ZINC English Death Duties.

Americans who are grumbling over
the prospect of having to pay a two per
cent. income tax will not derive much
consolation from an article in the
North American Review for March, by
Lord Playfair, on the new succession
tax in England. Lord Playfair says:
A tax of less than ETA, 900, 900 on re-
allied wealth is like a tiny drop of wa
ter taken out of a large bucket on the
point Of a needle, for it is absolutely
insignificant in proportion to the huge
accumulated wealth of the nation.
In proportion to the annual increase
of capital it is also a trifing abstrac-
ton.
This is what Lord Playfair has to say
about the graduated death duties pro-
posed by Sir William Harcourt's budget
as chancellor Of the exchequer. These
duties are in addition to the income
tax. On an estate as large as that Of
jay Gould they would amount to 9
per cent, or more than six millions OF
dollars.
The American income tax is a mod.
crate one.-N. Y. World.
