Abstract
The tourney at Westminster on Dec. 4 was a joyous passage of arms in which the lances of the knights of Cobden dominated in the House of Commons, and champions of dyestuffs were driven from the lists. The ten years’ chapter of protection is ended; those worthy burghers of the textile industry who, with the chains of foreign dye merchants round their necks, knelt before Lord Moulton and prayed for deliverance, have forgotten their cry of ‘never again’! Fortunately, an amendment was carried in the House of Lords on Monday to extend the Act for twelve months in order there may be a full and impartial investigation into the state of the dye industry. At the eleventh hour, therefore, it is possible that the subject will be taken from the slough of politics and considered in the light of ascertained knowledge.
