oours., to the elrotunstauees and oulditions of things.
and did not mean for a moment to uphold a polity
which, to relieve you from the hammerer, would i

pose upon you talesman grievous—(reer, hear). W,ll,
then, Mr. Gladstone says, in the toirl place, " Ars
you prepared to diminish the duties upon &Mobs of
general oon-umption ?" If there be a surplus which
permits us to reduce duties upon article. of general
consumption, I am for reducing duties on article of
general consumption. I Fay so with thie ion.
I think it most unwhet, after all the r. ducting' which
has been made in articles of general consumption, If we
extinguish any source or breasts of revenue whieh
exists. I think this has been carried to too great an
extent. Ido not say that there are not &ilia s
general consumption, if we had the means, which we
may not reduce the duties upon. At the same time,
I am not prepared to pledge myself with regard to the
appesl of the inoomed.ax or any die, et tax, or any
specific scheme whatever. Let us first realise the
surplus, and not talk of repeal ou only a speculative
surplus--(hear, hear). Let the 6natoial year be termi.
rated—let us see what wo hayo i:. hand. Then let us
distribute those moneys in • mar nor which we thizk

have reference to ,übj es with which 1 am upst
familiar. Iu ell of them t ore is much truth, and
though to some of them I aliou'd only eve a quelled
adheeion, they are most of them sul j- ota which I baee
mysat advocated. But time pretties, and I MUM
remind you before Igo of one subject in which I take
the deepest interest. I an. asked if I will vote for the
Landlord and Tenant Bill, or for • measure securing
occupiers compeosation for the uneshattated valee of
their improvemente—(hear, bear).—(A Voice o. Hoe
about the road rate that Gladstone throwed on the
farmers e''). Well, that is am-s., and the Government
must take it up and consider it ; there Is no doubt
about Ileal—(l•ughter). But, gentlemen, as to the
relations between landlord and tenant, that is •
subject of importance which cannot be exaggerated.
Upon • good understanding between the owner and
occupier of land not only the duo cultivation of the
soil, but, I believe, the best interests of the country,
as regards liberty and order, depend. When 111 r. it•sad
gave dotioe of hie bill last year. I called my friends
together, ancl expressed to them my general views upon
the subject—views that I have always entertained. I
am in favour of the principle of the measure (Aeon).
—and I recommended my frisods to support the
principle of chit measure. There was great unanimity
upon the subject, we reserving to ourselves every sug-
gestion which I think would improve or pet feat it. But
I must say here, as I sail at Aylosibury, for I wish it
to be known, that I believe this quotation as to the
relations between landlord and teuant is capable of
easier solution than ti.• world appears resolved to
believe. My own opinion is that if the tenure of land
generally consisted of an agreement which secured a
two years' notice to quit, you would, I will not say
strike at the toot of all discontent. but you would lay
• great end broad bards that would ultimately bring
about • molt eatishotory and complete settlement—
(cheers). I know well an instance of • great pro-
prietor la this end the neighbouring county. He is a
man who thoroughly understands the question of lard
and the landed interests, and I kilo, that among his
tenantry that agreement has been introducied, and
gives general satiahoUon. I speak from my own ex-
perience of • tenet smaller estate where that system
has been practised, and sine, then never a murmur hen
been heard—(cbser.). No doubt there are other point,
which require attention, but we must be satisfied in
making great changes if we can make them step by
step—(hear, hear). What I place before you, as what
lam convinced may he the bests of the most sate-
factory settlement, will not at all impair or dinotoleh
those social relations of intimacy Let swoon the landlord
and the tenant upon which, and the thoro .gh
understanding of lb oie two classes, I bell ye the best
interests of England—its liberty and its order—mainly
depend—(ebeers).
