GLADSTONE ON SUFFRAGE.


An Expression OF His Views ON the Ques-
tion by the Son Of England's Foremost
Statesman.
MIR. Gladstone was much blamed by
English advocates of woman suffrage
for refusing to include women in his
franchise bill by which suffrage was
extended to the agricultural laborers
and other persons previously excluded
from it Mr.. Gladstone acknowledged
that the women had exercised munich
pal suffrage ''without detriment and
with great advantage" He intimated
that when tho question of Parliament
airy suffrage for women came up rs an
Independent measure. he would sup
port it; but he was unwilling to associ-
ate the women with the agricultural
laborers in his bill at the time, for fear
of defeating the bill. He wanted the
rights of the agricultural laborers to be
secured first. The women felt that
this resembled the Hindoo-custom by
which all the men of the family have
their dinner first, and the women then
make their meal off tho leavings. They
represented, also. that there had been
much greater demand for suffrage on
the part of the women than on the part
of the agricultural laborers. and they
felt it hard that their claims should be
postponed to those of body of men
who had scarcely shown enough inter-
est in their own enfranchisement to
get up single petition, or hold a single
public meeting. However, there was
no help for it. Mr.. Herbert Gladstone,
the son of the ex-premier. has just
written letter declaring his belief in
woman Suffrage. and giving his rea-
sons. rs follows:
My experience. such as it is. every
year leads me to believe more and
more strongly that the social and COM
mercial position of women is not what
it should be; and that. consciously or
unconsciOusly. men do not give them
fair play. speaking generally. where
there is. or where they suspect q dan
ger of competition.
1.-The evil in London is very great,
and don't think it is getting less.
Their wages are starvation; the result
is obvious and disastrous.
Further, don't think women get
full justice from the law. Sometimes
the law is to blame. but more often tho
of it.
..Now. things won't be remedied
without great pressure Of some kind.
and l fail to see how this pressure can
be got except by giving the vote to
women. When they have the franchise
they will not only have powerful
lever for their own interests. but the
possession Of it will inevitably lead
them to combine. Then they will get |
full justice from us. am only giving
in very general and somewhat vague
manner my feelings and views OH this
very great question.
You will observe that l only con-
sent for myself to extend the suffrage
to spinstcrs and widows. l know the
position is illogical and full of incon-
but l can't help this no
