EXPOSURE OF OUR TAXATION SYSTEM.
The Liverpool Financial Reform Association have
issued another report on the automat of taxation and the
sources whence it is drawn.
The assoeistbn Cal (says this document), however im-
portant such onalderationa undoubtedly ere, that they can-
not, in die present exposure of our taxation system, enter
=hankie into the Warms effects of indirect taxation on
the general °amen:* of the country and more especially
on the employmeat of masses. Such ea antlysis would
require a separate and lengthy treatise on alat•st
every individual tax, as msy be filsetrated by the
numerous pamphlets which have been put forth,
which have from time
and the various associations
to time been Waled for the elucidation and modification
or the entire repeal of suck saws as the window duties, the
malt tax, the tobacco duties, the tea duties, the wine duties,
he. The association, therefore, while they allude, in general
terms, to these injurious results of the systvm, are more
anxious to place promsnently before the petWe its effect on
the phydad mid social condition of the great balk of the
cosnessmity, Ilion especially on the industrious and labourteg
believing, as they do, that the great poetsl problem of
the day is, " How are the messes to la advanced in physical
comforts end moral elevation 1" The association have no
beeitatkin in answering, " By an entire Wings in the mote
of levying the taxes." Under the present system men pay
taxes for leave to live—not merely for the preservation of
their property, their liberty, and their persons, bat literally
for existence Well; as, if they while", or are unable to pay,
the penalty is death, or the dingging out of a wretched /s-
-igma on public charity, in public inetitations, somewhat In
their government akin to our gaols', And in their diet even
' Wow them, stanapiag poverty with the disgrace which
,
Weald attach alone to crime.
The association find, from parliamentary returns, that the
entire taxation of the country, for the year ended the 6th of
immary, 1847, was se follows : Oroes 'mown of income (No.
