LORD DERBY ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS,
Lord Derby formally opened the Art
Town of Liverpool by Mr. Walker, the present Mayor, at a cost of about £40,000, There was a procession of trade societies through the town to the gallery. After the ceremony, the Mayor made a speech,
to provide a building suitable for the re* ception of art treasures and available for systematic art culture. In the evening
there was a banquet 4o the Mayor, presid« ed over by Lord Derby, who proposed Mr, Walker's health. which was very cordially drunk. In replying to the toast of his own health, Lord Derby said :—The gantle man who proposed my health in such flat
tering terms very naturally referred to the state of public aftairs. You will not exs pect me to say much about them, and especially as to what is passing abroad. It is neither my wish nor my duty to enter upon any controverted questions, address» ing, as | do, an audience composed of all political parties—and what is quite as much to the purpose is the position in which matters actually are—war having taken the place of diplomacy—you are ali
likely to happen. We have done what we could to avert this unfortunate quarrel. We failed in that; and, looking back on the past, [do not think that success was ever possible, There was on both sides a conviction that war must come sooner or later, and where that teeling exists medis ation is a very hopeless business. 1 do not think that the present moment is favorable for any interposition by third parties in the interests of peace. It is not the business of England to offer good offices without some reasonable pros. pects of their being accepted. But the time may come, it may not even be far distant ; and whenever, in our judgment, that time shall have arrived, be sure that we will not jose the opportunity. If I were to describe in one sentence the attitude and fzeling of the Government, I would say that we shall do what we can to pull our neighbors out of the ditch, but that in doing so we shall be very careful that they donot pull us in. [do not think our domestic aftairs are going to ttouble us much for the present. There does not seem to be any very “ burn-~ ing’ question; and for the last two years we have all of us been more occupied in
}watching our neighbors than in looking
after our own concerns. That is natural enough, There are not many people who can go on doing their usual business quiet- ly in their offices when their next neigh: bor’s house is on fire. Just now! should very much pity the man, whoever he might be, who undertook to get upa real live agitation on any dometic subject. How long that state of things may last is another question, but that it exists now is a matter about which there can be no mistake, But, gentlemen, we have a difficulty to deal with, one graver and more momen-~ tous than, perhaps, the public has yet realized, one in respect to which all par- ties and all classes will be of the same mind as to what they wish to do, but yet, notwithstanding our unanimity, we shall not find it easy to be done. We have to deal with the calamity of famine, on a scale to which European experience supplies no parallel. We have to act for a population little accustomed to act for themselves, and of a large part of whom it would be no exaggeration to say that death is felt by them as a less evil than the being put out of their accustomed ways of life. There is no difficulty in supplying food, That is a mere matter of cost, The trouble is to bring the people to it, or it to them. Rely upon it that the utmost care and constint thought of the Gov- ernment shall be given to this matter. It is even greater, in my mind, than what is called the Eastern question, and it is all the more sq because, unhappily we have no security that this .calamity which is pending now will be an isolated occur rence. We may have in India to study practically, and on the vastest scale, that question of the increase of population, compared with means of subsistence, which has dropped out of our minds as affecting this country. We have in Eng- land outlets of all sorts-—emigration, trade, manufactures of every kind and enormous accumulated wealth to draw upon. All these things are wanting in the East. We have established there order and peace. We have done away with the local wars; we have lessened the ravages of pestilence; and we. do what we can— and in ordinary seasons we do it with suc- cess—to mitigate the effects of destitution. rhe result is, naturally and necessarily, a vast increase of population; and if present appearances can be trusted we shall have in every generation a larger aggregate of human beings relying upon us for help in those periods of distress which must from time to time occur in a country wholly agricultural and liable to droughts. It isa difficulty which must be faced like all others, but to me it does not seem a light one. One moral only I would draw from it in this room. Many people, as we know, are fond of indulging the idea of farther and farther extension of the British Empire, as opportunity may occur, I think that those who hold that language hardly realise the magnitude and the weight of our present responsibilities. We must bear the burthen which the incal< rae course of human “events has laid upon us; but we need not, and [ think
