It was organised by the Sydenham and forest Hul Conservative Associations, and there was a verv largo audience. Mr. Arthur H. Vo?*61 presided, eupjwrted on the platform by Mr. W. Joynson Hicks.

When the old machinery went 10 the scrap heap it was generally irnlactw by something bolter. There was no doubt the Chancellor of_tho Exohoquer could not aoe hia way to_flnd money. The Prime Mini-etitt'was Chancellor of the Exchequer when Mr. Lloyd Glt;»rge was ut the Board of Trade. Now it w-nild be Mr. Lloyd GeoTge to tax the country, and not the Prima Minister, who wag very clever man. | Mr. Asquith aaid it was a good thing for the country when capital left it. If they ,were bankers and not-producere, it might be, but when tho wagon that earned the inter-eat on the money were-paid in another country, the English workman did not benefit (Hear. hear).

That night they would be able t add tlieir voice and vote to the decisive answer which wa- given at Croydon at that moment. They had met at a time of calm, lint of gTett anxiety. A* Englishmen it behoved them tlt; consider the position in which they stood at the moment, • I Mi v could not do better than send Major Coates back to Westminster with the assurance that liehind him he bad the support f hi* cmstituent* in the vote he was to give that night (applause). They were a-surod that the pre*i nt critical state of afiiiim hail boon brought about by one or two fish members of the present Cabinet He was afraid they had placed the art* cf the j~-litii-i.ui before that statesmanship which *l:o ild above all secure the safety of tin* land in which they lived. He believed the most unscrupulous of those politicians w.v Mr. Win-t n Churchill. They voiced ilull night the innermost wishes of the Borough •!

Ho could not do better than quota the word- of Mr. Solan-': It is a t.-rrible gamble. 1-*eni:se tlie stakes of the game arc our homes, our women, our children. and that great lieritage which we in-fierited from *:ir f ircf.iiliers, and which they were willing t • buy f..r us at the cc*-t of their lives ” (cheer-).Cr. R. Jackson seconded the motion; and swiid ho did oo because it accurately described the folding* of that meeting a:id of tho country. The Government said that our imports were paid for by exports. |This would mean that i£ the butcher .brought a shilling's worth of beef to the baker, he would receive a sixpenny loaf in exchange. St was important tliat wc should remain sovereign of the seas. A foreign nation superior to ours could bring us to its feet without setting foot on our ehore6, so much do wo depend upon supplies from outside.MR. JOYNSON HICKS.llmtsupi»rted the motion. He remarked that was the first lime he had hoard Major Coat* make a great speech. In spite of the fact that whenever lie had asked their member to attend his meetings in Lancashire. Major Contes had replied that he did not care for *peocluiiuklng; after having heard his speech, be would certainly report to the-ortthetheintheyChief whip that Major Coates made th of spjc-ch that was to bo considered fc good of the cause and the good © country. The Government had fade everything, bnt the climax was when failed in that njjvy which was the greatest cause of England's pride. Ever since the Fiownt Govcmmont had been in power they had wvibb'cd.
