That duty (the right hon. freedman proceeded t i urge) had
been oestlemeed by the House of Commons, and it was
besides a bad mid mailable duty. The capability of expan-
sion of the lade la paper was immeeae. The duty would be
abelhhal from Lt July 'lila year. It was proposed to
abolish the impressed stamp es aesrepapare. Those - were
all the remissions it wee proposed to make. As

Hoesany to makes portal remission of the duty, which will

An argument is that the tendency of this treaty is to

sider that though there may Le • ogee doting which
some of these relaxations may canes some dissatisfaction in
this comitry or in Frame, they will gradually and wisely
improve those tensity relations which are advantageous to
both countries, and that the interchange of productions and
atanufertares of each other will establish • bond of orlon
%mime them, which it sill be difficult to sever. (Hear.)
But as to whetter the rejection of the treaty will produce
any dieturbence of the keenly relations between the two
countries, why the hoe. gentleman is quite as capable of
judging as any member of the government, but that there
has been any threat or intention expressed the part of

the thoroughness, and the solidity of the substance.
'lt was net Up epeselt of a booty theorist, a fanciful
pedant, er a formalist bureaucrat. It affected no
dainty ignoramus of the vulgar flesh-and-blood world
I eat of doors, no superb isolation from the common
atmosphere of public talk and popular instinct. Mr,
GLADYrosis advanced as any of his fellow-country-
men might do to confront the objections to the
Treaty which were raised before the terms of the
Treaty were known. He defended it on all grounds,
whether fiscal, industrial, commercial, or political,
as a great opportunity for wise and beneficial states-
manship to aid the cause of peace and civilisation.
He defended it from secret and avowed antagonists ;
from Protectionists disguised as Free-traders, and
from interested opponents who called themselves
without exception Free-traders ;" "not," he added,
" Free-traders without exception." He defended it
from the charge of relieving the luxuries of the rich
at the cost of the comforts of the poor by de-
claring that beneficent legislation consists not in
taking a penny or twopence off tea and
sugar, but rather in striking the fetters from
industry and expanding the field of labour. Another
characteristic of this memorable Budget is its de-
termined fairness and striking honesty of purpose.
Liberal in the highest and broadest sense, it disdains
to pander to powerful prejudices, or to cater for
popularity at the expense of public utility
and public justice. It is, in a word, a
Budget of principles, not of expedients; bold
without rashness, tentative yet not fantastic, confi.
dent yet cautious ; decisive as an onward movement
but sound in its calculations and safe in its results
Such is Mr. GLADSTONE'S Budget of 1860 as a
whole; we have time enough to examine its details.

Tax interval that has been given for the consider
ration of Mr. GLADSTONE'S Budget, before its details
are discussed in Parliament, will not be found
greater than its importance is a whole deserves.
For good or for ill it is undoubtedly a great measure
—as a measure of fiscal change, the greatest that
has been proposed sinoe the second tariff reform of
the late Sir ROBERT FEEL. In • certain sense it
may be said to be a supplementary measure to that
of 1845. In the fifteen years that have intervened a
good many things have been done in the right
direction; but no attempt has been made to grapple
►t once and on system with so vast a variety
of interests, or to open at once so many new
outlets to industrial skill and enterprise.
Customs and Excise duties to the extent of
well nigh Four Millions are swept away ; and in
their stead new taxes upon property and income,
either directly or indirectly, are imposed to no
greater extent than about one-fourth of that sum.
Mr. GLADSTONE broadly laid down at starting the
proposition that, as in the present year Long Annui-
ties to the amount of two millions would expire, the
productive energies of the country, which had so
long patiently borne this burden, ought to be en-
sured the benefit of their cessation. In a similar
spirit he argued that when, for reasons of inter-
national policy, we resolved to forego the revenue,
or • considerable part of it, arising from foreign
spirits aid wines, it would not be just to leave all
the advantage of these cheapened luxuries to
be reaped by the wealthier classes of society.
Accordingly he proposes a new system of licenses
for the sal* of those articles by confectioners, eating-
house keepers, &c., at a reasonable coat, without the
interposition of Magisterial control or caprice. A
heavy blow and great discouragement is thus dealt
at one of the most oppressive mechanisms of mo-
nopoly known in this country. And so throughout
the varied catalogue of changes enumerated in the
course of his four hours' speech—all are referable
to an earnest and thoughtful desire "to lighten the
" springs of industry," and to further the develop-
ment of new ways of creative toil and the more
equal dissemination among all ranks of the com-
munity of the comforts and benefits of civilised life.
It may, perhaps, be said that the Ministerial
Budget is not one, at first blush, framed to please
the predominant humour of the Rouse of Commons.
But, on rthection, this very characteristic will prove

its strength rather than it; weakaese. It appeals--
over the heads of shabby-souled oligarchs and
captious class legislators—;o the people in whose
name they sit and vote. It addresses the pockets
and the brains of the constituencies, and leaves the
foolish and the factious among the representative
body to settle the matter between them as they can.
In the manufacturing districts there will, of course,
be nothing to settle. Both by the new tariff and
the new Treaty with France they will be benefited
substantially. Though thirty per cent. be still
kept up on the other side of the Channel as
a differential charge on English fabrics, the com-
petitive skill of our countrymen will cheerfully
enter the lists, waiving at the same time every rem-
nant of countervailing protection that exists on our
aide of the sea. In the mining districts there is
naturally nothing but exultation at the prospect of
a great additional market being freely opened for
the produce of their industry. And if the shipping
ports feel some disappointment at the continuance of
,invidious tonnage and harbour dues upon their ves-
sels entering French ports, while no such diecrimi-
&sting charges are levied on French ships in ours,
they will at all events be consoled with the reduc-
tion of the timber duties which have hitherto acted
as a premium upon building and repairing Teasels
abroad, and by the general impetus given to com-
merce by the abolition of manifold restrictions on
the interchange of commodities of bulk and value.
Taking a more comprehensive view of the soope
and beating of Mr. GLADSTONE'S proposed remis-
sions, we recognise in several important particulars
solid and unmistakeable advantages to the great
body of the people. All the surviving taxes on
articles of food or clothing are absolutely brought
to an end. The duty on foreign hope is to be
lowered to the level of the excise levied on the same
at home. For another year the present charges
upon tea, coffee, and sugar are to remain ; but hence-
forth the thrifty housewife will pay nothing what-
ever to the tax-gatherer on the cheese, butter, dried
fruit, spice, &c., which are consumed by her
family. Meanwhile it is to be hoped that
the abolition of so many articles subject
to duty will enable Government to dispense with a
certain number of functionaries whose maintenance
is now a dead weight on the productive power of the
&Ate. On this point indeed we do not profess to be
over sanguine. We know too well the devices and
excuses that are ever ready to keep up the rank and
file of established departments ; arid we believe that
the watchful vigilance of the public press and of
Parliament will be needed to garner in the crop of
savings which in this respect Mr. GLADSTONE has
sown. The COANCILLOR of the EXCHEQUER has
done his part, however; and it only remains for n.
to do ours.

Without re-imposing the Income and Property
Tax, the revenue for the current year is estimated at
60,000,0001. The outgoings are calculated at not
leas than 70,000,0001. To meet this deficiency we
are asked to pay tenpenoe in the pound on all incomes
above 1501. a year, and sevenpence in the pound on
all incomes between 1001. and 1601. There are few
who will not hear this demand with certain feelings
of dissatisfaction ; but there are, perhaps, still fewer

to whom it will occasion any degree of disappoint-
ment. So long as we are compelled to maintain enor-
mous defensive armaments nobody seriously expects
to see an abrogation of the tax on incomes. It is
true that some six years ago, before the development
of the military spirit in the resuscitated Napoleonic
Empire, Mr. GLADSTONE indulged himself and nv
with tropes of its discontinuance about this time.
But the Russian war and the Italian war
have been since then ; and the state of
Europe at the present hour forMds alt Idea 'of
permanent or immediate disarming. This is em-
phatically the opinion, at all events, of our propertied
classes. Their sentiments and wishes are especially
represented in the two Houses of Legislature. They
cannot with any show of patriotism or of prudence,
therefore, object to pay, when every man in the
community, down to the clerk, or poorer curate,
at 1001. a year, is likewise obliged to share the
burden.

outburst of popular feeling which shall at one de.
etroy the budget, sad put an end to the minim/old
career of its authors. Th. l'reas rays :—" Many of Mr.
Gladotone's measures are unexceptionable, and are inch as
