LIVERPOOL, Oct. 27.-Joseph Chamber
lain addressed another monster meeting in
the Hippodrome here tonight. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the Work
ingmen's Conservative Association, and the
5000 persons present gave the former
colonial secretary tremendous reception.
1t was organized as an Offset to the recent
action of representatives of labor unions
in various places III denouncing Mr.. Cham
berlain's tariff and preferential proposals.
Mr.. Chamberlain devoted the first portion
of his speech TO the dumping" of the
manufactures of the United States and
| Germany in this country. which, he said
| must result in depression after the present
prosperity. With regard to the cry of
'Dearer food" he pledged himself that his
proposals would not add anything TO the
cost of living; on the contrary. they would
decrease the cost of living to the poorest
families in the country.
The speaker devoted the greater part of
| his speech. which lasted for an hour and a
half to a powerful argument addressed to
| the working classes of the United Kingdom.
to whom he appealed against their leaders.
He pointed out the fact hitherto overlooked
by his opponents that when the movement
for free trade was carried the working
classes were neither represented nor con-
suited, but it was a movement of the manu-
| facturers and the middle class people. Now
| that the working classes were represented
| in Parliament, their support was absolutely
essential to the carrying out of his pro-
pOsals, which, he said, meant more employ
ment
Emphasizing the statement that it was
| impossible to reconcile free trade with
| trades unionsm, Mr.. Chamberlain pointed
| out the Inconsistency of supporting policy
which admitted the product Of the cheapest
| kind of labor without taxation. He believed
| the working classes of the United Kingdom
| were more advanced than many of their
| leaders, and said If this were true he was
confident his proposals would win.
The meeting adopted resolution eulogiz-
| ing Mr.. Chamberlain services indorsing
the governments fiscal policy and declaring
| the advisabilty of binding the empire more
| closely together.

In this cogent declaration he opens his

stantial narrative of his part i'm the affair

father fired the shots which killed the farm

father had a black record and would GER
tainly suffer death, took the guilt on him.
