A LIBERAL LORDS
STRONG LANGUAGE
LORD LoREBURN MAKES sENsA DECLARATION
LEAST OF HE HOUSE OF LORDS AS POLICY
OF NECEssTY-LoRD LANsDo VINE CONTENDS FOR RIGHT OF
PEERS TO REJECT

LONDON, November 22.-"It is my
opinion that it is impossible that any
Liberal Government can ever again
bear the heavy burden of office unless
it is secured against a repetition OF
treatment, such as other measures have
had to undergo for the last four years
This sensational declaration by Lord
Loreburn, Lord High-Chancellor in the
debate on the budget in the House OF
Lords today, had an electrical effect
upon the Liberal members of the House
of Commons, who crowded the gal
leries.
Quitting the galleries, they surged
into the Hobbies under the conviction
that they had heard the Government
last word before the general election;
that Premier Asquith will make 4
similar declaration in the House OF
Commons next week and, that the long
delayed campaign against the Lords
has now begun in earnest.
1t was held that Lord Loreburn' IS
statement would only mean that no
Liberal leader henceforth will accept
Office unless he receives a pledge from
the Crown that enough peers will be
appointed on the Premier's nomination
to secure the House of Commons
against interference from the House OF
Lords in financial matters.
CROWDS IN THE GALLERIES.
to the Irish home rule bill has publ
interest in the meeting of the upper
house equaled that shown today, when
the Lords met to commence debate on
the budget. This despite the fact that
the rejection of the budget bill is
foregone conclusion.
Early in the afternoon crowd gath
cred outside Westminster Palace, and
formed a long line from the entrance
| to the public gallery. Seats in the
strangers gallery had already been
allotted to distinguished visitors, the
most of these being reserved for dip
lomats. Every seat reserved fol
women below the bar was occupied.
The Earl of Crewe formally moved
the second reading of the budget, with
out offering a word in support OF the
measure, when is taken as an indi'
cation that the Government considered
the finance bill a subject in which the
House of Lords is not concerned.
Lord Lansdowne, leader of the OPP
position, Immediately moved its rejec'

ton. He quoted pfecedents to show
that. although the House of Lords
could not amend a finance bill, it had
full right to discuss it and to throw it
out if it SO wilied. Besides the pres
ent bill, he argued, had tackled to it
legislation SUCH as land taxation and
increased license duties which the
Lords already had rejected, and which
had been placed in the bill to OHst
the Lords from their legitimate OPP
portunity of dealing with the measures.
What, he asked, was to prevent home
rule from being introduced in the
finance bill There was no limit to
such abuses. The Unionists opposed
license duties because they were crush
ing in their severity; the same applied
to the land taxes.
PEOPLE MUST BE CONSULTED.
The people, he said, not having been
consulted, the peers had a clear duty
not to decree the final extinction Of
the bill, but to insist that, before it
becomes law, the county should be
allowed an expression of opinion. The
Lords had carefully considered con-
sequences of the rejection of the bill
and were ready to face them.
Lord Loreburn replied, contending
that there was nothing in the bill
foreign to finance with which the
House of Commons had the exclusive
right to deal. The attempt of the
, Lords to interfere, he declared, was the
beginning of a system that would lead
to constitutional revolution. What was
embodied in the bill was not new,
either in the United States or Germany
and had been approved, not only by
the present, but by the late House OF
Commons.
After the Lord High Chancellor,
many peers addressed the House, but
interest waned. The Duke of Norfolk
who supported Lord Transformers reso-
luton, confessed that the Lords had a
serious problem to face, but that 1t
should not daunt them in performing
their duty.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HARvEsrs.

Golden will be the harvests of 1909.
This is a free translation of the sta
tistics which were issued by the fed
eral department of agriculture the
other day on the conditions of the
crops of the land on August l. These
figures showed them to be better on
the average than were the enormous
crops of last year and also better
than has been the average for the
crops during the past ten years. More
than this could not be asked for or
expected by any one under existing
circumstances, even if there is a cry
ing need for the raising of more crops
in this country.
But the harvests OF this year will
make for prosperous conditions
throughout the nation, the like of
which have not often been enjoyed by
any people. The crop yields in other
chimes are not nearly large enough to
provide the wants of their popula-
lions. This means advantageous mar
kets for the surplus of the United
States crops. 1t means, also, that the
prices which the farmers will secure
will be generally better than they
have been of late. And unusual pros
perity for the farmer means the same
sort OF prosperity TOT almost the WHOLE
people of the country.
The railroad will reap the first ben
efits. Their capacities will be taxed
to the utmost to haul these crops from
the acres where they grow to the
places where they are needed. Re
tailers, wholesalers, manufacturers
and their employees, the country over,
will get their benefits, too, in va
riety of ways. The American farm
er of today is not a hoarder of gold.
He puts his money into new farm
buildings, new and modern houses,
new machinery, including the luxur-
ious automobiles. He and his family
wear the best of clothes and have the
best of everything. This means trade
and business in all of its fields of en-
deavor. Some optimists go so far as
to state that the prosperity at hand
will prove to be the greatest that has
ever been experienced by the people
of this or any other land. Whether
that be true or not it is certain that
the approaching prosperity will be
adequately sufficient in every respect.
Therefore, the time is ripe for gen.
eral rejoicing.
