DIVORCE RATE INCREASES.
Philadelphia Records One Suit for
Every Eleven Marriages.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 1.-For
every eleven marriage licenses issued in
this city during 1909 one suit for divorce
was filed.
This is not only an increase in the
number OF divorce suits, as COMPARED
with the year 1908, but is also a slight
increase in the percentage OF suits to
the number of marriages.
There were 1.101 suits instituted in
1909 as compared with 800 suits begun in
1908. The number of marriages for 1907
was 1856. or SCI more than in the
previous year.
The number OF divorce suits granted in
1909 was ia. Some of these had been
begun before the beginning of the year
In the general course OF court procedure
about % per cent of the suits filed are
granted.
These figures represent only a part Of
the domestic unhappiness which found its
way into the courts. In the desertion
court 1855 warrants were issued for the
arrest of husbands on charges OF deser-
ton and non-support.

ment be made on the rates set out by
the budget, OVerpayments will be re-
funded in case those rates do not receive
legislative sanction.
Similar action is taken by the income

rates or pay the new ones as they please.
with the understanding that they make
up a deficit or receive a rebate accord
ing to future legislation.
Thus business is going on by common
consent, In all of the branches of the
treasury without the slightest confusion.
and thus for no attempt has been made
by any one to disturb the situation. It Is
a remarkable illustration OF public con-
fidence, as well as patriotism.
Liberal Victory Expected.
Outside of strictly partisan circles 1t
is expected that the liberals will win.
Every chance Is in their favor, notwith-
standing the increase in taxation which
they proposed. There were many OBJ
jections to the budget, but they were
chiefly from the rich tax payers. who
were in the minority. The strongest
arguments that can be made against it
by that class will be likely to excite the
support of the working classes for the
additions to the death duties, the income
tax and the tax on land. These are
thoroughly approved, as Is usually the
case. by all people who are not COM
PEELED to pay them. Human nature Is the
same in the United Kingdom as 1t Is
everywhere else. Accumulated wealth..
the 'unearned increment and the
trade" as the liquor business Is polite
ly referred to, are the only interests that
suffer. Increased income taxes. increased
taxes upon legacies. a tax of 70 per cent
upon future Increases in the value Of
lands. taxes on automobiles. the pro-
ceeds of which are to be devoted ex-
ciusively to keeping up the roads: in
creased fees for liquor licenses and an adj

great majority Of the British voters have
no sympathy with the rich.

of the British government will be $780,

authority on the part of the people who
are voluntarily paying the taxes provided
by the budget which did not become a
law. This includes ten or eleven of the
most productive sources of revenue Of
the government. According to the in
visible constitution, If new budget fails
to pass or ceases to be operative for any
reason the old one automatically remains
in force, and now by their voluntary &C
ton the people of Great Britain have
adopted the same policy concerning taxa
ton. The compulsory collection Of taxes
was suddenly arrested by the defeat Of
the budget, but the necessities of the
state. which the proceeds were designed to
meet, are being supplied by the voluntary
act of the taxpayers, and in every de-
partment of the revenue business Is going
on just the same as before.
The board Of inland revenue, which is
the same as our internal revenue. has
suggested to bankers, coupon dealers,
stamp agents and others with whom 1t
has to deal that they continue to pur-
chase their stamps and obtain receipts
| for the money paid, which will be vouch-
| ers In any future settlement. The Gus
| toms and excise commissioners issued a
| circular giving notice that. until the house
| Of commons shall resolve otherwise the
payment of customs duties and exise taxes
will cease to be enforced, but persons taking
delivery of goods from the customhouses
or withdrawing liquors from government
storehouses without making deposit the
equivalent to the duty as increased by
the suspended budget will be liable in case
| the budget is ever passed. The commits
sioners, at the same time. give notice
that they are willing to receive deposits
! equivalent to the amount of duties which
will be repaid or readjusted in case par

Prices Increased.

This recommendation has been adopted
by the liquor trade. and both wholesale
and retail prices have been advanced to
correspond with the increase in the taxes
in the rejected budget. This seems to in
dictate an expectation on the part of the
mercantile community that the liberals
will recover control of the commons and
continue in power.

Advocating Protective Tariff.

The unionists propose new system of
indirect taxation for raising revenue.
which has been adopted by all civilized
nations except Great Britain. and has
proven successful in the development of
the industry and wealth of the United
States, Germany, France and every other
nation England alone persists In free
trade, and admits the products of other
countries to compete directly with the
products OF its own people in its home
market, and long this continues the
manufacturers and the labor employed by
them will he at the mercy of foreign COM
peIitors. The people OF England are asked
IL abandon the ancient policy of free
trade and adopt the modern system of
protective tariff thus defending their
home market and protecting their domes-
~ industries by imposing duties upon all
imported merchandise.
These are the principal issues of the
~ampaisn. and il is undoubtedly the most
important that has occurred in Great
Britain since the reform bill in 1882. II
the liberal party succeeds 1t is pledged to
home rule in Ireland; il the conservative
linionist party succeeds it is pledged to a
protective tariff like that Of the United
States.

AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY.

and that if hundred influential busi-

and the Confucian heather to the
