THE BRITISH FARMERS.
They Want the Government to Re-

MRS. MAVERICK RECOVERING.
DIR. Il. Benjamin Andrews on the Inter-
national Monetary Conference-A Cabi-
net Crisis i'm Portugal-Great Failure
of the Nova Scotia Fish Catch.

LONDON, Dec. S.-A national conference
OF British agriculturists was held in st.
James Hall, Piccadilly, yesterd day in con-
formity with resolutions adopted by va
rious chambers OF agriculture throughout
Great Britain, to the effect that some de-
cisive step should be taken at once to re-
lieve the distressed condition of British
trade in general and OF British agriculture
in particular, and also declaring that no
permanent good can be attained without
some stringent measures being adopted
by which the British producer shall be-
placed upon footing where he can COM
pete with the foreign producer upon fairer
terms, especially as regards manufactured
goods.
Rt. Hon. James Lowther presided at the
agricultural conference, and st. James
Hall was crowded. The roll showed that
800 farmers societies were represented.
RI. Hon. Henry Chaplin, minister Of
agriculture in Lord Salisbury's cabinet,
the country was measurably near su-
preme disaster. The public, he declared,
had no idea OF the gravity of the crisis
Mr.. Chaplin declared that foreign COM
petition was not the only cause for the
fell in prices OF agricultural products.
The continuous rise in the value of gold
was quite as serious cause. The imme-
diate remedy for that would be return
to bimetallism, in regard to which, he
added, the statement on the subject re-
Gently made by Archbishop Walsh of
Dublin, was the most convincing ever
published.
Mr.. Chaplin said he earnestly hoped the
conference would adopt the principle OF
bimetallism.
VIM. Saunders, Radical member OF
Parliament, attempted to denounce pro-
lection, but was hooted down. He then at
tempted to offer an amendment to Mr.
Chaplin's resolution declaring that the
fall in prices Of agricultural products was
the natural result OF improved methods OF
production, but the conference refused to
allow 1t to be put to vote.
Francis Smith, member of the London
county council, said that a return to pro-
lection meant a return to bar barity. This
statement was greeted with boots and
yells, which were so long continued that
Mr.. Smith retired to his seat.
