I--BALFOUR'S GREAT SPEECH.…
I BALFOUR'S GREAT SPEECH. '$ AN INSPIRING PROGRAMME PLEDGE ON TARIFF REFORM. FOOD COSTS UNALTERED. MUNICIPAL LAND TAXES. SCORNFUL REPLY TO REDMOND. I • 1 The Unionist leader, in a great speech at Nottingham on Thursday night outlined the Unionist policy for the coming conflict. Mr. Balfour addressed a crowded meeting and ,was received with the greatest enthusiasm. His policy is, in brief;- A supreme Navy. Reform of the House of Lord^—a smaller House, with members sitting ex-olhcio, others elected by the present Peers, and at least half elected from outeide. Join? sittings of the two Houses, and appeal to the people lor the final solution of dead- locks between the Houses. Tariff Reform more urgent than evei\ No increase in the price of food. Equitable relief from the new license duties. New land taxes to go to the municipalities and not to the State. Clear exemption of agricultural land from the land taxes. State insurance. Reform of the Poor Law. Housing. Mr. Balfour eaki: Surely never in our his- tory have we met at a, moment more full of great possibilities for the nation, the Empire, and the party, and surely never have wo met to consult over the great political issues of the day with a fuller consciousness that, on the decision to wmch the country may come within a few weeks hang the prosperity, se- curity, and reputation tor political sobuety which hitherto we have enjoyed among ail other nations, according to the verdict of even our severest critics. (Cheers.) "WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRAI- II TORS." We do not believe for one instant that the decision, at which we arrived is one which, if you had all the facts before yon, you would have dissented from. On the con- trary, I am perfectly certain that we should have been regarded as traitors to our cause had we gone further than we did go in the direction cf that peace and goodwill be- tween the parties which I readily admit ouij lour Radical colleagues in the Conference vvMC anxious to further. I believe we all desired an agreement, but if wo had agreed upon the only terms on which agreraeent ,was possible, you would have regarded us as •not supporting, but as betraying your cause. The Conference has unhappily failed, and now rumour will Lave it tnat we are to be •net with a surprise election. Already the Government forces have suffered that kind of misfortune to which all surprise expedi- tions are liable, and one ardent recruit., in the shape of the Home Secretary, has al- ready fiied oft his rifle before he was within range of the enemy. (Laughter.) We are forewarned, and being forewarned we are forearmed, and believe me we look forward Ko the fight, whenever it takes place, with. »ill confidence as to the results. THE UNIONIST LAND POLICY. Proceeding to deal first w ith the land— tn his exposition that the Unionists "have t policy, an Imperial policy, a domestic oolicy, both of them consistent with our ;reat traditions, both of them carrying with iheru infinite advantages to the whole com- munity within these islands, each of them bringing to fruition that leng history of British freedom in which we as a nation I have never shown ourselves incapable of moulding and developing our own tra-di- tional institutions"—Mr- Balfour said t "bo far as our land policy is concerned, we as a party desire to t*ee the number of freehold owners—large as it is now, in spite of what tur enemies say—increased. (Cheers.) We desire to see small occupations where email occupations are economically possible— (hear, hear)—and when there are small oc- cupations, we desire to see them not occupa- (' tions at the will of a county council—(hear, hear)—or of a Government Department— (hear, hear)—but of what is better for the tenant—narneiy, a landlord. We desire to see freehold ownership." (Cheers.) SOCIAL LEGISLATION. "As regards invalidity wo should indeed be false to our traditions if we did not de- T". to see the policy of the Workmen's^ o 1 Insurance Act—associated for ever with the name of Mr. Chamberlain—(cheers)—ex- tended to those other forms of misfortune which make the competent workman no longer able to support his wife and family. But these are not questions of party contro- versy." THE NAVY. "Whether or not the tjrovemmont have now awakened out of their sleep and seriously propose to deal with a situation which is full of peril I know not. If they I are still slumbering, no matter what charges of partisanship are levelled against us, we j will fight for a strong Navy." (Loud! cheers.) THE LAND TAXES. I "As to the Budget, I will only say that in my opinion it is absolutely necessary that I we should do what we can to remedy the j ¡ gross injustice which has been done to thef license-holders — (cheers) — who have been treated as no legitimate interest has ever! been treated before. We think as to the other branch of the Budget that the avowed policy of the Government should be ex- plicitly embodied in legislation, that agri- cultural land, already overburdened, should be wholly free, as they admit it ought to be, from the oppressive action of the new taxes that the serious effects which I am told are being produced on the building trade and on ail that is connected with the builcung traae, should be as far as possible relieved,- but above all, if you are going to raise taxes from urban land. those taxes should go to the city communities in which the land is situated. (Cheers.) They should be used for the locality in which the lands are situated and not be dissipated broadcast over the whole area of the country with which they have no direct connection." (Hear, hear.) TARIFF REFORM. j I say that you are trying the self-govern-! mg and sister States of this Empire too high when you defer indefinitely making any re- sponse to the p, •ence which they so gen- erously and gladly give to the Mother-coun- try. The pledge I give on behalf of the party is that no increase—if an increase can possibly be imagined in the cost of liv- nig due to Tariff Reform—shall fall on the working man's budget, because we have the power—and the power shall be exercised— (cheers)—of reducing those indirect taxes- for example, on tea and sugar—at all events, (.axes on the consumption of the working man, so as fully to compensate any loss, if loss there be, which I do not admit. Observe that those are two quite separate arguments. It is no answer to the first to enter into a long discussion as to whether the 2s. duty on foreign corn will increase the price of bread and how much it will increase it. I do not think it will increase it, but grant it does increase it, no working man or working woman shall suffer thereby. (Loud cheers.) It is possible that some of our opponents may disbelieve the promise it is probable that many of them will misrepresent it. (Hear, hear.) I venture to say it is impos- sible, even for the author of a Radical leaf- let. to misunderstand it. (Laughter and theers.) /r THE HOUSE OF LORDS. 1. A Second Chamber is necessary. 2. It must be a real Chamber. 3. The House of Commons must remain ths dominating Chamber. 4. The reform of the Second Chamber should be grafted upon the present House of Lords. 5. The hereditary right to sit in the Second Chamber must go. 6. The Second Chamber must be grea-tly diminished in numbers. 7. It must include persons who are quali- fied by distinguished public service. 8. A section of it must be elected by the Peers. 9. At least half must come from outside. But you cannot, of course, appeal—either by referendum or by general election—to the people on every small occasion. That is granted. You can only deal with deadlocks I -,nf c by conference, by amicable conference, be- tween the two Houses or by joint, sittings in which the House, of Commons should have added to ii the House of Lords or members of the Second Chamber. If that be granted, I I put this question: How can you settia these joint sittings unless you know how your Second Chamber is to be composed? But observe, if you cannot have the two Houses sitting together entirely—and that may be, I don't say it is, impossible, far from it, but it may ne impossible—the proposi- tion in which the Second Chamber will be represented in the joint sitting must depend en the constitution of the Second Chamber, and cannot be settled until the constitution of the Second Chamber is settled. You are driven to that conclusion by irres- istible logic. If you attempt to make a per- manent arrangement with regard to the two Houses, which leaves the alteration of re- form of the constitution of the Second Cham- ber untouched I tell you you will be post- poning it indefinitely. You must do it as part of a great settlement which shall not merely give that. security to the Constitu- tion which men of all parties ought to de- sire, but which will give to our opponents that which they so passionately claim— namely, the power to carry out great reforms or what they conceive to be great reforms, if they are sent back in a majority, without the fear that if the people of the country are on their side it will be in the power of any Second Chamber to resist their will. I 'THE THREAT OF REVOLUTION. Thg present Government talk as if they j Ll r-I were going to destroy our British Constitu-. tion in obedience to the will of the British democracy. They were going to destroy thej British Constitution in obedience* to the will cf American subscribers to the Irish Party. What does Sir. Redmond fay' Quite openly he says, "1, with my 8200,000 jing- ling in my pocket, I mean to use these diffi- culties and complexifies of English political party life to extract for Ireland everything I want." He meant, in other words, to use! our British party systera to give himself and his friends something which his party wants. He wants to use the whole of our traditional parliamentary machinery, with its merits and its demerits, to squeze out of us, as a conqueror squeezes out cf a conquered coun- try, the terms which, he insists upon. That aione is the real secret cf the revolutionary policy of the men who, had they their will, probably are no more revolutionists than you or 1. A ROUSING PERORATION. On two successive occasions the masses of our countrymen had said, "It is not justice to Ireland you waut, it is injustice to Great Britain." (Loud and prolonged cheers.) Are i we to shatter the Constitution at the bidding j of men who, however sincere their convic- tions, do not. possess British citizenship' (Loud cri.'ts of "No.") Is it to the degree of dey.i-rtGat ion that party government is to bring ru.{ If so, then party government has broken down. (Loud cheers.) We should be no iouger a self-governing country if we acceded to the demands. We should be governed by "log-rolling" men, who care nothing for our Empire or country. (Loud cheers.) See that Great Britain shall man- age her own affairs. If we are to alter the < fabric of our immemorial Constitution, it I should be of our own free will and not at the 1 bidding of those who care nothing for our Constitution and history. So only can we hope to retain the self-respect of the nation and the respect of other nations. Sir. Balfour resumed his seat amidst ring- ing cheers.

> SCHOOLCHILDREN CATCH I COLD. Draughty Class-Rooms Cause Influenza. It is not while they are under their mothers watchful eye that children catch the colds and other ailments that so often lead to serious complaints, but when they are away in school, cr other draughty places. Children specially need to be streng- thened against chilis before they leave for school: they must be given a tonic food whose vitalising effects will 1a.st during the long school hours. long school hours. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Ccco» contains the ingre- dients that science has shown to be the most valuable as strengthening and invigor- ating. In addition to finest of Cocoa—itself well known for its high food-value, Vi-Cocoa contains Kolar-a.' stimulant, a repairer of tissues and a powerful tonic. Kola is valued by scientists because of its wonderful power of enabling persons eating it—or drinking ib as a beverage as in Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa-to undergo prolonged exertion without undue fatigue. Before leaving for school, children shouiJ be given a cup of Dr. libbles' Vi-Cocoa; they enjoy it.. It fortifies them against colds, etc, and it gives them strength that lasts right through the morning. Get a f*~ e.imy packet from your grocer and give Vi-C-ocoa a trial. Do not ask your grocrrfor "cocoa '—ask ior —it makes all the difference. Every grocer sells Vi-Cocoa in 6d. packets' and 2J. and Is. 6d. tins.

STANTON SNUBBED. MINERS' FEDERATION REPLY TO AN APPEAL. MEN OUT CONTRARY TO RULES." The Aberdare VaUey etrffee was re- viewed by the .EXECUTIVE Council of the South Wake Miners' Federation at a meet- ing held at Cardiff on Thumday. In atn-swer to Sir. Stanton's appeal for 17 financial support for the Ikers, reply was made that, as these workmen were c-ut con- trary to the Federation rules, compliance with the request might shortly be followed by an injunction against the executive, with me result that the whole of the Federation funds would be "tied up." Ragret was expressed that the Aberdtea men ha.d rejected the unanimous recom- mendation of the Council to return to work on the offer of the Conciliation Board that their grievances would, on this condition, ba considered, and the Council announced j their readiness to send a. deputation to Aber- daro in order to farther elucidate and ad- voeato the offer.

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK. NAVAL PITS NOT TO BE ABANDONED There was a silver lining to the strike in Mid-Rhondda on Thursday, it being an- nounced that the Cambrian Combine had decided not to immediately abiuidon the Nantgwyn, Piilldy, and By Pits at Peny- graig. On the previous day it was reported that Mr. Frank Llewelyn (the sub-agent 01 the Combine) had announced that the horses would be brought up from the pits, ana that the collieries would be abandoned, but on Thursday he stated that as a result of the increased number of men who had re- turned to work they were in a position to keep the Nantgwyn and Pandy pits properly ventilated and to feed the horses. Ife had consequently, after conferring with his superiors, decided not to raise the horses. With regard to the Ely Pit viemtila'tion was not so necessary as there were no horses in the mine.
-I ABERAVON MEN AND THEIRI…
ABERAVON MEN AND THEIR AGENT. "DOWN TOOLS" DECISION IN HIS ABSENCE. The men working cut Messrs. Cory Bros. Aber C-oliiery, in the Ogmoare VaHcy, held a nu-ss meeting on Thursday, and decided to "down tools" on Monday next.^ Tho miners' agent (Mr. Tom Lucas) was in Gil- tach, where the men are out on strike, and the mass meetings of the Aber men were held in his absence. The stated reason for a strike is the non- unionist trouble coupled with the alleged unsatisfactory arrangements made for the lid-e down the drift to tho working place. About 600 men are affected. A further mass meeting has been called for Sunday next, and possibly Thursday s decision may then be reversed. At tho moment the men seem very deter- mined to demonstrate their sympathy with their fellows in the Rhondda and at Aber- dare. At the maas meeting to be hald on Sunday Mr. Lucas will emphasise the folly of striking illegally.
OFFICIAL'S COAL LOOTED.
OFFICIAL'S COAL LOOTED. MID-RHONDDA STRIKERS STILL VERY ACTIVE. Despite the coid mornings, there is no lack of pickets in Mid-Rhondda, and their methods of flag-signalling from one terraoe to another on the sides of the hills prove tha.t they axe willi organised. In soma cases they have lighted bonfires at street corners to keep themselves warm during their vigil. A number of "captures'' w«re reported dur- ing the day. The reports from Tcaiypandy, Ciydaeh Yale, Penygraig, Treaiaw, and other dis- tricts in the Cambrian Combine areas show tnat no untoward incidents occurred during Vv ednesday night. Despite the cold weatiiitsr pickets were on duty soon after the bugle call at five a.m., and were successful in pre- venting a number cf officials from proceeding to work.b In Court-street, Tonypandy, some windows were saitished. Among the incidents reported is the loot- ing of a coal house belonging to one of t'he managers of the Glamorgan Collieries, who reside^ at Tonypandy. hile he at the colliery the pickets and strikers assembled in la"v numbers in front of his and demonstrated. His coal house was after- wards found to have been cleared of its contents, which were distributed a.mong the necessitous families residing in the street. At Penygraig, while one of the Cambrian Combine firemen, accompanied by police, was returning home from the colliery, the strikers ma relied before him, carrying two wiiite shirts and jeering.

SWANSEA DEVONIANS DINE i I AND HAVE A MERRY TIME AT THE ROYAL. LORD JUSTICE COLERIDGE'S MESSAGE. THE OLD DAYS OF SWANSEA-DEVON f. TRANSIT. W I About two huudred loyal Devonians sat down to the seventeenth annual dinner of Swansea Devonian Society, held at the 1'oyal Hotel on Thursday evening, and a j right merry time was spent discussing home j associations and Devonshire fare, including famous junket and cream rennet, which had i been very kindlv procured bv Messrs. Stone and Son, Exeter. Mr. W. Harding Parra- oombe, president of the society, filled the chair, supported by tho Rev. J. Phillips (Carmarthen-road), Mr. J. Blight (secretary Coinish Society), and Sir. S. Drew (Barn- staple, secretary), whilst amongst the com- pany also present were Messrs. Chas. Retèd (Marwood), S. Daniel (Okehampton), Fred Lane (Exeter), Henry Salter (Plymouth), Newcombe Bios. ('Braunton). J. Howard (11- fracombe), Henry Billings (Crediton), Y\"ar- ing Bros. (Barnstaple), Gili Bros. (Bratton Fleming), Copp and Sons (Bideford), John Jones (Barnstaple), A..Bond (FritbeLstock), W. Coleman (Barnstaple), T. Nicholls (Ilfra- combe), W. J. Slarles (Crediton), C. King (Grxxileigh), H. Cooke (Barnstaple), W. Tay- lor (Fremington), Hancock Bios. (Instow). Long Bros. (Barnstaple), L. Williams (Sloi- land), W. P. Thomas (Barnstaple), W. H. Burridge (Barnstaple), Page Bros.

Daniels (Barnstaple), W. Slarley (Tiverton), John Norman (Brauntou), and others. The Mayor of Swansea. (Coun. D. Matthews) had promised to be present, but a chill prevented his coming. Owing to his recent illness, Dr. H. A. Eatkner (Plymouth), the esteemed life pre- sident. was unable to attend; and Lord Coleridge, who is sitting at Swansea- Assizes, regretted his inability to be present, adding that it was most fortunate for Swan- sea that it had so many Devonians amongst its inhabitants, and Swansea Devonians were fortunate in not being out of sight of De- l vonshire coast, although to Devonians the world-wide proverb, "Out of sight, out of mind," was never applicable. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Sir. Charles Newcombe and I Mr. John Dyer, J.P. (Brauntan), also sent apologies. Fraternal greetings were read from De- vonians in London, Liverpool, Cardiff, Bir- mingham, and Bristol. The President -was very happy in his rem- iniscence in proposing "/jevon, our county." He said that when he emigrated to Swansea newspapers were so rare that only one or two people in his parish in Devon could afford to buy one. letters were left at the pu;blio-house to be fetched, and there was pu;blio-house to be fetched, and there was the stage coa-ch in place of the present rail- way from Barnstaple to Lynton. Religion, too, was then at a very low ebb; for the vicar used to announce on Whit-Sundays the prizes that were to be wrestled for on the Monday. (Laughter.) Music, too, was very primitive. in one church there was a barren organ, and in another he attenced the pitchpipe, but the singing was hearty; whereas now they had got to have a big organ to drown the discord. (Laughter.) At that time also it was difficult °to reach. Swansea, for instead of the present fine ste.a.mers there was only the old Susan trad- ing from Combemartin to Swansea.. Devon was, and always would be, vary dear to him, and he h-oped all p^resaect would retain the same love for the 53"EWty. (Applause.) The toast was enthusiastically drunk, and Sir. Herbert Vvaring (a. Devonian from Neath) responded and referred to tho fact that amongst the Devon celebrities wheyfe names were round the room ho did not ob- serve that of Captain Scott, the Antarctic explorer. He hoped that whilst Devonians retained love for the old county they would not forget the town of theiir adoption. (Hear, hear.) I "The Town and Trade of Sw<msea." was given by Mr. John Jones (traveller), and he said that to a man seeking employment there were no suciii beauty spots as the forest of smoking chimneys they saw a.t Landore and Moms-ton.; so that Swansea could be cou- gia-ouiated not only on the beautiful (lower- land, but also on the industrial localities. In thirty years Swansea had doubled in street mileage. (Applause.) Swansea commerc- ieiily had also gone ahead, and amongst trie people doing the spade-work would be found many Devonians. There were more flasiiy I towns than Swansea, but no town had a more solid respect or had at its command the credit that Swansea had. And why- were they so thorough? Because they had a leaven of the sons of Devon. (Hear, hear.) Sir. Charles Reed (Messrs. Ben Evans and Co.) responded. Mr. W. H. Palniex gave "The President, vice-President. and Officers," and the Presi- dent and Mr. C. H. Newcombe and Sir. W. H. Burridge responded and acknowledged the splendid services of the secretary to the society. Sir. E. Serle (Starcross) proposed "The I Visitors and Proas," and the Rev. J. XlulH^s (-Cannarthen-road) replied. Messrs. J, G. Rofcert?, W. Tag^ar* F-„s Oniey, and T. Weaver contributed to a capi- tal programme. Mr. Harold West, accom- panist, and Sir. J.
