LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4.

Mawr or indirect taxatios—this will be the great
qurrel, not merely of theories and pobWi goose-
Late, in the ensuing year, but of pareat, at the
sentry, sod of all the parties is both. The question
dashers, indeed, for the present. Parties have sot
yet made up their minds precisely se to tbe tactics
they are to pursue ; and until they aqui effort eat
be made to agitate the people one way at the other.
It might be hoped, indeed, that Finasele Associations
would take it up, and largely inferno the public on
those points; but they, too, having spat their fire
somewhat prematurely, seem tr went freshness and
enrage for the task.
Two great aids and causes first carried the measure
of a renewed income tax—en existing deficit and the
satiority of Sir ROBSET Prat,. It is sow admitted
that no statesman save himself weld have carried
sack a measure, and even he dant sot, or seed net
lave ventured it, bad a surplus bees in exist-
ones. In the place of Sir Boom? PEEL we
now have Sir QUALM WOOD, and betted of the
whigs sinking ander a deficit, we fled thee floating
upon an excess of something like three millions and
a heti. Toe repealed and modified deism an bricks
and stamps may somewhat diminish this amount.
Bat clear it is, on the very lace et the balance-
'best, that the Mumma/as or WS BicHaseiss
cannot come forward to plead in Arms peoperis for
the renewal of the income-tax.
It must therefore be taken into account, that the
Whig rnini.try will be weak epos the question. The
liberals will amens support the schwas of direct
taxation, provided it be laid upon fair prinoiples.
which at present it is not. But the two fractions of
conservatism will infallibly make ass of it to serve
the Interests of party, and will either yield to minis.
ten for a compensation of some kind or another, or
will unite to make the question a gambling block for
overthrowing the government altogether. It may net
salsa easy for the disciples of Pin, and for those
who propose to raise the principal proportion of the
revenue by au import duty on all commodities, to
some together in each a vote. But we know fell
well that nothing is impossible where the paramount
laterite' of party &maid it.
Now, what we want to impress upon oar Teem is
this, that pekes the public awakens to the nbleet, be.
manes alert upon it, and fixes certain principle, en
which to have national taxation, a gaieties, which is
the very corner-stone of the fiscal ediflos,
will be laid and settled in the ensuing
mai" before the public are rightly aware
of it, and before they can exercise any jest infiessoe;
and this will be *enlist purely by the selfish Wrig-
gles and interests of party. If any one were to in-
quire at present what part Mr. law:mons, Mr.
Dissent, or Sir !um Ottawa would take oa the
great question of the isms' tax, we will be bomulto
any they would get so eatifactory 'sewer. It is
thereon incumbent cc the *pis not to remain the
mere plaything et parliamentary manceevree, bat to
have a mamionsases and a will in questions so vital
to thew
Ise the present state of parties, and in the present
state of intents, it evidently will be invariable for
ideates to raise for any purpose the per outage of
the income tax. The previous failure of each an
attempt will deter any repetition of it. And yet it
is plain that we are euffetiog all the inconvenience
and inquisitorial burdens of direct taxation, without
the advantages that ought to accrue from it, the relief
from what is most onerous is the customs and excise.
Obliged to steer between the two opinions, the Omer-
ciLtos of the EXCIUQuEIt will probably seek to
render the present rate more signally profitable. An
extension of the tax to Ireland is but fair, and such
• proposal cannot well be avoided, although the doing
so will raise a certain compact number of votes, gene-
rally cwasidered as liberal ones, spinet the smears
altogether. Its extension to the class of
incomes ranging from 601. to 1501., cannot but
attract the tee tion of the minister. Such an ex-
tension would triple the number of pe sons paying
income tax, and would probably doable the amount
of income subject to the tax. If li pat cent. in lien
of three were levied on all incomes between 501. and
1601., the tax would be little telt, whilst the result
would be probably an addition of three millions
sterling to Monomial,.
Ia this, however, is implicated the very large quo-
ties of the taxatioa of blooms on the muse Neale with
est of property, as injustice which all admit, though
se few will bestir themselves to remove. The as
jest is perhaps more complicated than it is at first
sight seasidered,aadmay.prove difficult of settlement,
was is case the principle of cspitaliaisg life interest
&wed be allowed. The committee which sat ea the

bete taxin Frinee, and wttieh set est with the In:

Swan set levying fist per cent. npla property, and
two pee emu. epos income, completely failed, from
lbe amber ef oases in which they wen unable to
iietlagsieh between them. The differences, too,
between the several kinds of life-income are perhaps
as grim, u the difference between realised property
sad more become. A life interest in a landed estate,
kr example, se in any other property, not descending
to children, comes somewhat into the same category
with proteesioul earnings. Yet would it be thought
right, that rest shield escape taxation, when it is
limited to a life, and ism it on a contrary supposi-
tion P Then, hew different I. the cam of a person m-
aiming a fixed esiery bon en astablignient or em-
ployer, and the professional man who collects his
guns from a multitude P Tax the one, and he makes
kis employer pay the tax. Whitt with the other
this is inviolable. Bat diflionitiee in the
way of reforming a wring cannot constitute that
wrongs right. And the idea of taxing rents,
profits, and wages, in the same way and by the same
stale, is on the fug of it too absurd and unjust to be
tolerated but for a time, or excused by anything
ether than ignorance.
The subject, however, is ens of vast ramification
and great importance. Nor could too many minds
and pens be applied Wit in the pigment resew.
