[ General Election, 1910. • TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PARLIAMENTARY BOROUGH OF MERTHYR TYDFIL.. GENTLE ICES,—• Twenty-one years ago you did me the henour of returning me as one of your members to the Hoiue of Comrnons. For twelve years I eat at Westminster in the Liberal and Labour in- terest, during which time I not only voted for all the Progressive measures put forward by the Liberal Party, but I claim that the Labour members invariably found in me a staunch sup- porter of their views. Henoe I strongly approve of the principles of the Budget, of Labour Exchanges, of Insuranoo against Unemployment, and the increase of Em- ployment. While represntinsr you, I had the privilege of proposing the IHsestablishinant of tho English Church in Wales, and elicited from our then great leader, Mr. Gladstone, approval and support of the measure, which was accep- ted by the Houso of Commons. The Eight Hours Bill found in me a strong advocate, both by voice and vote, and all measures calculated to benefit the masses were invariably advocated by me. It is my desire to remedy a mistake which crept into the pre- sent Act and eliminate the 60 Hours Clause. When representing you in the House of Com- mons, I moved for the lisb.ment of a Governmental Department £ cr Mines. I am in favour of the creation çf a Minister for Mines to deal with the vast Mining of the United Kingdom. This is a Labour %n-i Copwv*?^.v?I constitu- ency. I began life ft «oc.rk« I hive since been engaged in Mtna»«r •wwi Qammezrrs, MKJ my world-wide experjejv* "If G ousir-SVR IS ? equalled but by few .t my comp?>ti:-?•. I am in favour ei 2-iwihood Suffrage and the issue of a Voter's IVgfct to every MaJo over i twenty-one years ng». j I consider that. General Election, all Paz. liamentary Elections m tOO country should be held on the same day.. J I am in favour of extended Educational prsvi- leges, so that the rising intelligence of yoaih may bo stimulated and encouraged. I ..ID in favour of the creation of a. Govemraent De" i partmenfc for Wales, and uls.L-s.iU? 11;¿1Có) Halo 1 for my country. Nine years ago, by S -if E3 cirmiated by opponents jiwi Wow poll, thai I was | employing choa.pt C5*«labour, I teropor- I axily lost the cor^5J«riOi of t; saajoority of thft electors of this Borcra&k, but I assert aiid have proved my assertion, that never have 1 ) been connected; with any coal InÏn; in Chin; 1 or elsewhere, and never have I employe • Chinese labour in my life. > My visit to China was by invitation of the Imperial Chinese Government, and that visit | benefited the industries of this constituency. My mission in tbe East was in the interest of j peaceful comrosroe, and was neither tactless l nor treasonable. j During recent years, many LibaraJs have em- j braced Communistic Socialism, which is as un- j patriotic as it is impractical. My d«sire is tnat I you should return two members to the fold of j United Liberalism, which has s-cured for you S in the past all the privileges you now enjoy. My Socialistio opponents describe the Budget as "inadequate"; Disestablishment as of "secon- dary importance"; and the return of a few extreme Socialistic fanatics as the dominating factor in this Election. The great Liberal Party are confronted by the Tory Party, which is backed by the heeredi- tary Lords. TSfoe fight is between the Liberals and the Peers. While not averse to a Second or Upper Chamber, I want to have it an elec- tive and not an hereditary body. I want the House of Lords reformed, not by the Lords, but by the Liberal Party. The reform will then be effective, and no one will in future be a Legislator by the accident of birth but by the votes of the People. The power of the Liberal Party alone can make this, possible. The united ranks of Libesala alone can gain for Labour the reforms it desires. Be true, then, to the Party who are able and anxious to effect reform, and retuzn to the House of Commons two eound Liberals and two loyal Welshmen, to represent their countrymen, and to wield the only double-barrelled electoral weapon in the political army of Wales. T, am, Gentlemen, i Your Obedient Servant, W. PRITCELARD-MORGAN.

To the Electors of fne Parliamentary Borough or Merthyr Tydfil. GM;TLmium,- The publicly elected representatives of the progressive electors of the Merthyr Boroughs have conferred upon me tbe great honour of selecting me to be the Liberal Candidate at the forthcoming election. The Liberal Government that was returned four years ago has not only fulfided the prom- ises made at th., General Election, but has pushed forwrard on democratic lines many long delayed reforms. Free Trade has been maintained; the Armv and Navy have been, established on a more economical and moro efficient basis; foreign relations axe happier; the Colonies are more loyal tiiaii ever before; a free, contented Commonwealdi has been created in Africa; and the basis of representative government has been, successfully laid in our Indian Empire. New sources of revenue had to be tapped this year, in order to provide for the payment of Old Age Pensions, and for establishing schemes for dealing with Unemployment and scientifi- cally developing our AgriculturaJ Resources; and, further, in order to prepare for additional revenue in future years to make practicable the removal of the Old Age Pension Pauper Disqualiifcation, and to meet the extension and expansion of Social Legislation. Our distinguished fellow-countryman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, drafted: a Budget which proved that money could be raised for social reform, under our Free Trade system, without inflicting any real hardship upon Any class or industry, and without placing any additional taxes on the food of the people. The Budget, also, by means of the taxes on Royalties and Land Values, will ensure for the future that the monopoly values created by the community shall be available resources for national revenue, and for relieving the burden of Local Rates. Tho Land Valuation Proposals if passed into law will enable individuals, industries, and pub- lics bodies to obtain land more easily and cheaply than at present for Housing, Works, and Small Holdings; and the way will be cleared for Leasehold Enfranchisement and a comprehensive scheme of Land Reform. But, the House of Lords has committed a gross outrage on the British Constitution. For. the first time in tho history of our country the Annual Finance Bill has ben rejected, the Annual Finance Bill has been rejected, f the House of Lords the dominant issue in N, ? election. The Prime Minister has declared that the Liberal Government will insist—(1) on having the power of placing beyond question for ever the sole undivided control of financial matters by the elected representatives of the people; (2) on abolishing the [Veto of the Hpuao of Lords. I therefore respectfully invite the electors of this constituency to record— (1) An overwhelming vote against the ar- %■ roganoe of the House of Lords, and against its infiringemiant of our hardest won and most deeply cherished liberties. (2) An overwhelming vote of approval i>f the principles of the Budget. If you do me the honour of returning me as one of the members for the constituency, I shall do all in my power to support the Chancellor in developing the policy initiated in his Budget. I shall likewise support the Prime Minister's programme comprising Education and Licensing Measures; Local Self-Government for Ireland!; and a Measure, of Electoral Reform including the extension of the Franchise to Women on a democratic basis. I'shall become a loyal member of the Welsh Party, and shall co-operate with the Party in pressing the special claim of Wales for the es- tablishment of Religious Equality. Further, I shall endeavour to secure special legislative and administrative treatment for Walee. and the appointment of a Secretary for Walea on the lines of the Scottish and Irish Departments. Finally, having been born in the constituency, and having- lived all my lifo amongst tEe work- ers o! t Jncld, I shall naturally be anxious to devote particular attention to our industrial ami lu!l problem?, å, for Imtanc?, the oltoris t.o stvaie a new clear definition of a Ü A\ili to trt',Qp tjw utigtf Sf .IId'. Exchanges and schemes of Insurance against Sickness end Unemployment, and to recast our obsolete Poor Law system. The Lords block the way. Until the power of the hereditary peers to destroy measures of social welfare is abolished, Liberalism cannot do its work of justly distributing the burdens of State, of ehminating,ithe forces that pauper- ise our people, of fostering the development of our industries, and of welding all sections of society into a healthier and happier community striving for the common good. Gentlemen, the whole future of our race de- pends upon this fight; the faithful sacrifice of our forefathers calls from the past, and I con- fidently appeal for a majority that will remain on record as a striking example of the answer of Walps to all usurpers of their rights. <rTrech Gwlad nag Arglwydd. f I havo the honour to be, f Yours faithfully, -EDGAR REES JONES.

TO THE ELECTORS OF MERTHYR TYDFIL BOROUGHS. Election Address and Manifesto OF A. C. FOX-DAVIES. GENTLEMEN,— I have been unanimously adopted as the Unionist and Tariff Reform candidate by the Merthyr Boroughs Conservative Assoc tion, at the coming Election, and am receh- j its whole-hearted support; consequently, I have the honour of asking to be elected as one of your Representatives in Parliament. Apart from all consideration of the defuhct finance Bill, the chief and first item in the Conservative Programme is the corning of Tariff Reform. Instead of only raising the Revenue from Import Duties, as at present existing, upon Food and other necessaries of life, which we cannot produce in this country, :md the whole of which taxation, conEflquentlv, falls upon us here as the Consumers, it is pro- posed to levy Import Duties upon all Foreign inanufactured articles, according to the extent of tha labour which has been spent upon such articles abroad. The intention is to compel the whole of our Imports, as far as possible, to come into this country in their rawest efcato, so that whatever wages have to be paid for the iabour neosssary to transform Raw Material into the Finished Article must be paid in this country to British Workmen and spent in this v.o:xntry with British Tradesmen, whilst the profit accruing to the British Manufacturer will 1. mulcted by the Income Tax for the benefit of the British Exchequer. The effects of the coming of Tariff Reform will be (1) the exten- sion of our Export Trade by the breaking- down of hostile Foreign Tariffs, which exclude our own manufactures from Foreign Markets; (2) the increase of Traae in our own manufactured products and goods in our Home and Coloniaj Markets, by the protection of such markets for our own benefit fis against the Foreigner; (3) th» raising of a large part of our revenue by tho Tax upon Foreign manufactured goods which will come in, in spite of the Tariff. Theia will be, chiefly, those goods which we cannot manufacture ourselves, or which are preferred on account of their foreign origin. Such goods are exclusively luxuries, and will be bought by wealthy people upon whom the Tax will, therefore, f&lL They deserve to pay it. On manufactured goods which come into this country, not as luxuries, but in competition with goods of British Manufacture, the Tax will be entirely paid by the Foreigner, and thus we shall be enable to get an appreciable part of our Revenue out of the pockets of the Foreigner instead of paying it ourselves. By the increase in the volume of British Trade and the enforcing of the Aliens Act, which is a Conservative Act, whieb that Party intend, when they are returned, to enforce to its utmost limits, the Fareigii Blackleg and the Alien willing to work in Sweated Industries at starvation prices-will be rigidly excluded. I am willing to vote for anything to sttengtfeen that Act. The result of Tariff Reform and the real use of the Aliens Act will be an Increase in Wages, because when there are two men and only one job, the Employer dictates the rate of wages. When there are two jobs and only one applicant, the Workman makes the terms. The Conservative Party put the in of the British Workman and the British Manufac- turers before the interests of the Foreigner. The Foreigner may suffer under British Tariff Reform, but that is his oonoern and not ours. In 1908, Foreign-made Steel was imported duty free, chiefly through South Wales Ports, to the extent of over 560,000 tons. The result has been that Dowlais Works are. working short time and Qyfarthfa Works are closed. There is no reason why the whole of that Steel should not have been made in this country, and the wages paid to British Workmen instead of to the Foreigner, and spent in this country instead of abroad. I am personally as confident as I am that the sun will rise to-morrow, that the coming of Tariff Reform will re-open Cyfarthfa Works and put Dowiais men on full time, because a Tariff will transfer to this country the manu- facture of the Steel now imported, and the de- servedly high reputati-on of the Steel made in this Constituency is bound to bring here the bulk of the manufacture of the higher qualities. An increase in the manufacture of Steel means an increased demand for Coal. It takes three tons of Coal to make a ton of finished Steel; it takes just as much or more Coal for the transit of raw material as for the transit of the finished arttda; and if we extend our Im- ports of Raw Material and our Exports of Manufactured Goods as we shall do under Tariff Reform, still more Coal will be needed for purposes of transport. No important in- dustry exists without the consumption of Coal. Tariff Reform benefits all industries, and in- creased consumption means Higher Prices for Coal, and higher prices mean Better Wages. Therefore, Vote for Tariff Reform and More Money in the pockets of everybody in the Con- stituency. Under Tariff Reform, there will be No Taxation of Raw Material, and Mr. Bal- four, my Leader, has pledged himself and the Party that he will not countenance any further taxation of focd than exists at present under a Radical Government. The second item in the Programme of the Conservative Party is the making oertain of tbe Safety of the Empire by means of an In- crease in the Navy. The Radical Party will have left us on little more than an equality (if that) with Germany, and the old two-power standard of the Conservatives has gone. The Conservatives put the Safety of the Empire first, and I am in favour of keeping England supreme at eea, and beyond the menace of Ger- many or any other country; We can bargain better when we are in a position to dictate the terms. In referring the defunct Finance Bill to the Electors of this country, the House of Lords made an honest attempt to find out whether or not a majority in the whole of the United Kingdom aosired the Bill to become law. They have done nothing more, and themselves pre- tend to no greater power than to Trust the People to say what they desire; and by doing as they have done, the House of Lords has ful- filled the duty resting on its shoulders. In spite of throats, they are willing to trust the people. The Radicals ask the Electors to give such a reply that they will never again be consulted in a matter of doubt. The Budget was bad Finance, dictated by a policy of revenge rather than the raising of Revenue. In spite of the increased rates of Taxation, there ia in sevral departments an alarming decrease in the Revenue received at the increased rate. The Budget also laid upon the Poorer Classes an unfair share of the neoes- sarily increa od Taxation, of which unfair share the Conserve tives disapprove and intend to dis- pense with. Taxation should rest on the ahouW-eas of the wealthy and those able to bear it. f If Mining Royalties are to be subjected to further Taxation, then the whole of 'such Tax- ation should bo entirely devoted to and spent in the neighbourhood from which such Taxation upon Wasting Capital is drawn. I believe that the increase in the value of the Land, by its use for building purposes, is due in the larger proportion to those who directly, or through Building Clubs and Societies, risk their own c&Riial and expend upon the Land their own energy, and the results of their own thrift and self-denial. I will be no party to any attempt to deprive them of the just fruits an,A profits of their enterprise. The-Conservative Party desire to facilitate the acquisition of small quantities of Land, and to increase the number of email Land- holders; a:1d under the proposals which are officially put forward 1. the Party, it will be possible to procure Land in small quantities for agricultural and building purposes, and the money will be advanced with which to buy the Land freehold. Isn't that better and even cheaper than a yearly tenancy or a long lease? Remember, what the Conservatives promise they perform, if they are returned to power. Conservative Bills are practical and are passed. » I am in favour of the Abolition of the Pauper J jsfc&l m ms £ l enjoying Old Age Pensions. The Conservative Party is pledged to this, and also to the pay- ment of the present Pensions. In addition to the foregoing, which are the officially-recommended promises of the Con- servative Party, I wish to allude to certain matters which are within the limits of actual practical Politics. If, as I believe to be possible, any system of Leasehold Enfranchisement is brought forward which deals equitably with the interests of Lessors, Lessees, sub-Lessees and Mortgagees, I will not only vote for it, but will advocate it to the best of my ability. As a Welshman, I will put the interests of Weles before those of any other part of the Empire, and I am in favour of the creation of a Secretary of State for Wales. I am in favour of the Abolition of Tithe in Wales by purchase with the money derived from the taxation upon Mining Royalties levied in Wales, and will advocate this strenuously. I am in favour of the Abolition of Imprison- ment for Debt in any form. I am in favour of the .Amendment and Amel- ioration of the Poor Law, and of th3 lAw of Distress. As the son, grandson, and great-grandson of Nonconformists, I will vote for any proposal which relioves members of the Free Churches from any disability, if any real disability now exists; but as a member myself of the Established Church, I will not assist in any attempt to Dis- establish or Disendow the Church or to further molest the Schools. As a member of the Bar, which is, in effect, the most stringent Trades Union which exists, I will try to further any proposal of Trades Unionists which is fair and equitable to all Workers, who, I honestly think, may rely as entirely upon a Conservative as on a Labour Member, to take care of the Industrial and non-political interests and desires of the Indus- trial Classes. The Abolition of the House of Lords, the equal distribution of wealth, and other feuch like proposals from Dreamland, are impossible in this generation. Why waste your votes on vain ideals? Be practical, and vote for things which are practical and which will put money into your own pocsois. The meaning* of Conservatism is the preser- vation and extension of the right of every man to enjoy his own property, and to dispose of his own earnings and savings as he chooses, without interference and with the mimnnwri of taxation upon them, and his liberty to do what he likes, where he likes, when he likes, and how he likes, so long as in so doing he does not, injure the equal liberty .of another.

To the Parliamentary Electors of the County of Brecknock, GENTLEMEN,— At the invitation of thie Liberals and Pro- gressives of Brecknockshire, I have consented to stand as their caiididato at the coming Election. Never in our time havo the Electors bad so grave an issue before them as the present one. Never have they had to give a decision more vital to the future of the nation. Four years ago the country gave one of the most emphatio mandates in its history when ¡ it placed the Progressive party in power with one of the largest majorities on record. You by an equally decisive majority sent me to j join that party. We were pledged to advocaie the principles of Free rlkade, Religious Equality, Social end Temperance Reform, and the policy expressed in the noble sentiment of the late Piimo Minister, that the land should be leas a pleasure ground for the rich, and mere a treasure house for the nation, Top Government, early in the first Session, toov steps to carry out the mandate of the cc ;nir in regard to the Education Con .11 T drafted au exteTMivo progracuno of ''i:: „ Sation, but the House of Lards rendered im- possible any eettlement of the Edot&faoa Question, and scorafully rejected a ao,-amim limiting the multiplication of votes which pro- perty was deemed to have conferred. The re- jection of this necessary measure was quite in harmony with the doctrine, to which the Lords are committed, that the right to the franchise is determined by wealth rather. than, citizenship. Each succeeding Session the Lords, embold- ened by sncoess, became more arrogant in their claims until this year they not only asserted their right to reject or mutilate popular legislation, but, to bring the adhmnristzative functions of the Government to a standstill by refusing to pass the Finanoe Bill The money required for our Navy, Army, Civil Service, and Old Age Pensions, granted in the Com- mons, has been withheld by the Lords, and the Government of the country is brought to a deadlock. That unwarrantable proceeding, for which no precedent can be found for over 200 years, has left the Government no option but to appeal to the People for power to deal with this invasion of the rights of the People's Representatives. If the Electors uphold the Lordi claim, there need be no Honse of Commons, for the Lords would be able to force any reactionary legislation' upon the country. I am. well aware that effeflrts are being made to delude fanners into the belief that the Budget imposes further burdens on Agricultural Land, but the Budget does no such thing. The Budget in every passible way protects agricultural land from extra taxation and favours the hardworking farmer and good landlord. I apeal with the neatest confidence for your support, trusting that my record during the past four years has been such as to deserve a renewal of your confidence and because I am convinced that Brecknockshire will stand by the Representative Chamber in its determination to maintain inviolable the ancient principle of the Constitution that all taxation must originate in the House of Com- mons, and ought not to be interfered with by the Lords. I am, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, SIDNEY ROBINSON. Bronheulog, Brecon, Jan. 5th', 1810.

To the Electors of the West Monmouthshire Parliamentary Division. GENERAL ELECTION, JANUARY, 1910. GENTLEICEK,— Having been honoured with your confidence as your Representative in the House of Com- mons for the last five years, I have, to the best of my ability, served the true interests of this Division and the Country generally, and confid- ently appeal ofor a renewal of your confidence in the fort-hooming Election. I welcome the opportunity that is afforded you to assert by your votes the constitutional rights bf the House of Commons. The House of Lords upon this occasion, in defence of their own personal interests are en- deavouring to nullify the efforts of toe repre- sentativea of the people to raise the Revenue necessary for providing the payment ot "Old Age Pensions," and for dealing with "Unem- ployment," and many "Social Reforms," by taxes upon the unearned, increment, derived from IAncl Values and other monopolies. The Hbuas of Lords by this action are thus prevent- ing the further relief of the necessaries of life from Taxation. In this Election you are asked by your vote to emphatically declare that for all time the House of Commons, and that House alone, is to decide whether taxes are to be levied upon the Luxuries and Abundance of the Rich, rather than upon. the Poverty and Necessities of the Poor. You have also the opportunity of expressing yowr reaeatment and condemnation of the man- nor in which the House of Lords have mutilated or destroyed the various Measures of Reform passed by your Representatives, and to insist tha.t Dot only the veto of the House of Lords upon financial matters roust be abolished, but tnat the will of your Representatives must pre- vail in all future legislation. The abolition of the Veto of an Hereditary, Arrogant, Selfish Chamber is, in this Election, the first duty of all those who believe in Gov- ernment of the People by the People. The passing of the Budget, the Preserva- tion of Free Trade and No Tastes on Food, Work for the Unemployed, Provision for the Aged Sick and Crippled in the Battle of Life, Care for the Children, and Full Public Control of our Educational System, Religious Liberty and Equality, Homo Rule for Ireland, and many other Social and Industrial Relorms are awaiting your decision in this momentous issue. The People or the Peers? Yoor Vote is your I weapon, and I confidently appeal for its use in of Liberty and Freedom. j ,-> -x. tYour Obedient Servant, THOMAS RICHARDS. I 5>.
