"The Ale at 6d. when untaxed will be 2d."

By WILLIAM RAY SMEE,
"This is a masterly pamphlet, and come f from a writer
Whose political and financial knowledge is well established.
. . Mr. Smee proves that 6d. ale would, if untaxed, become
2d. ale."—Press. "In this pamphlet she writer pre entst a
plan for the repeal of the malt tax without rtducing the
public revenue, and he proves by imiontestable demonstra-
tion that the pr.ce of ale would thus be much reduced to the
corhumer. . . The details are lucidly set forth, and they
are well worthy of attentive consideration."—Observer.
"Mr. Smee has written a pleasant enough pamphlet, full of
information, not only on the tax itselt and its history, bat
many incidental points connected with the brewing of ale."
"We commend his laborious and well-argued
pamphlet to the consideration of all interested in a qutstion
of great national importance."—Sun. "An able pamphlet."
