Tho labourer was koooked on the head. Thero was a tremendous disproportion of power. He confessed that the Liberals had enormously increased the responsibilities of the Government. Mr Chamberlain, speaking at HalesBowen, admitted that bo had not expected anything like suoh a political revolution. Tariff reform was postponed, not dead. It would yet be acknowledged the only political remedy for tho distress confronting the Euglish trade and workmen. Tho eleot'ons were one huge, Radical log-roll-ing operation.
