POLICE LINK ARMS ——— ——— To Protect Chancellor ? I excited cornishmen hoot Mr. Lloyd George had an experience oil Saturday (so the" Daily Mail" declares) ^fiminisoent of a celebrated incident in \hi'Üh he was the centml figure at Birming- ham a few years ago. The Chancellor arrived at Falmouth at 9.20 On Saturday- nurht. It had been arranged tba.t he snouid alight a.t Penryn, the station before Falmouth, and be escorted into Fal- mouth by a torchlight procession of his sup- Dorters. The granite workers in the district-, however, are so incensed at the orders for granite for Roeyth being given to foreigners that a counter demonstration was orgraoAeed and the opposition assumed such proportions that the police advised fresh arrangements. A hurried consultation was held, and in order to save Mr. Lloyd George from amy Unpleasant incident it was decided to aban- don the original programme, and that he should proceed direct to Falmouth. When the train stopped- at Penryn the angry shouts of the disappointed section of the crowd dominated the cheers of the Cham- supporters, and cries of "Coward!" and "Traitor!" were freely mingled with those of "Votes for women!" At Falmouth the precaution had been taken of olosing all the goates and other ^eans of access to the station. The plat- form, however, was crowded with police, and \hen Mr. Lloyd George stepped from his ('.0111 per tment his arms were immediately linked in those of two constables, and in this way, followed by a posse of police, he Was taken to a motor-car waiting outside. Dries of "Reminds you of Birmingha.m "Why don't you borrow a constable's unfl- form?" and the like were frequently heard above the cheers of his supporters, the "bOos" of opponents, and the shouts of "Votes for women!" The motor-car was driven off, and a few torc.hbea.rers accompanied it the fw yards to the Falmouth Hotel, where the Chancellor is staying. "Black Bread for Peers" MR. LLOYD GEORGE. Air. Lloyd George on Saturday night at Plymouth said he showed when at the Board of Trade that he was not afraid of putting matters right as between the foreigner and the Britisher. He was quite ready to slay the Egyptian if he was interfering with his own People, but this would not be done except by Free Trade. Why should prices be so much higher in Germany if it was the foreigaer who paid? Bread, rjiment, housing, and everything there? If was because, as the German knew. he paid ind not the foreigner, and the Ger- man had to eat black bread and horseflesh. The "Daily Mail," which always told the truth—(Laughter)—said this bread was whole- ^>me and the Germans liked it. Well, let it be tried on the peers. Give them three Months of b'ack bread diet and the most Juicy horseflesh—(laughter)—and before they had got through three days they would say, "Let us piuss the Budget." Were they worried in this district with tra-nips — <"yes" and laughteri well, let them a.gain. cr merchant gbips in Germany they h-ad 2,600,000 tons of shipping. In our little numerable Free Trade country—ruined because we did not tax bread—(laughter) we had got over 1,100,000,000 tons; we did most of the business of the world; we carried more internal trade, probably ten times, than Germany. (Cheers.) We did not do it for Nothing. Our shipping brought us over ■ £ 100,000,000 a year, mostly paid by that Wretched foreigner. (Laughter.) We got the foreigner in four ways. The f, r,t we left to Lord Rothschild, who, knowing th .s was a Free Trade country, with plenty of money to spare, garnered his money together. then lent it to the foreigner. Lord Rothschild had quoted in the House of Lords his father 14. having said that there was nothing more fruitful for the trade of a country than the fact that it was able* to advance money to foreign land. Lord George Hamilton made a very offensive attack on him the other day when he said, Why do you bring over this Welshman to look after our finance?" He begged Lord George's pardon. lie thought he v.-as a Unionist. Was not this the United Kingdom? His (Mr. Lloyd George's) ancestors were here a thousand years a-go. lie wondered where Lord George's came from. Like most aristocrat, probably he was pome- thing of a mongrel. He thought Lord George Hamilton belonged to that set whom they called in Ireland, The Hungry Hamiltons," and he was the hungriest of them all. (L&"ghter.j When he was down at his old home the other day a li-el-d cf rabbita bolted at the sight of him, though he had no gun. fiog, or snare. The Tories were just the earce, tracked by the Radical weazel—(latigh- ter)—fearing the bay of the democratic bloodhound, hearing in thf cistance the crack of the German rifle-(more laughter)— but. like the rabbits, their nervousness did not prevent them from eating up the crops. (Laughter.) An Election Forecast At Stonehouse Mr. Lloyd George said that as the result of going about the country he found tnat the Liberals were going to win the election. (Cheers.) They were not merely going to win; they intended to make some- thing out of their victory. At this point there was a noise of some- thing falling at the back of the stage. That," said Mr. Lloyd George, sounds almost like the fall of the Houee of Lords." A little later at the back of the stage again came a voice through a megaphone calling, Votes for women," and there was some dis- turbance. Mr. Lloyd George added that the Lords would not have thrown out the Budget if he had put the burden on the people. They would have risen and called him blessed. They rose now and called him something wu~ he would not repeat in decent society. (Laughter.) "AN INSOLENT THING." MR. CHURCHILL. Mr. Churchill, at Leven, Bast Fife, on Saturday night. said the Prime Minister h«ad simply wiped the floor w-ith Mr. Balfour. The Lords' rejection of the Budget was aLl insolent thing. The whole of Lord Lansdowne was indeed one of aristocratio insolence, and the played-out, obsolete, anachronistic Assembly he led only required a smashing blow now from the electorate to finisoh it for .ever. Lord Lanbdowne said the other night salid. "Twenty years ago who would ever have thought a, Lloyd George likely." He (Mr. Church ill) replied, "'Twen'ty years hence who would ever think a Lanfidowne possible." What was Mr. Lloyd George represen- ta,tive of? The democratic freedoan of the British Constitution, which ena-bled a man of merit and parts to rise from a village school to a position of the highest consequence under the Crown. That was what Mr. Lloyd George's career represented. What did Lord L-anisdowne's career repre- sent? It represented privilege and favour from beginning to end. It represented con- sistent and unbroken spoon-feeding from start to finish. (Laughter.) It represented the royal road to favour and employment. And what did Lord Lansdowne's political action represent? It represented not the authority of the people, but the partisanship of a faction and of a class; it represented a small group of hereditary legislators who were in close alliance with the caucus of the Tory party. Sometimes he wevt t-nrongri the form of holding a meeting in his back parlour. (Laughter.) At another time, "A nod is as good as a winh." A letter was written to the Licensed YiotU'a,Ilers' AssociBJt,h>n. who were assa,red their cause would not be lost sight of. MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S LETTERS Mr. AuMen Chamberlain, informed that a Mr. W. S. Spurgeoai, in the course of an address, alluding to the letters published with the signature of Mr. Chamberlain, was alleged to have said that Mr. Chamberlain was incapable of writing a single word, that he was practically an imbecile, and that Mr. Austen Chamberlain or somebody else wrote those letjters in Mr. Joseph Chamberlain s as folows:— If Mr. Spurgeon used the language quoted by you he said that which is untrue. I make no comment on the cruel and indecent character of the lie, but you have my authority to oontradict it publicly. Such inventions can only disgrace their authors. They cannot inju-re those against whom the slanders are made.
