TO FELLOW TOwNsMEN
Joseph ChamberIain Spoke on the
Tnrim Question.

London. Nov. 4.-Joseph Chamber
lain made speech tonight to 5000 of
his fellow townsmen at Bingley Hail.
Birmingham. 1t was by far the larg-
est audience the former colonial sec
rotary had faced during the fiscal
campaign, and the enthusiasm. na:-
urally, exceeded the remarkable scenes
witnessed in the other cities, and was
emphasized by the Chamberlainite vic
tory at yesterdays municipal election
in Birmingham.
After dealing with conditions during
the past fifty years under free trade
and quoting figures to sustain his ar
gument, Mr.. Chamberlain commented
on Cobden's position, and quoted Coz
den as saying the United States would
eventually abandon manufacturing. and
that their workmen would go hack
to the land and dig and delve for us -
Americans, however, said MIR. Cham
berlain, had not so conceived their ma
tional destiny, and did not believe that
they were created by providence to dig
and delve and pillow for the benefit Of
Great Britain. Mr.. Chamberlain said
he did not blame the United States.
but he appealed 10 Englishmen to saw
whether they would adhere to the OLD
system or ADOPT another which would
prevent the American invasion.
