My laborers will be discharged don’t like to do it, but it will be When the country learned of the sore straits that the duke would be put to if the tax on unearned increment was enforced, | the entire population of Great Britain rose up and said it was a great pity to reduce an imperial duke to penury. I that stand between the duke of Portland and the alms house are five palaces, 180,000 acres of land, and a controlling interest jn two railroads. Secing the admirable effect of the duke of Portland's speech tipon his constituency, another duke made a speech. It had been the custom, he said, from time immemorial, for the duke} to make the peasantry presents of bits of beef at Christmas- time. While he didn’t wish unnecessarily to alarm the peasantry, he feared that next Christmas they would have to buy their own} beef—that is, if they didn’t get out and hustle against the bud get. He really couldn't afford to buy Christmas beef if the government raised his taxes. All England wept. Here was sheer destitution. But sadder tidings were on the wa Up rose Lord Harrington and said: “If Lloyd-George has his way with this socialistic budget of his, I will have to give up my hounds. I really will. You have no idea how expensive hounds are.” When the toilers in the potteries in the Black country, the} miners in the collieries of Durham and the iron workers in the factories of Sheffield read Lord Harrington’s speech, their sor tow knew no bounds. What was the country coming to, any how? Then up spake the marquis of Tullibardine: “Mr. Lloyd George is responsible for there being a very small demand from wealthy tenantS)for shootings in the highlands. What has the tight honorable gentieman to say to this?” LJoyd-George couldn't think of a thing to say. When the dockwallopers of East Ham and the Hooligans of Battersea were Informed by the conservative press that, because of the folly of Lloyd-George, the marquis of Tullibardine could not} rent his deer park in the highlands to an American millionaire, their sympathy for the marquis was exceeded only by their bitterness against the minister of finance. As every one knows who has ever indulged in fox-hunting or deer-hunting, the first object aimed at is the happiness of the fox and the deer. Everything else is subordinated to that main purpose. Then, when the happiness of the fox and the deer is assured, the hunters concern themselves in the happiness of the farmers over whose crops they are good enough to gallop and whose poultry are fortunate enough to be eaten by the foxes. When quite certain that ‘the farmers are prosperous and contented, the master of the hounds and his friends Ic welfare of the widowed and orphaned and destitute of the neigh borhood.
