ENGLISH INCOME TAX.
.om the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald.
 From 1853 down to the present time England has had an income tax ranging two pence in the pound to Is 4d The low rate was in the fiscal years 1S74-1S75 and 1S75-lS76 while the maximum was in the years 1S55-1S56 and 1S56-1S57 Tn the fis- cal year 1S56-1S57 the Is. 4d rate produced heloo,Ooo,- the largest sum collected until the fiscal year ls95-1S96, when on the eightpence a pound rate the amount pro- duced was the same as that on the 1s 4d. basis thirty-nine years earlier. From 1896 the receipts from this source steadily advanced until the fiscal year 1s99-190O produced f1S, 750,000 on an eightpence basis. Last year the rate was raised to one shilling and the amount produced to f26 6920,000.- It will be seen, therefore that a rate of one shilling in the last fiscal year brought in more than flo, 900, 900 more than was raised on a Is. 4d rate in 1s56- 1857. It should also be remembered that the chancellor of the excheouer has stated that the f26,s20.0O0 does not give a full measure of the amount of income tax that can be collected on a one-shilling basis, for there were large arrears from last year which will be included in this years receipts The chancellor's estimate on the new basis of Is. 2d. Is that there will be return of almost f34, ,O00, GOO a sum more than three times as great as that produced the last time the rate was figured on this basis, in the fiscal year lS54-1S55. This is an example of the in- crease in wealth for a period of less than fifty years. In 1s55-1S5e during the Cri- mean war, the rate was Is. 4d., bringing in fl5.o0O0oo. The new war rate will more than double that return, and it may be remembered that the chancellor said that the cost of>the war in South Africa and China was double that of the Crimean war If wealth has increased. so, too, have national expenditures.

Webster's Great Reply.

"As with foreign capital misnamed, so with foreign brains misjudged. All the school boys declaim from Webster s Great Reply to Hayne.' Never a syllable is allowed to show how and why Great Reply was needed to suit the occasion Of Hayne, no school book tells the truth, yet it was this young Senator, barely eli- gible by age to his seat, who compelled school boys once acclaimed Haynes speech, but not so now.
 What of Robert Y. Hayne? He was one of Andrew Jackson's distinguished young officers in the war of 1872. He was born in the 1ow-country' of South Car olina of most respectable percentage.
 Did Webster really answer Hayne?
 MT. Webster had cold. severe and im- pressiye countenance. He was calm, col lected and dignifed, everywhere and all occasions. He was a very great lawyer, and treated the 7faw-making province from the lawyers standpoint, and his treatment of all questions whatsoever was logical, wary, self-possessed and in the use of profound Knowledge of his sub ject He had a deep but not rich voice, he was not vehement but commanding. He did not overthrow MT. Hayne in the argument, but he did deliver a speech which, more than any other speech, turned the tide against the Jeffersonian theories that eliminated in the election of Lincoln and the other events of that period. He was one of the illustrious three. no greater in any age or land.
 "I have an extract from the Washing ton Telegraph, of January 2S, 1880, the time of the debate. The editor says: MT. Webster contended that the national gov ernment was established by the people who had imparted to it unlimited powers over the states and the constitution.
 "A Washington correspondent of .he Philadelphia Gazette thus describes Hayne: The face of MT. Hayne is con stantly in play, every varying emotion rushing to his countenance and Is there distinctly legible. MT. Webster has cer- tainly found southern rival who goes beyond him in all the external requisites of the orator and whose intellectual pow CTS are of an order to make him in every sense formidable rival in the public es- timation. l do not think MT. Hayne over threw MT. Webster. but, beyond all ques- ton, MT. Webster did not overthrow MT. Hayne.'
 Here we have intelligent and impar- tial opinion from the north.''

 FORCE HIM TO TRAVEL.

From the Albany Journal.
 Every President of the United States should be encouraged to make trip through the country early in his term, so that in time there would come into existence an unwritten law that the President must make such a trip, just as there is already an unwrltten law that he may not leave the country.

Robert V. Hayne, southerner.

The same man crops out today ane talks with enthralling interest:
 T learned when I was a child to take the side of Brutus against Caesar and no book so taught me. With advancing time, came to see that it was the Caesarian and not the Brutian tone of the age which Jesus. the Christ, assailed But we live in the Caesarian times restored.
 We shout to the flag and we find our high court of last resort trembling in doubt and halting in fear, upon the verge of its opportunity to decree that the law, graven in the destinies of the people, is superior to the emblem of the law, the flag Our Senators. most reverend, our President, most puissant, shout, The flag! from everlasting to everlastingr
 Our public school teachers are wont to teach that patriotism is transplanted exotic in Alabama coming out from the flag! Examples of patriotism come forth, not from this soil but from else where. Distance lends entertainment to the view, which we may take of patriotism" I have read 1t written down for truth to be taught pupils of Alabama public schools, that the birthday anniversaries of Franklin, Lincoln and Emerson @ should be carefully observed as inspira- tion to the hopes of those Alabama pupils and I am not here to gainsay the advice. Nor a word do raise in resistance, not one. I believe the illustrious trio were n nf oxyor ra1 1C theless. Yet Emerson wrote that the execution of that mad person of riot, John Brown, made the scaffold holy as the cross. Monstrous blasphemy!
 Coming back to the point, If patriot ism means any thing, the meaning is faith in the life of the locality. If chari- ty hath a meaning, the meaning Is In the heart of the one and not in the parapher- nalia of the multitude. Charity and pa triotism are convertible terms. when we arsto consider the abode thereof: to- gether, they abide at home and the man whose home is not satisfying to him, be- yond all other localities beneath the blue sky, has not patriotism, however loyal he be.
 we must learn to be little self-respect- ing. Here we are, shipping daily abroad, the products of our labor millions worth and when we discover the proceeds about to start back to us. To and behold we send up mighty yell of welcome to the foreign capital that Is brave and, above all, generous enough to come herel It is all ours. Without us 1t could never have been. Yet do we not shoddy to it. and toady to 1t and snob to 1t, as if the thing is gratuity to a benighted folk left alone to their own ignoble fate, relieved only to the extent of foreign capitalr
