THE GOVERNMENT DEFEATED,
LONDON, June 9.--In the House Of
Commons last night the Hon. Hugh
Childres, chancellor of the Excheuuer
announced that the Government had
decided not torefund to the tax PAYERS
the amount of increase in duties on
spirits paid over and above the extra
shilling per gallon formerly decided on,
because consumers had been charged
higher rates after the announcement OF
the original increase. The government
would, however, cause inquiry TO be
made to ascertain il thero existed suffi.
clent reason TO modify this decision.
MR.. GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
Alter long debate on the new spirit
tax, Sir Stafford Northcote and several
others having spoken in opposition, Mr..
Gladstone arose to reply. He thought
that the opposition were creating prec
edent which they would regret when
they came into power again. The pre-
vtous reduction of wine duties had n
beneficial effect in preventing adultera-
ton and increasing the trade many
millions annually. IL would be most
imp0litic to increase the wine duty un-
less under the most extreme pressure.
The government was compelled to raise
money In view of the impending dan.
ger to the empire, danger which even
now he was unable to say had passed
away. The opposition cavilled at the
mode OF raising the money without
suggesting an alternative. Tea would
require an additional tax of 8 pence per
pound 10 produce the same amount,
thus raising the duty 75 per cent. on an

had to choose between alcoholic liduors
and tea and sugar. They would accent
the issue on the vote as one of life or
death, and did not envy those who, ii
they gained a victory, would have to
bear the consequences.
Mr.. Gladstone's remarks were re-
ceived with prolonged cheers.
THE GOVERNMENT DEPEATED-suE MES

second reading OF the budget, II being
