A REDUCTION.

Under the pressure of the Boer war
expenses the British policy of fr .e
trade was departed from and a duty
was placed upon grain and -four. This
policy called forth a great deal OF Cr!-
Ticism. at the time, and The criticism
has been kept up throughout the year.
In putting forward his budget for the
coming year, the present Chancellor of
the EXchequer, Mr.. Ritchia, has return
ed to the cid British traditions, and will
abolish the duties on grain.
The remission will reduce the revenue
by $40, 100000 for the current fiscal year.
The chancellor has also taken off four
pence in the pound off the income tax,
which latter is great boon to a
large section of the population. Upon
the existing basis, before the reductions
were made, the estimated income was
$773 $4,000 and the estimated eXpendi-
ture $7l9,77O,OOO which left an avail
able surplus Of $54,OSO,OOO. The remis-
sion of the grain duties and the reduc-
ton of the income tax just about use
up this surplus.
The interest account of Great Britain
is very heavy one, and forms a large
part of the expenditure. The total
amount of interest paid by Great
Britain during the last fiscal period
was sos, 532 600 or s2.68 per capita reck-

United States paid out $291OS,O 600 for
