Secretary Ohamberigin Wants Oape Oolony Prepared for thé Transvaal. Sa Sir William Verspa Harcourt Opposes Taxation for th? Purposes of War— Challenge ¢ Hake an Issue. Sel 2h @ne of the most sensational discussions that has taken place in the British house of commons took place yesterday afternoon. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Mi- chael Hicks-Beach, read the budget state- ment in the house of commons. The bal- anced account for 1896-97 shows the ex- chequer revenue to be £103,960,000 ($519,750,- 000), and the expenditures £101,477,000 ($507,- 885,000), leavirg a surplus of £2,473,000 ($12,- 365,000). The chancellor of the exchequer, who was heartily cheered, added that the na- tional debt had een reduced . £7,584,000 ($37,420,000) during ‘the year, and that the total value of British“trade during the last financial year was £738,000,000 ($3,600,000,- 000), an increase of 5 per cent. He dwelt rpon tte “increased prosperity shown by this mere than by the beer drank and'th3 tobacto consumed: ‘The increase in the income tax revenue exceeded the estimate by nearly £3,500,0U0 ($17,500,000). ; ‘The chancellor of the exchequer said that @ careful estimate was made in 1896, and that they were bound to make an equally careful one in 1897. “Especially because #& var cloud has Just broken out, and no one is able to say how long it will last or how far it will extend.” ‘The receipts from the income tax are larger than ever before. “This being jubilee year,” the chancellor of the exchequer further said, “it ts inter- esting to con:pare ‘the finances of 1836-7 with those of last year. The revenue was £52,500,000, and tow it is £112,000,000. ‘Then 71 per cent of the revenue was derived from 1axes on commoiities; now, only 44 per cent of the revenue is derived from such taxes. Then the tctal of foreign trade was £125,- 000,000; now it is £738,000,000. “Our monarchy was never so valuable to the country as now. We were the best and cheapest’ monarchy in the world in 1836-7, wien it cost the nation £534,000; now it costs .the nation £185,009. “The total exchequer expenditures for the current year are estimated at £101,104,- 000, and the revenue is estimated at £108,- 360,000, showing an apparent surplus of over £1,500,000, but in view of the increase in the strength of foreign navies, the gov- ernment intend to add half a million to the naval estimates already presented. “We had also to very carefully consider our position as the paramount power in South Africa, and decided to make a ma- terial increase in the imperial garrison in that colony. These measures are not taken in an aggressive spirit. We intend to ful- fill our obligations, and expect others to do zs same. For this purpose we want £200,- “The sum of £360,000 will be devoted to postal and telegraph reforms, including the cost of the reduction of colonial and foreign postage from 24d. to 2d. per half ounce, which the British delegate will propose at the international pgstal congress at Wash- ington. aS “The remainder'*bf the surplus will be devoted to educat{¥n ‘in Ireland and Scot- land and for the egjtertainment of the colo- nial and foreign guests: during the jubilee celebrations.” fixe ; Harcourt Opposes ‘Taxes for War in South Africa. Sir William Verhon'Hhrcourt, the Hberal leader, referring fa the" £200,000 set apart in the budget estimates for strengthening the British garriséns incSouth Africa, said |- this sum was fot.a wir policy in South Africa, which th: opposition was deter- mfned to resist. 27°" Sir William Hargount accused Mr. Cham- berlain of trying to arouse:a war feeling and of using in all his recent statements “exasperating ‘languaker catcuteté® to ex- cite feeling of racial hatred in South Africa, which, however, thank God,have failed.” Sir William Harcourt’s remarks were met with cries of “Oh! Oh!” Continuing, he safd the policy of the sec- retary of state for the colonies, intending to produce a racial war, was defeated by the good sense and feeling of the people of Cape Colony, and he pointed to the adop- tion of the’ recent conciliatory motion in the parliament of Cape Colony as being a condemnation of this war policy, adding that he was happy to say the peaceful policy was supported by the government of Cape Colony. The secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, here entered the house, and, amid cheers, Sir William Har- court said: “In the presence of Mr. Chamberlain, I repeat that it was a defeat of an utterly unjustifiable attempt to excite ill-feeling. When we are asked to refuse a reduction of the taxes of Great Britain in order to contribute money to promote warlike, ag- gressive operations in South Africa (Oh! Oh!) we oppose a most determined resist- ance. The proposal to apply money to un- justifiable purposes against the will of the people and government of Cape Colony is one of the most injurious things with refer- ence to the empire ever submitted to the house of commons.” Chamberlain Replies. Mr. Chamberlain said he had not expect- ed to have to reply to such “pernicious and dangerous language.” He classed Sir Wil- liam Harcourt’s utterances as being “‘un- patriotic in the highest degree, embarrass- ing to the government and injurious to the cause of peace.” Continuing, Mr. Chambeflain asserted that Sir William Harcourt’s statements to the effect that the government's policy had Sresesfondoaseesontonteesententeeteegonteesentonteeseetontens There’s chaff in suit sales, ; They’re not giving you $12 to $16 suits for $7.50, just as there is chaff in the grain.

The policy of the government, he explained, ‘nad not changed. from the first. Only cir- cumstances had changed to some extent. The government's policy, Mr. Chamberlain added, is to maintain its obligations, not to engage in any aggressive operations, nor to attack the independence of a friendly state, but “to maintain our rights and the rights of the nation.” “I had hoped,” continued Mr, Chamber- lain, “that our policy would continue to be non-partisan, but that hope has disappeared in the face of Sir William Harcourt's speech, and I now challenge him to raise the issue. (Cheers and countercheers.) Are the opposition prepared to take issue with us when we say that while we intend to observe our own obligations, we intend that obligations toward ug shall be maintained? The question between us and the Trans- vaal is not interference in the internal af- fairs of the Transvaal, nor an attack on the London convention upon our part, but breaches of the convention upon the part of the Transvaal, and are calling upon them in friendly terms ‘S give us satisfac- tion.” io Sir Wm.
