cannot fail to insure the
of the most colossal and crushingpolitical inquities
of modern times. The provinces, as a matter of
course, will echo and re-echo in all
parts the denun-
ciations of the Income Tax with which Exeter-hall
will ring to-morrow ; and the inevitable
result
be, that before many days of the comingwill
session
have passed away—probably before the firssetiir
elapsed—we shall bear an announcement from
Ministerial lips, that a great modification of UT,
cruel impost will be forthwith made. But in order
that there may be no mistake on this point, and
with a view to let Ministers know betimes what
they have to expect from the people's "ignorant
impatience" of this tax, what could be more appro-
priate than that Major Reed, as Chairman of the
Association, should announce to-morrow that he
will, on the very first day of the session, give
notice of a resolution on an early day, in favour of
a revision of the Income Tax, should Ministers
themselves make no sign on the subject ? Such an
announcement from the gallant gentleman would
be received with such peals of applause as wets
never before heard within the
walls of Exeter-hall.
