BALTIMORE, MD, October THE
Baltimore Sun correspondent boArded
the New York as she came up freu
quarantine and carried to Mr.. Wilson
the first home news he had received for
some time. His attention was called to
the SUMS report of the speech Of Major
Mckinley, commenting on the London
speech and the Chamber of Commerce
dinner. He read this attentively, and
putting down the paper, remarked that
the best answer TO all this is the speech
l delivered, and which Major Mckinley
is criticising.
"If Major Mckinley is rightly re-
ported he has simply garbled my speech
by taking the first half OF sentence
to twist it in one way and emitting the
last half, which showed it could not be
SC used l knew full well that what
ever might say on such an occasion
would be thus garbled and falsely pre-
sented to the American people by pro.
tectionist speakers snd papers, and so l
did what seldom DO, or have time to
do, dictated and gave Reuters Press
full and accurate copy of my remarks
in advance.
my speech was reported fairly we'll
in the London Times, and called forth
the long editorial in that paper next
dav from which Major Mckinley aud
his followers may take all the comfort
they can draw. mean now, that II has
been so garbled,
TO PUBLISH THE SPEECH IN FULL
aud spread it over my district. II is just
what have been saying aud shall con-
tinue 10 say TO my own people.
II went abroad at my doctors sug-
gestion TO shake off my unsDeakable
fatigue so as to take as much part as l
could 10 the campaign. In England, l
visited friends at Oxford and Cam
bridge. Everybody being, in London
phrase, out Of town, saw few public
men. The dinner rendered me was, /
felt, toe great an honor 10 my country
and myself TO decline, coming from the
greatest chamber Of the world, and |
accepted, feeling that l could not
show my appreciation of it
better than speaking as an Ameri-
can citizen and exactly as | speak
here at home. 10 this l was not de-
ceived. My speech was received by the
whole audience % the spirit in which it
was made, and while many, perhaps most
OF them, may have disagreed with me, |
found more than one long-headed Eng
lishman who agreed that our reduced
tariff would make US great cOmpeti-
tor 10 the worlds markets, and event
ually regain our share OF Che carry
ing trade OF the world"
In London Mr.. Wilson paid not the
slightest attention to politics and saw
few public men except at the Chamber
of Commerce dinner. The English pub
Tic men, he said, so far seem to know
but little of the new tariff, and he heard
not many expressions OF opinions on the
subject But, as general rule, the
English people always welcome any
thing that will promote trade.
MIR. Isador Straus here lnterposed and
declared that Mr.. Wilson
WITH CHARACTERISTIC MoDEsTY,
had tried hard to conceal himself and
keep out of public notice. But the
hospitable English business men had
learned OF his presence in London and
insisted on being hospitsble. The en-
tertaiuers, Mr.. Strauss added, are the
greatest merchants of the world, and
the compliment paid TO Mr. Wilson as
a tribute to mis- distinguished ability
and great reputation as a patriot is one
that few Americans have received In a
foreign country.
Mr.. Wilson repeated that he was per-
fectly we'll aware OF the use the RsDuo-
licanS would make of the incident, but
to have refused it be saidr>would have
been III bred, churish and cowardly.
Mr.. Wilson was asked whether he
had made any investigation about
trusts" in England.
~ did not this time" be replied,
''but when l was in England In 1889,
did, and discussed the subject in
series OF articles wrote for the Sun al

written from England. Trusts, as We
know them. of course. cannot exist in
Great Britain. Where the whole world
is free to come in and compete, no
trusts cGn corner the 10 arket."
With regard to coal, NJ. Wilson
understands that the English syndicate
which formerly owned the Nova Scotia
mines
WAS MUCH PLEASED
at getting rid of the property. Prac-
tjcally bunker coal was OF the free list
in the Mckinley bill. Foreign steam
ships could and can buy Nova Scotia
coal At Boston, New York or any Amer
ican port free OF duty, and yet they pre-
fer to buy the Maryland aud Virginia
coal. This fact alone ought TO do away
with the scare about free coal.
"lf you should unfortunately be de-
feated for the House." observed Mr.
Strauss, "I have no doubt the people of
West Virginia will insist on puEtiAg
you in the Senate"
II much prefer the House" Mr..
son replied. sit is far greater q
more valuable field"
Mr.. Wilson purposes to begin his Cd
vass st once. The time is too snort Il
