The Golden Club.
LONDON, June IA The annual din
ner OF the Golden club took place to.
night.
Among the speakers were Sir
Charles Dixie, who said that although
England had great interests in Egypt,
the other European powers were
also entitled to voice in the
settlement OF the future of that
country. Those powers, however,
ought TO give guarantee for the neu,
trality of Egypt similar to that estab-
fishing the neutrality of Belgium. he
believed the cooperation of the powers
and the porte would insure tranquility
In Egypt. In respect to Ireland he
said he desired for that country the
~
as for England. He urged the Eng
lisbmen to give Ireland the same
municipal and imperial franchises as
enjoyed by themselves. Englishmen,
he said, have no conception OF the inn
perfection OF municipal government or
the meaning Of the grand jury system
or the grievances imposed upon the pee :
pie of Cork, Limerick and Belfast.
These people are compelled to obtain
the sanction of England for every
small private hill affecting local inter
ests. These abuses, he contended,
were source of weakness and danger
to the English connection.
The Right Hon. James Chamber
lain agreed with the sentiments ex.
pressed by Sir Charles Dixie. MIR.
Chamberlain said we are unable to
congratulate ourselves on any great
recent conversion to free-trade princi-
pies. but that Is to be regretted more
for the pro.ectionist countries than for
our own. Continuing, he said that,
despite the exceptional depression in
business, he ventured to state that
England's general trade was more
prosperous than that of any country
in the world. Comparing the
trade of Eogland with that OF
America MIR. Chamberlain read ex-
tracts from the reports OF Mr.. MeCul-
loch, recently American secretary of
the treasury on American overproduc-
ton, and referred to the marked in
crease OF failures in America, as com.
paved with the decrease in England.
and quoted from commercial agencys 8
report on the reduction of wages to
show the disadvantages of the protect
i've system. The shipping trade, he
said. was almost entirely in the hands
of English ship owners. The Ameri.
can iron trade Is most heavily
protected, yet there are In that coun-
try 10000 unemployed iron workers.
The English boot and shoe trade 10 also
increasing and has driven
American and French goods
from every neutral market,
the American traders being burdened
by heavy duties on leather. Even in
clocks and watches, which are consid-
cred indigenous TO America, our ex,
ports to the United States nearly
tqualed the imports to England, while
IN the British colonies and elsewhere
English goods are pushing American
goods out of the markets. In regard
10 the WOODEN trade Mr.. Chamberlain
stated that there was no reason on
earth why America should not com,
pste with England except tor
the high tariff in America. The mum
Der OF persons employed has decreased
and wages have fallen IS to 20 peI
cent American exports had largely
decreased, while English exports q
textile and wooden fabrics HAYS
doubled. The tax on corn imnossd

, farming. ~
