The resources and 'the of the Country will, I have - no doubt, keep Vice with every emergency ; they' are 'satisfied, we have reast.n to know, with the system 'of raising a large part of the Supplies within, the year ; and they are impressed with the convietionoh A t i no drifioes are toff great. to preserve and-perpetu ate: the blessings they enjoy.

To that opinion, generally,iteldinsell ; but - ise begged at'the same time, - in irgrebing to the'Btidget of this d a y, to re serve hi s jtilfinelit'as to the tiMe'and Manner, the amount, and probWlei . consequenees otany engagements that may be ' e ntered 'icito with Continental PoWera. There i , ta*in this rei t Pi.,o, one circumstanc e altogether new ilie Vote of 'Ways and Wins now piopo'sed... die 1461 arid regular mode the House would have deiderl •oti the pioitoiety of the applicati on b e f ure it would hare' voted' themoney for the service, and that in cotiforniny'with the:aettled •constitutional maxim, that the Ways and Means should not exceed' the Supply. If 'there had nut been some particular reason fur bringing forward the whole ofthe Ways and Means at an early period, he conceived that course would have been rather in the present . instance. He, thought it necessary, therefore, in agreeing to the Resolutions, to guard against any persona being misled. If it should oh a focure day become a question, whether five millions of money .shoold be expended in the way of Subsidy, it may be said, that the manner of applying that sum may be.. come matter of question, but that the ability of the Country to afford it could not be questioned, as it had been voted. He, for one, begged leave not to be, pledged to'rhat either, though he now agreed to the vote, because he was not aware that any in. convenience would result from it ; and if on a future occasion he should objed, to. the time and manner of applying it, to have his opinion wholly free 'as to the amount also, and the mariner ofapplying, it. , dared to :say it' was intended , that this freedom should remain wholly unaffected by' the vote; but lest there should he any :misunderstandin g , .he ex. pressiv reserved, it. Having said thus, much, he would also , remark, that he considered some of the proposed 'Taxes eitrersiely objettionable:-- Firat,,that on noises, particulatly those employed, for agricultural purposes : if the 'Honhurable Gen. tleman inquired • more , particularly,,, he would fiod, that the Tax an this head,- even as it stood ,present, ,was felt as a considerable ,Helaz , ked Upon the Tax on Salt also as objeCtiori. able ; hut as the propriety of that would be discuas. ed totcrwards, her . would not enter into i t . Th ere was another, the ionSiderat!onof Which he was sorry to be obliged to enter into,, because his refleetions upon it .led to a result very different from that which occurred to the sanguine, view of the Hon. Geritlemari. The Hon. Gentleman had laid down, that War Taxes, unleis vexatious in their amotinti were wise - . and in his ge nera l v ie w o f the . W.: arm cages of these Taxeshe was extremely sanguine.--- He, . differed from him. Except ' that on Salt, there Was hardy one of them which, in a general sense, could be considered as. of general consump. tion. If a criterion was to be sought of, how far .a Country was capable of beari ng a ddi t i ona l hurthe ns , consumption was the only one which,- iMposed limits on 'itself ; for when .they became excessive in amount the diminution of,the consump. tion checked' their produce, and canceled the error. When there was a diminution of only . t,200,6601. on a revenue of thirty millions, he did niatiConsider it alarming if it did'not increase arid continue. But when a not to that amo u nt existed, and . it was ventured to make any further addition, he did . think there was some ground rot apprehending that our Taxes tan corisumpaon had reached the limit . after, wbufli they could not be rendered mo r e p ro . dative. Another point on which he had some ob. servation' to Make,was, the addition to theYroperty Tax. He was extremely sorry for this addition. For, though it was not large + there was thiirmialcartunt attending It, that it sfiewed the may to loon- in. c:r ; that it established a precedent for resum ing the augmentation; and that: when cOn'sninlition, the legislative means of raising revenue, failedi,,the familiar use of,thia,sorr of proceeding, woold give a santlion to take the property of the in ) ,:sll'a'ieVer "way it may lit thought fit, and Wherever it May- be found. When the liMits which con. somption could not exceed should have arrived, it Would be held fair to double this Tax,- to triple it, or to extend it to whatever amount, so as to take the' ProPerty:of the Subjeei without any limit what. &Geyer. He had alsoian objeetion to this Tax, that though it was less unequal than the Income Tax, it was still very. unequal. Landed property:my!, property in the Funds contributedfitirly. But . the other descriptions' of property, such as arose from 'commerce arid intitistry, did nor pay in any 'propor. "don., If that was so, he .ere fled for the extreme injustice of going on inereaoieg this ,I;ax,. If a Pro perty" Tax were allowable, even in time of war, it would be only on the ground of its being regular and moderate. If thislvai"to continue many years, and constimption,' so far as yielding a .tevenuel 'to be at_ an end, it was likely. the .Property,Tax: would be considered as a land tax, and those other.....*xes that are voted annually as ' matters o f course. 'lie did not suppose this crisis was near ; God forbid it were. Hi was far from thinking we were far advanced towards it as 0111CIS,. ,WllO were more apprehensive, but still he could not, help thinking we were going the dired wad towar*ls we could not go on the old Way, we. would go and take the 'propetty of the SubjedWherever we Could find it, and if the profits were not sufficient for 'our purpose we would seize the principal, He wished, therefore, that some other Tax . had been pubstituied which would h a ve yield e d as , muds, tie had never approved of this Tax, nor of the principle on whibbit was founded; and he thought that should be . set.to it which should not be exceeded. He was net satisfied With this addition. If it were doubled he should be 'more dissatisfied ; bui if it should be still further increased, he would think the Country hadno security whatsoever in the pro. perty of ,the, Subject. He did' think the other Taxecalso exceptionable,.particularly.tlnit on Salt, and be hoped that others who were more conversant with the several subjefts than he, was., would ex, plain the operation of .the. Taxes more f u lly, a s h e suspe4ted they would fall extremely heavy, The' ellelNc6iLLo4 of the EXCHQUER agreed in the sense which the Hon. Gentleinail laid dawn' of the vote which he asked of the . House. No man'was'eOnside re d as pl e d ge d t o the Subsidy. When the whole subject should be before the Mouse,. the time, the` circumstances, theamount, -and ~the probable benefit to the Country, would be open to its full and fair judgment;. It was thought proper, for many reaooris,, to bring fot Ward the Ways and Means at an early period of the year, and to include in thein'the amount of the Subsidyot hiclt could eot be so well provided for subsequentlyor separately. A late Loan would have been more inconvenient and less advaniageoui. The interests acentstolatitig on the.Stoeki would have destroyed the aced of the. Sinking Fund.' The're were other re,nris a:so for ',tingi n g forward, before late in•the year, the dis. tints points to which the Hon. Gender/nos nail first adverted; When the day should come on which the point of the Subsidy would be to be discussed, the lion. Gentleman and every other Member would be as free as ever. He had further to say, that there was no informality in, the course now proposed..— The Ways and Means proposed would not exceed our own necessary occasions above e,000,0001,.... Thus, he, was not only careful to preserve the free. • dom of opinion on all parts of the question of Sub. sidy, but to prevent all objetlion even in, point of form. For if the House should not be of optnioo to ' allow the Subsidy, the five midions designed fur that would remain to be a p p li e d to nom Services, With respea to the 'l'axes, the Honourable - G:title_ man'wished to reserve the More particul3t. ai on till the Bills shoUld be. before the !I ,use ; but, even in the present instance, he larnefiltd that 'the Taxis proposed should be — so much dit tet, and ' 4O little -, on consumption. These Taxes would out, • however, fall so directly on the general prosperity of the .Caoatry. The Salt Tait; ae the Hon. Gentle. man allowed., fell direaly on consumption., The Horse,Tax fell. al use and luxury, and in ,another reipeet. on what formed a par t 'of the itner3l nroS,. peritY. ,The Pestle also bore on the incro4st, wealth, and was one among many dther instances of the flourhbing state of our resources. Thu's', it ap. peered, that eleven.. • millions of the Ways and Means of every description was raised" on use an d consurni;tien.' The War Taxes . of 149 t which were all on consmnption, bad rodaeed eight millions ; and taking the whole view of the War, there' never Was a period at which they could be expeded to he less prodnetive. It therefore this produced such an amount ar such a time, without' shy inconvenience, the result' confirmed, his more sanguine expettatiO rather than the 'more appre. berme* one of the Hon. Gentleman. A Tax on Property was of all others the most econonije, and that which those writers, ton the subjedi, whose authority was most respeeted, had described as difficult, to render available, rather than as an unjust subject nfßevenue. The great Revenacwhich bad been derived fram it here, WAS 4 proof at once of the spirit of the people, of the facility of availing ourselves of our ReSAlfeeS, and of tha Wealth and Prosperity upon which these Resources _ . refl. But the Hon. Gentleman nonceive4 that the advantage did incliac pellOnS exercising COM* name and industry, and that a larger proilortion of property was exempt an personal iliac on real, i t may be so in same degree, but it was not so attoge. then arid that the contribution had been brought so near equality, was aground of approbation. Agit) th• degree of exactitude, or approach to it, that was not in the, power of any one to ascertain.— Whether the Tax was on the whole moderate and justifiable, was to be ascertained and determined by .circumotances, the lame as in a Horse. Tax, or any other. The disproportion between landed property and commercial property' was not, ho‘i;ever, such as the Hon. Gentleman supposed. Frain the more particular and more stria deseription of property in the returns, under the late Ad, it had been dis. covered that a touch larger portion of the property of the Country cunsioteti in land than was imagined , . .
