We note with pleasure the continued growth of the Unionist

Free-Trade Club. The following, amongst many others, have recently been elected members :—Lord Hugh Cecil, M.P., the Right Hon. Sir West Ridgeway, the Right Hon. F. J. S. Foljambe, the Right Hon. Jonathan Hogg, Sir Edward Birk- beck, Bart., Sir George Gibb, and Sir Montagu Turner. Now• that the Unionist Free-Trade Club is growing so strong in membership, we trust that it will pursue a vigorous policy. It is of little use for Unionist Free-traders merely to associate' under a Free-trade designation. They must also make their Free-trade views effective, and by deeds, not words.
