The whole policy of " AM-in " insurance is taking

shape rapidly. We cannot call to mind any political idea which has appealed to so many people of different shades of thought, and has won not only their assent but their active support, in so short a time. We have read Mr. Baldwin's words with the utmost satisfaction, and congratulate him upon the discrimination and pene- tration which he has shown not only in taking up this scheme, but in giving the proper value to the arguments in its favour. He put his finger on the four arch-dreads which. afflict the mind of the hand-worker from the beginning to the end of his working life. The Unionist Party ought to give all its energy and authority to this great national amelioration, and we have great hopes now that under Mr. Baldwin it will do so.
