LIBERALISM V. "JINGOISM."

The following is our revised 'feral in of an arid.
which appeared in a Poole Tory newspaper of recent
date i—Whenever Lord Beaconsfield crukes up hia
mini to appeal to the country, whether that be to-
morrow or • year hence, the Tory a ire-pullers will
receive • severe shock from • quarter whence they
least expect it. They will find the bulk of the work-
ing class voting for the Liberal candidates. This
result will come to most of them in the nature of sour
prise ; for those gentlemen, although they are the
self-styled philosophic party, and wisdom will die
with them, yet, for Vie most part, they inhabit a fool's
paradise, and never will believe in the possibility of
disaster until it hem actitally overtaken them. Bet in
point if fact there will be nothing extraordinary or
Inexplicable in the Liberal vote td the working men
at the general election. It will he the most natural
and reasonable thing In the world, and the wonder
would be only if it were cast in the opposite scale. In
order to properly understand the m itiers, the senti-
ments, and the action of the English working class, it
Is necessary to remember its relation to the two great
political parties in the State. Now it is weldknown
that, for generations, the Conservative (or Tory) party
have coquetted with and patronised the work-
ing class with a view to obtaining its political sup-
port against the Liberal party. But it is not so well
known that that alliance never a very cordial
I,n, hes itng since causal to have any force.
For a time working men were captivated by the comic-
WOUSiOrI of their patrons ; but by-and-bye they
discovered that they were merely being used as
pawns on the political cheae-board, and that their
interests, much mouthed over on platforms and in
the pre., were, when the time for actiml arrive-I,
quietly and cynically set aside or subordinated to the
exigencies of party warfare. %Vitia • body of mu so
acute and intelligent as English artisans such a pro
cess of humbug and bambetzle iulil not long
prevail, and for some time past resentmet.t more than
respect, itrlignetion more than gratitia le, has lteen
the uppermost feeling hi the heart. of English work-
men towards the "great" Conservativo party. This
explains the present unp tpulerity of the Conservative
party. I,orl Beac outfield', blunders and main:tons
have been numberless. In 1874 Lord Besoousfield
was the popular idol, because the people re thy know
very little about him, and believed him sincere in his
fieshanidblieel pri 'positions for an ex ension of the
franchise. But when Lord Beaconsfield came into
power and submitted • onnpreheneive scheme of
reform to Parliement, the workmen were before very
long surprised and shocked to find that the author of
so many professions vowed impl gable hostility to the
projects of his talented rival. These imprudent
deceptions let in • flood of light upon Lord Beacons-
field's political morality, and his subsequent con-
duct, his venomous spleen towards Mr. Glad-
' stone has made it impossible for his countrymen to
forget it. And the magnitude of the question. over
which the Conservative leader lately betrayed his
personal feelings greatly aggravated hi. deuce in the
ern of his former admirers. It may be permissible
bye low political morality (orrice' politicians to juggle
and trim on minor points, if thereby they can gain
their ends. But it is very different when national or
imperial interests are at stake; and woe be to the man
whit will first endanger these interests by the yetis:iee
of his listempered brain, by the chiblida outbursts of
his disappointed rage, and then come before the
English working class for an endorsement of his
conduct. He will have bet • abort shrift and scant
forbearance, as Lord Beaconsfield will shortly know to
his cost, and as he will learn afresh during the
approaching elections. So much for the broad, I
round of patriotism, and for the considerations which
appertain to it, These considerations, we may rely
upon it, will not be forgotten by working men on
election day, for there is no class in the community
more jealous of the national honour, or more willing
in spite of Sir Stafford Northit ite's preaching, tom
ucrifices In its defence. But there are other and
special grounds—grounds of 'elfish class interest—
which will doubtless govern a considerable portion of
the working clue vote at the coming elections. Workmen
will remember when they go to the poll that, what-
ever may have been Conservative professions of frater-
nity, it was • Liberal Minister (the present ex-Premier)
who gave them the penny post and reduced taxation.
They will also remember that it is to Mr. Gladstone
that they owe vote by ballot, a !surplus of about six
millions, and the abolition of army purchase. Three
measures are facts, hard and tangible, and not a mare
mouthful of glib and insincere phrases ;and as English
workmen are neither the fools nor the ingrates they are
assumed to be by Conservative stump, orators, theme
facts will doubtless bear their rich and natural fruit
whenever the artisans of the country are called upon
to give their judgment !between Conservative jingoism
and Liberal aratumen, who can rule our mighty
station.—Pook Telegram'.
