THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1860

So then—we ars saddled with a tenpenny Income
Tax, as Mr. GLADSTONE'S Budget threatened.
Thu country has to pay down within the year a
round sum of £10,000,000 to please the French
EMPEROR, and to enable him to carry out effectu-
ally his policy of aggrandisement. Freedom of
speech is at the same time deprecated by her
MAJESTY'S Ministers—for fear anything might per-
chance be said by honest plain-speaking men like
Mr. ROEBUCK or Mr. TIORSMAN— through a terror
lest words might be uttered by them that would
possibly give offence to his Imperial MAJESTY at
the Tuileries ! Besides, have we not already allowed
Mr. COBDEN, as our Peace at any Price agent-on-the-

sly, to sell us for all those wonderful advantages (all
prospective, by the way—at the end of eighteen
months—and then only to begin partially)—
have we not allowed the member for Rochdale,
dubbed years ago (prophetically) by Mr. CARLYLE,
" the Political Bagman"—have we not allowed Mr.
COBDEN to go over to Paris, and there, in
a confidential chat with the French EM-
PEROR, to huckster away our independence
of action, of speech, and of policy ? For the which
extraordinary privilege we had to yield up
21,000,000 in the shape of remitted duties, thereby
wantonly increasing our already enormous deficit !

Simultaneously with which wise proceedings we
baYe—because of our Imperial ally, and for no
other earthly reason—to expend £30,000,000 upon
the year in keeping up our naval and na:litary
armaments!

It is a time of Peace to us here in Europe. We
h ave no quarral with any European State, least of
all with our magnanimous ally on the other side of
th e Channel. Yet to enable the French EMPEROR
to carry out his wily policy of annexation.
to please his Imperial Majesty, we aro to pay a
wa r tax of £10,000,000 in this year of peace—
we are, in this year of peace, to expend
£3O, 000,000 in war expenditure—France doing no-
thin; g of the kind in the way of a similar
suieit Jai sacrifice upon the altar of friendship. So
muel i the reverse, indeed, that all France has to do
is to , accept unlimited supplies from us of coal and
n (very conveniently for the possible contingency
