INCREASE of REVENUE BY REDUCING
TAxEs.-Sir Robert Peel, in his speech
to the electors of Famworth, last July.
stated, that since the year l64l taxes had
been repealed to the amount Of eight
million pounds sterling, and that. not
withstanding this, the revenue Of 1916,
not counting the new tax on income, was
larger by a million Of pounds than that
Of Is IL. This is most astonishing stale
nent, and yet we are compelled to believe
il. The government Of Great Britain
have gone on from year to year reducing
taxes, and on vast number of articles
abolishing them altogether; yet all the
while the revenue has been growing upon
their hands. But the income revenue is
q small matter compared with the increas-
ed comfort and prosperity Of the people.
Strange that any statesman, after this.
should hesitate to adopt this liberal system
Strange that England has been able, not
only to endure and survive her centuries
OF bad government, but to grow rich in
spite of It. There is an amount Of taxes
repealed greater than was ever imposed
upon this nation, and yet the terri BILE

has not been diminished, nor the intoI.
