Lord Salisbury on Free Trade.

London, Oct. 31. —The Marquis of Salisbury made a speech at Walford yesterday to a large audience. During the course of his remarks the prime minister referred to the agricultural question, and said: “Since the repeal of the corn laws we have had the strongest cause to lament that, though the protectionists resisted, their warnings had not been listened to more carefully. The repealers laughed at the idea of its injuring husbandry, but a lowering of prices resulted and free trade has almost killed husbandry in several counties.”
