HOUSE OF LOURS.
A PARTISAN ASSEMBLY. SPEECH BY LLOYD-GEORGE. HINTS OF COMING TAXATION. By Telegraph.— Presi Association.— CdpyrigUfc. (Received December 23, 8 a.m.) LONDON, 22nd December. The Right- Hon. D. Lloyd-George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at Liverpool, denounced the House of Lords as a purely partisan assembly. The Liberals would deal firmly and boldly with the question of reforming thnt House. It was impossible to tolerate the present humiliating conditions of legislation on Lord Lansdowne's sufferance. The next Budget, said the speaker, would raise new taxes without interfering with any productive industry. He denounced tariff reform as implying steadily-increasing protection, judging by the experience of other countries.
