q to waver at the stresses. which were
- too palpable in thu and.
The customs lii was cut down from

Gladstone's easy r. lstery of trade details
= caused him to be flowed with close i'll
4. terest by the oppre sed trades and classes.
He still held out however, and MADE
speeches against f. 20 corn, but the atti-
tude OF the press, The poets and the cities
was too Threatening not to be felt.
AS president of he board of trade I'M
der Peel, Gladstone introduced a bill
In 1913 to abefish The restrictions on the
expectation of machinery. 1t was then
supposed that to |et British machinery
be sent to other Countries would be to
teach them the II manufacturing arts and
injure British WOO lens and cottons. He
also assisted to pass a liberal railway act.
Nevertheless his Scottish and Liver
pool bigotry prompted him to tender his
resignation when Peel granted money to
a Roman Catholic college in Ireland. OF
course there was a Protestant accession
to his popularity thereupon. Too much
of an E"nglishman, however, not to fol-
low the changed channels Of opinion,
Gladstone published a book in his thirty
sixth year intimating that the liberali-
cation of trade had always disappointed
those who opposed it and improved the
public condition.
1T has been supposed that Sir Robert
Peel read this book and changed his own
views suddenly, but it is probable that
Golden and his young manufacturing
school had altogether more influence over
Peel than Mr.. Gladstone's essays.
Peel offended the Tories. but no min
lstry could be formed without him. and
when he reconstructed his cabinet he
gave Gladstone the colonial secrytary-
ship, which had just been vacated bv
Lord Stanley, afterward the Earl of
Derby.
Thus az Is Gladstone had altered all
his modes Of thought. AS the Duke f
Newcastle adhered to protection on farm
products, Gladstone resigned, but in the
private capacity went to the assistance
of Sir Robert Peel.
A great Irish famine precipitated
events in 1876. The duty on imported
grain was reduced to 81 a quarter in
stead of nearly So. Nevertheless a Dor
ton of this sax remained till 1860.
In the mollent of his victory Peel was

Speaking frequently in parliament d

and brilliant speaker. The two t
