The INCOME TAX: DEBATE ON "WEDNESDAY N,o,r.
The leading tories maintain a sullen silence
The Premier is, evidently, afraid of his own col

gus task OF encouniering the Opposition. The de-
cations of the effects which pro,racted di-cuss;on NJ
the measure will produce on his own party within
the House OF Commons. The Herald, one of the
organs OF the right hon. baronet's Government. thus
speaks OF olnlnous symptoms of dislike to the mea-

kthe ranks Of his supporters 80" There was from be.

not produced by actual property. There must be inj.s-

levied but he did not intend to propose any nodi6ca-
to take the responsibility Of a change which, in remsv.
log one inequality, might create others. His own
course therefore, must be to vote not for modify ing, but
for wholly rejecting a measure so unequal and 80 unfit
for any circumstances except those of The greatest ext
gsneyy; Such an %exigency did not now exist. It would

CLOSE OF SIR ROBERT PErL's SPEECH ON prvx-

niude Of the crisis which we witness. or TO increase
encompassed but IL ia impossible to deny that the period
in which our lot and the lot Of our fathers have been
cas-that period which has elapsed since the first out-
break Of the French Revolution-is one Of the most me-
morable periods in the history Of the world and the
course which we pnrsued during that period will attract

ration Of posteri,y. loud cheering) II may be divided
into two periods Of almost equal importance. First, Is
years Of continued conflict, the most momentous that

sacrifices which we made for years in maintaining the
contest that precededit Cheers There will yet be q
