The correspondent of the associated
press has had an interview with Lord
Revelstoke on the subject of the lat
ter's visit to America. from which he
has just returned. Referring to the
present rush to form trusts and syndi-
Gates in America, Lord Revelstoke,
who is director of the Bank of Eng
land and member of the banking
house of Barring Bros. & Co., limited,
said:
These combines appear to be of inn
mense advantage. Wildcat schemes VIII
undoubtedly be formulated from time
to time, but great organizations of in
dustTy in America have. in my opinion,
in most cases resulted in undoubted
economy of labor and expense of man
agememt and have been beneficial in
financial and other results. Englishmen
hardly yet appreciate the force and po-
tentialty of the present movement, hut
there will soon be a Tevulsion of public
opinion in favor of these combinations.
America is going forward by leaps and
bounds and will make things extremely
uncomfortable for British industry if
we of England do not recognize that
vast capital enterprises as opposed to
more limited individual venture can
only end in favor of the former, ard
that is where America is now getting
her pull. The great copper combine has
put all other speculative interests into
the shade. The railroad share market
is most apathetic and the open accounts
in Yankees in London has been re
duced to the minimum. But this IS
only a temporary phase. Another SIX
months will see a great change
Lord Revelstoke concluded the inter
view by saying that "a visit ito America
is an institution ITSELF
Politically the event of the week Wss
the speech of Earl Rosebury before the
London Liberal club yesterday evening,
which is the leading topic of discussion
to-day. The speech was tantamount to
about face on the part of the earl who
expressed his desire for a revival of the
old liberal spirit that prevailed prior TO
1886 and said that he regretted the di-
vision occasoned by the home rule
question. His onslaught on ''hideous
political apathy and his tracing of the
decay of parliamentary liberalism to
home rule, it is thought, may be the
forerunner of his return to the head of
a united liberal party. The e'tress which
Lord Rosebury laid upon imperialism
has given the impression that he would
be willing to give it home rules place
in the liberal programme, quietly drop
ping home rule.
