My LoRD DuKE.--In the memorable year
1914, when the whole nation was drunk WIN
what is calle1i'Glory," was the only man who
dared openly to say, that misery, and not nap
Diness, mus, be the effect OF the boosted "gIo-
ry;" because the "glory" had been bought with
borrowed money which money had yet 10 be
paid, and to paw il was impossible, without
nrcduciac misery such as no nation on earth
ever before had o undergo. To reconcile the
nation, and particularly the landlords and far
mers, 10 this suffr ring, ! know OF no one so nj
as YOU, seeing that YOU were The chief agent IN
obtaining the "eiory," and can, doubtless, more
satisfactorily than any other man, explain 10
the inllcrheads, make il clear as daylight to
them, that they ought TO be happy, and their
families along with them, 10 let the Jews take
their las, acre from them in exchange Tor the
"immor,al g'ory"wi'h ~which,as MIR. Liddle fine
IL observed, from one of the seats of"wisdom"
you had adorned the brows Of "this grea, EN-
pirr." How Mr. Liddle NAV feel his share OF
the national, or imperial, brows adorned,
canno, saw; but, / will say for myself, that | Wish
for no adorhing OF This sort: :, being a very
plain man, am contenicd with smooth brows
as long as il will please God 10 let me have
such know that our destiny Is not to be a
voided: but, as a matter Of choice, want no
decoration Of my share ofthe Imperial" brows.
You. doubtless, can, more satisfactorily than
any other man, show the land owners how just
and reasonable il Is, tha, the Jews should have
their estates; while you, il any man can, will
make i, PLAIN 20 MIR. fIuskisson, that TO keep
fore:sn corn out of the country is the true
wav OF promoting Zee trade. At he same time
i, mus, be allowed, thar you who have been al
the spending Of SO much Of the borrowed mo-
ney, seem 20 be 4 most proper person 10 see
tina, this borrowed money be duly paid; though
YOU, while the money was spending, did not, !
dare say, ever dream ct having any hand in the
sst!lins Of the aseaapt! Ks bpq nths In-ncy,

do, when ! had "the honour to serve his mejes-

saw. the Debt is the nations Debt. This is GU
rious enough 10 induce one TO STOP for a mo-
mrn, to contemplate it. Here is an army, the
service Of which is paid for by borrowed mo-
nry, out of which borrowing grows a debt, and
the army is the Kings while ;he Debt is the
nauun's! You thought, ! dare say, no more a.
bout the source Of the hundreds of millions Of
pounds, that you saw the spending of, than !
used 10 do about the scores Of quar,er>dollars s.

that | should become a famous man for tracing

you pretty nearly what Will happen to you and
