All of the opposing speeches partook of

snd Ixiuls N. Hammtrling of Wllkesbarre.

the miners' leader is a member. Mr. Ham
merllng will remain In New York the
greater part of .the week on matters per
taining to. the conference. The three dis

BALFOUR ON TARIFF REFORM
Former Freinier Speaks at Banquet for
Cooiervatives in London.
REPLIES . TO JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN
He Mas Ilia policy la Designed to
Offset KrTects of Hostile
Tariffs of Other
Aatloas.
LONDON, Feb. 12. Former Premier Bal
four was tne principal speaaer at a ban
quet given tonight by tne conservatives
of the city of London to Sir Edward Clarke
and Alhan Glbbs. There were ; present.
Including a nuinlier of the most prominent
men of tne city. Mr. Glbbs and Sir Edward
Clarke responded briefly to the toast, -our
Guests."
Mr. Halfour, whose speech had been an
ticipated with Intense interest, as his re
ply to Joseph Chamberlain's pronouncia
mento. spotte at great length, confining
himself mainly to fiscul questions. Mr.
Halfour maintained that the results of the
general election could not be accepted as
a final verdict against fiscal reform.' lie
declined to argue the question of protec
tion against free trade, hut maintained that
the policy be has hitherto advocated Is
altogether apart from the controversy. Mr.
Balfour said his policy was designed, so
far as might be possible, to diminish the
burden on British industries, due to hostile
tariffs other Industrial countries have Im
pose Jn countries where hostile tariffs
did no) cxint. It was the intention to pre
serve neutral markets and at the same
time preserve the interests of the llritlsh
colonies on an equal footing. It was. lie
said, a policy intended to maintain an in
creased foreign market for British manu
factures. Protection was an attempt to
keep the home market against equal com
petition from foreign countries.
question of Markets.
Mr. Balfour said the sentiment luvoiing
his policy was not decreasing, but Increas
ing and unless It Is carried out, he be
lieved as the world became more and more
Industrialized and as civilized nations
brought more and more the weaker na
tions under control, the question of mar
kets for Great Britain would assume pro
portions which could not be Ignored. The
world saw great nations using not only
diplomatic, but their whole military and
naval force in order to push their com
merce. To fight for British markets might
again be inevitable, but fighting is a bar
barous method, where negotiation might
succeed, and negotiation could never suc
ceed, unless it was backed by some power
of dealing with the country with whom
we might lie negotiating If the latter asked
extravagant . or,. Impossible terms.
Mr. Balfour said he viewed the industrial
conditions in the I'nited Kingdom with tho
greatest alarm. He said positively nations
which built up industries behind tariff walls
were acting foolishly, but nevertheless they
did. It and the result undoubtedly was in
jurious to the United Kingdom.
Mr. Bulfoiir asked: Was it possible to
carry out retaliation unless a general tariff,
formed a part of the scheme? He declined
to Cf-mmlt himself on that point, but h
said what the country had to make un its
1 nilnd fn m-at, t niia.llnn- - fa th. AnA at
which we. are aiming worth making a sac
rifice for?
Tariff Reform Delayed.
The cause of tariff reform, Mr. Balfour
said, must be delayed some years, but in
the meanwhile It was the duty of the op
position to the present government to point
out the mistakes of the latter and direct
the country along the best lines looking to
the future of the country. Continuing, Mr.
Balfour said that never had a government
lieen returned with a larger majority with
out a cause whlcii it wanted to carry out
and without any great personality to guide
it, but lie was ready to concede the present
government even longer life than five years.
In conclusion Mr. Balfour welcomed the
workingmen In Parliament, but said he
doubted if the present labor representation
was destined to Introduce legislation bene
ficial to the country, or which the unionists
could support.
New Labor Members Meet.
The new labor party members of Parlia
ment, to the number of thirty, who were
nominated under the auspices of the lubor
representation committee
held their first
meeting In u committee room of the Hou
of Commons today and elected J. Kelr
! Hardie chairman for the coming session.
I The members who attended the meeting
also decided that they would sit on the
opposition side of the house. This group
Is distinguished from the rest of the labor
party by the fact Unit it Is pledged not
to enter into an alliance with the radical
party, but to formulate its own Independent
program. '
The meeting also decided to co-operate
with the trades unionist members on labor
bills without formally allying themselves
with that party.
