No Englishman stands higher on this
side of the water than the great commoner,
John Bright. His fast friendship and
outspoken advocacy of the cause of the
Union in our great civil struggle, won the
hearts OF all loyal Americans, and if he
would make this country visit he would
be made very thoroughly aware that the
service he then rendered us has not been
and never will be forgotten He is also
man of such broad philanthrophy such
sincerity and heartiness, such indepen-
dence and insight, that all his utterances
have especial interest. Whatever he says
of or to Americans will certainly always
have their attention, and well carry as
much weight with them as the words of
any other Englishman.
Our readers will thank us, therefore, for
copying, from the London Telegraph, the
report of Mr.. Bright's speech at the Fourth
of July dinner given in London by
Mr.. Cyrus w. Field. The listeners
to it formed distinguished company
of English and American statesmen,
among the latter being our townsmen Mr..
Edmunds and Mr.. Phelps and any occa-
sion would have been a notable one which
evoked such a speech as this.
Mr. Bright is a strong freetrader, and
it will trouble no one that he expressed
himself on that subject as well as some
others. OF course Mr.. Bright knows that
there is practically no such thing rs abso-
Lutte free trade. England has not got it,
and never had it. He alludes to English
tariffs in this speech and apparently does
not think it possible to abolish them. He
ought to know also that this country has
not shown any great objection to trading
with Canada. That there is not to-day
reciprocity of trade between the two coun-
tries, is not the fault of this country, but
of Canada, which by legislation subse-
quent to the establishment of the old re-
ciprocity treaty turned what was
true reciprocity into sham
reciprocity-one in which the advantage
was greatly on the side of Canada. This
country has no objection to trading with
England-th trade between the two
countries is enormous. 1t is all ques-
zion of the practical regulation of the
conditions of trade and the time will not
be here in hurry we fear, when nations
will decline to use the advantages i'll their
power, out of regard to the interests of
other nations. When the millennium comes
of course every man will love his nelghbor
as himself The trader or manufacturer
who happens to have superior natural adj
vantages for his business will regulate
his prices to suit his less favored brother
in the same business; and nations as well
as individuals, will regard the interests of
other nations as much as their own. Then
the fact that it would be the best thing
that could happen to English manufac-
turers to have the American market as
open to them as their own, will have more
weight on this side of the water than it has
now and as there will then be no grasp
ing on the part of the English manufacture
er, there will be no need of protection for
American industry. The millennium is not
here, yet, however. 1t would be nearer
no doubt, if all men were like John
