Although, us a lawyer m the City of Loudon, I was as hard hit us anybody by the depression, 1 uni willing to eat black bread and drink water to see the stock-jobbers doing tlio same. They are the men Avho howled for mere slaughter, aud-now they are paying the penalty. As' President of the Board of Trade, I am glad to report that ti'ade is looking up. "The Ministry ure pledged to deal with religious equality m Wales at the first available moment. There must be complete popular control of all schools exclusively maintained out of the public funds. The charueter of tlie moral teaching to be imparted must be left to each locality. All I AA'ill say about disestablishment iv Wales is that the 19 avlio compose the Cabinet arc m favor of it."
