THE REAL UUESTION.
BUDGET VERSUS TARIFF REFORM. "A RE-HASH." LONDON, 9th DecemDer. Mr. George Wyndham, formerly Chief Secretary for Ireland, speaking at the Constitutional Club, declared that the real question underlying the Government's threat against the House of Lords was whether the electorates were to be committed to the policy of the Budget, and against Tariff Reform, without having an opportunity of saying which they preferred. The policy of Tariff Reform alone would assure the Empire of means for meeting the urgent needs of defence, employment, and unity. He could hardly call the Budget a policy; it was a re-hash of State Cobdenism, spiced with a little Socialistic seasoning.
