IL is their way OF doing things. England pays no
soldiers pensions 90 speak of. and salaries are
lower than they are here. Then, at tho be.
ginning OF each year the minister's, who hold their
places by keeping q majority in Parliament behind
them. get together and decide how much they need
TO build their fourteen ships, 80. Except in the
matter OF land, tho Incidence OF taxation n prob.
ably moro even than here. Having decided what
they need. the Ministers decide on the way TO raise
it-by an increase OF the income tax, which every.
body pays except the poorest; by an increase here,
another there. There are no protective duties,
what duties there are being purely revenue. 80
there 10 no fear of putting on too high . duty. Then
many things are taxed In England that aren't taxed
here; checks aud coats.of.arms ana carriages and
maie servants. &C. Then having decided how TO
raise the nee essary money, the Ministers ask Par
Lament 70 pass the necessary laws: and ~ the laws
are passed AMI the money raised. Besides this, It is
ground into every Engiishman's mind that the navy
must not be stinted; that It must have all that it
asks for. even IL something else has to give way.

That 10, the American born son VI q British subject,
II brought up In this country, was not necessarily

law: but. he might make himself such subject by
claiming the protection OF Great Britain. 2. See
