As to what would be done, the public were not long left in doubt. On the 1 8th of March, 1867. Mr. Disraeli came forward with a measure of reform far more sweeping in its nature than that which he had in the pre- vious administration so vigorously and success- fully opposed. The extension of suffrage was to be made on a new principle, or at least a principle which appeared to be new, though in fact it had been advocated in Disraeli's early writings. In his speech introducing the meas- 212 LORD ...BEACONSFIELD. ure he called attention to the fact that no less than five times since 1832 attempts had been made to place the right of suffrage on a firm basis, but that all of these had failed. He declared that they had failed because they were mere expedients, whereas the question could only be settled by the adoption of a clearly de- fined principle. Hitherto the right to vote had depended upon income; it ought to depend, he declared, upon permanency of interest. He therefore proposed the substitution of the principle of household suffrage in the place of suffrage founded upon the payment of a fixed rate.
