THE BRITISH BUDGET OUTLOOK.

Current forecasts OF the forthcoming British
Budget present striking contrast TO most cur
rent news. II is true that the expected deficit
OF nearly SI6J. 100000 has dwindIed to So. co.,.
coo or less. which may well be changed into
surplus by the disappearance of special war
expenditures. But there are the record break
ing appropriations for army and navy, the huge
loan to the TransvaaI and the outright gift to
the Beers, and now the proposal TO redeem and
endow ireland. For some tine the outlook for
the British taxpayer has been regarded as IN
commonly bad, and this week consols have
fallen below 80. In the face of such circum-
stances there seems to be almost touch Of
Tapleyikm in the prediction that the Chancellor
Of the ExcheQuer will announce considerable
reduction in taxation. Mr.. Ritchle is DaTticu-
l2riy capable man Of affairs, but he is not
magician.
That there will be some reduction of taxation,
however. is probable, and that fact does not
predicate supernatural powers Of the Finance
Minister. With the ending Of war, war taxes
are usually reduced, and there seems 70 be no
reason why those Of the United Kingdom should
not now be reduced to the extent of perhaps
&400OoO0o or 100000 1t Is pretty safe to
Say that such reduction will not be made, how
ever, by the abolition of the tax on grain.
That is one of the least burlensome Of aI Brit
ssh taxes. Il has not by 80 much as the small
est fraction OF G farthiLs increased the cost OF
the JseopIe's food and It has produced a very
handsome revenue. 1t has, moreover been col
fected easily and cheaply. In fact, it seems al
most an ideal tax to everybody bat the academic
Cobdenite, who would far rather see dear bread
under free trade than cheap bread under a
tariff. But the political economist OF that
erhool does not now rule the United Kingdom.
What is altogether probable is that the reduc-
t4or of taxation will be chiefly in The income
tax II ought TO be entirely in it. That burden
some tax is now levied at higher rate than
ever before In forty years. Such tax is
l,urIensolae upon the people, and 1t Is also det'
r,,;yesrtaI TO the treasury, AZ the present low
T,rt % of consoAs attests. For. giving all due
T-e;gbt 10 other causes which have contributed
"a \ lowering OF that price, we Must regnrd the
abnormal income tax as being the chief rae
