The resolution now before the House simply expresses
that IN the event OF it's passing, the inhabited house duty
shall henceorth be levied on more numerous class OF
dwellings than heretofore. So, at least, the right hon.
orsble himself describes II when he says only
ask you TO agree 10 this. that the OF direct taxation
should be extended" This is not question OF princi.
Pile, but simply whether Parliament will give the present
Chancellor OF the Exchequer that which he asks for viz
greater number OF houses to be taxed

habled houses. and other inhabited houses be-
sides the particular inhabited house duty named in the
resolution before the House.
That duty is q tax upon rental upon item OF per
sonal expenditure, and expressly in proportion 10 that
expenditure. The question OF direct taxation, therefore,
and the question OF The area of direct axasn are much
larger than possibly be staked this resolution
We repeat, all that the House will give refuse TO Mr.
Dlsraeli will be greater teiher OF house tax II will
not commit itself against giving him greater teiher OF
income tax II will not restrict itself from giving with
perfect consistency the power of lsvyag ten per cent
house tax TO any other gentleman besides Mr.. Dlsrae
to Sir Charles Wood for example, or Mr. Goulburn II
will only give refuse to Mr. Dlsraeli the new houses
he asks for.
We no principle, no great question OF finance, at
stake the impending VOTE We see nothing more than
view certain revision OF taxation; and that Parlia
ment having regard 10 the men who make the request to
the whole OF their avowed Intentions 10 the wishes OF
the people, and the circumstances OF the times, simply
grants or refuses what is asked.
