WHAT HAVE THE TORIES DOXE…
WHAT HAVE THE TORIES DOXE FOR THE PEOPLE ? [BY ARTHUR J. WILLIAMS, M.P.] WHAT HAS LORD SALISBURY DOXE? COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. In the year 1885, a change was made which was greatly for the advantage of the people. A very large number of persons are employed in managing and carrying on the business of a great country like ours—in collecting the taxes, in keeping the accounts, in the post and telegraph offices, in the Custom House. It is our business. and it concerns us all that it should be properly done—that the best men should be chosen to do it And until 1885 the appointment to all these posts was by favour. It was in the hands of a few persons who did not belong to the people. They could appoint any one they pleased. The Liberals. speaking in the name of the people, denounced this as a great abuse. They said the places should be given to those who proved to be best fitted for them. This can only be done by an examination which should be open to all. Such a change would of course put an end to a good bit of patron- age. Open competition for the civil service was strongly opposed by the Tories. Lord Salisbury opposed it to the bitter end. It was." he said. in his opinion nothing more nor less from beginning to end than a schoolmaster's scheme." We have had it now for thirty-five years, and although ex- aminations are cf course not complete tests, it has been an enormous improvement on the old system. It has given a fair and equal chance to every young man. whether he is the son of a nobleman or the son of a mechanic, and the people have now their fair share in the national business. CHURCH RATES. Up to 1860 every Dissenter was bound by law to pay Church Rates for keeping in repair a church which he never went to, whilst he had to pay for his own chapel and towards keeping his own minister. Bill", were brought in time after time to get rid of this unfair law. At last the Liberal party succeeded in passing a Bill which did away with the law, but Lord Salisbury spoke with all his usual bitterness against it. It would," he said. lead to great social demoralization." Church rates were not the only objects of plunder." "As the time had come for fighting everything," he said, fight every inch. As they were now fight- ing for the existence or non-existence of the Church, he should vote for every motion whL-h -would put off the evil day of the supremacy of Dissent." ELECTORAL REFORM. In 1832 the Liberal party, after a terrible struggle, passed a Reform Act which gave the people some voice in the choice of those whose who manage their business in the House of Commons. It was far short of what it should have been. It left the great body of the working men and labour- ers out altogether, because only those who were rated at CIO a year rent in boroughs and £ 50 a year in the counties got the vote. It was not long before the Liberals began to claim that the great body of the people should have their rights. /The Tory party, as in 1832, bitterly opposed this. In 1830 Lord John Russell brought in a Bill which only went a very little way. It only gave votes to those who occupied houses in boroughs which were rated at £ 3 a year, and to those who occupied land and houses in the counties which were rated at JS10 a year. As the occupier is rated upon a good bit less than the rent actually paid, this really meant that only those would get a vote who paid about £ 8 a year in the towns and £ 12 or £ 14 a year in the counties. John Bright turned up his nose at it: so did all the Radicals, because it left all the working classes out in the cold. But what did Lord Salisbury say to this trumpery Bill ? Here are his very words If this Bill passed they would have the power of representation taken from the w-tll-to-do class, and placed in the hands of the poor. The power of taxing the rich would be possessed by the poor-by those who had not to bear the burden." Not to hear tin- burden! Who pay the millions of Customs' duties Who pay the millions of money for tobacco duty ? Who pay the millions of Excise! Who pay the millions paid for beer ? Is it the few thousands of noble- men and gentry, who own most of the land ? No it is the millions of workingmen, (to whom two- pence or threepence a day is as much as £ 10 or 4. 20 day to a great nobleman.ilike Lord Salisbury,) who pay by far the largest share of these great burdens. PAPER DUTY. Up to 1880 there were heavy taxes on paper. They were foolish and mischievous taxes, which made it impossible to have cheap newspapers, or that good books should be cheaply printed. Of course, this did not much matter to rich people, or even to those who were well off. But it was terribly hard upon the poor. The Liberals tried over and over again to get rid of these taxes, and at last suc- ceeded. But Lord Salisbury not only opposed them he made fun in his sneering way of choap books and cheap newspapers." Could it be maintained," he asked, that a person of any education could learn anything worth knowing from a penny paper." This strange speech was made in 1860. It.only showsihow great a change was caused by the doing away with these taxes. The paper of the Tory iparty is a penny paper, and a very good paper the Standard is. THE REFORM BILL, OF 1857. In 1866 a Tory Government came in under Mr. Disraeli, and Lord Salisbury was one of his ministers.* When the Radie-als had claimed the vote for the people the Tories replied they didn't want it. But the people held big meetings which showed that they did want it, and were determined to have it. One 'of these meetings was held in Hyde Park. The Tory Home Secretaryf tried to prevent it. But the people marched up and swept away the railings of the Park and held their meet- ing. This settled the business. Mr. Disraeli had a difficult task. In Feb., 1836, he brought in some Milk and water resolutions which meant nothing. "No shams" said the Radicals. Bring in your Bill." Disraeli might have been one of the greatest English Statesmen if he had acted up to his principles. He began life as a Radical. He knew very well that the people must soon get their rights. He knew they ought to get their' rights. But he soon saw that his best chance of success was by joining the Conservatives so he joined them. They had lor years treated him very badly. But he put up with it till they could not do without him. Xow his time was come. He would make a high bid for popularity. If the people must have the vote, why should not they get it from him instead of getting it from the Radicals ? So he said he would educate his party." Many of the more honest Tories said he had sold them. All the same most of the sullenly gave in when he said thai every householder in the borough must have a vote. It is fair to Lord Salisbury to say that he would not give in. He left the Government, and, no doubt this made him very dear to the Tory party. He acted up to his principles. He did not think the Common people should have a vote. But if the rest of the Tories had acted up to their principles they would have done the same. "'He was Secretary for India, and was now Lord Crane-borne—his helder brother having died. tMr. Walpole.

OPEN LETTERS TO WELSHI LEADERS…
OPEN LETTERS TO WELSH LEADERS OF OPINION. Xo. XVI. D. LLOYD GEORGE, M.P. Mv DEAU GEORGE,—We have all our defects. The most perfect sample amongst us has got some twister blemish—something we would sdi.'ne more abundantly without. Even I have been accused of faults cf omission and commission, and so you will not be surprised to hear that even in your own immaculate self there are motes that can he seen through my own beam. I admit, though, that taken as a whole you are not a bad specimen of a, North Walian—if indeed, I can, with perfect accuracy call you a Welshman at all. Mr. Glad- stone says that he is an Englishman by birth and a Scotchman by descent, and he is popularly sup posed to be more English than Scotch, except when he disports himself in the heart of Midlo- thian. Taking Mr. Gladstone as our example—as you know every true Welshman must -you, my poor George, are a Saxon; for was not your first breath inhaled in the smoke-grimed street of a Saxon city Our mutual friend, the witty and accomplished Parleyvous Professor at the South Wales Univer- sity College, tells me that when, years ago. he went to Manchester to instruct the rising generation in the genders of his natural tongue, you had just left that thriving capital of calico to set up in Cambria as a hona fid -— don't be afraid, we all know yon are a teetotaler-hnna Jidr Welshman, born and bred. Row strange arc the problems and the devious ways of this perverse world To see you on a Cymric hustings in full fervour, with your frock coat and pulpit voice, that would have done honour to John Elias or Davies Cwmaman. it is hard to realise that to a Saxon town belongs the honour of your birth. Your coat and well- trimmed curls belong to a country where conven- tional! tie. are more in vogue than in Wales, but your silvery voice could only belong to one whose ancestors breathed the pure air of the Cambrian hills. So diligently do you eschew any reference to your alien birth that it would have been for- gotten but for the vivid recollection of Professor Barbier. And. after all. what is there to be ashamed of in the fact ? We love you none the less because you were the creature of a distressing destiny you did not direct, and on which no Welsh conference deliberated. Cochfarf. as you know. is one of the most im- portant persons in Glamorgan, and he contemplates sitting by you some day in St. Stephens as the representative of the Flat Holms, when things are regulated down here as they ought to be. But Cochfarf is. in addition to his other possessions and virtues, no mean authority on Welsh, as she is spoke, and wrote, and thought as he is indeed on everything else, whether it be a ham-shank or a Silurean. I can tell you he looks as glum as a polar bear in a north wind when I tell him. with ecclesiastical emphasis, that you are only half a Welshman, and that your name is as alien as Samuel, or West or Theodore Dodd. But Cochfarf turns to your vernacular speech which he contends is as pure and undefiled as the silvery stream of the Ogmore a century or two ago. He calls it classic, attic, and something else in the Pencoed Welsh which I do not understand. And as for your birth, he always ends our argument by asking me this poser If a cow were born in a stable would it be a horse f" Now my knowledge of natural history has always been very limited, and none of my friends whom I have asked seem to be able to answer thisquestion. They only smile and look as if they knew. However. I never know how to answer the question, and Cochfarf always falls back on that when he is driven into a corner. You. like your colleagues, are trying your level best to make things bum. Sir Hussey once tried to take an independent path, but he fell into a. quagmire. In his case, however, the parable of the prodigal son was reversed; for it was the repent- ant son that killed the fatted calf for the appeased father, and plain Mr. Vivian became Sir Hussey Vivian, Baronet, and si devoted follower of Mr. Gladstone. And there he will end. Old Presby- terion Smith, as he is called in the House's smok- ing room, has tried his best, but, like the fishermen of Galilee, though he has often cast his net. the fish seem to avoid the snare. I can't help speaking of Dillwyn with respact as an old tried veteran but he was always a fighting man who couldn't lead, and his highest reward will lie the satisfaction of having stood in front of the battery along with better men. Sam Evans is still an unsolved problem. He has ability which will tell unless it is spoilt by vanity and thought- lessness. He makes mistakes, as when lie signed Cecil Beresford's testimonial, and it is uncertain whether his brilliant hits will in the end out weigh his grave errors of judgment. Bowen Row- lands wants to be a. judge, and the Lord Chief- Justice thinks he'll beone. A witness. whom Rowen Rowlands was cross-examining, called him my Lord," when Lord Coleridge interposed Tand'.amid the modest blushes of the member for Cardigan, said Premature, my dear sir, premature." Tom Ellis's health is very uncertain, and one is always afraid that he will truckle too much to the official English Liberals. I was, therefore, glad to see that he had the courage to brave the frowns of such men and the thundering dictation of the English journals, which only mention Wales to revile it. and attend Dilke's meeting at Festiniog. Then, there is the mighty man of valour from the Rhondda. the faddist Rathbone. the Philistine-Poet Edward Reed; the kindly promoter of gigantic Bills, Alfred Thomas the land law reformer and the organiser, Arthur Williams the gentlemanly Lloyd Morgan the deliberate Abel Thomas; the Esau Pritchard Morgan and the Methodist lawyer. Bryn Roberts, who is said to be one of the best billiard-players in the House. All these men are good men some of them are exceedingly clever men a few of them will belong to Liberal Ministries but we all know—or can give a shrewd guess—where they will all end. But about you there are great possibilities—possibilities that may end in much or nothing. Yon are an enthusiast and a dreamer. YOllliye in a world of fantasy. Nor do I think that an obstacle in the way of a young man. All great men have been dreamers. They are conscious of a greater world than their immediate surroundings. Cromwell dreamed of a free England, loving God. and obeying the law of a free world, where all would regulate their conduct according to the Word, and where the saints would reign. He didn't attain his object. But in his endeavour he succeeded in breaking the despotism of kings, and in laying- the foundations of democratic rule in England. Had he dreamed less he would not have achieved so much. Alexander wished to. conquer the world and he succeeded in conquering the world's greatest empire. Or if I may descend to a phraseology that Lloyd Morgan can understand, it is easier to catch a trout with a salmon rod than a salmon with a trout rod. All this means—for I cannot treat such metaphysical problems as well as our friend Puleston Jones— that the very fact that you are a dreamer of dreams invests you with immense possibilities of future greatness. But you should be careful how you use your imagina.tive powers. Cromwell was not content to dream of a godly country in his brewery nor did Alexander dream of a conquered world sitting in ignoble ease in his father's halls at Maeedon. Though dreamers at heart, in real life they were intensely practical. So must you be. You must conquer that irritability of yours, that has lost you many a case before the beaks." Nor must you, as you have done. rush, like the Athenians of old. to every new idea and opinion. I am told that Bryn Roberts once talked to you of Socialism in his cautious, moderate, common- ). sense way, and that you knew nothing of it at tho time. Bryn is now terrified at the Frankenstein he has generated, and the result of his casual talk is that you are one of Cunningham Graham's most trusted henchmen. You ought to think out your views more care- fully. Don't take up a new view simply because it new. That sort of thing is only pardonable in an undergraduate of Oxford. I have hoard you talk the most arrant nonsense in the National Liberal Club about Toltstoi and his peculiar views. Then I am told you are inclined to make a hero of General Bonlanger, peroaps the most despicable adventurer of modern times, who either out of cowardice or weakness, or love of filthy lucre, ran away when he ought, like Balmaceda, to have stood his ground. An adventurer cannot be a hero unless he be successful; and to be success- ful he must both be daring and unscrupulous. To admire ;> fallen adventurer betokens a strange mind. Get up your political philosophy. A good six months' hard grinding at Bluntchli and Maine and Aristotle and Hobbs and Locke and Burke, with Tom Ellis or Owen Edwards as a coach, would do you a world of good. Your im- pulses are right, but you have no system. Thus you are in favour of Home Rule, but opposed to Imperial Federation. Let me again impress on you the necessity of getting rid of your loose thinking and violent talking. You have great powers both of thinking and talking, but they require training and cultivation. Your two speeches last weok at Rhyl and Ruthin on Dises- tablishment are excellent examples of your strength and weaknfess. Your Rhyl speech was able, and your Ruthin speech was clever but they are not what Welshmen expect from a responsible politician In Ruthin you said that the only thing the established Church had done for Wales was to trans- late the Bible into Y\ elsh. With this exception," you mid" Wh<tt can the Archbishop put before them Drunken parsons rolling on Eis- teddfod platforms." The sneer at these "drunken parsons" is as ungenerous as that of Carlyle at Charles Lamb, "reeking with gin and water." I will have cut of account the work or Vicar Pritchard and Archdeacon Prys of J nes Llan- gan and Jones Llandowror ci' Howel Harris and Rowlands Llangeitho. who to ihe end said they were member* of the tmircii. is it generous, oven it it were true, to allude to Goronwy Owen and Ieuan Brydydd Hir and the Black Bard of Ceredigion and Gwalker Mechain and Ab Ithel and Ieuan Glan Geirionydd simply as "c1runkn parsons rolling on Eisteddfod platforms They were something more they kept burning in the dark ages of Welsh history the torch of"Cymric liter- ature and poetry, which many of the stern revival- ists would have extinguished." They helped to keep alive the lighter, airier spirit of the Ce'.t, which has caused Welsh literature in the past to leaven the literature of Europe, and which will vet show to the world, when a Ceiriog will be b<jm"that can sing in English, that the glory of the divine "Awcn" has not departed from the hills of Wales, and that the Celtic genius and fantasy and imagi- nation still exist among her peasants. Such remarks as you made use of at Rhyl can but provoke.from thinking men the criticism that the llmlrl ap- plied to your speech. Your speech, ic said showed much ability, but also a •' regrettable wr.nt of good taste and moderation. The Disestablishment campaign has no need of wild bitter utterances." Your speech at Rhyl was clever, and one can pardon its bitterness and its 1.'1'1I1i!: ¡>film lid hum itu-m if what the J'iatvr says is true that there were some •• Eglwyswyr haner medchyon" at the meeting. All the same your reply to that poor parson, good as it was from a debating point of view and excellent in its promise that vou will develope into a Parliamentary hand «.f no mean power, was altogether too personal in its nature. Your reference to Vavasor Powell if you are correctly reported in the Jianrr—is exceeding strange. I never knew till I read your speech that he had been burnt in Fleet-street. London. I thought the Act Jfrrctiro ('ov>li:retbdo had not been in force in England since the days of Queen Mary, and* thai it was only in Scotland that men were executed in the seventeenth century for their religious opinions. There is re cm for inx' provement too in the manner as well as in the matter of your speech. I admit that there is a lot of truth in what a writer said in the St or after hearing you speak at the Disestablishment Con- ference at Pontypridd. "George." said B5.C.. has the rapier thrust, the irony, the dry huffiO«r of the oratorical expert." But you are not alwf>y? as you were at Pontypridd. I have seen yott jumping on the platform, kicking your heele, flourishing your fists, and wriggling and twisting about like a man in the hydrophobia. On sucb occasions you remind me of a story a canny Scotchman once told me. Thomas Camphell, the author of il Pleasures of Hope." and better known as the author of the Mariners of England, was a candidate for the Lord Rectorship ° Glasgow University, and his opponent on the Tory side was no less a person than Sir Walter Scott. Campbell, who was even smaller in persOf\ than the member for the Carnarvon Boroughs- defeated the Wizard of the North, and was de- livering an impassioned harrangue from the bah cony of a house in a narrow street to a crowd 01 enthusiastic admirers immediately after the p°y when a fishwife happened to be passing by, aU^' being in complete ignorance of th.' IMPORTANT event that excited the populace, she looked up at the gesticulating stripling, and exclaimed, De»r me. what's wrang with the bit laddie Will- ht? mither no let him in However, tantrums are excusable in a youngster and a Welshman for Ev'n ministers, Ley hae been been kenned In holy rapture, A rousing whid, at times to vend, And nail it'wi Scripture. Try and avoid them all the same.
