Loudon, Nov. 25.-The Duke of De vonshire presided and was the princi: ~ speaker at a great demonstration Queen's hall, last night, under the auspices of the Free #ood League. It was the dukes first public speech since his resignation as lord president of the council and the first meeting active propaganda of the Tarif He form League. The hall was packed and the pro minent personages were given a tre mendous reception, The Duke of De vonshire was given a great welcome. He said : : "There might be differences of opin- ion concerning the extent to which re- taliation might legitimately go. Some members of the league were not alto- gether d' to some form of pro- tection, but they were all united and prepared to revist to the utmost the imposition of any protective taxation on foad, or protective duties general ly." He himself claimed the right to oppose anything in the nature of a return to protection. Prolonged cheering followed this statement of the duke. Continuing, the speaker said that while the fiscal policy was not a party guestion there was nothing that the advocates of the scheme which emanated from the brain of a single statesman, would like better than a" (general election which would turn on this questionable one. The public liked a clear issue and such an issue had been placed before them by Mr. Chamberlain, who left the govern- ment in order that he might be free. Cheers and kisses followed this men tion of Mr. Chamberlain. TO BE LEADER. 1 Sonator 'Odell. GOVERNOR ODELL.

With certain limitations much might be said of the policy of retaliation, but it would only make matters worse, in addition to the existing hostile tariffs against them- selves they built up walls which would prohibit and restrict the importation of goods which for their own advan- keynote of the entire policy to which he took exception. Should the price of food be raised some compensation must be given to the workingmen. Ho was prepared to prove that Mr, Chamberlain's Glasgow budget would entail a tremendous loss to the con sumer, while the workingman's expen- ses would be increased ten per cent. He believed that no greater fallacy had ever been ants than that the prohibition or restriction of imports from abroad would increase the pro- fitable employment of capital and la- bor at home.

Malone, N.Y., Nov. 25.--Sharp eved customs officials near Althurg, Vt, made a raid on a thrifty farmer try ing. to smuggle a waggon load of dressed Thanksgiving turkeys from Canada into the United States.

No sooner had they pried open one bag than the man jumped from his seat and ran across the border, leaving the entire outfit to the offi- ciala. dow.
