MODERN PHILOSOPHY.
[ take the following gem from a speech recently made by Lord Rosebery: "Acquaintance with al} the pro- ( blems connected with land was perI haps the most desirable of all forms I of knowledge that could be acquired by a member of Parliament. There had been a most disastrous harvest in many parts of England and Scotland, but he luid seen only two authoritative, remedies proposed. Ono was to investigate what further taxes could be put on the land, and l the other was to clap all the taxes on the land. (Laughter.) This is a remendy that could not recommend itself, to ali, and would, he thought, be singularly futilo in its operation. (Hear, hoar.) They would remember the parable of the Good Samaritan. A certain man went from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves. A good Samuritan came by and revived him ami refreshed him, but he did not- do it i by clapping a blister on him. (Laughter.) That seemed to be the modern philosophy of the best means of reviving a decaying industry in this country." ■
