IMPERIAL POLITICS.

ADDRESS BY MR CETORCHIIL. Prets Afsomtion—By Telegraph—CopTxigfei. LONDON, October 4. In the course of an address to his constituents at Dundee, Mr Churchill raid that England's wish is to see the Morocco question settled once and for all. He attributed the existing labor unrest largely to the rise in food prices during the- last 15 years, and the fail-are of wages to advance proportionately. The rise was duo to the enormously incm"Esd output of gold, and a sovereign would buy less clothing and food than formerly. While prices ■were easily raised to meet the new conditions, wages moved very slowly and jerkily, and often only after fierce quarrels between the employers and employed. Personal!}', he favored the nationalisation of railways. Owing to their responsibilities to the public, railway-men did not enjoy the full power of collective bargaining, and Parliament mi'fit therefore see that they «'ere not losers on this account. The Govemnient would stake their existence on the passage of the Insurance Bill during the coming autumn session, despite the intrigues of the Tory wire-pullers and the open hostility of the Socialist party. Ue sharply criticised the Ulster campaign of Sir E. Careon, M.P. for Dublin University.
