Cycle Dealer's Faiiure. Want of capital was the assigned cause of the failure of William Austin Blenkin- sop, cycle dealer, Ystrad, who had a defi- ciency of P.202 14s. 4d. Debtor said that he had invented a coupler for bicycles which had not been profitable, though he spent about £100 in advertising it. The unsettled state of the coal trade, together with the spoiling of the roads by the tramways, had tended to prevent young men buying cycles. The examination was adjourned. The debtor in the above case, who was adjudged bankrupt on 3rd November last, eight creditors having obtained judgment against him. commenced busi- ness as a cycle dealer at 95, William St., Ystrad, in March, 1904, where he traded as the Rhondda Cycle Works" on a capital of zC70, being the balance of a sum of money left him by his mother. For the last three years he had also traded as The Minto Coupling Com- pany," and during the past twelve months had a branch shop at 32, Llewellyn St., Pentre. In 1907, he invented and patented a coupler for joining cycles, oil the letters patent of which, together with the plant and machinery, he. executed an absolute bill of sale in consideration of idet 1 a debt of £100 said to be owing to his brother. In October last, his whole stock- in-trade was sold under a distress warrant for rent.

To save their pockets. They selfishly J desire to tax the people's food in order to relieve their land from paying its just toll. Even this does not nlumb the depth of their meanness. They fraudulently pretend in doing this that they are only seeking to ascertain the wishes of the people. This is cant and humbug and will deceive no one. By their fruits ye shall know them. These lordly parasites shall know them. These lordly parasites who, for the last fifty years, have never thrown out a Tory measure, but obsequiously carried out the orders of obsequiously carried out the orders of Tory Cabinets, who have either destroyed or mutilated almost every Liberal Bill submitted to them and pose as the people's saviours. It is too ludicrous for words to describe. Listen to what Mr. Joseph Chamberlain said of them in the early eighties: — "During the last hundred years the House of Lords has never contributed one iota to popular liberties or popu- "lar freedom, or done anything to advance the common weal; and during that time it has protected every abuse (i and sheltered every privilege. The Chronicles of the House of Lords are one long record of concessions delayed until they have lost their grace, of rights denied until extorted from their fears. For more than half a century we have meekly submitted to be baffled and trampled on by a hand- ful of hereditary legislators, who do not legislate but who only impede legislation." Have the Lords changed since 1884, when this trenchant and unanswerable indict- ment was hurled at them? What is their recent record? In 1900 the Tories secured a, majority on the distinct plea that they should be allowed to finish the war in South Africa, and pledged them- selves not to undertake any social reforms of a controversial nature. Without any mandate the Tories passed a Licensing Bill which transformed an annual license into a freehold, putting millions into the pockets of the brewers. The House of Lords meekly acquiesced. In 1902, also without a mandate, the Tories passed a Bill dealing with Education, which placed the power in the hands of the priest but made the people pay. The Lords more than eagerly agreed to this new and strange principle. Not a word was men- tioned by them of any desire to consult the people. In 1906. the scene changes the Liberal and Labour Parliamentary representatives constituted the largest majority which ever sat in the British House of Commons. They were returned pledged to deal with Licensing and Edu- cation. Bills on the lines of their elec- tion pledges were sent to the House of Lords. The Education Bill was so mutilated that it ceased to be recognised by the authors, and was destroyed; the Licensing Bill was contemptuously re- jected. Now these same Lords, forsooth, express their willingness to pass the Budget, but they must first know the wishes of the people on it. When the Tories are in power, the Lords are willing tools of that party. When the Liberals are in power, the Lords act as an oppo- sition to every proposal for the emanci- pation of the people. Who are these peers who arrogate to themselves the right to thwart the people's will? One in five, at least, sits in the House of Lords by virtue of birth, while the claims of many such are based on the sale of honour of the mothers of their forefathers, or on none too creditable services of many of their ancestors. The rewards for these services have placed them and their children as perpetual parasites on the people's bounty in addi- tion, they now claim the right to crush the aspirations of the very people who have tolerated them too long. Since the time of Pym, in 1640, the Commons have successfully maintained their right to control the public purse, and have as successfully resisted any en- croachment on their prerogative. This is a great heritage, handed down to us bv our forefathers. It is a privilege that we. in the twentieth century, should value most highly, to be called upon to defend the people's rights. We dare not hesitate. Our children and our children's children, in the years that are to come, would read with shame the history of a base betrayal, if we do not speedily avenge the insult of these arrogant usurpers of our rights and privileges. We have no fear of the result so far as the A-otes which will be cast against the Lords in the ballot boxes at the next election. Our only fear is that their value may be destroyed by being divided. We believe, at the. present time, no less than seventy constituencies are being wooed by both a Liberal and a Labour candidate. If this state of affairs con- tinues to the end? we may see in each of these constituencies, as in Bermondsey, a. majority of the votes cast against the Lords and in favour of Free Trade, while an enemy of the people and a food taxer is sent to St. Stephens to misrepresent the people. It is not in this manner that our forefathers won the freedom we pos- sess. In face of a common foe our forces must be united. There must be a give- and-take policy. Liberals must vote for Labour and Labour for Liberals. To fail in the fight on account of factions would be lamentable. It would mean a six years' rule of Toryism. What would either Labour or Liberalism gain by such a suicidal policy. Destroy the power of the Lords and you prepare the way of progress both for Liberalism and for Labour. United we stand. Bear and forbear.
