MEETING or THE COBDEN CLUB.
LORD FARRER OF ABINGER EXPRESSES HIS
QUALIFICATION AT THE ELECTION
M'EINIEY.


QUALIFICATION AT THE ELECTION
OF MKINLEY
London Nov q "A meeting of the Golden Ciup
was held at the rooms Of the National Liberal Ciuo
to-day. Among the speakers was Lord Farrer OF
Abinger formerly Sir Thomas Henry Farrer. the
author Of Free Trade VS.. Fair Trade and other
economic works. Lord Farrer expressed MS satls-
faction that Mr. Chamberlain's proposals for an
Imperial Zollverein had fallen fiat. both at nome
and in the colonies, he was opposed TO free
trade that meant only free trade with the colonies
and protection against foreign countries. lie was
gratifed at the election of Mckinley to the Ameri-
can Presidency. though he was merely the lesser
evil II Bryan had not appeared az a candidate
he would have thought Mckinley the worst pos
slble man for the Presidency.
Lord Playfair said: THE issues at stake In the
recent American Presidential election involved
questions of constitutional government and also the
question of our faith in the democracy. lf Bryan
had been elected that faith would have been shat
tered and the commercial panic which would have
ensued would have been enormous. But far more
serious than a commercial panic would have been
our loss Of faith in the democracy OF the world
Speaking of his personal observations In the
United States during the Presidential campaign
Lord Playfair said he felt required to say that the
silvertes not dishonest. but mistaken Free
trade was not an issue in the contest with the ex-
ception that ii was mentioned in some or McHlh-
leys speeches In view of the fact that the pivot
of the election was sound money. the world ought
to feel glad of the result. 1t would be long tme.
he predicted before the ardent protectonists OF
the United States would seek to change the ex-
States had many questions OF their own TO solve
and he had no doubt that they would take advan-
tage of the opportunity to deal WITH dt ne SussUn m
tempt bring about q revival or high protection
