Mr. Heathfield, the author of a Plan for the
KLiiqnguiddtion of the Publicoarn,whiehlvasady Debt the

rtiooTnri:°f!'a That great benefit would accrue to the
country from the adoption of the plan of Mr.
Hcathfield, or some similar one, will not admit
of a moment's doubt ; and there can be as little
doubt that a virtuous and determined Ministry
could, if so inclined, give effect to it, notwith-
standing the seeming difficulty with which it is
beset. Mr. Ricardo (Principles of Pol. Econ.
and Taxation, 3(1 edit. p. 287) observes, that
" A country which has accumulated a large debt
is placed in a most artificial situation. . . .
. . . It becomes the interest of every con-
tributor to withdraw his shoulder from thc bur-
then, and to shift this payment from himself to
another ; and the temptation to remove himself
and his capital to another country, where he
will be exempted from such burthens, becomes
at last irresistible, and overcomes the natural
reluctance which every man feels to quit the
place of his With, and the scene of his early asso-
ciations. A country which has involved itself
in the difficultic.s attending this artificial system
would act wisely by f:nsoming itself from them,
at the sacrifice of any prtion of its property
which might be necessary to :edcein its debt.
That which is wise in an individual, Lc: wise also
in a nation. A man who has 10,000/. i;.Qving
him an income of 500/., out of which he has to
pay 100/. per annum towards the interest
of the debt, is really worth only 8,0001., and
would be equally licit whether he continued to
pay 1001. per annum, or at once, and for only
once, sacrificed 2,0001. But where, it is asked,
would be the purchaser of the property which he
must sell to obtain this 2,000/. ? The answer
is plain—the national creditor, who is to receive!
this 2,0001., will want an investment for his
money, and will be disposed either to lend it to
the landholder or manufacturer, or to purchase •
from them a part of the property of which they
have to dispose. To such a payment the stock-
holders themselves would largely contribute,
The scheme has been often recommended, but
we have, I fear, neither wisdom enough nor vir-
tue enough to recommend it." Mr. Heathfield
has more faith, it would appear, in the wisdom
and virtue of the influential people of this coun-
try ; for, not discouraged by the fate of his former
propositions, he comes now forward with un-
shaken confidence.

" It is certain (says Mr. IL) that taxes on con-
sumption do in f►ct fall with accumulated force on
most descriptions of property ; and that provided
the income derived from property be expended
within the United Kingdom, the effect to the pro-
prietor of such taxes is aggravated to an extreme
degree. Firstly, the amount
.of any given tax, levied
through the medium of the importer or manufac-
turer, must be paid by the customer, together with
a considerable addition to each of the successive
dealers, through whose hands the commodity passes
for the advance of capital and the risks incident to
trade."
The following is Mr. Heathfield's plan :
" The mode by which the burthen of the public
debt, as it bears upon property, may be reduced
and equalised in its pressure, in order to effect the
relief desired, must be considered in connection with
the increase of the labouring classes, both in agricul-
ture and manufactures, beyond the demand for em-
ployment. These are evils distinct in kind; they
require to be considered separately ; but in order to
procure effectual relief to the proprietory and com-
munity generally, the cause of each must be removed.
" The reduction and equalization of the pressure
of the public debt upon property will first be con-
sidered. For this purpose it is proposed as fol-
lows :

" That the Legislative repeal of annual duties, to
the amount of thirty-one millions, be declaAd, viz.
" In respect of the Interest on part
of the Debt—...—
" Sinking Fund to be discontinued 3,000,000
" Reduction of Government Pay
and Pensions, and lower Prices of
Stores for the Public Service 3,000,000

£31,000,000

" That at the same time every description of pro-
perty in the United Kingdom be assessed in the
proportion of one-fifth of its value.
" That all Government Stock, not held by fo-
reigners residing out of the kingdom, be reduced in
the same proportion.
" That all Home Appointments in and under the
Government, and Government Pay and Pensions
generally, be reduced in the same proportion.

" Taking the Public Debt at 800,000,0001., and
deducting one-fifth, or 160,000,000/., for the pro-
posed assessment of one-fifth, 640,000,000/. re-
main. The assessment of one•fifth to be charged
on the private property of 2,800,000,000/. would
amount to 560,000,0001.; which assessment would
be applicable either in principal or interest, accord.
ing to circumstances, to the debt of 640 millions
remaining as above mentioned, leaving the sum of
80 millions for the annuities for terms of years, or to
be liquidated by other and gradual means."
Mr. Heathfield considers in detail the mode in
which the various classes of possessors of pro-
perty would be affected. With respect to Go-
vernment annuitants and proprietors free from
mortgage, there would be l►ttle difficulty, as the
apparent deduction from their incomes would be
more than compensated for by the increased
command they would have of the comforts of
life. In the case of a proprietor under mort-
gage, he observes, " the mortgagee would pay
the annual interest on the assessment in the pro-
portion of the mortgage to the whole property ;
but the benefit to the property from the increase
of value which it would acquire from the minis-
sion of duties, would result to the proprietor or
mortgagor ; and provided the mortgagee expend
the mortgage interest at home, he also would be
benefited in the same manner as the Govern-
ment annuitant; a diminished income in pounds
sterling would give more command over the com-
forts of life. Both mortgagor and mortgagee are
benefited."—He considers also, the cases of
farmers, merchants, &c. So much for that part
of Mr. Heathfield's pamphlet which has re-
ference to his payment of the debt, which
we are confident might be realised with great
benefit to the country. What he says with re-
spect to the poor is not less deserving of at-
tention :

" The state of this population (he says) and the
remedy to be proposed to meet, and for the future
prevent, the incalculable evils incident to an excess
of numbers in the labouring classes, especially in
the manufacturing class, are now to be considered.
" The lower classes of society, without any ques-
tion, participate severely in the effects of a high
revenue system; but their sufferings from that
cause are to be considered chiefly as a consequence
of the direct and indirect effect of that system upon
the classes above them. The distresses of the
lower orders proceed principally from competition
for employment, arising from an excess of numbers.
If the demand for labour exceeded the supply, the
labourer would command a compensation for his
labour adequate to his support, whatever might be
