Financial Reform, embracing the remission of those burdens
which press upon industry, and the substitution of an equi-
tably adjusted scheme of direct taxation, in which Property
should be made to bear its fair proportion, is imperatively
demanded at the hands of the Government, the present mode
of raising the Public Revenue by means of Customs and
Excise Duties being unjust in principle, limiting, as it does,
the comfort and subsistence of the People. and lessening their
employment, and, as a consequence, materially retarding the
progressive wealth of the country."

as far as practicable, of these imposts, which are inimical to the

To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and

" Showeth,—That your rentioners, oeing extensively
engaged in Trade and Commerce, have seen with much appre-

National Income, until, at length, a large deficiency exists in
the Public Revenue.
That your Petitioners have seen, With still greater alarm,

emergency alike discreditable `to the country and injurious.
to all the pursuits of industry, none of which can flourish

Taxation is greater than the industry of the country can sup-
port, and, if continued, must tend to impoverish the nation.
" Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly beg that your
Honourable House will at once .adopt the necessary measures
to reduce the Expenditure within the Income of the country;
and, by a large measure of Financial Reform, relieve industry

from its present burdens, and cast upon property its fair pro-
portion-of the public charges, a measure which, to effect these
objects fully, ought to include the application of the Probate
and Legacy Duties to real property. the levying of tlie Stamp

centage throughout, or the substitution, as far as possible, of
direct for indirect taxation.

" Gentlemen In justice to you I think I ought to tell you
that your BAL COLUMBIA has entirely restored my hair,
which, from a long residence in the West Indies, and illness
there, was nearly all gone before I began to use it. I have no
objection to your making use of my name in any way as re-
gards the sale of your BALM9f COLUMBIA. I think it a duty

OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to
grow, prevents the Hair from turning grey, and the first
application causes it to curl beautifully, frees
.it from
scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of Cer-
tificates of the first respectability are shown by the Pro-
prietors, C. and A. OLDRIDGE, 1, Wellington-street,
