(Laughter. H. depriedid the secret mode of managing
politics. depend upon it that in politi-
cal mattes pahlll4 meetings and open dimensions
were the great Mitreds of truth, and concealment acid
mystery the pinata of hanglice. With regard to the con-
tinuance of the war 9d., he won no more in the secret than
Mr. Scrape, but he word my that the character of the
Chancellor of the Eschsrper fee kigh honour was such, that
he (Mr. Hemmen) did not believe he would take advantage
of ouch a peeWo.-g device, as was imagined by some
pe*, to prolong the Wire r= for another year. (Chine.)
He bad no hesitation in stades his conviction that the spirit
of the act of parliament would be adhered to, and that the
war tax would expire a year after the war was ended. Then
arose the question, what was to be done with the nsmsining
7d. P If they put an end to it, what wee to be sublitnted
foe ft P They would have to decide—time the principle
on which taxation was to be levied; and, mceeilly,
what was the best tax by which they could rani
the =emery revenues of the country. He had al-
ways understood that the beet and toot politic law
was that which embraced the three advantages of judos
in operation, productivences in amount, nnd facility of col-
lection. Now, did the income tax of 7d. in the pound full!
more than any other tax all those conditions? It it did, then
it might be continued ; if it did not, it ought to be abolished.
The general opinion of the meeting, as expressed in the reso-
Intione, was that it did not. hut let them remember that
the tax had been laid on very calmly and deliberately. If it
was really a blister on their bathe they must remember that
they placed it there themselves, and it would be well to eon-
eider whether it was &thimble to tear it off hastily. They
might by busty judgment place themselves in the position of
the old couple who desired of a genie three wishes, which
were promised. The old man immediately exclaimed
that he should like a dish of blnek puddings,
and instantly the padding, were on the table; the old
woman, armed at her husbands folly, wished they were
stack cm the ad of his mac, and there they immediately
deed themselves, se that ft woo necessary to exercise the
third with in the &dm to have them removed. They might,
wish the Meow tax was sunk at the bottom of the
lag• let when they feud the operation of indirect taxation
tadseressieg presperety, they would be glad to send one of
thdr home tax ociendmioners in a diving-bell to fish it up
spin. They bed to choose between the continuance of the
direct income-tax and a return to the system of indirect taxa-
tion which midst before Sir H. Peel unposed the income-tax
in 1842. He bed not heard any one say lie would like to ge
back to indirect taxation imposed on the consumption of the
general necesearim of life. The tudinet taxi. 1111 the &tert-
iaries of life fell chiefly on the poorer classes of societ, while
the income tax fell on the commercial, trading, and manu-
facturing chyme
Mr. HOLLoWAY—No, it is principally paid by then con-
sumer. of commoditiee
Mr. Hemmers contended that it was paid directly by the
commercial, manufacturing, and trading community, and
that the adoption of the eyetem of indirect moueor would
involve a return to elms legis' lation, which bed been co mule
condemned. Therefore be would say, let tittle consider well
what they were doing. There was, no doubt, • great dal of
rettename in the whole system of financial economy,
but let them not hestily commit thene-elvea to anything
which might give them Callao to repent of the step hereafter.
The best principle of Mention want that each man should be
taxed, not according to his propery, but weeding to hie
means, apportioning the taxation equally among all duxes,
mob gladly and cheerfully plying his there of the burthene
of the government of a country which, considering its popu-
lation--comiidering the variety of its intenets, and the diffi-
culties of its government—was one which gem its people
more freedom, more happiness., more content, and more sym-
pathy among all classes, than any government under the
sun. Mr. Horamm ant alluded to the original exemption
from the tax of incomes under 1501. per annum. Ilia
exemption was band by Sir Ilulart Peel, not on
principle but on policy, and on a fact which
could not' be denied—viz., the difficulty of collating the tax
on imam. descending lower in the scale, the coot of collec-
tion, independent of the irritetion exagemlend, being mare
than the tax was worth. On them grounds he (Mr. Here-
man) thought Sir Robert Peers ezemptoon of ineemee ender
1501. very wise and politic. In conclusion he mid rigid ece-
navy in every department of the government mud be in-
sisted on. They ought also to prepare themselves for another
thing—fie, a general revision of the whole taxation of the
country. His opinion was that in a %ley few yeszs one of
the great questions which would forte itself upon Parliament
would be a general revision of the whole system of taxation
of die country.
