~ Premier expressed sorrow for the death oil
I'D Lytton. and said that the fame of That
dnouatist world long remain. Referring TO
~. tariff question he said that on all sides there
.r,sared constantly increasing protective duties.
mich were calculated To stifle British trade. The
..o,sction beresv on which the tariffs were
,..rded grew like other evil passions, upon that
An which il fed. Watching English statistics, he
amid not but feel anxiety lest the efforts OF
,.,s;rn protectiOnists should be partially sue
,,wpl The errors of foreign statesmen might
10 translated to Great Britain. Undoubtedly
British trade was being hindered for the moment
br foreign legislation. Continuing, he said
we have had trouble in the rural dis
,rrts where no longer can employment be OBJ
tanned as formerly Men have had TO seek
desperate remedy by moving into towns. The
Government will seize with avidity any measures
promising legitimately 10 increase employment Tor
laborers either in town or in rural districts.
One of the most acute Of the Government
anAieties. the speaker continued, was the TACT
that people in their ignorance tried remedies
which, if obtained, would plunge them into
far greater misery. The Government had
narrow path to tread. 1t must
avoid dangerous apathy in attempting to
cure suffering by simply ignoring the causes. On
the other hand, il must shun the far more dan
eerous course of wandering into economic errors
that might plunge the whole country into lrrep
arabic disaster lie concluded his address by
congratuating the Liberal Unionsts their steady
adhesion TO the Conservative alliance:
Joseph Chamberlain referred to the widening
gulf separating the dissidents from the Gladston-
ians. lie said he once hoped for a speedy reunion,
hut now he neither looked for nor desired re-
union. Whatever vicisstudes prOtracted the
struggle. the Unonists would march shoulder TO
shoulder with the Conservatives until they hnally
defeaied the conspiracy the ntegrity OF the
Umpire. lie predicted that Englands foreign rela-
should again come into power, thus giving effect
10 views against the Drebund. The recent ut
tennces of Mr. Gladstone about Egypt were an
additional reason why the dissidents should try
10 prevent change of Government IL was not
necessary 10 ask Lord Salisbury for pledges on
entering into competition with the authors of the
Newcastle nag of tricks programme. The joint
efforts Of Unionists and Conservatives would both
save the country from disinte9ratlon ana give TIE
people legislation based upon true democratic in
stincts Cheers
