Salisbury Admits Failure Of Free Trade

We cannot look abroad into the territories occnpied by the great industries of this country without a f eeling of sorrow and misgiving. I earnestly desire that such a state of labor could be established as would give to the laborer sufficient for his niaintenance and comfort. If you inteivl in this conflict of commercial treaties to hold your own you must be prepared, if need be, to inflict tipon the nations which injure you the penalty which is in your hands- that of refusing them access to your markets. (Loud and prolonged cheers and a voice, "Cominon sense at last.")- Lord Salisbury, May 18.
