CHAMEERLAIN ALARMED He Sees Enc and’s Finish if She Dess Net Follow H s Plan. Glasgow. Scotland, Oct 7. —St An- : drew s ball was pa- ked to its full capacity, 6.' 00, when Joseph Chamberlain rose last even-.ng to deliver the first speech of his fis-al campaign. His appearance caused a tremendous outburst of enthusiasm, the ovation lastltg for several minutes. Mr. Chamberlain returned his thanks for this, the first opportunity for explaining his fiscal views He was loyal to the party in which be had found a leader every member might be proud to follow and warmly refuted the insinuation that under any conceivable circumstances wouid he come in competition with his friend and leader. The former colonial secretary added that he desired to prepare the country for a struggle in which, if varquishel. it would lose its place among nations. After the presentation of lengthy trade sta‘istics Mr. Chamberlain sa l that if the cob rial trade did not increase with the population of the United Kingdom, with the decrease of foreign trade Great Brita n would sink into a fifth-rate nation and her fate would be the same as that of the empires of the past Speaking of the consequence of the present policy to this country Mr. Chamberlain pointed out the loss of the tm-plate trade and said that if they could have offered the United States advan’ages to leave that trade alone it would have been retained. The result of such a policy. the speaker claimed, must be the entire less ot the colonial trade, while on the contrary, with preferential treatment, the United Kingdom would capture the foreign trade with the colonies and give employment to additional millions of workers PROMISED "PROTECTION" Get-Rich-Quick Ryan Testified Against Wilier and Johns.
