CAUTION.
ut is but an act of common friendship TO
caution our fellow couutrymen that il will
require more than a mere majority OF cer-
tain trades highly organized. more
than mere majority of all
the trades over the country,
SO to bind the minority thst they shall be
subject to aoercive penal proceedings IL mn
WI ling or unable in justice to themselves
and to those dependent on them to accept
the standard of fifty six hours proposed to be
imposed on them. tCheersl. | give no abb
solute Judgment of the question. 1t has not
YET py the bulk of the country been suf-
hclently examined. recommend much cir
cumspection, much careful examination be-
fore proceeding with steps which may
prove irretrievable. Therefore IL ought not
to be prematnrely adopted (Cheers)
ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERING.
AT the conclusion of Mr. Gladstone's
speech there was an outburst of enthusiastic
cheering. which was prolonged for several
minutes Sir William Vernon Harcourt pro-
posed vote of thanks to Mr. Gladstone aud
to the chairman. Mr.. Morley seconded the
motion. Both speakers eulogIzed the great
Leader, Mr.. Morley adding that he had at
tended seven meetings Of the liberal feder-
alton, but had never seen one SO full of
good omens for tho future. The proceed
lnss closed with the singing of "Auld Lang
Syne"
MUCH TO BE DONE.
But much remains to be done. Labor
representation in parliament must be ex-
tended. As far as it has gone it
has been thoroughly satisfactory and
has done enormous good l
can hardly say it admits of an addition Of
moral force. An addition of numerical
force is not only desirable, but is in the high
est degree urgent. [CheersI Nothing proves
more distinctly the soundness OF heart and
mind OF the people Of England than the
choice made Of labor representatives.
fCheers.l Let us give them scope to chose
few more men of the same kind, not few,
but good many. Those charged with the
central management of affairs Of the party
will exhibit the utmost disposition to assist
wherever constituency is found favorable
to the claims of labor candidates
CERTAIN CONSEQUENCES.
"If we have more labor candidates, Ger
tain consequences follow. Thus the neoes-
sary expenses Of elections should not bs
drawn from the pockets of candidates, but
should be charged upon tho ratepayers as
necessary function. The cost justly per
tains to the public purse. Their labor
members cannot be fined for confer
ring the boon of their services
upon the public Constituencies must
bear tho cost of their residence in London.
Nothing can be clearer than the title OF such
members to receive such aid from the public
treasury as will enable them to discharge
the task imposed upon them for the public
benefit.
HOURS OF LABOR.
Coming to the difficult questions lately
raised in regard to the hours of labor, |
view with satisfaction and sympathy and
with the hveliest pleasure the large re0uc-
tions in the amount of toll exacted which
my fellowcitzens have achieved in the last
| twenty years. l wish well TO all further
| reductions that 1t may be possible to
achieve without violation Of the rights OF
any man." [Cheers.
