D., OUT OF DO..l !.4' 4tllStp'H"'' 49,

j In 1852 benjamin Diaraeli passed ahea
y of Gladstone in the cabinet Of Lord De
Q by. becoming chancellor Of the exchet
uer. Gladstone bucklel against hin
A supporting free trade doctrines. Disrac
boldly declared his financial policy to
to increase the area of direct taxation
t Whether there was a rivalry Of Irinclpl
; or of personality between him and Glad
stone will always be IN open question
Disraeli attacked Sir Robert Peel an'
bristled with fine invcctlye. Gladston
took the ultra respectable side, am
combcd Disraeli over for his freedom O
characterization, as when he said thai
"hc regarded a certain noblem1n. but die
not rcspccthim." He dc scribed Disraells
financial proposals as unsound and de-
lusive and condemned the principle OF
general direct taxation.
The ministry was leltcn, and Dis
raeli's nose was out Of joint. When Alb
ordecn formed a cabinet, Gladstone took
Disracli's place as chancellor Of the eX-
tIltti lttI.f lluSStIl, lOhNNtl Nto lA'N
chief man on the floor. Oxford sent
Gladstone to parliament again, and he
opposed free trade in foreign manUfac-
tured articles. Disracli taking the other
side. In bringing forward his "bul%et,"
as the scheme Of revcnue is named in
England, Gladstone showed particular
skill ia managing the bonds and settled
finances of England. lie was very
Scotchy and trimming. lie extended the
income tax, the legacy duty, and ad-
vanced the Tux on personal property and
made several remissions which brought
him adherentsin many branches Of trade.
The Radicals especially took Gladstone
into their regard.
This, indeed, was the main difference
between Gladstone and Disraeli-that
the former understood finance and tile
latter was Il bold foreign minister. Mr..
Disraeli's descent from Jewish fore
fathers should have assured a contrary
discrimination. But the Scotchman, it
has been well remarked. i, quite Il match
in finances for the Jew.
Disraeli's fame in England is associ-
atetl with his brilliant oratory, his eff.
Gent foreign policy ana lis literary TO-
manticism. He was particularly acute
IN sketching human character and was
probably the best obituary ~culo9ist in
the world q this time. Gladstone SUI
stltuted sentiment for imagination and
was ~perseve:lng in details. There WAS
a slight element of the interruptions and
adventure CT in Disraeli. The c~irculn-
of his marriage and his p~eerage
convey THEN mutation of one whose path
was a perso | one. Gladstone, on the
other band. with less genius was more
and lasting. Gladstone reduced
he national debt in a little while nearly
;Go, 000, 600, and this fact seemed mo-
nentous in England, where the public
'ebt is hardly ever decreased.

and persricuous as yestcr- y
