The manner. IN which the Minister'S have sneak
ell out OF the War Nialt Tax is very curious, aud
clearly discovers their conviction, that the landlords
are not TO be triled with They say, that, seeing
that the rich had refused to pa- the Income Tax,
they thought II rig I, that this Malt Tax should be
gwen up TO the f50r. The shaiowncss of all this
set OF noi0nshas been ssewn o hundred times over.
