capital Manufactures in this country in every Iii,
rection going to ruin because OF misdirectcd
in iron and steel manufactures were source Of great
PRIDE but their cost TO the people at large had best
not be considered for two reasons First the ind
rect cost to the people would Brighten them; second
that though this was permanent in yestuent
this forcing was questionable Taking il for granted
that henceforth our manufacturing interests would
advance steadily how could they be made permanent
and their growth in numbers commensurate with de-
