With regard to Commissions, it is sufficient to say that
none have been issued which have not been approved of
by the leading men of all parties in Parliament, and
which-have not collected a vast mass of the most valuable
information, which could not have been otherwise ob-
tained. The appointment of Mr. Frankland Lewis, a
political opponent, to the most important of all the
Commissionerships created by the Whigs, viz., the
Chief Poor-law Commissionership, is a sufficient a::swer
to the imputation of having jobbed their patronage.
We have dwelt more at length than we should have
otherwise done upon these facts, because it is most im-
portant that the cause of the present deficiency of the
revenue should be distinctly understood. The increased
expenditure has arisen solely and entirely from the ne-
cessity of addinif to our naval and military establish-
ments—a necessity which has been admitted to the ful-
lest extent by the Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, and
every man of note on the Tory side, who have even
gone further, and repeatedly made it a subject of charge
against the Government that they did not spend money
enough.
The diminution of the revenue is attributable to two
causes :-
Ist. That the Whigs have relieved the country from
an annual burden of taxation to the amount of 7,000,0001.
and nvards.
2d. That the pernicious effect of monopoly cramps
trade, and impedes the developement of the industry and
resources of the country.
