AN IMPORTANT SPEECH.

On Nov. 28 Mr Gladstone was a participant in the exercise attending the formal opening of a hall at Port Sunlight near Birkenhead. He made an address of considerable length, devoting much attention to reviewing Lord Salisbury’s arguments in his Birmingham speech, and declared

that Lord Salisbury seemed ignorant of what was going on in the British Empire. Lord Salisbury had called Horae Rule “ capsuled medicine.” Doubtless he was

an authority on physic, as he had to take several nasty doses in recent years, like that at the Molton election. Lord Salisbury had talked of coming massacres and cruelty in Ireland if the Home Rule Bill passed. The Premier was like a silly nursemaid, who, when unable to pacify a child by rational means, tried to frighten it with stories of hob-goblins. Let people dismiss such imaginations. They must be patient till Lord Salisbury gave them an opportunity of

deciding the question, then they would see such bubbles thrown into the air, and a reign of justice and good sense restored in politics. Two of the reasons for

placing Home Rule in the van of the Liberal policy wore justice to Ireland and the necessity for clearing the road for other legislation. Speaking on the Labour question, Mr Gladstone said the problem could be solved only by sound civil, secular and Christian feeling, apd a respect for natural rights. Prpftt sharing was attractive, hid there was the question of what to do when there was a loss instead of a profit. Strikes were adapted to what he might call a rude state of industry. Much might be hoped for from co- operation in distribution and production toward : L solution of the problem, because this

would give the labourer the same! position and feeling as the capitalist Jj.i an eloquent orutiqu My Gladstone appealed to his hearers to give the workers, besides an increase of wages and a decrease of hours, a sense of common feeling with their employers ; to establish a brotherhood of man and man; to look to the heart and conscience, as well as to appetite and ambition, for a solution of this difficulty, and above all, to look to the Providence that shapes our ends, and recollect the sacred words, “ Behold, how good and pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”
