Tho Country Is In a Perilous State or
Poverty.

Italy is at the present moment In
state Of poverty. The public debt,
which In the last few years has been
Increased by three milliards, is now
reckoned at fifteen millards. Cabinets
have succeeded cabinets, and the peo-
ole have hoped against hope that the
burden would be lightened, but no
measures of relief have been forth
coming.
The first Crispi imposed more than
one hundred millions of taxes and IN
Cured eight hundred millions OF debts.
The Di Rudini cabinet imposed n1ty
millions of new taxes, and incurred
three or four hundred millions of debts.
The Giolltti cabinet further Increased
the taxes by seventy millions, ana ran
I'D six or seven hundred millions OK
debts. while the last Crispi cablhet
proposed one hundred and ten lhllllohS
of new taxes, and was even preparing
to ask for forty or fifty millions more
without taking into account the crealtS
and the loan for the African campaign
Every cabinet has been guilty OF Tue
fault Of not knowing how to abstain
from mad expenditure or how to limit
the budgets to the resources OF the
country. The fault is, however, not
to be laid exclusively to the charge OF
the various ministries; it is above all
the fault of the people themselves. EV-
cry time administrative reforms nave
been mooted, which should reduce the
cost Of administration, the country mas
rebelled. The system of making deduc
tions on the taxes in Italy is very defec-
tive. and 1t may be safely affirmed that
two-thirds of those who should De
taxed do not pay at all, while the third
which does pay comprises the poor
who cannot hide their slender resources
from the tax collector In Italy. more
over, there is the curious phenomenon
of the poorest district paying thr1ce us
much as the richest. This Is the OH
gin of the ever-increasing misery ana
popular and widespread discomfort
ment, which finds its vent in sedlton
and brigandage.
