BUDGET BULL'S-EYES.
BUDGET BULL'S-EYES. I (FROM THE BUDGET LEAGUE.) The House of Lords have done the deed. Like Macbeth, they have hesitated over it long, but now at last it is done, and the English people enter into a period of changed relationship towards their aris- tocracy. For the Lords have now raised a ques- tion which will have to be settled in one way or another, and which cannot be left in its present position. It is not possible in a State, any more than in a household, for more than one authority to manage the purse. It is common ground in all human affairs that the purse cannot be in two hands at once, and that the hand that holds the purse is the hand that also rules. Now the claim put in by the House of Lords is that it should take the purse from the House of Commons. If that claim be accepted, then the House of Commons prac- tically ceases to exist in any important sense. The House of Lords takes its place. » We do not propose to argue this matter over again on constitutional grounds. There the Liberal Party has achieved a complete victory. They have shown by chapter and verse, over and over again, that this interference of tM House of Lords is an unprecedented act. That position is now practically accepted by the Tory Party. They openly boast that it is unprecedented. The new claim put forward now is that an unprecedented act was necessary, and that the House of Commons has lost its right to govern the nation. That is the great ques- tion on which they propose that a new House of Commons should be elected. In other words, they ask a House of Commons to come into being in order to commit suicide. But put aside all constitutional authori- I ties and look at the matter from the sim- plest point of view. What would happen if the House of Lords won in this fight? The whole position of politics would be changed. For the lamt fifty years no vote of the House of Lords has ever upset a British Ministry. But henceforward no British Government could rule for more tham a year without possessing. a majority in the House of Lords. But that would be only the first result. The second result would be that no Budget could be passed which was not pleasing to the House of Lords. No Government, in- deed, would ever bring. a Budget in unless they were certain that the House of Lords would pass it. The House of Lords would practically dictate the Budget. We need not dwell on the Parliamentary results of that change. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, for instance, would pro- bably have to sit in the House of Lords. The Budget speefck VRuM have to be de- livered in the Lords as well as in the Com- i mons. The Estimates must be considered by, the Lords as well as the Commons. That is quite clear, because any other arrange- I mcnt would lead to intolerable uncertainty and confusion during the financial year. I But all that is of small importance compared with the greater matters. The real point to keep your eye on is what ¡ would be the social and political results ? In the first place, as Mr. Birrell put it the other day, it would mean annual Par- i liaments for Liberals and septennial Par- < Laments for Conwsrva&ves. That is one small pôlitical result. But, in the second place, it would mean that all the vested interests represented in the Lords would be practically free from I new taxatipn from that time forward. What are those vested interests ? I Well, the most important is land. The Derby Return, published in 1875, showed that 525 Peers held 15,300,000 acres of cul- tivated land in the United Kingdom. This was exclusive of their possessions in forests and woods, in roads and rivers, or in Lon- don. But it showed that those 525 Peers: then held one-third of the, cultivated land j of the United Kingdom. | But if we add 5,000,000 acres for their other possessions—forests and woods, roads and rivers, and the London area—:then the landed possessions of those 525 Peers come up to 20,000,000 acres. And the average of each Peer's landed estate works out at 38,000 acres. You have only to consider those facts, and to realise that no new tax will be placed on land if once the Lords get control of our finances. All these unearned mere- ments will still go rolling into their j pockets, and local authorities will still have to pay the high prices which they pay at present for'their land. Nothing will be changed. Take one fact. We have been told on good authority, by one who knows them, mat the Dukes of Great Britain are poor j but honest. The phrase throws a new light on what one means by honest poverty. lor the.Derby Return shows that the j Dukes possessed in 1875 no less than i 4,000,000 acres, with a rent roll of r_2,350,000. That is the sort of honest poverty which a good many people would L: willing to share. Reckoning the in- crease, in these estates since 1875, it works 1,1 at something not much less than *-00,000 a year each; though it must be r nu mbered that, while several of these Dukes are very rich, others of them scarcely get their fair share. j A f v J lie only other class that is largely r» [u-(!fse;rtv ;n ths House of Lords is the class i-t the brevvers. Tiiey have succeeded dur- L: iifty rs in obtaining several o iVc-rjc-s, ^thus forging an interesting ..ik betv.'ten t fts Boor,go and the Peerage, u mny be sure, then, dut, while the land- ionis would keep the people strenuously off the land, they would console them for thrusting them into the slums by encourag- ing mciii to drink the greatest possible amount of liquor. There would certainly be no more taxes on drink. The people of (Jre. Britain, in the eyes of these great landlords, are to become a landless but in- toxicaieu people, consoled for being driven off the earth by perpetual immersions in alcol1, That isa pretty vision of revived feudalism. Such is the prospect before us if the Lords win. What is the alternative? Why, it is to pass a Budget which presents to the people of this country the best chance of development given to them for a hundred years. The Budget is just, humane, patriotic, and efficient. It is at once en- terprising aad sober, thrifty and national. It provides the only proper basis for a seli- »*es;;ecting democracy. Which will you have—a selfish aris- tocracy, with its hand over the whole land of England, or a self-respecting democracy, owning what it earns, and earning what it owns ? That is the choice before the people of this country during the next two months.
HOME HINTS. .
HOME HINTS. Whon gilt frames, looking-glasses, or the gilt mouldings of rooms have specks of dirt on them, they can be cleaned with the white of an egg gently rubbed on with a camel-hair brush. In a cue of severe burns, do not forget that the most important thing is to counteract shock by giving hot drinks, such as coffee, hot milk, or weak brandy and water. Put the patient to bed with hot bottles until the doctor comes. Should a round hole be torn in a cloth coat, or trousers, or dress, the following is an excellent way of mending it. The frayed por- tion round the tear should be carefully smoothed, and a piece of the material, mois- tened with very thin gum, placed under the hole. A heavy weight should tben be placed upon it until dry, when it is only possible to I And the hole by careful searching. A good and economical way of softening hard water for laundry purposes is to always keep on hand a tub half filled with wood ashes, but filled to the brim with water. A gallon of water drawn from this tub will IOften a copperful of the hardest water, and weften it into the bargain in such q, way as to improve instead of injure, as is the case with many softeners, the texture of the clothes. To make pillow-slips last twice as long as oual, directly they begin to wear thin rip open the bottom and sew up again, so that what was originally back ana front is now two sides, ana vice versa. If circular pillow cotton has been used there will be no seam down the middle, thus you will double the wear and avoid unsightly patches.
FINGER NAILS AND HEALTH.
FINGER NAILS AND HEALTH. The finger nails are an excellent index of the general state of health. If they are brittle, it shows that the general health is below par, and that a course of tonics and plenty of fresh air are needed. White spots, commonly known as "gifts," show an anaemic condition which requires the addi- tion of iron to the blood in the form of iron pills, eggs, fresh meat lightly cooked and vegetables, particularly carrots. Ridged fiager nails point to a gouty tendency, which can only be kept in abeyance by a light, plain diet, and plenty of exercise. HOMB LIFE. There is no subject of greater importance than that of home and home life. Almost everything of interest to. the individual, to the nation, and to the world is bound up in home life. If the home life of a nation is vicious, or not what it should be, the nation can never rise to an exalted position. Home should be a place where the father, mother, and children; can enjoy themselves better than any other place on earth: The attrac- tive feature of most homes is that there is no formality, no stiffness, to interfere with com- fort. I A. BAD PLAN. It is a bad plan to fasten up the end of < baby's flannel petticoat with safety pins, with the idea of keeping the infant's feet warm. Exercise is impossible when the limbs are thus cramped, and the spontaneous exer- cise of a young child means not only growth of the boay, but development of the brain. Another evil is that there is no circulation of air, and the warm, damp air acts like a poultice, makingahe skin tender and suscep- tible to cold. Warm woollen boots, which reach well up the legs, answer the same pur- pose as far as warmth is concerned.
