LONDON, FRIDAY,. MARCH 9.
Me. Dienazza made a 'peach lest night that mese
will, no doubt, mil balked, bet in which we meet
own that we saw *either eloquence nor truth. It
was a speech, amt addressed to parliament, nor yet
to de. country ; it was a speech concocted especially
far the Esneess. This honest elms has been Mirka
by the protectionist leader to come to him, to shut
their eyes and open their Months, and wee Woe Mr.
Dtssalui would sad them.
Were they pseud, they would have alma fide
samthe wide sough hit eight. For what the hen.'
member foe Baas bad prepared to thrust late them;
was nothing lees they an meow tax of Mesa penes
la the pound. And this was to gladden the heart'
and gelds the palate not only of the farmer, bat if
the towns and townsfolk, for which the made peee
famed the tenderest sympathies.
As to the farmer, he was strongly dissuaded heed
even petitioning for a repeal of the melt tax. He was
promised easels greater profit from the hoeuspon
changing the poor Me Into an income tax. As they
are, however, the land pays one-half of the income tax
in counties, nd wield still pay the other half of the
increase. How the farmer would have the benefit, or
what compensation there mould be fur their consent-
ing to bear the pennraieret burden el the malt tax, we
are at a lose to conceive.
Mr. DISRAELI edenlates the four geed items
local taxadoe, prices rate, musty rate, highwereete,
sad alma rote, at ten a ifikes ; to this he 'Meths land
tax, which he sells a raid rate, main* is all, twelve
millions. Mr. Datum would ease the leaded interest
of. me seat,. of this burden, throwing the six
Whims on the cowl dated feed. As the
conservative leader does cot utter ono word of redac-
tion of any expenditure whatever, and as he ad-
mitted the advisability of direct taxation, ho can only
Sallie the six millions from an additional income tax.
The land tax was laidpon lend far more gran a cen-
tury ego, se the equivalent foe a feedal burden, a
debt doe by every estate.. Mr. Dune= would
lighten the lea of this debt, es well as real property
of church Ake and. poor rates, to throw upon the
ttader and the,sa4st.. And this he styles sr manors
of justice maismaTiatien:
Mr. Disuses vett ovary large portion date two
horns and half whielehis speeshocamied in ledieteg

example fur lie , he could net have chosen

ing districts of a England, from which both

measure that ' mode his rang speech
to propose thre • madering stock is trade
liable. If Mr: n'Ttserate.Lfs argumeats led to
any oarimies, they led to that of a national rate.
But no—from *hi" the orator shrunk i he would still
preserve local eneehleery and local rates, levying ()w-
-het of the cM lead rates by the meassof the pro-
perty tax. Theinby, se We have dated, at ones raising
A to at lost fifteen penes in the potted.
Another, end mot the least &Miran, portion of the
hoe. mesiber's speech consisted of an analysis of
.national expenditure, from which he selected some few
items, which ho urged were not fairly chargeable
upon the country teatimes. Take the 100,W01. of
.the packet service for example. Hoer was the
Midland mended urn interested in West India
steamers ? We might answer, that the great NO
of these West India packets, and of all the mrll4
packets, proceeds teem the reipulatirer
must be war steamers. The equiresaport sexy'sad

should they not ply for it? Then, the fleet

A fairer divines for this fiscal consideration would
be that into Mt and poor, the idle and the indus-
trious. The wealthy may boast that they pay the
greater portion of direct taxation. But who does not
loam that the greet balk of oar expenditure is met by
indirect testifies, the burden of which falls a hundred-

Teo part of Mr. Bummed speech which we sta-
ble the mom is that primps as which he spent most
pain—his perorating. It was as hatefid as sophis-
tical He promised, at first, a measure of conciliatioa,
but he supported it at last by arguments of taunt,
moon and clan camparieen. He ated the
conteseicial interest as the proud and sr child
parliament. raised and endowed with privileges,
whilst dm leaded interest wee discontented and shorn
of its just rights. And all this combination
of calenay and hots beaus a protection invented
and introduced in 1815 'saint the advice of the
wisest osusenatives, wee atasegnal thirty years later,
when aelmowledgml to he West and incompatible

Such outages of simmps a wid pod feeling,

the more practical Weiss on thew side of the home
