The Welsh Coast Pioneer and Review for North Cambria

ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION AT CAPEL GARMON. On reaching the village scJioofroom, it was found that it was crowded by an audience which gave Mr Thosnpeom an enthusiastic reception. Mr Boviil, who again occupied the chair, said that was the first Ccxaeeirvatove meeting held in the village for miany years, bu.t, although Mr Thompson had not addressed a meeting there, he had visited most oif them at their homes (applaiuse). lie was not, therefore, an uitter stranger to them (cheers). MR SAM THOMPSON expressed his regret at not having been able to address a meeting in the village before, but as he had come into per- sonal contact with them at their homes he knew them aJI (applause). However, as i,t was deetr- aJhle that they ehoudd know his opinions on the different questions at issue, he would first refer to education- He was in favour of the children receiving the beat education possible to enable them to gfow up good and useful eitizieais (dhcere). There was a party in Wales anxious to do away with religious edwoation in the day schools, but he contended that it was absolutely neoesEwV that the children should be taught the religion of their parents in the schools in the beat interests of the country, tie was strongly in fa.vour of the children being taught according to the religvous views of the parents, which was .d..btodly the best way to settle the question (applause). The fipeaJvor then went on to refer to the B udget, and advocated a scheme of sand purchase by farmers ajid othsrs ed by loans granted by the Imperial Exchequer which was received with loud applause. He aiso advoca- ted land banks (wlhtch have proved such a suc- cess abroad) to enable farmers to get leans at a narninaJ rate of interest- Some of the young men present probably anticipated getting mar- ried some day (a youth shouted energetically: "No, never," midst loud laugthter)—and wouid require assistance to start upon & farm. In such oases the banks would prove of incalculable value (loud cheers). -.IR THOMPSON was proceeding to speak on Tariff Reform when the inner globe of one of the kfcmpe broke owing w the heat which pro- voked from the speaker the sally: "it must have been made in Germany. If it was made in Eng. land it would have stood the test" (laughter, and -applause). Continuing, the speaKer said t.he foreigner had been allowed free access to the British market for 60 years and sent over to the British market lj nuBion worth of manitfac- frured gtoodfl annuialtly such as doors, deek^j win- dow fioanes, lmm". etc., -which were formerly manufactured at home ("Shame"). The result was that if they bought from the foreigner the British workman lost his means of livelihood ("Shame"). The word Free Tr aJ.} was a mis- nomer, ap the Briitiah farmer paid from 10 to 11 p- «* << hi. porodtaee in taxes. Was it fair for the Britisher to pay heavy tax-t, on hiB pro duce and at the ca.-ne time aJlow the foreigner to place his gooda on Che British market free of charge? (cries of "No"). If the Britisher sent his goods to the foreign market they were mot with prohibitive tariffs with the result that it was impassible for him to (omret-e with) foreign countries- What Tariff Reformers desired waa to have fair play for British workmen and pro- vide them wiftih plenty of work (applause). The Liberal Party contended that inasmuch as for- eftn goods were cheaper than Britifh goods they should have the preference- But HIS EXPERIENCE AS A WORKMAN was tha4 unless the work n^an was employed and earned money the cheapest article was out of his reach (applause). Lot them take slates as an example. Owing to foreign competition a hizee muuiber of quarrica had to be closed, and thousanda of men and their families from Fes- taniog and othex slate oentrcs had to einigratA-, to the United Stato&-a heavily protected coun- try—to enable them to find work (applause). The foreign Slates were a cheaper than those raised in this country, with the result tlwut contractors bought them in preference to the tome slates; the rich country benefited at the espouse oi the poor quarrjTnen (cheers). There was no doubt but tihat the candle was being burnt at both end. tmdeir the present syatom. The people had to pqry more in mtee to keep tho unennployed than they benefited by the pur- obase oi foreign goods (loud applause). The Conservative Government in 1905 passed the Unemployed Workmen's Act, under which the present Government had aJready paid in doles the enormous sum of B950-000 to keep people from absolute starvation, which showed the necessity of iramedaaiteJy grui)pling with a ques- tion, which was b-xoming more serious every weak, and a heavier burden upon the Imperial Exchequer ervery year (hear, hear) The only key to the sitanoiaon wias Tariff Refomi. He hoped they would give all the points ha had nueed thear mart serious attention, and that they would decide to cost thear influence, and vote in favour of the good of their country, the happmcaj of their fellow-subjects, acid the stabi- &c^Empiire, of which they formed a part MR ALBERT HUGHES, of LknrwBt, said he was tbepe 118 a workman to do has utenost to assist fellow-workman (loud applause). Mr Thompson, who waa a workman Mid one ol the peapie had qpcken to thorn from persfnal know- ledge oi the requpments of the labouring cdaaaeB—{dbeers),—and it was their duty as work- man, to be loyail to tlieif own ohps—(loui ohcem) —and form themsetlvee in the side of Mr Sam Thonapean (cheeins). When the Budget was first infcrodUoed baforo the House of Commons, a gVoat corrifrnittee was held in London ooonposed of batakers amd mcrdhaats, LiberaJB and Conser- vatives, who a/rrved at the unanimous conclu- sion that if the Budget was adopted it would prove to be a deadAV blow to the interest of the country, and greatly emphasise the difficulties of the problem of uneiirtpJoymeait. The late Conservative Government had passed a Licens- ing Aot which had worked admirably, and re- duced tho number of lice-need houses whioh were eltih-or badly kept or were not necessary by over 3000 so that the Licensing Act proposed by the present Government was quite unnecessary (ap- plause). When the latter measure failed to pass through the Upper House, Mr Lloyd Geo ge (cheers, and a voice: "LJo,d George and starva- tion," and counter-cheers)—then said: "I have a rod in pickle: for. the licensees." So he hadi and he introduced it isto the Budlgt. The Buodl get ddd not indudie a single clause that wouid improve the condition of the unemployed. The Liberal Publication Dtpartmeet in 1905 issued a pamphlet in wfi--h it 3a stated "the more momey the Government tulles from the rich, the lees they bave to spend locally." Thda was jew- fedtly true as manjy a workman would admit if the Budget beoaime law- There was no such thing as Free Trade in Great Britain as long as suab neceaaea-y commodities as tea- sugcr, oatiee, oocoo. and tobacco weare so heavily taxed (chears). When 61 millions sterling were paid in outtom taxes laat year it must be admitted that "Free Trade"' was a farce and a sham (cheers and dis- een.t.t. Mr Lloyd GeorgVj had reoentit- granted £ 3800 to Glasgow to pay for work done by. the unemployed last summer to keep the woif írom their door, and this in the middle of summer when work should be available; yet 19 per cent, of the workmen of the tow-n were out of employment, which proved the urgent necessity of adbpiing a new tariff system. When Cobden advocated free trade in 1854 he said that the freight on wheat from America would never be leoa than 12s a quarter, but what was the fact ? At th-ait tmme the freight was 15s lid per quarter; now it had gone down to 3s lid, which" jvade i,t impcasible for the British faamer to compete with the United Slbates- If they voted for Mr Thompson and returned hdan as their representa- tive to the Imperial Parliament he would follow the leadership oi Mr BaJlfour, and vote for a system which would improve the condition of the working daaaes, and place them out of the reach of want and care (appl-aiuse). Thanks havizig been voted the speakers, a large number of thoee present dhook hands with Mr Thompson, and the meeting terminated, the aiudienoe dmspexiacig quietly to re-assemble in knots on the roadside to diecuSB the subjects radeed by Mr Thompson. ei-,

DISORDERLY YOUTHS AT LLANFAIRTALHAI ARN. The Hon. Laurence A. Brodriok presided over a meeting held at Lkmtfair T.H. on Thurs- day evening in support of the candidature of Mr Sana Thompson, and be was accompanied on the platform by the candidate, Mr A. Hughes, the Reov. Mr Thoamas, and others. The rocirn was almost fuU of voters at 7 p-rn., when fifteen iareeponeihle youths accompanied by tiwo men rushed into the room shoutang at the top of theer voices: "Lloyd Georgfe for ever," and took up a petition at the far end of the schoolroom, from which point of vantage they oontimiod througixmt the meeting to da- twrb Mr Tbctmpscin to the evident annoyance of the others present- Mr Thompson, however, P-;e-ed aM dehvered & brief speech as he bad only a short time at his disposal, because he had to addresB a gathering of his suppor- ters ait LktfjRerniew. MR BROiJRICK expressed a hope that the juvenile element at the back of the room would curtail their qrniritB until Mr Thompson had an opportunity to place his views before them (cheers and some dusoemt)- The electors had a giretat retpcxnajbUvt}/ oast upon their shouldem, and it woo essential 4wit they should hear bot.h sitdes of the case (cheers, and cries of "Welsh"). He hoped he would not in vain appeal to tlie generosity and courtesy of the youth of the dis- trict, and that they would observe a decent and respectful demeanour towards Mr Thompeoa (cheers and shouting). MR THOMPSON, in his address, said be looked back "with pltasanre to tho previous meet- mg he had addreeoed there when he received every eourteuy at the hands of the inhabitants, and he fedt sure the same ccurtesy would be extended to hiun on this occasion (cheers)- He hod1 heard1 that some of his opponents had cir- culated a Stttfy that if a Conservative Govern- ment wat) returned the Old-Age Pensions would not be paid (cries cif "No"). Old-Age Pen- sion Act had become a permanent poit of the law of the country—{aafeeirB),—and :I.n!; party returned to power would have to provide tor it (oheera). Mr Atqinth mid in the House of CciKfruone an Novesnbar 3rd: "It is an insult to the honour aifld coneoioncoe of the Unionist Party to suggey; that tihey would not bring to a oom- chuaion the provisions oi the Aot. The Old-Age Peni.7iX.inere eouild sleep peacefully, and he assured thecn that they were in no danger of losing their peaisionu" (cheers and uproar). It had also been said, thait unk«B tho Budget was passed the Okl- Age Pensions would not be paid. The Budget had not been a.dopt.ed as yet (cries, "It will"). Yet every pensioner received his or her money just the sapne- They were also assured that if Tariff Reiform was adopted there would be no money for Old-Age Pensions. Yet in such pro- tectod countries as New Zealand and Australia suck a system and a bottar one was in force, and I whoit sudh protected oountriiee oouid è<> :B I could db aiso (cheere. and a voice: "Butt they would have to pay more for their food"). Mr Lloyd George—(cheers from the back row)—de- clared in the Commons Oil the 15th June la.3t that Mr Chamberlain—(cheers and hooting)—had dene as much as any man in the country to popularise the Old Age Pension scheme (cheers and hooting). The House of Lorcfe had not thrown out the Budget *<& some of tihe Radical epeakers wished the people to believe, but re- ferred iit to the people to deal with i,t as they wished (cries of "We are in favour of it," and "No"). That remained to be seen. The youths of Lkinfair T.H., however important they might be in their own eotirnajtion, were not the Brinish electoonaite (laughter). It was the majority who we.re the rulers and not a pack of youths (checffs and hooting). The HQlUce of Lords had not thrown out a Mingle measure whioh the courttrty decdred (cries of "Sing us a gong," "They will never have the chance again"). Scime of you, remarked the speaker, are pro- phets of Baal—(laughter)—and shout like Balaam's quadruped companion (loud laughter). The House of Lords ("Down with them"). If the preoooiouB youiths ait the back only knew the history of tho party of which they wore bright omeamentB they would know that the Libsral Party during the last 30 years had created 250 Peers (a voice: "Gecdl job," and laughter). But tlhe;, dad not want to do away with the House ot Lords for i, t proved a h-avon of reat to the superannuated menrbero of tho party (loud laugh- ter). The Houix) of Commons could not rofcirm the House of Lorda. Bafote that was done the (Jommccro would have to naake a difference in the constitution Otf the country (cheers and hoootijw). lie was in favour of re>forming the Hooae of Lands so that they oouid be mane in touch with the detmociruoy of the oountry. If the Liberal Party were as assured as they wished CIbe countary to Detoevo of the validity of their theories why were they so anxious to stifle the oritiicBHm of their opponents? (loud oncers and booting). He had always acted with courtesy towordB his opponents, arid they could do noTess than give hajm a fair hearing (japplauso. and "You will get it at Llangemiew). Mr Thamp- son then proceeded to criticise the land taxes and the licensing clauses of tflje Budget arnid ootntinual iraterruptiana from the back of the room- Mr Thompson finished his speech by saying thaa the issues before the oountry were most important, and should receive the closest adJbemtion and consideration of the electors who shold not asEow theanuoelveB to be initriimidaSed by a group of youths out for a fettle fun. He hoped the electors present would give the policy of the Conservative Par&y- unprejudiced con- sideration, and vote in accordance with the dictates of their consciences (lcxod cheers and hooting). Mr Thompson having smartly replied to a number of queetionB, the meeting terminated aJiter the usual vote of thanks bad been passed. A large crowd assembled outside, -0-id as the motor oars left for Llangermew raised cheers for Mr Thompson. $

A POPULAR WELCOME AT LLANOERNIEW. When Mr Thompson entered the Llangemiew Schoolroom a crowded audience greeted him with prolonged cheering, which lasted several minutes. Cod- Sandbach presided, and was supported by the candidate, Hon. Laurence A. Brodrick, Mr Albert Hughes, and others. COL. SANDBACH. in opening the meeting, saad that Mr HiompsGn was well-known to the people of Llangerniiew, having spoken there be- iore, and he felt ateured by the reception they had accorded hian that they would give hdm a courteous end respectful hearing (applause). The Liberals in complaining* that the Lords had re- ferred tlie Budget to the oountry proved that they were afraid of the pecple (cheers). What- ever the people wished^ tlhe Lords would fulfil (cheers). But ivhaa such a revolutionary Bud- got was introduced to Parlia-nie-a it wyus the diu/ty of the Upper House to my "We will not pass this Budget umitil we know the will of the people" (cheers). So thefy had referred it to the people (cheers). The will of the p"ople, not the wil of the Liberal Party governed the coun- try (hear, hear). MR THOMPSON, in his address, said he had already Pnokeci to them upon the subject of ij Tariff Reform, ao he wcuw. redet that night to some of the piovietons of the Budget- The Liberal Party wanted the country to think that the Budget would 00 of advantage to the coun- try, and especially to the working classes as they contended that buikiting- land near tne towns was too dear, but the lj* bemls proposed to make land cheaper by imposing a heavy tax upon it (laugh- ter). Siuppctiing they posEeeeed land neaT the village the vulile of which was increased through adjacent new buildings or in some other way, — —

Under the present system of free imports it would be impossible to establish a sugar-makinig in- dustry in this country.

SIR HERBERT ROBERTS' CANDIDATURE. PROFESSOR HENRY JONES AT LLANRWST. CRISIS NOT DUE TO MR BALFOUR OR THE CHANCELLOR. A meeting was held in the Church House, Lla.mrwst, on Wednesday night to support the candidature of Sir J. Herbert Roberta. Mr O. Isgoed Jones, Plas yn Dre, presided, and he was supported by Messrs W. Hughes, Gwarnfor; J. D. Jonea, soEc-.tor; Wm. Da- vits, Town Hill; Revs. Wm. Tihomae, Fron- deg; T. C. Roberts, Llys Myfyr; sund Pro- fessor Henry Jones, of Glasgow University. MR ISGOED JONES, in opening the pro- ceedings,said their oponents had thrown down a challenge which they could not but at onoe acoept in the centenary yeax of the late Mr Gladstone, the greatest statesman that ever lived (cheers). They were ready for the fig-ht (oheevre). It was quite as well that there should be a contest in that division; and it was quite as well that they should have a contest with the Lords. The House of Lords had thrown out the Budget, bccause the Marquis of Lansdownc said the voice of the country should be _-ivem first of all. which was strange because the House of Commons I had had absolute control of financial matters for three hundred years (cheers). There was aai old saying "A country is stronger than any lord" (applause). He would say nothing that was disrespectful aobout the other sdde (hear, hear). But what was the history of the House of Lords? Was it not a fact that eveu-y important Liberal measure was thrown out by that House? Was all the common- sanse confined to the House of Lords? The Education Bill was thrown out; the Licensing Bill was thrown out; and last of a.U the Bud- got was thrown out (" Shame"). And now the question at issue was whether the House of Lords or the people were to govern the country. He remembered Mr Chamberlain at Dembigh, twenty-five years ago, making a sitirong speech against the House of Lords (laughter). Now he was entirely on the side of the Lords. The other party had only one policy, namely, Tariff Reform. Let the people be very careful of that. It was a very bad policy; the policy of taxing almost every commodity, food and all. The Govern meat had passed an Act giving five shillings a. week to old people (cheetre). Now, if the Tories went in, the old people in- stead of receiving five shillings would only get four shillings and sixpence. Because the difference would be paid back in the form of tariff. Millions of pounds were wan"- eight million for the Navy and eight millions more for odd age pensions. Where was the, Government to get the money? Surely not from the pockcts of the working people. Was it not fair that the wealthy should pay accord- ing to their income? (applause). 'A RESOLUTION. MR W. DAVIES proposed a resoluti m ex- pressing appreciation of the present Govern- ment and condemnation of the rejection of the Budget bv the House of Lords. MR J. D. JONES, solicitor, in seconding the resolution, said: They defied the House of Lords far two reasons: First, for what it wias, and secondly for what it had done. What was the House of Lords? It coaacasted of 616 members, and out of th a-t number 541 sa.t there for the sole reason that they hap- pened by accident of birth, to be the eldest sons of thciir .fathers (laughter). Out of 616 members only 90 were Liberals ("Shame"). The great majority of the un- representative House of Lords 'were Conserva- tives, but in the Commons, where the mem- bers were aho3on by the people, the great majority were Liberals (loud applause). In 40 yeajis tho Lords had thrown out or muti- lated no less than 27 bills of Liberal Governments ("Shame") and how many bills of Tory Governments ? Not one ("Shame"). Was t-ha-t impartiality? (" No"). Was that justice? ("No"). It was as reason- able to expect a man charged with murder to be tried with fairness by the 12 brothers of his victim as to expect the House of Lords to deal fairly with Liberal measures (ap- plause). It was a house of frauds (cheers). He thought it was a. good augury for the success of the cause that the conflict had taken place cAn the 100th anniversary of the birth of the greatest staitesman the Liberals of this oountry had ever seen, the late Wril- liam Ewart Gladstone (loud cheers). The motion was supported by PROFESSOR HENRY JONES, who said he had an &d acquaintance with Sir Herbert Roberts and great respect for him (cheers). In the sceond place he had a warm a.ffecticci for his father, and more especially for his grandfather, Mr David Roberts, whose greatest asset was his chaxacter (cheers). But he greatly respected Sir Herbert Roberta, with whom he had sat on the famous Welyh Church Commission, and Sir H. Roberts had the firmest judgment of all on that Commission (cheers). But he would not have worried to speak on behalf of Sir H. Roberts during his holidays for those reasons only. The fact was that the Conservative Party were initia- ting a revolution. Trade had been confined before. There had been taxes on corm-ycs, and om many other things besides corn. He had heard of respectable people in that dis- trict walking ten miles to get a little own. The question of dsestablitilun<ii.t was import- ant for Wales (cheers). But the question of Free Trade was far more important (cheers). The Empire was their petitioner to-day. It was asking their hdp to choose a government honest and wise. Would they turn back or go forward to real self-governmcmt ? It wias not fair to say that Mr Lloyd George had brought that question before the country. The sound od the battle had been heard years a.go. It was not Mr Lloyd George's fault nor Mr Balfour's that the hardest tight since Cromwell's time was to be fought now. The common people were gradually becoming conscious of their rights. They were be- ginning to think that they also should be free. The root of Toryism was the want of trust in the people. They thought that the common people were not fit for self-govern- mont. He did not believe in class govern- ment; he did not believe in the Lords NOR IN THE LABOUR PAKTY either. It was not the part of a man who loved his country to love less than the whole of it. If, however, he had to choose between the lords and labour he should not hesitate for a moment to make his choice for labour. It was not the office oif the House of Lords to dissolve Parliament. That was the work of the King. The House of Lords had nothing to do wjth considering the situation be- tween the people and its representatives. They were not playing the game, and he was disappointed over that. Tariff Reform meant retrogression. "Weill," said someone, honestly enough, "we need to turn somewhere. Things are in a very un- satisfactory condition. Work is very irregu- la.r, and many fail to get work at aJJ." He thinks it the saddest sight on earth to see a ma.n failing to get work—willing hands that were empty hands. But, as far as he could see no additional work would come through Tariff Reform. Tariff Reformers promised higher wages and more work. But no oc.unxtry had ever been enriched by interfer- ing with its trade. There weire two ways, and, so far as he could see, only two ways of increasing tlie wealth of a country. First, bv discovering some natural resources, WhOCiC prc&?noe had been unsuspactcd, or by im- proving the working of the material and re- sources already at their disposal. The wealth of a ecoan,t,ry was made up of two factoi-s-,a civili&ed people and favourable conditions of work. If one business was benefited by Ta.riff Reform (and, of course, it was poGt-iilblc to benefit one trade), it could only be done at the expense of other trades. It was at the cost of other kinds of business that the first gained. There were political reasons for pro- tection. In a young country it migJl. be well for a while to keep out foreign goods. But it was not an economic advantage, and there is no value in such an argument for !i1Ú country. If the foreign goods were ^gnea- in price than our own, no one would buy jm. As long as the foreign goods were dearer, we dnd not want them If foreign goods were at the same price as ours they wou-d still not be wanted. But if we oould only keep out the goods that were than our ovyn What if they got those goods for nothing? Would they refuse them then? (checrs). The REV. T. C. ROBERTS proposed, and MR JONES, Angilcsea House, seconded, a voce of confidence in Sir Herbert Roberts* This was carried with acclamation. On the motion of Mr MILLS, Plae Heiyg, seconded by MR n. O. JONES, Aneddle, the thanks of the meeting were accorded to Pro- festsor Henry Jones for his address. lOntinued on next pago.) li. L*

and that it was sold for building purposes. A tax of 20 per cent, would bo imposed upon the improved value, and when the leac;e expired am- Or-her 10 per cent. Was there any reasonable man who could honestly way that the Govern- ment by imposdsng euch heavy duties on building land would lessen the rent of the houxeo erected upon the land (cheeais). The speaker went cci to explain at length t'hatt the poor paid more taxes in comparison under the Budget than the rich, and said he oould mot see how the tenant was to benefit by the taxing* of the land- Referring to Tariff Reform, he said that when Free Trade was in force1 in Australia: the farmers there had to depend upon the United States for their reapers for which tihey paid £ 50 each. When the Colony adopted Protecbicn a tariff of 25 per oent. was put on such gocdo with the result that factories were promoted in the Colony which turned out goods in such quantities that the AMERICANS WERE OUSTED out of the market, and the reapers reducad from to JB25 each (lçlud applause). Other imple- ments decreiised in price im races (cheers). So under Tariff Reform agricultural implements would be manufactured at home in suoh quanti- ties as to enable the manufacturers to sell them at considerably lower prices (oheens). While at the same time the wages wouid be paid to Bredr-h workmen instead of to foreigners (cheers). Somo of his Radical opponents said that the Co-i. > -vative Party wanted to make food dearer. If lK: thought for a moment til lot Tariff Reform would have such an effect, he would b3 the last man in the oountry to advocate it (loud cheers). Workmen did not want charity; they wanted work, but under the present oondition of trade many honest workmen were forced to appeal to tlieir parioh for a £ ccstance to keep their iamalios from .starvation ("jame"). Therefore, it was h.gh time a chaongb should be made in the trad- ing oyyteim of tho country in order to secure work, and allay the terrible poverty and suffer- ing amongst the poor (dheers). The speaker went on to speak of Old-Age Penoiona, and to assure the audience that under a Coneervative Government they would not 0:1; bo continued, but also improved by reducing the age limit to 65 yearns (loud applaum). He was delighted to meet such a audience and such an appre- ciative one (cheers). MR ALBERT HUGHES, LJunrwst, who was well received, saJd the Conservative Party in Wet3I; Deaob'ghshire had reason for self congratu- tetion on hoving siecured such a splendid candi- date as Mr Thompson (cheers). Mr Hughes severely criticised the land taxes and the licens- ing claures of the Budget, and went on to prove that no such tiling' as Free Trade existed as long aa some of the necessaries of life were already r'l'er co heavily taxed. Under the present system the best men in the ooumitiry left for America and other countries. During the last year only 30,000 men emigrated from Germany, while 250.000 left the shores af England ("Shame"). This fact in itself was a. proof that something should be done without delay to relieve the ter- rible poverty that existed, especially in the large towns, nd this could only be achieved through the adopciocx of Tariff Reform (cheers). John Bright once- when asked by Lady Stanley iniiat lie thought of the Houee cf Lords replied tha.t "ilt was the Imperial Cooling Chamber" (laud cheers). And &o it wa3. It cooled tho inH-a.rilffiia.ble Sociafcni of the Liberal Party in the Lower House and checked its devastating course (loud cheers). As a workingman ho ap- pealed to his fed low-workmen to extend a help- ing hand, and vote for Mr Thomp.;cill., the man of the people, whoee sole aim in life was to lift his feHow-work men from the pit of hope.Leesness unite which tlic^, wore oast by the advocates of Froo Tnade (loud cheers).
