aLApsroNEs ELECTION ADDRESS.
UIoNpoN. March 12.-Mr. Gladstone has
lssned his election address, in which he
says; At home the Government have
NEGLECTED legislation, aggravated the dis
tress augmented the expenditures and
taxation, and have plunged the finances
handed to them in singular prosperity
4 Into series of deficits unexampled in mod
ern times. Abroad the Government has
strained its prerogative by gross misuse, and
. has weakened the Empire by needless wars,
improbable extensions and unwise engage
ments, and has dishonored' England by |
flching Cyprus by a clandestine treaty. 1t
\ has aggrandized Russia, and has lured Tur- |
KEY to ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and possibly ruin. |
\ It has also placed the Christians in Mace |
4 d0nia under d debasing yoke. and loaded
India with the cost of an unjustitiable war,
\ and has augmented her taxation and cur
D tailed her liberties
n SUBMISSION OF THE BUDGET.
Y LONDON, March 12.-In accordance with
\ his previous announcement Sir Stafford
\ Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
\ has submitted the annual Budget to the
y House of Commons. He said that while
he regretted to state that while there would
be q deficit of f3,340, 900 OH last years rev.
enue, few words would make 1t plain to
the House that this deficit was brought
about through an event which was not an
ticipated when the estimates were sub
mitted to the House one year ago. =
have been justified in predicting that war in
H0utn Africa would attain the dimensions
which it subsequently reached, nor involve
the Treasury for the cost Of snppressing the
outbreak in Zulnland which was f6, 1923, 900.
At this point expressions Of affected aston
ishment were heard from the opposition
benches. Sir Stafford waited for moment,
until the.House had become quiet, and then
with perfect GOODNESS repeated the state
ment. and added Hon ,rable members
can not regret idle expenditures or useless
loss of money when such loss occurs more
than myself. but l take occasion to assure
the House that in my opinion the South
African struggle was worth all, and even
more than it cost even when the item OF
blood so much more valuable than money,
u taken into account That strug-
gie has settled for ever the question OF
British ascendency in South Africa. When
the Chancellor stated that the govern
ment in its estimates for the coming year,
did not find it necessary to advise imposi-
ton ofany new tax, while at the same time
itdidn not propose o remove any, cheers and
counter cheers followed thsannouncement.
