The Lords on the Stump.

The Lords on the Stump. The syndicated Press has been publish- ing long lists of Dukes, Earls, Marquesses and minor fry of the gilded Chamber who propose to sully their nobility by actually appearing on public platforms in support of their order and their order's pockets. That peers should not take part in elec- tions has been long a maxim of the Con- stitution but their lordships having parted with Constitutionalism by inter- fering with the right of the people to tax themselves, seem to be prepared to go all lengths in their revolution. Under the stress of the great changes in 1789, the French nobility had at least the decency to see that they had no case for the system of extortion and oppression of the people which they had set up under the name of law, and at the first signs of the wrath of the justly incensed populace, many of them turned tail and fled the country, leaving their ill-gotten estates to be divided among the half- starved peasantry. Our English nobles have no such scruples. They are pre- pared to bluff it out to the last. Damn the consequences says Lord Milner, and so with curses on their lips and hatred in their hearts they have set out in the vain endeavour to delude the electors into the belief that the hereditary aristocracy must be preserved from taxation at all costs, and that the plain duty of the people is to pay and pay cheerfully by taxes on their bread, and on their meat, on their cupboard and on their store, so that their lordships may sit in ease and lay the countrv waste at. their pleasure. Here, for example, is the Duke of Norfolk, premier Duke and Grand Marshall of England, whatever that may be, possessor of half a dozen titles and a dozen estates in a dozen counties, owner of the south side of the Strand and owner of most of Sheffield. This pathetic old gentleman has been complaining that he is not half as rich as has been made out by the wicked Radicals, and in his futile fury has joined in the silly performance of burning the Budget in effigy. His Grace has done himself well on every occasion under the protection of the lord- made laws. He bitterly opposed the making of a railway from Sheffield to Rotherham The convenience of the public is nothing to these anachronisms; but mark the sequel. The land on the side of the line, owned by his Grace, of course, was let before the railway was made for some P.2 to £3 an acre. Imme- diately he lets the same land for C42, and yet he is not satisfied. The wicked Lloyd George Budget proposes to make him and his like pay a small percentage of this enormous unearned' increment back to the people in reduction of their rates and taxes, and his Grace comes out on a

public platform to howl aloud and to exhibit his bleeding pockets to a sym- pathetic public. Could stupidity further go? This same nobleman was receiving a guinea a year ground rent from a tenant in Sheffield. The 99 years' lease, or squatter's lease'' as they call it in terms of derision in Yorkshire, ran out, and all that the unfortunate tenant was offered was a renewal of the lease for 43 years at a ground rent of £ 39. The tenant had put up a house on the land and was in the hands of his landlord, who could, of course, turn him out neck and crop if he. objected to the terms offered him. And in face of all this, his Grace has the audacity to come forward as an awful example of an ill-used citizen merely because he is to be called upon to pay his fair share of the heavy burdens which the necessities of our national existence demand. The hatred of the working classes has been too often expressed by the spokes- men of the Dukes to allow them now to pose as the saviours of society. We seem to remember his Grace of Rutland de- claring that he personally would like to put a gag into the mouth of every Labour member and keep it there," and was it not the Duke of Beaufort who expressed the wish "to see Winston ^nurcnin ana Lloyd George in the middle of twenty couple of draghounds ? Go to! my lords, go to! Save your pockets if you can; shriek for Dreadnoughts like hysterical degenerates if you like. Wail as loud as seems good to you- when you are asked to pay your share of the cost. Shuffle- out of your liabilities if you can but for goodness' sake don't attempt the silly farce of pretending that you are doing this in the interests of the poor, the working man or the State. YOWl have begun the revolution against the estab- lished order. When it will end, no man knows. It may quite easily turn into a tragedy; but at any rate, try to save some small portion of your dignity, and refrain from making yourselves the jest of the world. » I v Another class of the aristocracy is represented by Lord Rothschild, who seems to have two sets of speeches, one for the delectation of the House of Lords and the other for the tenantry on his huge estates. In the House of Lords, this financial magnate, who, by the way, raises a large part of his princely income by raising funds ia this eovatry for the use of foreign 'tates, complains of the export of capital," the supertax on large incomes, and of course, the land taxes. Down in the Vale of Aylesbury, his lordship deals faithfully with the taxes on tobacco and whisky to show the pool labourer how he has to pay for his luxuries under this wicked Budget. It is useless to waste time arguing with this class of person. This double method of dealing is unfair and misleading. His lordship knows quite well that money,, must be raised, and if he wishes to escape his share, let him say so. The working classes want none of his sympathy. They are paying their taxes without complaint, and it would be much more creditable to him and his class if the same could be said about them. No, we do not think that Lord Rothschild is likely to be a particularly welcome speaker on any platform. Lastly, we have the Drink Lords, who are complaining with vehemence against the taxation of their sacred wares. No one is likely to be taken in by their denunciations. It is quite true that dis- honest brewing and wild speculation have reduced certain brewery companies to a state of bankruptcy. It is also true that the brewers who have stuck to their busi- ness and refrained from the use of new- fangled chemicals, are still reaping profits beyond the dreams of avarice." The landlords may rave, the money lords storm and the beer lords threaten. Forty years of popular education have done their work and left their mark. The appeals of such people are an affront to an edu- cated democracy, and the only possible effect will be to open the eyes of the people to the despicable selfishness of that remnant of uncivilised age", he here- ditary aristocracy.
