THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, UK

Tbs Financial Reformers of Liverpool have
arrived at the logical conviction that the last-nsmsd
'nod* of raising the revenue is not only right in
itself. but ii so wholesome and good that no other
ought to be any longer endured. It is their oyster,
which they ant not content merely to recommend for
its intrinuc excehecee, bat which they are resolved
to force down the throat of everybody upon all occa-
sions, to the exclusion of less saline and nutritious
'mode. As for the many coloured oranges in the
shop over the way, with their various degrees o
squeezability and different kinds of juice, they
are one and all onto them as an abomination, and
they have vowed unto each other never to rest con-
tent until the said shop is absolutely and for ever
shut up, and its insidious contents banished for ever
from the sight of men. Mr. BRIGHT being asked to
take tea with the Financial Reformers, and having
to make a speech certain to be reported in the news-
papers on the occasion, seems to have bethought
kiln how be might please his somewhat intolerant
hearer,, and at the same time say what would not
be unpopular sat of doors. Direct taxation—yes,
he is decidedly in its favour as an antidote to the
present system, which throws the great bulk of the
harden upon the industrious classes, as we have
take. recent occasion to show. But the Member for
Binnieghem knows very well that I. a mixed com-
munity like oars any one principle pushed
to its utmost comequences, without any coffee-
eve or counteracting impulse, is sure to
provoke an amount of resistance fatal to its
fair operation. Capital and labour, property and
industry, are the two wheels on which our national
greatness rens; and were it possible to contrive a
system which would place all the weight open one
sad naught on the other, Mr. Batoirr knows well that
et the first sharp tura the whole comma would aw-
ake. What every wise and honest man wishes to ass
is a fair adjurtmeet of hardens, a fair balancing of
interests. Mr. Daiwa very truly and properly says
that an Income Tax deserves not to be retained under
any system. It is in fact an element of mere con-
inisa in the calculation between the two great
sommes of national revenue, for it charges alike the
meats of labour and the annual yield of mosey or
had—things which have in them nothing is common
bat their liability to be preyed upon by the flea
"alter*. A tax upon property is intelligible, sad a
tax upon expenditure is intelligible, and both, Ia ear
'judgment, are necessary and just, so there maid be
a reesassable equipoise established betwee• them;
bat aa indiscriminate tax on the fleeting and eased
Messrs of the artist, the lawyer, the skilled Mime,
sad the Duke, or the millionaire, is theoretically little
better than legalised plunder, and practleally the
meet unjust and unequal combination of all the
worst features of the direct and indirect systems.
Mr. BRIGHT had a Bill to reform. Parliament this
time last year, and this year be has brought forth •
Budget. He would hold Mr. GLAMOR/I to his
word, and make him abandon the booms Met
in IMO. He would likewise abolish the
defies on sugar and tea, and with them the
customs now charged on four hundred and thirty►
able subordinate articles of general sionsumptiews
making in all an amount of remission equal le
27,000,0001. To meet the deficiency so created, ba
world impose a tax of eight shillings per cent. apes
all realised property, whereby he would riles, as
calculates, 44,000,0001.; and the difference wadi
be made up is the out of collection saved, and the
increased profit of other taxes. A man who had
bought or built a home worth five hundred pomade
would thus pay annually forty shillings to the Nip-
pon of the State ; but he would pay no longer may
breakfast tax, or looms, tax, or tax to the form et
soltemsed pries on the various items that to a greater
se ism extant ease tato the most frugal expenditure.
The benefit to trade sad industry front every change
that is made in this direction must indeed be gnat,
and whomever a more popular spirit is infested late
Parliament, we may hope to see a gradual prelims
made towards the attainment of the equitable
balance Mr. BRIGHT demands. But we fear that
kis Budget, like his Reform Bill, is more likely to
meet with cheers in popular assemblages than to
obtain support in the shape of rotes in • tax-makiag
and tax-eating House of Commons.
