There is an excellent prospect now that with a more

stable Government ahead there will be a real revival of trade. May it come, and may it come quickly ! Con- fidence and a settled feeling can work miracles. We have written in our first- leading article about the lessons of the Election, and here we will only say that we devoutly hope that the Unionists will never forget that they must be a constructive Party. Let no Unionist ever forget that if Unionism becomes associated with a policy of reaction, or even of standing still, there will be a swing of the pendulum to the other extreme in two or three years, and a Socialist Government will be spoken of as the only alternative. * * * *
