Soon after twelve o'clock, JOHN CARR, of Don . - *on. -Esq. took -thy- Chide, and apologised , to the' :ng 4fer -get inteneishride absence etc the High had delegmed him to fill his place upon Idoi.neensien. . l i• iaireafiria bitfaskafte rose and said; that it was udaeommet for him to detain the - meeting, by enter. s MAD My sante description of the tax in question, ae see oppressive nature was well known; bat he wield-maintain, that never tax was imposed which bop so unequally 'upon • that comanteity ; 'that its' pihkeitnd weight lay upon the - middle Awns •of so. ciety, and that the agriculturist and commercial man felt its effects most severely. It was unjust as taxing casual profits, whilst it afforded no relief in eases of loss. The inquisitorial manner in which the Com missioners were allowed to pry into the secrets of their neighbours' trade and circumstances, he thought in compatible with the character of Englishmen, and hr should ever be a toe to that which went to detract from-our national character. The worthy Baronet concluded by moving certain_ Resolutions. . The Earl of SrItATHMORN then rose and declared, that notwithstanding the arguments made use of by the Honourable Baronet, and the seeming detestation hi which he held the tax, (the propriety of continuing which they had met to discuss), he would offer to the consideration of the meeting a few- observations of an opposite nature, by which be hived that he should be enabled to shew that an absolute necessity exiited for the lemfurary continuance of the tax in question. He, as a freeholder of the county, had attended the meeting for tl.e purpose of delivering his sentiments, and he would exercise his right. The Property Tax was, in his opinion , the fairest that toed be levied; for whilst the poor an was exempt. ed from Its effectl, the middle and higher classes paid in proportion to their incomes. It had keen laid on at a time when imperious necessity demanded it, 'imperious necessity required its continu.mce, and imperious. necessity now demandcd that it should re main in force another year. His Lordship concluded by moving that the Resolution which he should have the honour to tead to the meeting, be substituted for those which had already been heard : o_ That however anxiously this Meeting looks tool anl to the di tvolosioe of the Property Tait, still they are vowilling under I thepeceiareicevannancest in wake ibis Callan" 'is In *nom planed, to press such a stseasure.Ott it an ise take* ogr micas% endangering the best taperers of the Empire, trusting to the iilsientireit - Psittinient; ibat-taften'tbai period shaft arriie; not a onirat will be Msc hi putting an end to a tar, thc Continuance' el which nothing but estraordinary eircum.taueee, or the mesa pressing demands cut justify; and that this Meeting trusts tied at all events the period of hs renewal will not, in the event as the continuance of peace, exceed one year." The Resolution moved by the Noble Lord having been seconded by the Rev.. Dr. GRAY, Mr. LamwroN said, that the meeting had to sbew by their voice, as expressed this day, that they looked with a vigilant eye on the overwhelming expenditure which bears with such an oppressive weight on the finances of the country, and pervades with a deaden• ing influence every branch of its internal resources.— To prove that he was not advancing unfounded asser tions, he need only remind them that the public ex penditure of ;he last year was within a few pounds of . 114 millions; to provide for' which, was levied nearly 117 millions. It therefore necessarily followed, that to meet so heavy a charge, the weight of taxation must be extremely burdensome; but of all the branches of it, none, in his opinion, notwithstanding what they had just heard asserted, was so oppressive, in its effects, or so arbitrary in its mode of execution as the Income Tax. Entertaining these sentiments. therefore, he confessed he felt most happy that a re. teuisition had been signed fora meeting which might enable the county to express, is common with the rest of Engla nd, their sentiments on so injurious a tax. He begged to call their attention to the period' at which it was first imposed. The Income Tax, under the name of the Property Tax, was first im posed in 1798 ; it was even then ushered into the world as an extraordinary call. on the patriotism of the people, for the purpose of preserving (heir coun try from the contamination of French republican principles; they were told_that it was not a common cause of exertion, but that it was in support of a just and necessary war; and they were reminded. that the income Tax was a surrender of part of their pro. perty, for the preservation of the remainder. He now wished to ask the meeting, if the people of Eng., land hesitated at that call—did they demur for one 1 moment ? No, they acquiesced cheerfully, relying on the word of the Minister that the cause was ex traordinary, and likely to be of short duration.-- Their delusion was great—their repeutatice he feared, had been long and litter; for the war had lasted from that time until the present period, comprising fifteen years, daring which time the faith of: Perlin. meat had been repeatedly pledged to the people that . the tax should cease with the war, and the words of, the act confirm that asseveration. Was that solemai Pledge to be broken—wits the confidence of the peo. plc to be thus repaid with treachery and ingratitude-4, and were they, who were now at. peace with all thir_, world; to be taxed,. as when the united continent 4 Europe 'and America were arrayed in arms against lb* ? He would appeal to any one there, and ask him if be had net felt the effects of this excessive taxation! If he had not seen the middling orders of lesciety especially affected by the ruinous Iperation the impute Tax I . How, he wished to know. • , uld the possessor of £5OO per annum contribute i i r 'early £5O to that tax. without feeling it see . l ai t the diminution of his comforts, and in as iag inability to provide foe be family I— . J r ancome and opprediee, what words could he Ond eimileth tiadesigaate the arbitrary and degrading Moos. is idtich id ii evied.i was it possible that the free. beat E I PgWAWA Weld ssftmit to the prying inenisi. do of any Man My set of men t Could he al lbw his private affairs, his commercial accounts; his haidoieon and procariatis proOts to be ransacked by commissioners against whose decision there is no ap peal t To those presesit, many of whom walk en gaged in trade, he Was sure he need not expatiate on the injustice. of being obliged to disclose to a cont. missioner, perhaps to a competitor in trade, the Mite of their batsmen, and the declining condition of their commerce. In that . point of view, therefore, he con: shies* the Income Tax at a tax upon industry and enterprise. And if it wet necessary to keep up ex , cessive taxation, the necessity of which he denied, let it fall on those who toutd sustain thebnythen, and on luxurious consumption s Inn let not the poor and ia- . Justrious be ransacked until they *de deprived even of their very sasteliancet Lord STRATIWORI admitted the expenditure to be as represented by the Honourable Member, but the Property Tax, on account of which so much odium bad been thrown upon the Minister who first pro. (toed it, was incieased to 10 per cent. daring the ad. ministration of Mr. Fox. The Rev. WILLIAM NM/MLR attributed the mo. cites of certain opulent Gentlemen in opposing the continuance cir removal of the Property TA:, to get the pressure removed from their own shoulders, and havelt thrown upenahose less able to bear it. He bAd come t en Use the wards of the Noble Peer, to exercise his right as a freeholder, and to give his sen- Omegas upon the subject before the Meeting, and he would say, that to vote for the discontinuance of the Property 'fax at this time would be highly impolitic. Money is wanted to pay off the large arrears in wind ing up the war accounts, and this money must be raised in one way or other; therefore take off the roperty Tax, and view other must be sobstituted, end where can any .he found equal to the tax in ques tion, which falls principally upon the landholder, who could not be made to pay to an equal extent by any _Other species of taxation.- a -That it bore hard upon persons of limited .income he was _ready to. admit, and he should therefore be glad to see the act so ma. dified as to excuie all persons possessing less than . £5OO a-year. 1, (continued the Reverend Geode man.) have always paid to the full amount of my income: I must confess that it would be a verb- com fortable thing to get rid of the Tax, but I woitld ra• titer pay doulle the present amount than that the burthen Should fall upon the poor than, and here I again,ask, can the sum required be raised without af. fc6ng the labouring classes t Let us look to the last article of taxation, which though a trifling one, will, be found to bear doubly upen those leaet.abie to - Ida' it i aide to the tax upon leather. The poor man's shoes being twice as heavy as those of his lichees oeighbour, he is called upon to pay twice the animist,: of duty ! and other taxes equally buribensome may.• be expected to follow should the Property Tax be die. continued at this time. The Reverend Gentleman.. stated that a Gentleman who pays as much as the whole city of Durham, had intended tieing present at the Meeting that day, but was prevented by iudis. position. It was his intention to have given his vote in favour of the continuance of the tea fir one year longer, and the Reverend Gentleman must heartily concurred in his opinion of the absolute Necessity tor so doing. Dr. GRAY stated, that he could not by any means subscribe to the resolutions first brought forward, be. cause they alledged what, in his opinion, was not correct or fair, etcher to the Government or to the country, which had paid the tax • and he thought that the subject should belch to the decision of Par liament, which alone had sufficient information to judge of the wan:s and resources of the country. He could not allow that the tax was unfair in its prima. pie: attached to property wherever it was to be found, and most usefully to those great masses of wealth, which could not otherwise be brought to con tribute to the exigencies of the State : it applied, for instance, to minors, and persons whose property is under the direction of trustees, where there might be a large income and small expenditure— to great estates . and to all funded propert4--to the income of lay and ecclesiastical craporations—to the profits of trading ; companies —as that of the Bank, of the Eas% and Sea Companies. The tax was now pro ductive to a great extent i all the passages through which it passed were cleared, and the produce flowed • in with a full stream to Government. it stichar supply itere abruptly cut off before dui ezpeaces war terminated. it would occasion the necessity of ti*. great weight of new taxes, which must be' tbrom‘.. upon the great body of the community. If the pro. duce of the tax were reckoned at 14 millions, the very interest, to be imposed as a permanent charge. would amount to £700,000 a-year; or a further sum must be raised, for a gradu .1 liquidation of the capital. The tax was certainly considered as a war tax ; and . it was'enacted to remain till the 6th of April next, after the ratification of a definitive treaty of peace : t* did not, however, understand what other positive pledge could have been given, that Parliament should not, it it thought fit, revive the powers of the Act, either partially or to its full extent, and continue it beyond that period, if exigencies should so require; and the Hoe. Member well knew, that no Minister coestitutiooally to attempt to fetter Parliament. d'he war with America had not commenced when this tax was imposed, and that war had necessarily produced comiderable expence; he therefore disap proved the resolutions first proposed, and should vote for that which had been brought forward by the Noble Bad, to whom he thought the county was much indebte t for his attendance, and for the fi rm and judicious manne r i n w hi c h h e maintained what appeared to him to be consistent with the sentiments of very many of great y and respectability in thiscounty. *regrthat sub skirt and innri• •" , ' - • ... • S • , . • d4OW . ..^. i . , 1 ":1"r.1 -- .7..r.,'"' - " ••• - s. - i llp ill /,......,_ , .. .*.
