oppressive, sod ought not to be tolerated by a free people;
sad that the country should be satisfied with tothlog less
this their total repeal. • petition was else adopted prey-
ing the repeat of the tax. The speakers especielly dwelt
oe the inquisitorial and unequal eaten of this tar; more
especially alluding to the unfairness of the commissioners
fa allowing inearasco on sea risks by policy as legitimate
deductions frays income tax,:sed refute; to allow averages.
Mr. Pow thought that the tes could not be avoided before
1860, bet he argued that the double tam laid on to meet the
requirements of the late war should be at oat" removed.
otherwise the esfaletry would be guilty of a breath of faith.
