SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES. —Mr. Gladstone may fairly claim to have
won a victory last night. Reform was laid aside for
the evening, and the House of Commons was asked
instead to discuss a difficult question of finance.
The National Debt Bill, embodying the. proposition
contained in the Budget of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer for the conversion of part of the public
debt into terminable annuities, came ou for a second
reading. Mr. Disraeli was, of course, the sponsor
for the bill, but, as he confessed when he introduced
his budget, the real author of the scheme was Mr.
Gladstone. The late Chancellor of the Exchequer,
following up previous attempts of his own,made the
suggestion last year,which Mr. bisraeli, under hap-
pier auspices, is enabled to adopt and carry out this
session. The idea of applying part of the surplus
towards the reduction of the National Debt, and the
machinery for carrying out the idea, are alike due to
Mr. Gladstone, and when the measure now before
Parliament was opposed as ie was last night he
naturally came forward in its defence. The House
of Commons, by a large majority, supported the
second reading of the bill, and Parliament, as well
as the Ministry, have thus approved the plan first
recommended by the leader of the Opposition.
The precise form of the amendment before the
House of Commons was a resolution affirming the
propriety

strictly confined to the question whether it was de-
sirable to attempt the reduction of the National
Debt at all, and, if so, whether the scheme embodied
in the bill was a proper method of effecting its re-
duction. It cannot be said that the arguments
were all on one side. It may, in truth, be acknow-
ledged that the overwhelming majority in favourof
the bill-162 to 38—was a tribute to Mr. Glad-
stone's authority, rather than a p' oof of conviction
following upon his reasoning. Mr. Laing was the
foremost champion in opposition to the schemes of
redemption, and some branches of his argument
were left untouched by Mr. Gladstone's spirited re-
ply. If was easy to reply to Mr. Laing's charge
that the Tlans of reducing the National Debt, of
which we have heard so much in the last two years,
were " new-tangled. schemes devised by way of
doing something " sensational," in imitation of the
United States. The reduction of our permanent
burdens has been an object with every Chancellor of
the Exchequer from the time of Mr. Pitt down-
wards, sometimes pursued with more zeal than dis-
cretion, but never lost sight of and never aban-
doned. The employment of terminable annuities
as a means of reducing the debt has been sanctioned
by an equal concatenation of authority. Mr. Laing's
charge of novelty was entirely groundless, and he
only weakened his case by allowing precedent to be
cited in what might have been restricted to a bare-
discussion of principles. The simple question whe-
ther it is desirable to pay off any part of the Na-

tional Debt was slurred over by Mr. Gladst one, as it
was at a later stage of the diocus.sion by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. It is plain that there is
no obligation of honesty or even of honour requir-
ing us to pay off any of it. The nation is bound
to make certain yearly payments to its creditors,
but there is no obligation of any kind to redeem
these annual payments. If it be fitto redeem them,
it-must be from considerations affecting present and
future generations of taxpayers, and having no re-
ference to the creditors of the nation. The question
of redemption is thus a matter of policy, and must
he determined by a comparison of the effects which
the alternative course of remitting taxation and
paying off debt produce. If. we suppose the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to have a. surplus of a mil-
lion and to apply it in remission of taxation, .the
taxpayers are relieved hi= a.portion of their in-
voluntary expenditure. Mr. .Laing, borrowing
Lord Sydenhana's. phrase, says the surplus " fruc-
tifies" ,in their pockets. It would do so were
the sum.thus saved from involuntary expenditure
accumulated •or invested in some undertaking,
but if the remission of taxation becomes merely
