The speech of Congressman Wilson
at the banquet given in his honor by
the London chamber of commerce and
his introduction by Sir Albert Kaye
Rollitt, who presided at that banquet.
are the franlest expressions that have
been given to the public in defense of
the new tariff law. Mr.. Wilson is the
leader of the democratic majority in
the house OF representatives OF the
United States and he is well qualified
TO speak for the democratic party re-
garding its tariff legislation. Sir Al
fred *. Rollitt was put forward to
speak for the English manufacturers
and traders. Mr.. Wilson spoke for
the intent of the law and MIR. Rollitt
testified to its benefits. Mr.. Wilson
declared that 1.-The tariff reformers are
breaking down these defcuses" that
kept England from competing with us
in our home market. Mr.. liollitt tes-
tilted To the impetus the law had
already given TO English manufac-
lures.
Gov. Mckinley, in his speech ut Gal.
lipolis n few days ago made most APP
propriate reference to this banquet
when he inquired what industries had
been benefited and stimulated by the
tariff act of 1894. and said:
Il find answer 10 my question In the news
paper dispatches of to-day from London, fur
nishing particulars OF a banquet given 10y the
chamle Of commerce OF London to Mr.. VIII
son, member of congress ram the state O;
West Virginia, whose rugged hillsides ] see

miliar In England, and that London in honor
ing him honorcd itself; that the new tariff law
while IL might not have realized the asplra-
tions OF its promoters, had already benefited
England. Furnaces have been reoponed IL
Wales and Yorkshire, and an impetus has beer
given to the textile industries.

the IDLE men who, for more than a year. have

1t Is very necessary in order to keep
the freshness OF flowers that they
should be carefully and frequently at
tended ia. OF course they will not last
80 long in hot weather as in cool. All
flowers with feshy stalks should be
stripped before being placed in water,
and the vases should only be half filled,
in order that the stalks may not decay
as soon as they would otherwise do.
Palms require very judicious treatment;
a summer draught is even more harm
full to them than hard winter weather.
They should be watersd in the evening.
