Salisbury Admits Failure of Free Trade.

We cannot look abroad intclhelterritories occupied by the great industries of this country without a feeling of sorrow and misgiving. I earnestly desire that such a state of labor could be established as would give to the laborer sufficient for his maintenance and comfort. * * * If you intend in this conflict of commercial treaties to hold your own you must be prepared, if need be, to inflict upon the nations which injure you the penalty which is in your hands—that of refusing them access to your markets. (Loud and prolonged cheers and a voice, “Common sense at last.”)— Lord Salisbury, May 18.
