THE LORDS WILL FIGHT.
LQnSdO1cne ThrO1Cs Dozen Gauntlet
to the Commons.

London. Aug. The vexed question whether
the House Of Lords would interfere with the
budget. an action which the Radicals say would
be unconstitutional appears 10 be settled by the
pronouncement of Lord Lansdowne, leader Of
the opposition in the Lords. in a speech at
Calne, Wiltshire tonight Expressing the be-
lief that the working classes desired tariff re-
form and not the taxation Of capital and the
appropriation of property, he suggested that the
House Of Commons may no longer represent the
viii of the people
Those who advsnce the extreme claim in
behalf Of the Commons" he said. declare that
any measure. however violent, however little il
may have been discussed in Parliament. and no
matter whether il has been properly put before
the people, must be passed the heads of
the House of Lords. The scheme OF the House
of Lords is much more moderate. We recognize
that the will of the people must prevail in the
end but Ve demand that the people ~ the ooiin-
try be given full and sufficient opportunity to
express that will with full and SUFFICIENT knowl-
edge Of the subject.
Upon that ISSUE added Lord Lapsdowne.
"the Lords are ready TO try conclusions I'm the
great struggle which must surely be upon
before very long The Lords are ready TO meet
their adversaries. and Will accept the verdict OF
the people"

I1cO Sets of Duties ire Placed ON
Harness. S0ddIery. Etc.
GFrom The Tribune Bureau

washington Aug. An error has been dis
covered in the Payne tariff bill 10y which two
rates OF duty are imposed on harness. saddles.
saddlery IN sets or in parts. finished or unfn-
lshea Paragraph $50. amended by the con-
current resolution adopted on the last day of the
session provides duty Of 20 per cent on these
articles
Paragraph 46l, however. enumerates the same
articles and fixes the duty at 80 per cent al
Nalorem. OF course the discrepancy should have
been removed by providing in the Joint resoIu
tion for the elimination Of Paragraph 4s1 but
this apparently was overlooked In view of the.
fact that there can be no doubt as to the intent
of Congress. il is regarded as practically GER
tain that the Treasury Department will ignore
Paragraph 46l. and will collect only 20 per cent
ad valorem as Congress intended il should do
