an eloquent tribute TO the late Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt and said there
was no member Of Parliament regard
less Of party but would sincerely and
deeply regret the passing of that great
political leader
on the fiscal proposition, Chamber
lain said IL was not a party question,
but affected every vital interest of the
country. He dwelt at considerable
length on the agricultural situation and
painted a gloomy picture Of present
conditions. predicted that there is
worse TO come and said agriculture had
been crippled and land values shrunk
by hundreds Of millions.
The capital Of farmers, he said, had
fallen one billion dollars. There are
now fewer laborers by a million than

ference with the colonies marked a dis
rinct advance but BslfOur should not
delay. he should call the conference al
once and see what terms could be
made with the colonies.
Chamberlain saw only one blemish
