The proof Of Chancellor Of the Exche0uer
IS IN his Budget Mr.. Austen Chamberlain Is
the Chancellor Of the British Exchequer, and
his first Budget was yesterday presented to the
House Of Commons There is something more
TO be said about It Mr.. Austen Chamberlain is
the son Of Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain and was
made Chancellor Of the ExcheQuer in succession
to Sir Michael HIcks-Beach, when Sir Michael
was constrained to resign his place as a token
OF his dissent from Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain's
tariff reform policy. We may therefore regard
the present Chancellor as the official exponent
OF his fathers fiscal policy. and may look upon
his Budget not only as test Of his ability as
finance minister. but also rs part Of the Of
fetal propaganda OF tariff reform IN Great
Britain. The latter fact was emphasized by
Mr. Austen Chamberlain himself. when in his
speech he referred TO the waning Of British
prosperity and 10 the period Of industrial and
commercial depression which had come upon
the land. Nobody but a resolute and icono
elastic tariff refOrmer would venture thus to
speak To the orthodox Cobdenite, no mat
ter what tiresome statistics may show or starry
ing mobs Of the unemployed may suffer, Gods
Il, HIS Heaven! AIRS well with the world!' so
long as free trade prevails.
The first impression produced by Mr.. Austen
Chamberlaln's Budget is that Of change from
last year A year ago Sir Michael Hicks Beach
estimated the revenue (reckoning 81 at So at
S773.S500O0. expenditures at $72l.3j0O00, and
the consequent surplus at S52.500,0O0. Upon the
same basis Of taxation Mr. Austen Chamberlain
now estimates the revenue at only sG953O0000
the expenditures at STA. 100000. and the deficit
instead Of a surplus, at $40 100000. That means
reduction Of revenue Of S7S.350.00O, n reduc-
ton OF expenditures of $6.9j3OOO and a change
In balance OF S71,600OOO. Evidently, that lndi-
Gates a situation in which something radical
needs 10 be done. Wherefore the Chancellor
proposes to add two cents to the income tax
and four cents TO the tea tax, giving an addi-
tional revenue Of S20,OOOOO0 or enough TO cover
the threatened deficit and a little more. He
would also increase the tobacco tax, realize
something on unclaimed consols. and so provide
a surplus and avoid suspension OF the sinking
fund
These proposals. we are told. were received
with loud protests They were bound to be,

and they are bound to be fercely attacked by
the opposition II is not clear, however. upon
what ground the Liberals and Radicals can logl-
cally assan the Budget There is. OF course, no
hint Of protectionlsm in It. The income tax has
always been favorite device Of free traders for
raising revenue and they have waXed enthusl-
astic upon the advantages of laying tax upon
domestic thrift rather than upon foreign trade
The proposed increase will put that tax up TO
shilling in the pound, which is pretty high for
times OF peace. But from the Cobdenite point
Of view It should be better TO do that than to
tax iron and steel or wheat or meat. and thus
possibly afford q little protection to some Btu
ish industries. The increase IN the tea tax Will
raise that from l. TO 16 cents on the pound
Rut as tea is not raised in the British Isles,
that tax IS not at all protective, and therefore
should be acceptable to the free traders. The
same may be said of the proposals TO raise the
manufactured tobacco tax from 20 TO 81
cents on the pound, that on cigars from 81 % 10
81 80, and that on cigarettes from 10 cents 10
81 20. Why not? There is not a trace Of pro-
tectionism in these proposals Moreover the
Chancellor cannot be charged with extravaganza
in his estimate Of expenditures for he proposes
a retrenchment Of S26.OJOO00, bringing the total
10 q lower figure than for several years. As for
his refusal to suspend the sinking fund, there
can be no question that it Is perfectly sound
finance.
Looking at them from the point Of view OF
impartial and dislnterested outsiders, we can
not say that we altogether admire or approve
Mr. Austen Chamberlain's proposals We nave
our doubts whether he does himself 1t would
from our point Of view, be far better to reduce
the income tax, and impose tariff upon many
articles of import which now come in free, and
which come into competition with similar artl-
Giles of British production. But, Of course, any
such scheme would be rank heresy against the
pure faith OF Cobdenism- So long, therefore, as
Great Britain insists upon Cobdenite finance
we really do not see how ii can expect better
Budget than that which Mr. Austen Chamber
lain has devised 1t was a thankless task
which he had In hand, but so far as 1t was posi-
bic TO perform 1t he has performed it uncom-
monty we'll
