LONDON, June 13.-The annual dinner
of the Golden Club took place tonight.
Among the speakers was Sir Charles
Dixie, who said that although England
had great interests in Egypt the other
European powers were also entitled TO o
voice in the settlement of the future Of
that country.
In respect to Ireland, he said he
desired for that country the same forms
of goc government as for England. He
urged Englishmen to give Ireland the
same municipal and imperial franchise as
enjoyed by themselves. Englishmen, he
said, have no conception of the imperfec-
tons of the municipal government or the
meaning of the grand jury system or
grievance imposed upon the people of
Cork, Limerick and Belfast.
The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain
agreed with the sentiments expressed by |
Sir Charles Dixie. Mr.. Chamberlain said; |
1--WE are unable to congratulate ourselves |
ON any great recent conversion to free
trade principles, but that il is to be re-
GREETED more for protectionist countries
than for our own" Continuing, he said
that despite the exceptional depression in
business, he ventured to state that Eng.
lands general trade was more prosperous
than that Of any country in the world.
| Comparing the trade of England
with that of America, Mr.. Chamberlain
read extracts from the report of Mr..
| McCulloch, recently American Secretary
of the Treasury, ON American over-pro-
/ duction, and referred to the marked in
| crease of failures in America as compared
| with the decrease in England, and quoted
from a commercial agency's report on the
reduction Of wages TO show the disadvan-
tages of the protective system. The
shipping trade, he said, was almost en-
tirely in the hands of English
ship-owners. The American iron
trade is most heavily protected,
yet there are in that country $4,000
unemployed iron workers. The English
boot and shoe trade is 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 considered in
digenous to America, our exports to the
United States nearly equalled the imports
to England, while in the British colonies
and elsewhere English goods are pushing
American goods out OF the markets.
| Turning to politics, Mr. Chamberlain
said he could conceive no nobler nor
more genial task of reformed parlia-
ment than to carry out the Legislation
expounded by Sir Charles Dixie.
The speeches of Mr.. Chamberlain and
Sir Charles Dixie will, it is thought, make
great sensation. They are regarded as
II direct bid by the Radicals for an Irish
alliance against both Wings and Tories.
