ties, which heretofore were prohibited entirely. Con-
nectcut export onions enough 10 manufacture tears
for all Enslaadl A New York paper says "
"Ths presents the great anticipation which is going
on and trade already Seemed to feel some animation:
The reduction ofImport duiieS and The imposition ofd
rect taxes is indeed bold stroke in England. lof
course encounters fierce opposton, especially from
those who enjoy incomes which are taxable. By this
tax every man will contribute according TO his means
to the support ofthe State. Thus the Bank Of England
would be taxed $4,000 per anum, for its income de-
rived from the dead weight and termnable annutes.
In the same proportion, every person who receives
salary or yearly ncome will pay "a tax. This tax,
will no doubt be more than made up 10 them by the
reduced price OF commodities, and the increased activity
Of trade caused by remission ofimport duties"
