A RADICAL REVIEW OF POLITICS.

Fawcett ileelanal Mr. Gladstone the great nit political
leader if the age, and said that he now re than ever

Government with " plundering and 1,1 lering by the
Endowed Schools Bill and called on all who cherish tine
principlon of religi .... s equality to arouse themselves
against such in policy of reaction and injustice. Within the
last few weeks a remarkable change hail occurred in the
position of the Government. The Cahinet w:44 disunited

It is now easy to true many of the agencies that were
employed in the manufacture of the great Conservative

Directly the Conservatives came into power every
grievence was to be redressed, every demand was to he

was to be administered in a generous and opetehaaded
manner. Officers in the anny soil navy, eh il service clerks,

less otheni easterly antici tatted the triumph of Conservatism,
as if it would be the advent of an age of golden plenty.
Magnificent promises were sown broadcast over the land.
Putilicans were to be avenged : the brewers were to have
every want carefully attended to; the farmers were
at last to enjoy the greatadvantages which those who were
their only true friends had for so many yearn never had an
opportunity of conferring upon them. Butas it is in private.

which are made the more keen is the disappointment
which is felt if they are not kept. The titililieans, who

definition of a populous place. What have the brewers
received for all their valuable aervices ? In innocent ex•
pectation they waited at the Treasury, thinking that the
very least they should get would be the repeal, of the
brewers licence, but all they obtained was a polite request
to answer the perplexing question—where was the money
to come f min 1 But the unkindest cut of all was reserved
for the "British farmers." liow often had they been
told in countless tineecliesatchanitersof agriculture and at
ntarket ordinaries that the thing dearest to the heart of the
'onservative was the repeal or reduction of the malt duty ?
Never before was there such a chance of doing something
for malt. A surplus of no less than five or six millions hail
to be given away, and malt was not even noticed. When
the Liberals were in office the farmers hail at least the
satisfaction of teeing their cause supported by a goodly
array of county members, but no sooner had they
triumphantly placed a Tory government in (Mine than they
found themselves stranded and deserted. Only eighteen
members voted last session in favour of doing anything
for malt. No wonder that resolutions hail been passed
at chambers of agriculture expressing keen and bitter
disappointment, one well.known agriculturist declaring,
admist the cheers of his brother farmers, that if time
was what the Conservative victory meant they would
take good care not to give themselves the trouble of going
to the poll again. It was a sorry consolation to then, to
be reminded by a member of the government who was
present, and who was placed in office as a special friend of

the well-known razors at the fair, which were "made to
sell" but not to cut. It will, however, perhaps be said,
" See how much relief has been given, and now much
more is promised to the over.hurdenat payers of local
taxation ; no leas a sum than £IAO.OOO is to be taken out
of the Consolidated Fund in aid of the local rates." Has
the farmer the smallest security that if, in consequence
of the extension of this system of grants from the Consoli-
dated Fund, be has to pay a hundred a year le,, in rates,
he will not be called upon to pay a hundred • year more
in rent? May not his landlord say to hini—" Before this
you paid 4:1,200 a year in rent and £3no a year in rates;
you now have to pay only .C2OO a year in rates, and there-

The Chancellor of the Exchequer had discounted the

the revenue no far it is perfectly evelont that instead of

carefully consider the causes which led to their defeat,
and if they bear in mind some of the prondnent aspects
of the present political situation, they must not only
feel hopeful, but they must come to the conclusion that
the day is not fardistant when Liberalism will again be
in the ascendant.
