A TORY CABINET MINISTER'S TES- TIMONY. Mr Cross, the Home Secretary in Lord Beacons* field's Cabinet, while speaking at Ormskirk on Thursday, made a speech on the secrecy of the Ballot. Coming from a Tory Cabinet Minister it is of the utmost importance. The Home Secre* tary stated distinctly that the Ballot is secret- ergo the Tory understrappers in the Welsh counties and boroughs who say it is not secret are saying that which is untrue. Mr CROSS, who was loudly cheered, said "I ,,111 bound in this place, for reasons which cause 1116 the deepest pain and regret, to begin my address to you as free and independent electors of South West Lancashire. I wish to remind you that yoU are free. You know that the voting you have to gl"'O on Tuesday next will be for the first tin fo far as this district is concerned, by Ballot. bair- inau has very properly reminded you that unde* the Ballot nobody knows how anybody votes, un* less the person himself chooses to make it kno,"), Bnt tha,t is not quite the extent of the protection which exists under the Ballot Acts as it at pre* sent stands aud it is quite as well that yo11 should be aware of this also, that not only Olle you free as to your individual votes, but nobody pan tell under the Ballot how the peopl0 of Urmskirk as a whole vote. You might have thought that when the papers were turned out 1 would be seen that there was a large number 0 voters in the district voting according to their con- sciences, and voting blue. Such, however, is no the case. because long before the votes are counter the papeis, by law, must be mixed up wih those of Liverpool and elsewhere, so that it will absolutely impossible for anybody', not only to say now any individual man in Ormskirk voted, bu bow Ormskirk voted generally."

MONEY MARKET. [SPECIALLY TELEGRAPHED.) LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, Money is still in demand on short loans, and full rates are required, the general charge varying from 2i to 2i per cent. Discount business remains very light, and the quotation for three months bills does not exceed 2§ to 21 per cent. The supply of capital is short. Ou Tuesday next, how- ever, dividend money will come on the market, and easy rates may then be looked tor. Renewed heaviness was observed on the Stock Exchange. The progress of the elec- tions is viewed with growing dissatisfaction by members of the House, where the Con- servative element greatly predominates. istock. in consequence, continues to be offered, and in a majority of cases quotations again show weakness, but the variations are comparatively slight, and the tendency at the close of business was more favourable than during the earlier hours. It is very probable that inactivity will be the character- istic of the itiarlieti until the elections have been finally completed. Consols 1-16 lower for delivery, 7 15-16 to 81 1-16, and unaltered for the account, at 98 1.16 to 3-16. Reduced and New Three per Cents, 96 to i. The English Railway market opened heavily. Not much was done, but the dis- position was to sell consequently all stocks showed weakness. The dulness yas chiefly attributable to the elections, but attention was also directed to the wet weather, which, whilst of great benefit to agriculture, pro- mises to interfere with the passenger traffic. Towards the close of business the market became steady, the passenger lines much stronger, and there was also enquiry for Caledonian, Great Northern A, and Great "Western. All other stocks showed some re- action from the lowest points. Metropolitan District rose 1 i Great Northern A £ Cale- don, Brighton A, Chatham i North British fell North Western, Midland, North Eastern, t; GreatEastern i; South Eastern 4. 1030 J. Indian Railways did not meet with much attention. For Canadian Railways the mar- ket was at first weaker on a few speculative realisations, but the final prices showed s-pine improvement on tiic day. Grand Trunks, 1st Pref., rose Ii, 2nd :3, and 3rd 4 Amongst American Railways quietness prevails. Movements are of no particular importance. The tone is weak, but at the close greater steadiness prevailed. Erie rose J to i; Atlantic and Great Western, 2nd mortgrge, f Illinois Central fell 4 Fopein Railways were quiet, with but few varia- tions. Dealings in Foreign Securities were re- siricted. Egyptians were weaker, owing to a fslung olf in demand on French account. Russians were firm, some purchases being effected from Berlin. Turks were rather unsettled, with a weak tendency but French, Italian, and United States issues were firm. South American stocks were mostly neglected. Russian rose to Egyptian Unified, i; other issues fell t Hugarian Gold, 3-16; Turks, to g. Scarcely anything has been done in telegraphs, and the fluctuations were ex- tremely slight.

Shipments of live cattle are no v beginning to come forward more freely, prices tending upward. Extra India mess beef- importers l aving-confidence in the market, have gone in for liberal purchases, and cleared the stock on the other side packers are now asking an ad- vance of 4s per tierce over last week's prices, several preferring to close down altogether rather than go on at the unremunerative prices ruling for the past six weeks. The stocks on this side show a considerable increase over last year, but are principally composed of prime and India mess, of which the market was antirely bare twelve months ago. There is a fair enquiry, and holders anticipate a considerable advance in price, as the stocks in Liverpool are only a little over 1.000 barrels.

GLASGOW IRON MARKET. The market has again been dull throughout the week. There being an improvement for the de- mand abroad, the shipments continue very large, but the purchases made on account of the United States several weeks ago are only now being got away, and of fresh orders, none of any consequence are now being received. As is natural in such cir- cumstance, the price3 have still further declined, although not to so great an extent as in the preced- ing week. Some merchants here are of opinion that the decrease in value is bound to exercise a favourable influence upon the trade at an eady date. During the week the warrant market has been week and irregular, and price touched 51810d, but there was a slight improvement, and the market closed only ld below the closing figure of last week. The demand for makers' iron is very slow, except in the case of No. 3 pigs, which are in requesj for foundry purpose*. Prices of iiiaket-s' iion show a decline of from Is to 3s on the week, and at the close of this afternoon's market they stood as follows No. 1, 58s 6d; No. 3, 54s 5d; Gartsherrie, G3s and 56s 6d Coltness, 65s and 60s Summerlee, 65s and 56s; Calder, 63s aud 56s; Gleng.^ock, 60s and 56s; Eglinton, 59s and 54s 6d; Lallwellin^fon, 59s and 54s 6 1; Sootts, 638 6d and and 60s 6d.

The steel trade is busy. Little improvement in coal ti a le. Miners threaten to strike against re- duction of wages.

#- MR POWELI. AND Mil JOHN JONES. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. SHt,-1 am surprised at the offensive tone adopted by Mr John Jones, the Tory candidate for Carmarthenshire, towards MrW. R. H. Powell, the Liberal candidate for the same county. Mr Jones is continually harping on Mr Powell as a betting man, a racing man, and a hunting man. I consider that Mr Jones does this in an ungen- tleniauly way. Mr Jones says that Mr Powell is a betting and racing man. Still there is nothing dishonourable in this. Of course not. O i! dear, no. Mr Jones would not insinuate it for a moment. But then he reminds us again that Mr Powell is a racing man, and that there is no reason in this world why betting or hunting men should therefore, because they are such, represent an agricultural constituency. I agree with him in that. No logic but Tory logic for the north of ( lar- martheushiie would drag in such a "therefore" I as the one in the present case, and I am glad to see that even a man to dense as Mr John Jones sees the fallacy, But although because It man is a hunting and racing man he is not therefore" the best man to represent a constituency, the fact that he is a racing or hunting maa does not disqualify hIm from going to Parliament for a county. Why, nearly every Tory squire in Parliament is a hunting or racing man, andj HO are hundreds of Liberal members also. Mr Jones plumes him- self-like the publican in the liaral-ic-that he is not a racing man but the reason is, be has not brains enough for such a form of recreation. Then Mr John Jones sneers because Mr Powell was once a Tory, and is now a Liberal. Well, Mr John .Jonps was once a Methodist, and now he is a Churchman. At any rate his mother was a Methodist, and 1 presume he was brought up in the Methodist faith. He was once a boy, and now he is a man he was once poor, and now 1 e i- rich. A man can no more resist the growth of and uhaoge in his opinions than he can the growth of his stature, or of the fortune which his talents force him to accumulate. Does it suit Mr John J one's to go u: ck 25 years, and rake up Mr Powell's antecedents? They will bear looking iiito. Mr Jones thinks that by going back 25 years, he has made a great hit. Perhaps if the Liberal party went back to the beginning of Mr John Jones's career, they might find some things 6tLG of « iiicli they could make some political cii ital. But the game is not a nice one to play, and the Liberals do not choose to play it. Let mo ask Mr John Jones what disgusted Mr Rowell with the Tories ? It was because the Tory Party, headedhv Lord Cawdor, in 1868, shame- fully'deserted Mr David Pugh, their faithful idly, and eiit in tor Puxlcy and John Jones. The Tory party followed the house of Ctwdor-t,) defeat, but Mr Powe'l stuck to his friend, although lie was a racing man. The Tories tarnished their fair fame by their shameless desertion of Mr Pugh. Let me tell Mr John Jones that his doom is sealed. "The county is beginning to find him out." The people are sick of his stupid views on education and taxation. "PIUlhp for Powell 11 has gone through the county, and they will "Plump for Powell," too. Tho Carmarthenshire Clp will go-not to Blaeuos, but to Maesgwynue. —Yours, &c., CRITIC.

KILSBY JONES ON THE ELEC- TION AND THE BALLOT. THE MORALITY OF POLITICS. EXTORTING PROMISES AND BREAK- ING THEM. Being market day, the Rev. Kilsby Jones paid a visit to Crickhou ell on Thursday, to support the re-election of Mr Maitland. He. accom- panied by Revs. J. Evans, J. Jenkins, and D. Thomas, Llangunider, ascended the platform. The Rev. KILSBY JONES remarked that at the last election it was his (the speaker's) pain- ful duty at Hay, to catechise Mr Howel Gwyn (the Conservative candidate) very closely. Amongst other things ho aske 1 Mr Gwyn, is this ballot safe—because secret?" "I hope so" re- plied he—" Hope won't do for me, Sir." I should think so," said Mr Gwyn but "think go" wouldn't do for him, and Sir Joseph Bailey, With the gallantry of a gentleman, stood forward, seeing that Mr Howel Gwyn was compromising the Conservative side and said, It is safe The people wouldn't believe him (the speaker) they called him a lying, dirty Dissenting parson. (Laughter.) Sir Joseph was the scripture of Toryism. His name was an authority, and it was by virtue of that manly declaration that they (the Liberals) won the election. They were having a hot contest iu Brecon, and they naturally asked him what was to be the result. He didn't know. He never whistled" out of the wood," no, not till he had seen the last stick. (Laughter.) Would Mr Maitland be in ? He didn't know, but he ought to be. (Cheers.) and if the Liberals were true to their principles he would be. As to Wales,Wales was pre-eminently the home of Nonconformity. That meant Liberal- ism—advanced, enlightened. Could a Nonconfor- mist be a Tory? Could fire be co]d? Could water be dry ? Could light be darkness ? Could righte- ousness be unrighteousness? Nonconformists were the teachers of Liberal principles. They had had to suffer for them. Their opponents spoke of their ministers as "preachers," as if that were a mark of contempt. He was glad some of them were able to preachand preach the devil out of those confounded Tories. (Laughter.) Toryism alway appealed to their backs, the stomach and their bellies Liberalism to their convictions, and in the freedom they possessed they could breathe tiieipure air of the mountains, and stand upright and say, "I am a man." Let the farmers a, remember that they were as necessary to the landlords as the landlords were to them. Some one would say that he was trying to sow dissension between landlord and tenant. Nothing of the kind but he wanted them to act in the coming struggle like men, and the landlord ould treat them as men. They were not now told that the Ballot was not secret. They knew it was. And if it were not secret, what was the inference he was to draw ? Would their opponents punish them? Did they look upon them as eo many pigs, horses, or wild mountain ponies for the market, to be sold to the highest bidder. In what century were they living, pray? Did the Tories mean to threaten them ? Threaten! A man that threatens cannot do much, and a man that would be frightened by a threat was not the shadow of a man, or the great grandson of the shadow of a man. (Laughter.) As to the Western Mail, he always felt comfortable when it abused him. If the Western Mail praised him, they must put it down that he had lost his character. (Laughter.) He was not afraid of free speech. He was only afraid of rowdyism and blackguardism. Let any Tory speak out what he liked, but if he could he would try to upset his carriage. (Hear. hear.) Let there be perfect freedom ot speech. The speaker con- demned the Imperialism of Lord Beaconsfield, who, he thought, would make a splendid Prime Minister to Nebuchadnezzar. (Laughter.) What was the fate of his Imperialism ? Let the heaps in which Babylon lay tell. Mr Jones, referring to an observation of the chairman, said that a better landlord than the Tredegar family could not be found, and he believed they had returned 20 per cent to their tenants, and Mr Maitland had returned 25 per cent to his. He did not wish anything said unfair to any one, as they fought only upon principles. As a man said of a shoemaker, he was an exceedingly nice man-except as a shoemaker—but as a shoemaker he wouldn't have anything to do with him. (Laughter.) The proceedings then came to a close, ATTEMPTED CONSERVATIVE MEETING. Mr Sydney Da vies and Mr E. G. Davies imme- diately ascended the wagon. Mr E. G. DAVIES said that Mr Jones had not gone- into the question of politics at all, but had only made some general ren)arks of a social char- acter. He (the speaker) wished to call the atten- tion of the electors to some remarks made by Mr Evans at a, meeting at Forest Coal-pit, as reported in the Badical organ. Mr Davies, producing the Western Mail, read the quotation from John Bull's' comment in that pper-" There were 600 liars in the county, lie would not be surprised if there were 800 this time. (Laughter, in which the reverend gentleman probably joined.)" Now, he would say, if a minister of the gospel asked one of his congrega- tion to tell a lie, he was not fit to be a minister of the Gospel. He (the speaker) thought the people ought to turn round on such people, simply be- cause he, as a minister of the Gospel, had said such a thing. It was a disgraceful proceeding, and he didn't care whether it was a Roman Catholic, a Churchman, a Dissenter, or anything else, he had no businesstosaythatpeoplecould tell I;e. They should bring up their people in the right path. and not teach the abominabiedoctrineoflying. He believed that if Mr Maitland—(loud cheers) —were present at this meeting—(continued cheering)—waitja bit. He thought if Mr Mait- land, who was a personal friend of his, were there—he was almost certain if he heard that speech, lie would say to himself that it was most disgraceful. (Hear, hear.) Mr Maitland did not want to represent 800 liars and he repeated it was a most disgraceful thing in a Christian land. At this point Mr Kilsby Jones and Mr Evans Iagain mounted the wagon, and Mr Evans said, I'll just put before you the remarks I made at Forest coal pit. I told the meeting that I had heard that it had been stated by a Con- servative that there were 600 liars in the county, and all that I said was that I would not be surprised to find on the same scale there would be 800 liars this time if pressure was put upon them by Conservatives to vote con- trary to their consciences. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I added that I would rather be a liar in favour of the richt than be guiltv of voting against my con- science. (Mr E. G. Davies: You ought not to be a liar at all.) I only made a.choice between two sins-the sin of making a promise—(Mr E. G. Davies Why should you make a promise ?)—The ctioice was between two sins—a bad one and a worse one—the sin of breaking a promise in favour of the wrong, and the sin of voting against my conscience, and I leave it to you to say whether mv choice is good or not. (Cheers). Mr E. G. DAVIES It is all very well—(inter- riii,tions)- fire away—(continuing) we have had canvassing bv both parties, and if they promised, they should keep to their promise. I hope there are no liars on our side. It shows the chapel screws more than ever, and it is not according to conscience. Rev. J. JENKINS here stood up and said: As ar e that was at the Forest coalpit meeting, I should like for this meeting to show whether they approve of what Mr Evans said or not. The speaker wished them to express it by a show of hands, whereupon a great number of those present held up their hands, as also for the other side V I the question, which was also put to them. Mr E. G. DAVIES Carried unanimously, (Laughter.) Mr KILSBY JONES put the following question.to Mr E. G. Davies :—Is a promise exacted under pressure or coercion legally binding ? Mr DAVIEB You oughtn't to tell lies. Mr JONES: Don't go about fumbling. Answer the question. Mr DAVIES: Who has coerced them?' Mr T;SYDNFY DAVIES here essayed to speak, amidst a good deal of laughter, and the earnest solicitations of Mr Kilsby Jones, who begged ihim to remain quiet a bit. Mr KILSBY JONES And secondly, is a promise exacted under pressure or coercion morally bind- ing on me?j "I Mr E. G. Davies (hesitating) I do not say any- thing about that at all. Mr JONES I say you must, or decline to answer. I tell you, sir, that any promise wrung out of me under pressure, or, it may be, only hinted, or plainly expressed, is not legally or morally binding. Mr SYDNEY DAVIES: Why should you promise at all ? Mr J ONES Simply because the screw is put on, that's all. (Laughter). Mr Jones then said a few words in Welsh. Mr E. G. DAVIES said he didn't understand it. Mr JONES Then the thread is worn auk and there is no catch. (Laughter.) Mr Davies wishes to convey the insinuation that Dissenting ministers wish the people to tell a lie-only last night I heard the son of a clergyman—a barrister on the South Wales Circuit—Mr Llewellyn. He said, I am a clergyman's son. and I say that no promise wrung out of a man is either legally or morally binding." w Mr Kilsby Jonas then left the wagon, and Mr E. G. DAVIES eaid I am glad to make th acquaintance of Mr Kilst".7 Jones. I am sur that man is a ^reat Conservative. Mr E. G. Davies then left the wagon, and intimated his intention of going to have a cigar with Kilsby. I,"
