MULTUM IN PARVO.

Sib,—Lord Salisbury, in his speech delivered at Bradford on the 22nd May, is reported to have _ said:—" Just look at the state of things that is exhibited in the London market at this moment. Money is so plentiful that you can hardly get money for it. It is overflowing in the coffers of all the capitalists and all the banks On the other side there are the sullen ranks of the half-starved labourers, who, if that moneycould be employed—could be invested;—woohl be enjoying an unrestricted industry and a happy home.—(Cheers.) But between.theoverflowitig, coffers and the half-starved, suffering labourer there flows a black, impassabie stream of distrust. The capitalist dare not invest his money, besause he does not kcow when the Government, Parliament, or any other - influence mny commence to do something to -deprive him of the fruits which he expected from bis investment; and therefore the unhappy labourer, with such resources as he may; gefc from his parish or with no resooreesat all, pines away, bitterly cursing a civilisation which he does not understand. — (Hear, hear.) Sorely thab should impress oar statesmen with tha feeling that the first thing to be1 done is to restore confidence between class and class, mea and men.—(Loud cheers.)"
