WEST CARMARTHENSHIRE UNIONISTS A further meeting of the series was held at the School, Pcnybont, on Monday evening. The school was filled with a.n enthusiastic audience. Mr. J. Williams, of Mvdrim. occupied the chair, and in a few congratulatory remarks introduced Mr. Stephens and Mr. Hanks. Mr. Stephens, who. was well received, commenced to criticise the finances of the present Government, and pointed out that while they were willing to pay £ 8,§00,000 per year for Home Rule for Ireland they appealed to the people of this country on the cry of peace, retrenchment, and reform. He (Mr. Stephens) felt that he should be lacking in patriotism if he did not issue to them a warning anent the far-reaching effect of Irish Home Rule. The cry for Home Rule emanated from the Southern party of Ireland which part. although they had a population of nearly four times as large as Ulster, only contributed 6s. 8d. in the £ to the rates and taxes of Ireland. The people of L lstor were the people who were paying for the administration of Ireland to the tune of 131;. 4d. in the E, and yet those were the people who desired nay demanded, the continuity of the union with Great Britain. The people of Ulster had built, up large industries and had made those industries thrive. They had a compact mass of people who were like unto us in every sense, and who were determined to remain with us. If the Radical Government proceeded with its Home Rule Bill' there would undoubtedly be civil war in Ireland and he was sure that every Unonist in these Isles would back up the Ulstermen. The Government had received the mandate for Home Rule and he would ask any man in the room whether he at the last election recorded his vote with the knowledge that that vote was to give Home Rule for Ireland, and if necessary to allow the Government to. shoot down the Ulster men who if the worst came would go into battle with the Union Jack as their banner and "God save the King-" as their battle cry. Were they willing to allow this Government to give to Ireland £ 8,000,000 per year in order that Ireland may have Home Rule, but this was not the worst part of the matter; in giving no control in the government of Ireland, but we will allow Ireland to send forty-two members to govern us at Westminster, and we will pay them JEMO per year for doing it. Turning to the land question Mr. Stephens said that the granting of a minimum wage was impossible unless they so regulated their markets that the farmer could secure a fair price for this produce. He therefore appealed to them to let the Unionist party have the control o fthe State for they would at once bring in a measure of Tariff Reform which would be that it would secure to the agriculturalists of Wales a certain market at good prices for their commodities and when that was assured he felt sure that the farmer would not be forced to pay a mini- mum wage, but would without Government pressure commence to pay a good and sufficient wage to all labourers. His advice to them was that they should secure a reasonable margin between the cost of pro- duction the selling price, and their wages would automatically rise. He had no intention of placing new taxes upon food, but would simply change the incidence of the present taxes. We in Britain collected £ 11,000,000 per year food taxes, but those taxes were all placed upon M-ticles of food that would not be produced here. He would ask them therefore to give the Unionist party an opportunity to place those existing t ixes upon articles of food which they produced hero and therefore give to the British agriculturalist an opportunity of increasing the production of his industry (loud applause). Mr. Hanks spoke upon the land question. A vote of thanks to the speakers was moved by Rev. E. Hughes., and seconded by Mr. J. Thomas, J.P. ST. CLEARS. The second meeting of the series was held at St Clears on Thursday evening, when the chair was occupied by Mr. K. H. Harries, J.F. (chairman oi the association). Mr. Harries on rising rex erred to the loss the party had sustained in the death of Mr. H. J. Stokes, and in the most felicitous terms re- ferred to the work accomplished by Mr. Stokes, and a. vote of condolence with the widow of Mi-. Stokes was passed in the usual way. Mr. Harries aid that although he could not claim to be a speaker he felt it his duty to remind his hearers that they were now in the rapids which unless drastic actions were taken would inevitably drive to IC civil war in Ireland, and he requested his hearers to bring pressure to bear upon the Government in order to avoid such a calamity. After briefly referring to Mr. Stephens he said lie had the greatest pleasure in asking Mr. Stephens to speak to them. Mr. Stephens, who was received with loud ap- plause, said how glad he was to come to St. Clears to support the cause of Unionism. They in St. Clears knew nim best as a business man, and he would therefore try to speak to them as a business man for he could assure them that when they approached good politics as we approach business they would find that our legislation was far better and far more equitable than when we approached the matter solely as politicians, and he was convinced that, if the electors of Wales would look at politics as the business of the nation, the day of the politi- cal preacher who was ever chasing some silly Will o the Wisp, would be gone for ever. He felt riire they would agree with him when he said that the only party in Great Britain who approached the business of the country on sound economic basis was the Unionist party (hear, hear). Mr. Stephens proceeded to say that the present Govern- inent, whose battle cry was peace, retrench- ment, and reform, had by the revolutionary charac^r of their legislation the means of causing more British capital to be invested abroad and had been the means of reducing British credit and British prestige in the councils of the world. He wouid remind his hearers that such a policy ns this Ii'] the effect of reducing the employable capacity of Great- Britain and therefore was the cause of un- employment and destitution with its resultant oxt-a charge in rates and taxes upon the remainder of the community who remained in employment. He would point out to them that the motto of the Unionist party was Britain first, and that when 'he Unionist. paWy were returned to power their legisla- tion would be so framed as to secure the maximum amount of employment for British workmen, and he felt he could then leave the matter of adjustment of profit, and wages to the people most concerned. T > pass Acts of Parliament demanding a minimum wage without securing a minimum price for the com- modities produced was equal to making a r-ii t of clothes without first ascertaining whether you had sufficient material to make it with. In conclusion Mr. Stephens said he would like to refer to the agitation of the Suicide Club. If they looked closely into the matter they should find that the people who were paying for this agitation were aliens, or Little-Englanders whose income was de- rived from investments abroad. They had no stake in this country, and only lived here because they knew that wherever :Free Trade obtained they could pay low wages and receive the goods which they produced abroad on the same footing of tjoods manufactured in this country and paying their iii-t quota of rates and taxes. Our Navy was our insurance, and he would ask his hearers to say whether they were prepared to pay a larger insurance policy or whether they were willing to let the navy go to the wall and then in the near future to pay to Germany or some other power a war indemnity similar to the one paid by France in 1890. He felt convinced that the neople of Car- marthenshire were willing to pay their share to- wards keeping the navy supreme and by keeping the navv supreme to ensure at all times the absolute snpremncv of Britain (loud appltusel. Mr. ITanks after dealing at length with the land piestion referred to the Welsh Church Bill and said that although everyone was agreed that the civil war threatened in Ulster would not have itF counter- part ill a]p.bfx>,U]Sf' of thp <li!'t,<tahlishnwnt anfl disendowment of the Chinch. We shoufd undoubt- edly be faced by a civil war. which would in the finafity be far more disastrous to the welfare of the Wol-h nation. No one would benefit by the passing of the Bill. But once upon the statute book the jealousies and fractions which existed between th" Established Church and Nonconformity twenty years ago would be far surpassed, and he said without fear of contradiction that the chief sufferer would be religion. He therefore appealed to the Nonconformists of Wales to look at this matter for themselves instead of looking through the glasses supplied by the political preacher (applause). Mr. J~. Beynon moved that the heartiest' thank?
