TAXATION IN EUROPE.
The Italian is the Most Burdened
Subject in the Old World.

II has been said that when a man
is unhappily circumstanced he derives
a sort of grim satisfaction from the
knowledge that there Ia somewhere
another unfortunate whose case is
even worse than his own. II this al
legation be well founded the British
taxpayer, who has been fuming and
fretting recently on account of the in.
creased burdens placed upon him by
the budget, should feel greatly com.
forted when he learns that he is not
taxed anything like so heavily as other
Europeans.
Take the Italians, for example. Their
mare. An Italian pays away in taxes
22 per cent. of his earnings, com
pared with the Britlsher's 9.3. The
population of Italy is 100000 less
than that of Great Britain, and yet
hte income tax in the former country
is made to nroduce as much as in the
United Kingdom.
An even more striking comparison
is that between Russia and Italy. Rus
STA has a population of $4,000, 900;
Italy has only sO,00O,000, and yet the
total amount of the income tax Is the
same in both countries. Italy has q
debt of $500 100000, which is growing
at the rate Of s14,0O0,0o0 year. The
only way the Italians can escape the
taxation Is 10 emigrate, mad this they
are doing in considerable numbers.
France has G20.OOO,o00 more taxes
than Britain. Each inhabitant pays
lis. year more than anyone luck,
enough TO be living in the United
kingdom. Moreover, an Englishman'f
earnings are greater than those of {
Frenchman. The latter devotes 49,
per cent of his income to maintaining
his country.
The German Is much better OF tnai
his Gallo neighbor. He pays in take
nearly 80 shilling a year less, or onl,
104 per cent. of his earnings. An
other proof Of the prosperity of Grea
Britain is that, whereas each subjec
of the Fatherland contributes 6 /
year less to the revenue than an Enc
Iishman, he really parts with ] pc
cent. more of his wages.
Hollanders are more heavily taXeC
than Britishers. Substantial taxes are
imposed on such necessaries as sugar
salt soap and beef. The result is
that each resident in the country OF
canals must needs set aside 15.1 rel
cent Of his income to meet the re
quirements of the national expendl
ture.-London Mail.

OF success and happiness.
My engagement, though not en-

Burdens long borne alone were lifted
