being thus recorded, the Grand Vizier and the
Minister of Finance proceed with their scheme of
taxation for the future. The latter speaks with
the greater detail. It has not escaped him that Tur-
key is a country very lightly, and also very un-
equally, taxed. He proposes accordingly fresh etasses
of burdens, which may be accompanied by the remis-
sion of others that press more on a development of
the national resources. Among these the proposer!
tax on immovable property at Constantinople is to^
be adopted; and its incidence is to be so arranged
as to exclude the poorer classes from its operation,
and to begin with such a class as we should he
call the
class of ten-pounders. Again, the taxation of t
Mosque property, if not also its seem:-aisatio.n--:
which would in itself bring it within the reach of
existing territorial taxation, the Mosque propertyr
as such, being at present exempt from taxation by
law—is estimated to add a very large revenue.
The Mosque property. indeed, extends over fully a
third of the soil. Thirdly, the Minister announces
the introduction of an entire change in the syston,
of interior custom houses, which—like those of
Germany before the institution of the Zallvercin---
are operating as a check upon internal trade; ao6'
under the same heading, he proposes also to reovlse
indirect taxation. Fourthly, the cadastral wrks,.
begun with so much advantage in some
parts, ars
to be extended at once to the whole empire. Till
report is accompanied by the publication of the ne
budget in an official shape, and with results Le°
favourable to the Turkish treasury than were ill'
dicated in the hasty and inaccurate telegraphic
version which we published a few weeks ago.
will be remembered that the details, as given icsi
that version, did not tally with their totals ;
an
that, instead of a surplus, there bore the appear'
ante, on a close scrutiny, of a deficit. We observe+
however, that this enormous conclusion was du.°
wholly to the inaccuracy almost inevitably inel;
dental to the telegraphic communication of a gre,„o
variety of figures in detail, and that the surP7o
is larger than there was reason to anticipate. -1.
this official statement almost every source °s
revenue has its annotations as to the changed
which have been effected with regard to it, 911:1$
we shall hope to communicate some of these (let!'"
to the public in an early impression. It is 1111'
possible to deny that the present Sultan, durifig'
the two years and some months of his reign, hie
effected a vast change in the government of
empire, and especially in matters of finance. 1:
this short period he has restored public credit 14
cancelling the whole paper currency without Per
sonal loss to a single holder; he has nearly oE6°'
guished the floating debt; he has provided for tbffel
suppression of the baser coinage; he has paid °
local and anomalous debts at Galata, that had be e°,
contracted at very high rates ; he has consolidate:
the whole national debt of Turkey; and he 13,60
established regularity in the payment both of V'
public interest, and of the pay of the army, nsTY;
and civil service. Besides this, the sultan nas Ds,
subjected the public accounts to the same scrutie!
and afforded them the same publicity, as our ovisk;
and even in greater detail. He has also brong::,
the expenditure considerably within the revel3t;
and we sincerely believe that a few years of tßot,
policy will establish the Government of Turkey
as sound a basis as that of any other State of t
Continent.
