CARNARVON CONSERVATIVES j MAKING CAPITAL OUT OF THE SLATE TRADE; DEPRESSION. MR. ALFRED RICHARDS CRITICISES THE HERALD." icarnarvon Conservatism was well repre- sented at the Woiklingmen's ConservatIve Club, on Monday evening, when close up(,-j 430 of the members weq-e the guests of the President (Mr. Lloyd W. U. Hughes) at a dinner. The assembly-room, which h|ad bee.i tasteiiflly decorated by Mr. Thomas Jones, ith,e (custodian, was taxed to its utmost, {iapacity, but excellent arrangements had ibeen made for the atocommodtation of all by ithe secretary (Mr. Evan Morgain), and the best of good feteling prevailed both dur- ing the repast and the subsequent proceed- ings. The preparations for the feaslt and the .serving of the viands were in the hands t> £ Mrs. Cousins, Eryidon, and the lady members of the local branch of the Primrose [League, and the catering was efficiently done lbv Mr. Con!an, Coimnerc al Hotel. The President occupied the chair, and was Supported by the Mayor (ALderman J. P. •Gregory). Aldermen Issa-rd Davies and Rich- ard Thomas, Councillor Llovd Garter, Alfred Hicha-rdsi, M. !E<. Nee (secretary of the Car- narvonshire Constitutional Association), -Messrs. J. Heathootei Addie, Charles Wynn Griffith" J. H. Hayes, Dr. Thos. Junes, Rev. Hugh Jones, etc.. [The company present gave a hearty weloome to Air. L.oyd Carter, who had only just returned from Bournemouth, looking much the. better after his recent seri- i-vhh illness. Letters of apology for non-attendance were I received from Lord Penrhyn, Sir Ellis Xan- ney, Cdi. PlJatt, Col. Lloyd Evans, the Hon. F. G. Wynn, Mr. Assheton-Smnth, and Major Radcliffe. The President proposed the loyal toasts, prhich were musically honoured. Alderman Richard Thomas gave the toast of "The memory 0: St. David." He refeirred to the fact that one of the churches of the town was dedicated to St. David. The edifice (was erected when that generous and valiant .Welshman, the late Deian Edwards, was IVioar of Carnarvon, and the site wa given by a former squire of Coed Helen (app>ause.). He was gl-ad to see, that St. David's Day was being observed not cniy in Waies, but in jthe farthest regions of the qarth. Alderman Thomas criticised the action of the: Carnar- vonshire Education Committee in shutting out Bible teaching from the day schools. The committee's objot was to do away wit.1, ithe old country schools, which had done so much for education when there were no other achodis for the people (applause). There pwero many eminent people, occupying high positions in various parts of the earth, who had to thank the Church Schools for their education, which did not cost a penny to the ratepayers. It was different to-day. The ,Radical Education Authority in Carnarvon- ighire erected expensive schools, and decor- ated at the expense of the ratepayers, who were already over-burdened {'hear. hear). It was time they cfarefuUy considered who were their real friends—the pharisaical and covetous Radicals or the dis- jcipiep of Dewi Sant (applause). Aldermaji Issard 'Davies proposed the toai't 101 "The Unionist Cause," and said that the inception and; growth of the Unionist party marked an epoch in the Parliamentary history of t!he country. They had Ihad coal ltlon ministries in the past. But they only existed for -the,. purposes of overcoming temporary difficulties. When these 'were overcome, the coalitions ceased to exist. But the coalitjon of Unionists and Conserva- ftives had, stood the test of time. It had existed for over twenty years (appl). And he ventured to say that it ctoodi at present at its strongest. It was more than a. coalition. It 'was an alliance which had prevented tlhe dissolution of the Empire in 1886 '(applaiuse). It formed, a definite party with 131 definite policy. It was pledged not cnlv to maintain the stability of the Consti- tution and the stability of the Empire, but to a programme of social and fiscal reform (applause). The maintaining of the .glorious British Constitution was the fixed policy of the 'Unionist party, ithe destruction of the Constitution was the open and avowed object of the Radical party (applause). The Unionist party had challen.ged itlhe Radicals to appeal to the electorate, but they (tile Radicals) knew -that the moment they did so, t'hey would' sign the death-knell of their party (applause). They had! been, in power over three years, and that appeared (to be about the limit of a Radical administration (laughter). They had come into power with a igreat flourish of trumpets. 'But notwith- standing that, there was not a single mea- sure passed, th:aJt< had hiot been Icxibbed from the Unionist programme and drafted I before they came into office (applause). The Merchant shipping and the Patents Bills had been anticipated by a Unionist ad- minis trait ion. And. notwithstanding the smug complacency with which the member for the Carnarvon boroughs accepted the credit for the passing of the Old Age Pensions Act, he ventured ito think that the name of Mr Chamberlain would go down to posterity as the author of the scheme (applause). ACI- cording to the "Daily Chronicle," the man who did most to popularise the idea of old, age pensions1 was Mr Chamberlain. He was sorrv that the member for the boroughs Ihadl not had the magnanimity ito ire cognise the eminent services of this veteran statesman, in regard to old age pensions. Criticising the Old Age Pensions Act, Mr I&sard Davies said that there were now something like 300,000 poor people, who had been disqualified for oM age pensions, on account of receiving 'pairish. relief. They had been disqualified with lunatics and criminals i("Shame")..Mr Lloyd-George had made it a crime to be. poor. The disqualify- ing; of these poor people was the refinement of cruelty '(applause). By goikug into the workhouse, and by receiving parish relief, they provedl the genuineness of their poverty. Those people who bad .£800 and £1000 in the bank were accepted as desirable and, deserving candidates '(applause). He would say that this was one of the most cruel and brutal disqualification that had. ever ap- peared in an Act of Parliament ('applause). But. of icours-e. the matter -had been hurried, through, in order to gain, a ,JitUe immediate popularity. He ventured' to s'ay that if the Unionist party had Stared to put such a scheme on the Statute Book, they would never have heard the last from the Radical party about sops and doles. This vote catching policy was not all they had to com- plain about. The- Old Age Pensions Act was one olf the, signals for the gravest. ,colitic,al scandals of the time. No sooner was it passed than the Radical associations and agents constituted themselves- the agents for carrving out the Act. They said on these pasters': "Have you a father or any other relative who could do with 5s per week. If so, 'come and see the Liberal ao-cnt, and be will put you right." This was recblent of bribery a.nd corruption. The inference was that the only channel by which a, pension could be got was through the Radical alemt. it was also intimated on the posters that the Act was passed "in spite of .the Unionist party. they had heard of the -lyinig like Munchausen or like a cveloroeteir, but) he ventured to back a Radical agent to give points to the two daughter). But although the Old Age Pensions Act wa* so very sudden and iil-digeisted, the Radical solution of the labour problem was iworse. They had' 'promised the electorate that they would dleal with this question at cnce. But there was no allusion to the sub- iect in former King's Speeches, and only a meagre allusion in the last Speech from the, Thione. One suggested remedy was labour exchanges, but how could these help against ,unemployment! Another remedy was emi- gration, and; it was strange that the Govern- ment of a. firee trade country should offer M a remedy emigration to a oounltry flying the dl,az of Protection AapplaLfa). He would maintain that whenever the Liberal party had been. in power, misfortune- had dogged the steps of labour (applause).. The remedy Biuiggeefaed iby It 'Unionist iparty was "British work for British workmen" (ap- plause). No horse-shoes from America, no ammunition firom Germany, no slates from France, i no granite from Norway (hear, hear). Alderman A. T. Salvidge (Liverpool), in replying to the toast, said he was always Jed to believe that Radicals were so thick in Carnarvon that they darkened the sky like locusts (laughter), and he expected to find himself as one crying in the wilderness. On the contrary, however, 'he found a crowded audience, consiating largely of enthusiastic working men who were de- termined' when the time came, and! trusting that it might soon oome, that they would make the present Chancellor of the Ex- chequer put up the fight of 'his life (ap- piiajuse). He had 'been told that Liverpcol was the capital of Wales (laughter). Well, Liverpool was certainly the metropolis of Conservatism in the United Kingdom, and contained' a very large number of Weleli Conservatives, and it was a remarkablo fact that when Welshmen came to Liverpool they fcund political salvation (laughter and ap- I plause). It was quite evident that there was a sound body of public opinion in that constituency who were not quite so satisfied with the igreat uncrowned King of Walles as he appeared to be with himself (laughter); but. whatever his popularity .might be in that division, in other parts of the United Kinigdlom no politician was looked upon with greater suspicion and' disfavour than Mr Lloyd-George. He and. his friend and ool- Jea,gue, that prince of turnooats, Mr Win- ston Churchill, were viewed, by most thoughtful people as a. menace to the pro- sperity of the country, and, stood out as the two chief dangers of the Empire. In the iate by-election in Neath-West Manchester, nothing contributed more to the defeat of Mr Winston Churchill than the presence of Mr Lloyd-George. What was their position to-dav as working men? What had Radical- ism done for Walles, with all its fidelity to that cause ? They were simply in the same condition as the other parts of the country. 'What remedy had Mr Lloyd-George and his party to offer for this? The present Go- vernment were encouraging foreign competi- ftion in its,worst possible form, to the detri- ment of the trade of this country and, the employment and prosperity of the working men. His hearers knew better than he did the condition of trade in the Welsh quarries, and he was given to understand that the 4auarry owners in Devoin and Cornwall, and in Aberdeen and other Scotch quarrying districts, who relied on dock work similar to what was being carried out at Roisyth, had 'had practically no work for the past three years, and the consequence was that enormous n'umbera of men had been thrown out of employment. The Scandinavians mad already practically squeezed out the British curbmak'ers. They would k'n<vc:k- the iqiu'arry owners out of the British mar- bet and when the home industry was prac- tically dead up would go the price. The

CAMBRIAN RAILWAY COMPANY
CAMBRIAN RAILWAY COMPANY THE CHAIRMAN'S RESIGNATION DEMANDED. The nineteenth half-yearly general meet- ing of the Cambrian Railway Company was held on Friday, in London, Mr David Da- vies, M.P., presiding in place fif Mr W. Bailey Hawkins, who was confined to the house through illness. Mr S. Herbert mentioned that in answer to the circular sent out by himself, 275 let- ters had been returned through the Dead Letter Office. A large number of share- holders were either deceased, or had left without addresses. In moving the adoption of t'he report and balance-sheet, the Chairman said that dur- ing the year £300,000 had been raised by way of loan by an Act of Parliament. It was met by the issue of £ 150,000 "A" be- benture stock and L150,000 "B" debenture stock, in order that they might satisfy their bankers for an overdraft on their capital account. Mr Samuel Peto, who announced his re- signation from the board, said he had joined at the urgent request of the Chairman, but had he known the hopeless state of the com- pany he would not have done so, and he now resigned in order to make way for younger men. Mr Sidney Herbert, in the course of the discussion, said unless something was done the company must go gradually down and fall into the hands of a receiver. It was necessary to have the services of an expert on the board, whose advice would be fol- lowed. He did not agree with Mr Peto that the condition of the company was hopeless, but if it iwere left as it was now it would shortly be so. The deplorable state, he thought, was not. solely the result of tad I times, but; rather far more to mismanage- ment. He absolved Mr Peto from any blame in bringing the company to its pre- sent condition. The directors had consented to put his (Mr Herbert's) brother on the beard, but he and those who worked with I him wanted a pledge that a railway expert would also be put on the board. ) Mr Robjert, Mr Alfred Herbert, and I, others supported this policy, and demanded the resignation of the Chairman of the com- nary. The Chairman said .he tbought they I ad adopted the only possible policy in the issue of the debenture shares. He could not be experted to reply as to the resignation of Mr Bailey Hawkins from the chair. The motion was adopted by a large ma- jority.

For Influenza take Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. Never fails, 1/14, 2/9. < Nervous Diseases become more com- mon and more serious in the Spring than at any other time of the year." This is the opinion of the best authorities after long observation. Vital changes in the system after the long Winter months may cause much more than Spring Weakness and the familiar Weariness and Achings. Official records prove that in March, April and May Neurasthenia, St. Vitus* Dance, Neuralgia, Epilepsy, and various forms of Nervous Distur- j bances are at their worst, especially among those who have not reached middle age. The antiquated custom of taking ex- hausting purgatives in the Spring is useless, for the system really needs strengthening. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have a special action on the Blood and Nerves, for they give strength, and have cured not only the many forms of Nervous Disorders, but also other Spring troubles, such as Failure of the Appetite, Headaches, Weakness in the Limbs, Trembling of the Hands, Melancholy and Mental and Bodily Weariness, as well as Eczema and Skin Disorders. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure these Nervous Disorders and Spring Ailments because they make New, Good Blood. At the establishment of the Missions to Seamen in the Victoria Dock Road, London, where seamen ashore may comfortably berth and be well catered for, Mr. George Ball holds a position, and is well known there. His statement is of special interest. ONCE A VICTIM OF ACUTE NERVOUS DISORDERS. For many years," he said, "I was pale and exceedingly weak, and the butt of every illness that was going. In time my nervous system was completely disordered, and I avoided company; also I was excitable and unable to settle to any occupation. "As time went on my nervous condition caused me considerable anxiety. It seems foolish I will admit, but such was the weak state of my nerves then that I could not remain anywhere in the dark. If I awoke in the night my nerves became so agitated that I was unable to sleep until morning. I consulted a Specialist, and he told me that I was suffering from Acute Neuras- thenia and a weak heart. I followed his prescriptions for three or four months, but I sank to the worst of Nervous Breakdown. Different remedies disorganised my stomach so that I could not digest a mouthful of food. What little I ate remained on my chest, fermenting and tearing me with pain. These troubles affected to my lungs, and I had many symptoms of Consumption. Then at last to my dismay the doctor attending me said that the condition of my left lung was becoming serious. After twenty-two weeks of great Debility, fortunately came across a report of a case cured by Dr. Williams' PÎI:k Pills after other remedies had failed. So I sent for a supply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. ALL HIS SUFFERINGS DISPELLED BY DR. WILLIAMS'T PINK PILLS. Before I had used the contents of a few boxes I experienced a marked steadiness in my nerves, and I was encouraged by this to persevere. Before long I felt great relief from pain. My breathing was better, and I was able to walk about with ease. Every dose of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills seemed to infuse new life into me. My blood was renewed, and I felt a pleasant glow all over my body. Then my appetite returned and food caused no pain or flatulence. I put on flesh rapidly, and every trace of my troubles vanished." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured Anaemia (Bloodlessness), Indigestion, Head- aches, Backaches, Palpitations, and Debility; r also the worst cases of Eczema and other Skin Disorders, Rheumatism, the effects of Overwork and Worry, Sciatica, Nervous Disorders dreaded by men, and the aches and ills of women. Sold by most dealers, but avoid substitutes, and look for the seven words on every package, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Or send 2s. 9d. for one box, or 13s. 9d. for six boxes, to Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 46, Holborn Viaduct, London. Remember, the pills 1 that CURE are Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
CARNARVONCONSERVATIVE CLUBI
CARNARVONCONSERVATIVE CLUB SUCCESSFUL ORGANISATION. The annual meeting of the members of the Carnarvon Workingmen's Club was held on Thursday. Councillor J. O. Evans (vice- chairtman) presided, and he was supported by Mr Lloyd W. U. Hughes, president of I the club, and others. I Mr Evan Morgan (the secretary) presented ) a report .which showed that since the last annual meeting the club hadlade steady progrese. A large number of new members had been enrolled, and several forme? mem- bers had rejoined, while the subscriptions considerably exceeded those of the two pre- vious years, and there was also a substantial balance in the bank. Altogether, the year iwas probably the most flourishing which the club had experienced since its establishment. Reference was made to the successful cele- bration of St. David's Day last year. The ce'ebriation had been the means of stimu- lating the members to take greater interest in the welfare of the club, and it was desir- able that if possible the event should I e- come an annual one. The report and the financial statement were adopted, on the motion of the Chair- man, seconded by Mr Jonathan. Delegates were appointed to the Boroughs and Arvon Executives. Councillor M. E. Nee (general secretary of the Carnarvonshire Constitutional Associa- tion), in moving the ire-election of Mr Lloyd Hughes as president, remarked that the club was very fortunate in having a gentleman in the position of Mr Hughes willing to act as its president year after year (cheers). He congratulated the Chairman upon the suc- cessful year whitah the club had passed through, and particularly upon the satisfac- tory state of the budget produced by the secretary. It was quite poosible that they would have an election brought upon them soon in connection iwith another Budget, but whenever that event might happen it was gratifying to know that that club was in such an efficient state of preparedness (cheers). During the little more than three years which they had been in power, the present Government had failed to redeem. the pledges which they made to the country.. They had promised to reduce expenditure, and had apparently gone about it by pur- chasing their horisehoes in America, reduc- ing the efficiency of the army, and employ- ing foreign labour whenever they had an op- portunity of doing so. In trying to satisfy the various isms which made up the Radical party as it was known to-day, the Govern- ment were bent upon a policy of destruction, whereas Mr Balfour had laid before the country a constructive policy—(hear, hear)— by which the bais of taxation would, be broadened in order to meet such expenditure as old-age pensions, which the Conservatives had intended to make provision for as soon as Tariff Reform was an accomplished fact (cheers). The British workman was at, pre- sent severely handicapped-as proved by Ie- turns which defied contradiction—and al- though no one pretended that unemploy- ment would cease immediately as the-xesuit of adopting Tariff Reform, it would un- doubtedly disappear to a very large extent, and workingmen would, moreover, have greater security for their labour and better wages for performing it (hear, hear). The motion was seconded by Mr W. H. Wright, and unanimously carried.. Mr Lloyd Hughes, who was received WILa I much cheering, thanked the members warmly for their renewed confidence in him. The club had had its vicissitudes, but he was proud to find it now in such. an efficient state (cheers). He extended to the members a cordial invitation to partake of his hos- pit.ality on St. David's Day, when Alderman Salvidge would be the principal speaker. A resolution of sympathy was passed with Mr Lloyd Carter in his illness, from which, wo are pleased to stat-o, he is now recovering satisfactorily.
A NEW LICENSE FOR TREFRIW
A NEW LICENSE FOR TREFRIW FREE cxiUROHMEN'S FUTILE FIGHT. Col- Johnstone, Mr. Jelf Petit, and Mr. Robert Parry, were the ju=ftices who formed the Bettwsycood Adjourned Licensing Ses- isions on Saturday, when Mr. A. L-oyd Grif- fith, solicitor, Llanrwst applied for a new li- cense for the recently-erected Pavilion at Trefriw. At the ptrevions court Mr. J. j). donei. who represented the temperance piarty, objected to his notdce in the Local Ptess, an the ground thfcit it appealed more) than 28 days before the licensing sessions, bulb since then he had discovered that it ap- pciared on Jan. 15, and a<s( the sessions was held on February 12, it wbs weo-ll within the prescribed period, Mr. J. D. Jones: My friend withdrew his notice and neglected to insert another, there- fore, it is out of the power of the justices to deal with the case. Mr ü, il/oyd 'Griffith: I monition that I world withdraw the) notice if I found it neces- sary. The Chairman: It ia splitting a hair. We will1 hear the application. Michael Judge, manager and secretary of the BeLle Vue Hotei", Trefriw, deposed tJ tat, the Pavilion had been erected in the Trefriw Quay in order to accommodate' the hundreds of visitors which landed there daiy during the summer months by the Llandudno and Deganwy steamers. The .people at present were in the habit of crowding into the hote and thus Jowering it", tone. During ;ast July there were 51 resident visitors staying there, in August 112, and im September 51; the trippers trooped in by the, hundred, usually about lunch-time, and disturbttd the resident visitors, the hotel being a high-c.s one— this proved a great nuisance to them. He intended to keep fehe Pavilion open during the six .summer months from 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. Mr. Petit (a justice) Is this resort a grow- ing one.? Supt. Rees: Oh, yes; no doubt. Chafes Adams, the managing director of the Trefriw ChaTbeate Weiis, stated that he had beem staying pt the Bel'e Vue Hotel, and had been much annoyed at the srht of hundreds of trippers fiLing up the hotal rooms, the drawing-room, upstairs, evary- wherel, where they ordered beer and produced their own sandwiches and cakes, and ate them on the premises. For the opposition, the Rev. Henry Jones, (pastor of Trefriw Congregational ChurclU stated that this congregation, some 2OOr in number, had passed a resolution against; the granting of the ;.icetnse, on the ground that there were sufficient accommodation already, rtihe number of the licensees to the inhabi- tants being one to every 176. It was news to him to hear that the hotel was so crowded during the summer months, but he knew one gentleman who left it, as he felt too lone'.y (lauehterL Mr. W. dlso said the license was not required, as the Belle Vue was within 50 yards of the quay. Mr. T. R. Williams, a Sunday -schod cvass teacher, said the Pavilion, if licensed, would injure the. morals of the vaung mem. fr. R. H. Wil-liams, the sanitary inspec- tor and surveyor, did not think the erection (adapted for the purpose suggested. Ir. R. 0. Roberts, Brynclafnant, submit- ted a petition srigned by 234 residents ob- jecting to the license being granted. Mi-. R. E. Thomas (poor rate collector) produced a partition signed by the overseera of tllw parish, who J.t'O objected. The Chairman- sasid the jufttices, by a majority, had decided to grant a license to the Pavilion duitng the months of .Ju:y, August and September, to open at 10 a. m., and close at 7 p subject to the conforma- tion of the County Licensing Authority.

COMMITTED FOR CONTFMPT
COMMITTED FOR CONTFMPT ORDER AOAIXST A CHEMIST "A FLAGRANT BREACH." In the Chancery Division on Friday, before Mr Justice Swinfcn Eady. Mr Cozens- Hardy said that he had a motion on behalf of the Quinine Bitters Manufacturing Com- pany, Ltd.. and another. Llanel'y, for an order to commit Mr Morgan W. James, ■chemist, of the same place, for alleged non- compliance with an order obtained against him for making certain representations in respect of the manufacture of quinine bit- ters calculated to mislead the public. Plain- tiff, said counsel, were the. successors of 'Gv;i;ym Evans, manufacturer of quinine bitters. During the month of January last, counsel added, notwithstanding the order- that had been made against him, the de- fendant issued circulars broadcast, and to plaintiffs' customers amongst others, adver- tising "Quinine Bitters, original and genu- ine, the world's greatest vegetable tonic has an immense sale." These circulars were is. sued under the name of Evans and James, and counsel submitted that they had led people to believe that the defendant's busi- ness was identical with that of Gtwilym I' Evans, whose successor plaintiffs were. There was no objection to his doing so, so long as defendant did not represent himself a* successor to the plaintiffs. In reply to his Lordship, Mr Goodrrfan, who represented the defendant, said that the defendant once had the right to use the name of Gwilym Evans, but that right ex- pired in 1898. Mr Cozens-Hardy said that there was one breach committed by the defendant which could not be defended, and that was in putting forward on his circulars the words "successor to Gwilym Evans." Mr Goodman said that the defendant rad always had a, right to use the name of Gwit- ym Evans and James. His Lordship said that. the right to use the name of Gwilym Evans had long ince expired. He printed on the envelope "Part- ner and successor to Gwilym Evans," and then "manufacturer of quinine bitters." It seemed to him a very bad case, subject, to anything counsel had to say. Mr Goodman said that he could not defend that. The defendant had no intention to disobey the order of the Court. His Lordship in giving judgment said that in his opinion there had been a clear breach of the order. It appealed that this was not the first breach. It was a flagrant breach which was absolutely indefensible. Being restrained from describing himself as successor to Gwilym Evans, he printed on his circulars the words "Successor to Gwil- ym Evans," and. circulated them broadcast. It had occurred to him that if the defen- dant undertook not to use the name cf Gwilym Evans in any form that might pre- vent future difficulties, but the plaintiffs declined that, and he did not see his way to force it upon them. This was the second application to commit the defendant, and he thought he ought to make the order that the defendant stood committed for contempt and that he pay the costs of the motion.

CARNARVON CONSERVATIVES j
Socialists claimed that there -was a panacea I for all this evil in their remedy of what < they called the "right'to work." This was a, ridiculous fallacy (hear, hear). The real remedy existed in 'giving the right to the Ministers of the Crown to say to all foreign nations of the earth "Lower your tariff walls, and cpen your markets to us, andl we w /,1 do likewise to you. But if you refuse to negotiate, and bar out commerce and industry by your tariffs, not one yard or will you have in the markets of the British Empire" (applause). The Hcuee of Lords had 'taken a stand which the country wouild undoubtedly support, and it was an attitude which the Unionist party was pre- oaied to support. Mr Lloyd-George, when in Liverpool, made a strong tirade against tn Second Chamber. He called them out to mortal combat, and dilated upon tho conflict that was about to take place, but when a member of his audience very ap- propriately put the question "When?" he told his hearers that a good general selected the proper time and place for his. fight. He thumped the table and hollered, out his brave threats, and then, figuratively speak- ing. crawled underneath the table, and hid. himEelr. There was one way to test the flj-fcstion. and the only way, 'by vi- appeal to the people at the polls (hear, hear). Mr Lloyd-George knew when that IJ. P peal was made he would at once have to give up Lis seals of office, and if he was the brave, courageous man he made himself out to be he would at once resign, and take his col- leagues with him, but evidently he thought more of the emoluments attached to that office than in facing the music and carrying this discussion to its. only logical issue. ] In ,concluding, Mr Salvidge urged upon them to press forward with courage and enthus- iasm, and stay not their hand, until they had removed, the political blight that rested ■upon Carnarvon, and until victory was fairly within their grasp (loud applause). The President gave the toast of "The Con- servative Club," and paid a high tribute to Alderman Richard Thomas, as the founder of the institution. It was through Mr Tho- mas'.si efforts, when he founded the club nearly 40 years ago, and during subse- quent years of struggles, that the club was a club at all (applause). Councillor Alfred Richards, replying to the toast, 'referred to the present depression in the slate industry. They had probably seen numerous articles in the -lo-cal press, dealing with the subject. A recent leading article in a Carnarvon newspaper sought to minimise the effects or foreign com- petition on the trade. But a more one- sided article he had never read. An at- tempt was roadie to persuade them that be- cause the imports had decreased they had wipied off the iforeignems. This w an utterly false statement. The trade was suffering from two serious causes. Foreign competition and a depression ui t.'e bu:ld;ng trade. Figures were given, in the ioeal news- pjiper showing that the foreign trade had diminished. These were perfectly correct- Put the diTnini-s-hin,, quantity had been so w I small that the fact was not worth recognis- 1 ing. And the trade of their own country ihad been diminishing to a far larger ex- tent.

The official figures for 1908 had net vet been ifsned, bbt he could assure them that the reduction would be still greater.
