held here this evening, Lord Salisbury
delivered an address in which he referred
briefly to the crisis which has been

polioysby personal sympathy or religious
proclivities and sentiment
They were trustees of great nations
interests and obligations, which they
were bound to maintain above everything
else. If they nlanfully did their duty
under the circumstances, it would pro-
mote, as no other course of conouct
could do, ,freedomsand injustice and above
all European pence upon which all COM
meroial industry and well-being must
depend.
The premier's remarks were received
with loud cheers The speech through

mand for gold, and thus increases the
purchasing power of an ounce OF gold

ciers are, to large extent, the owners

American people must pay.
Is it wise to allow these financiers to
fasten the gold standard upon the

increasing the purchasing power of our

cordance with the ideas of those who
favor the imposition of discriminating

bear upon Attorney General McKenna
from very influential quarters.
President Mckinley himself does not
agree with his legal adviser in this
matter, and has tried to convince him
that he has taken the wrong view OF
the meaning of the section. Thus faI
he has not been successful, and if MI
McKenna persists in his opinion the
only way the president can obtain one
in accordance with his own views is
to get q new attorney general.
There is no suggestion that any
thing of this kind is contemplated
however, and unless the attorney gen
eral is convinced to the contrary be-
fore his opinion is made public, 1t viii
hold that section % is practically Of nc
more effect than if it had never beer
enacted, except as to the direct impor
tations of goods from Canada which
do not originate in that country.
Advocates of the discriminating
duties are determined not to let the
matter rest on the attorney generals
decision, if it is adverse to them. They
will take steps at once to bring 9
test case under section % and carry
the matter to the courts until they OBJ

the section from the supreme court OF
