foreign productions, enjoy a monopoly
of the trade and regulate the price as
they please. Hon. Knute Nelson was
complimented and the Mills bill ap-
proved. The Hon e. M. Wilson was

which will be read with particular in

fact Balf0ur is boasting the organiza-
tion is dying out in both Great Britain

from the report of the Executive of the
Irish National League of Great Brit

gathering Ut Che body in Birmingham
in d short time, and they are a record
of remarkable progress. The organiza.
ti0n was formed short time after the
National League in Ireland in 1882.
At it's first convention In 1855 there
were but ifty-two branches of the or.
ganizauion, and the majority of these
paid 10 subscriptions, Next year the
number Of branches rose to 127; in 1885
they went up to go, in 1886 to 423, last
year they were "a, and this year The

present the members have steadily and
faithfully performed their duty in this
respect. and the bye elections have
proved an excellent test of the effect of
their labors. 1t is most satisfactory to

side with the Libsrsv1 candidate, and
the result was one Of the most striking
Home Rule victories since the Genera:
Election. The general observations of
the report under this particular head
aye as follows:
The Executive will have no hesita-
ton in throwing all it's weight in all
such disputes On the side of the unity
Of the Liberal party. Their preference,
when other things are equal, is for la
Dor candidates, and for the most adj
vanced claims that can be reasonably
put forward Oh the part of the working
classes, but they have not yet accepted
the doctrine that it is better at this
crisis to lose with labor than to viii,
with a middle class candidate. The
success oil the Irish cause has been due
to the indexible discipline and unbrok.
en- unity of the Irish Party and OF
the Irish people in general. and the Elk
ecutive consider that it is only by sim
liar methods that the ranks Of the
party of progress can overcome the
forces of privilege and wealth against
which they are fighting.
The report concludes with a warm
and grateful acknowledgement Of the
incalculable services which Mr.. Glad
stone has rendered to the Irish cause.
