Speaking at Birmingham on Thursday, Mr. Ansten Chamberlain said that

Tariff Reform and land reform were the two features of the Unionist programme. Tariff Reform was "not dead and not dying." It had got a hold on the people which it would never lose. Turning to the Osborne judgment, he said that the demands of the Trade- Union Congress were contrary to his conception of liberty. He would never be a party to the reversal of the Osborne judgment. "It is a monstrous abuse of the power of an organised majority to force from men who have joined Trade- Unions, not as politicians, but as workmen, contributions to the support of political principles which they repudiate."
