In the House Of Commons, Mr.. Gladstone
rose to make the budget statement and was
loudly cheered. He said the gross revenue
for the past financial year was e34 041 900,
which showed the considerable increase of
81 ,341 900 over the estimate, but million
of this amount did not arise from the Incl
dents of taxation. The total increase from
taxation was 9378 900.
Mr.. Gladstone proposes to somewhat
ameliorste the brewers license in favor of
private brewers, and reduce the duty on
foreign beer about Is. Id. This puts
1t about on an equality with Eng
lish beer, and also to augment the
duty on imported spruce beer. He said the
expenditure last year was esq, ,106 900, which
was 9714,000 less than the estimate. The
surplus of revenue over expenditures
now arrived, he said, for proposing the con-
version of short annuities into longer annui-
ties with view to the reduction of the
debt. He proposed to pay off sixty millions
in twenty five years. Mr.. Gladstone esti-
mates the expenditures for the
year just commenced at e64, zoe, 900
and the revenues at 985, $3.50 900,
which would leave surplus of 91 1856, 900.
He proposes to take penny off the income
tax and to apply small sum to the con-
struction of barracks. These measures,
he said, will consume the whole surplus,
and leave an estimated deficit of 9275.
1t is to be noted that the extra penny of
the income tax, which is to be remitted,
produced last year 81, 100000.
Mr.. Gladstone proposes annually to
reduce the duty on silver plate
by three pence per ounce until the
whole duty of eighteen pence shall entirely
disappear, this duty has been considered as
great grievance by the silversmiths, )and to
replace the variable duty on different kinds
of foreign spirits by one of four pence
on each gallon of standard spirits of all
kinds, He expects that this will produce
an increased revenue of 91SO,000. He
proposed various changes in the probate,
legacy and succession duties, but nothing
of very sweeping nature. He said the
anomaly existing in connection with this
subject could only be grappled with when
the law OF inheritance was dealt with.
Mr.. Gladstone concluded by stating that
the final result of all the changes he pro-
posed would be, for the year just COM
menced, an estimated surplus of 4295, ,000.
After a short discussion on Mr.. Glad
stones statement, resolutionsl forming
the foundation of the bills to give effect to

Sir VIM. Harcourt, replying to question,
said the prosecution of Herr Most, of the

ton. Indictment to murder, he said, is a
serious crime by or against Whomsoever it
is committed.
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to question by
Mr.. Bourke, Conservative, formerly Under
