Anti-Budget Crusade.
Anti-Budget Crusade. AGITATORS HECKLED AT LLANDUDNO. The garden in front of the North-Western Hotel was,on Friday evening the scene of some amusing incidents during the course of a meet- 'ing held by two, opponents of the Budget, one of whom was Mr J. Warren, of Newcastle, who stated that he had been for over thirty years engaged in electioneering work. The other speaker was Mr T. Morris, who also hailed from the northern town. Mr Warren is one of the lecturers of the National Union of Con- servative Association, London The first speaker was Mr Morris, who cle- claired the Budget unjust and revolutionary; that it was Socialistic in its tendencies, and would, surely drive capital out of the country. He readily admitted that capital could not do without labour, but it was equally true that labour could not do without capital. Capital, he said, was exceedingly sensitive, and it be- hoved them to think seriously before they sanc- tioned' ,any kind of legislative proposals that would in any way tend to drive capital away to foreign countries. 'The speaker, who was severely heckled and requested to substantiate his statements, diid not make any attempt to replj. It was, however, when Mr Warren com- menced his oration, that the proceedings got in- teresting. IHie opened with the bold declara- tion that he did not mind intelligent interrup- tions, and that at the close of the meeting he would answer all questions, and would be pre- pared to meet on that platform or elsewhere, at any time, any gentleman who would ven- ture to dilscusls with him the merits or de- merits of the budget. Three-and-a-half years ago the Liberals were returned to power- ("Yes, thaink God, and with a large. majority,") —but think of the tremendous: increase in the national expenditure that had. taken place dur- ing that year. Why?-("What about old-age pensions. Whait about Dreadnoughts, for which your party have clamoured? Pay for them!" and applause.) Mr Austen Chamber- lain had left in the Exchequer some millions of money, but they had all been swallowed up, and more to follow by the extravagance of this retrogade Government. At this paint the speaker was persistently questioned by the Rev. D. Gwynfryn Jones, Wesleyan minister, of Llandudno., and Mr E. J. Roberts, of Denbigh, as to the increase in the Nation il Debt during the five last years of the Tory "regime"; also as to the reduction of the National Debt by the Liberals, and the abolition of the tea duty and the partial abolition of the sugar duty. Mir Gwvnfryn Jones also pressed Mr Warren to tell them if the state of the Exchequer, as he had asserted, was "so rosy .and flush" with the Free-trade Budget of Mr Austen Chamberlain, why all this howling about Tariff "Reform"? Why those prophecies, an echo of which they heard there that night, that the Empire cannot be financed without Projection ? Mr Warren did not reply, but retorted that he. "would like to clout the, ears of that gentle- man with a straw hat,refeTT-ing to Mr Gwyn- fryn Jones." Thereupon Mr Jones replied that he did not fight wiith carnal weapons, but that he would like an. opportunity to clout the intelligence of the speaker, .and that it was better to wear a straw hat than carry a straw head.-(Applause and roars of laughter). Proceeding, Mr Warner said he thought that .oill61 of the most pernicious points of the Bud- get was the fact that the Sinking Fund had been touchedl; it was the one thing that was between the eoulntry and desperation, and that was the first timei that it had ever been touch- ed.—(Shouts of "No, no.") Here Mr E. J. Robetrts, of Denbigh, com- pelled Mr Warren to. withdraw, and to admit that such a course had 'been adopted under a Cons e rv ative Administr ation. At this stage, Xr Warren lost his temper and threatened to call in the police as empowered to do so by Lord Hugh Cecil's bill, but eventually .after walking about the platform he resumed in the same strain, referring to the Patent Acts and other measures, but was fre- quently interruptjd by calls for "Three cheers 4 for Mr Lloyd/ George," .which were heartily given. When Mr Warren had finished, the Rev. D. Gwynfryn Jones plied him with questions. At the close of Mr Warren's speech the Rev. Gwynfryn Jones asked him a score or so of questions. How was the Patent Act protec tive ? In what particular was the reversion duty unjust? What did the Budget propose to do in regard to the mining royalties ? etc. But there, was no reply. Mr Jones then proposed a vote of confidence in the Government, pledging the meeting to do all in its power to pass tihe Finance Bill into law. Mr Rdberts, Denbigh, seconded, and the motion was carried by an overwhelming majority. Mr Jones then challenged Mr Warren to a public debate. "You shall," he said, "name your own time and you:- own place. Wo 11 you meet me next Tuesday evening?" Mr Warren repliedl, "I'll take you now." Whereupon Mr Jones, amid chieirs, walked to the platform. But no sooner had, he confronted Mr Warren, than the latter told him to go down. Mr Jones replied, "I am. here at your invitation to di,s cuss the Budget." "Go, down," said Mr War- rern. "I'm here to duscass the Budget," re- toirted Mr Jones. "Go down, or I'll put the officer upon you," came the reply. Mr G. Jones then left the platform, and the meeting dispensed. Subsequently another meeting in sup- port of the Budget was held in the Commis- sioners' Field, and .although it was ten o'clock hundreds of people attended. Speeches were delivered by Dr. S. James and Mr G. Jones. A resolution in sup.poirt of the Finance Bill was again passed unanimously. The same speakers have held, meetings every night this week eta. the Council Field, and have nightly beenbubjected to .considerable heck- ling. On Thursday night Mr Tennyson Smith tackled him on the land clause's of the budget, and formulated a, resolution of confidence in the Government, which was proposed by Mr Henry Woodall, and carried almost unani- mously.
MR. PAYNE. AND HIS ORCHESTRA.
MR. PAYNE. AND HIS ORCHESTRA. To the Editor. Dear Sir,-I should like to write a few words in appreciation of the efforts of Mr A. W. Payne and his orchestra. Both on the pier in the mornings and at the more sedate concerts in the Pavilion one is always sure of having 9 1 i something really worth listening to. The way Mr Payne intersperses the grave with the gay and the classic with the light shews not only what a large repertoire he must be possessed of, but also his greiait discrimination in select- items for his programmes. Another pleasing feature lis that whatever request is made re- garding the performance of special pieces, it is sure to be complied with. I feel that the visitors and residents alike owe a great debt of gratiudei to Mr Payne and his orchestra for theilrefforts, for neither the lovers of classics nor light music have the slightest room for complaint regarding the programmes. As one who enjoys the concerts thoroughly I sub- scribe myself. Yours truly, RICHARD MOSS. Hill View Villa, Wigan August 9th, 1909.
THE TREATMENT OF DONKEYS.
THE TREATMENT OF DONKEYS. To the Editor. Sir,—I should like to ask through the medium, of your paper if anything can be clone to stop the shocking 4cruelty to the beach don- keys here in the town; a moire miserable lot of litle ai>imals it would be hard to find, and the terrible way they are constantly beaten, is re- volting to any human person. I spoke to a boy this week, who. was brutally beating a poor creature who looked scarcely strong enough to bear its own feeble weight, without any added burden.
