O~ASTELLAR'S VIEWS.

The statesman and orator, Senior
CASTELAR,, made n long speech in the
Spanish chamber of deputies, last
Tuesday. In reviewing the European
situation he censured the policy of a
constant Increase of ornaments and the
policy of conquest, and drew a compar-
ison between military and industrial
nations. Spain, he said, ought to fol-
low the policy of peace aud progress
and avoid %cOnquests. He referred
%elOqucntly to the benefits to be derived
from u general disarmament and de-
Tended the interests OF Spain IN MOroc-
co, but declared that the time for a
military conquest was past. Referring
to internal questions he advocated free
trade as beneficial to the working
classes. lie applauded the principles
of the present cabinet, pointing out the
conquests of liberty and democracy in
Spain, and declared that if the same
principles were continued the present
monarchy might become the most re-
markable of the present time.

of wool which they can't use, and the
prices are necessarily forced down. 1t
is also a fact that the larger part OF the
