Ten Years Of Tory Government 1895-1905 Home Affairs (1905)

Excerpt From Ten Years Of Tory Government: 1895-1905; Home Affairs; A Handbook For The Use Of Liberals. Two Years Ago In Writing A Few Prefatory Words To Eight Years Of Tory Government I Said That No Government Since The Days Of Charles The Second Had So Bad A Record As The Present Administration. That Was Giving The Dog A Sufficiently Bad Name But Even So The Last Thing The Dog Is Willing To Do Is To Hang Himself. Mr. Balfour Still Outstays At Downing Street The Welcome He Never Received And Will Probably Live In History As The Prime Minister Who Has Declared His Right To Remain In Office Without The Pretence Of The Support Of The Country.. This Handbook Seeks To Show What The Domestic Record Of The Tory Government Has Been Since 1895. There Is Much Talk About Negative And Positive Policies But It Is Clearly Desirable That The Electors Who Thanks To The Septennial Act Will Before Very Long Be Allowed To Record Their Opinion In The Ballot Box Should Realise How They Have Been Governed During The Last Ten Years. If With Their Eyes Opened To What Toryism Means And Costs They Wish For A Further Dose There Will Be Nothing More To Be Said. But I Have More Confidence In The Good Sense Of My Fellow-Countrymen Who Are Not Likely To Forget In A Hurry The Trick That Was Played Upon Them In 1900. Every By-Election Shows A Payment On Account But The Full Reckoning Can Only Come At The General Election.. About The Publisher.
