Show AMERICA IS'GIYEN PRAISE BY MORLEY LONDON, Jan. II. -John Morley d-, d-, voted a good . part of his first political speech since his return from the United State to bis experiences In America, in ; addressing his constituents at Brechin last night. Much had been beard about municipal .corruption In America, he said, ' but the country could sot be in such a , bad wsy when it could be said th recent candidates for the Presidency had each given proof positive of their Integrity and willingness to sacrifice personal alms rather than surrender what they conceived con-ceived to be sound principles. He did not despair of Democracy because people Justly pointed out faults in the working of the American system. Although there Is no established church in America, there Is. Mr. Morley declared, no country where religion is more genuine or earnest. On of th greatest struggles America has had to fight out was the relation between capital capi-tal and labor. Another ' apparently almost al-most Insolvable problem was ' the enormous multiplication and advance northward of the black population.- The retribution that followed wrong was finding find-ing America out in this problem, Just as heaven would one day send a bill to Great Britain for the folly and wrong of Chines labor in the Transvaal. He believed the revolt against high duties in America was growing too strong to be resisted, and while Britons are discussing the advantages of protection America is drifting toward free trade. |
