unfortunate labourer than the conduct of subaltern autho-
rities, who, for the most part, treat him as the meanest
individual in the State. Relieve him, then, from the in-
fluence of the arbitrary exaction of contributions, and subject
their collection to uniform rules, which will operate in an
invariable manner ; for the labourer's uncertainty with regard
to the amount of contribution he is required to pay is the great
evil of his existence. Not only is he tortured with the injustice of
to-day, but he has to dread that which is reserved for him to-mor-
row. Let us get rid of this system at once and for ever. The
plain honest husbandman understands only the language of
deeds. " I paid," he says, "to the last Government thirty
pieces—to this I pay but 20. The present is therefore the
best Government." It is true a sudden diminution of the
charges of the State is a difficult undertaking, not however so
much so as some seek to represent it. The means we possess
for effecting it are not unknown to the present Finance Mi-
nister, and we are persuaded that in the existing crisis of the
public revenue, there is an absolute necessity for bringing
those means into operation with that discretion and caution
which existing circumstances demand ; because it will ever
consist with the principles of eternal justice that those who
possess some property should contribute more to the State
than those who possess little or none.—Eco del Comercio.
