BRITISH BUDGET SHOWS
AN ENORMOUS DEFICIT.
Ak on Bread OF the English Worlxinsman Is Proposed
as Result-War in South Africa and China for
Three Years Has Cost $825,17O,OOO

London, April 16.-Thc exigencies of
the Boer war have compelled the Brit
'sh government to propose a tax on
grain and flour. Not since 1869 has
tax been laid on the bread of Brit
lsh workingman. The budget for the
hscal year 10000 was presented in the
house OF commons late Monday after
noon by the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach. 1t
proposes the following new taxes:
New Taxes Proposed.
Six cents on corn, wheat and other
grain.
len cents on -four and meal.
Two cent tax on dividend warrants.
Two cents added to stamp on checks
Two cents per five dollars added to
income tax.
On the other hand. the duty on sugar
stands as it is, and no increase is pro-
posed in the taxes on wine, beer, to-
oacco and tea. The export tax on coal,
imposed a year ago, is left untouched
Bitter Controversy.
The propose duties on grain and
flour will provoke 4 bitter political
controversy. The liberals are already
rallying around Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman and Sir William Vernon
Harconrt, both of whom denounce the
proposed taxes as the death blow to
the national principle of free trade.
War and the Balance Sheet.
off 7.
national balance sheet is shown by
the following figures, taken from the
budget:
The national debt now stands at
E747. 100000 ($a, 739,00O 1000 nearly
four times as large as the national
debt of the United States, less cash
in the treasury.
The British national debt increased
during the last fiscal year $4,000, 900
(S29O,OO0, 0OO).
The cost of the war in South A.
RIGA and in China for the three years
so far has been & 49,, 034,OOO \$s25 no.
0oO.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach estimates
that the ordinary expenditures of
the British government for the com
ing fiscal year will be E12o,159,oO
($645, 7o5.000). To this sum he adds
war charges aggregating G45,45o,o 900
($227.25O, O00).
This brings the total estimated ex-
penditure up to G174.6 100000 ($S73,-
045.oco), or sl2,o93.000 ($G4, 965. ooo)
less than for the last fiscal year.
Deficit of MISREPRESENTATION.
On the present basis the revenues
would yield e147,7s5,0oo ($73s, o25, ooo).
which, deducted from the estimated
expenditures of 100000 ($S73,-
$4,000, will leave n deficit of e26.-
$4,000 ($134, 100000. To this deficit
Sir Michael added the sum of e1s,-
100000 ($92, 50o,oO0) to cover the cost
of bringing home the army from

troops, for the maintenance of the
South African ssconstabulary and the
