They don't hurt me, unless the cabbages or
oranges don't happen to be sufficiently

shouting of the idiots in front Of me to the

During debate in she House of Lords on
Friday Lord Beaconsfeld acknowledged that
the depression of the agricultural Interests
was unprecedented, but said the depression
was anticipated when protection was abo-
ished. Ii was estimated that the public
wealth had diminished $50 900 900 and the
area Of land under cultivation had dimin-
ished 900 900 acres. English industry and
commerce however, kept well on a level
with those Of foreign countries. They suf-
iered only from low prices, the cause OF
which was partly the depreciation Of silver.
Lord Beaeonsfield believed that proposed
inquiry regarding the depression Of agricul-
tural and commercial interests would be
without result, but possibly an inquiry as to
the change in value Of the precious metals
and its effect on English industry might
hereafter be desirable.
