The Chancellor rose at 4.18 p. m., amidst rounds at cheers. and com- menced his statement. His opening enhance was not promising. "During the last five years," said the Chancel- lor, "we have hm n invariably able to congratulate the Home on a general Urea“: In the prosperity of the country, but tho sear 1900, especially the last six months. showed symp- tom of a Manure. Our foreign trade during the your considerably in- creased. but in salute rather than in volume." This had been mainly de- rived from the high price of certain articles. notably coal. which natur- ally must have injured important in- dustries. especially railways. Revenue Exceeded Estimates. Nevertheless, the revenue for the past your had shown no signs ot de- oreasc, and the Exchequer receipts qhowod a surplus of £3,865,000 over the eellmates. lie was bound to say, however, that the excess had been due to roretrtalmvnt on dutiable ar- ticles. But tor this his estimates would have been barely realized. Much could be said for and against lorestal- lent, but it was an unmitigated mils.. ance to financial statisticians. The roreota1ments of 1899-1000 amount- ed to £3,230,000. which properly be- longed to the revenue of the hurt year. The torcetalmomt of the past year somewhat exceeded the previous year. He would say that the consum- ing power br the people was main- tained, but there was no material evi- dence. of the expansion at that power beyond what was fairly attributable to increase of population. Some Decrease of Revenue. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach then Pro- recded to review the various Items of revenue. mentioning that the revenue lrom beer was S16yl0,0o0 less than tho estimate. " That decrease," said tho Chancellor of the. Exchequer, “is probably attributable to the [not that very many liver tlrlukers are in South Africa, and also to the in- crease in the spending power of the people, owing to the high price of ' Experience has shown that We have practically reached the limit in the profltattlo ta\ation of spirits. The receipts from the death duties were. St,tioo,o00 below those of the pre- vious year. but he had better expec- tations for next year. The prolonga- tion of the war and the absence of business on the stock exchange Were responsible tor the unsatisfac- tory yield from stumps. In noting that the yield trom the income tax was £1.150.000 above the estimate. tho Chancellor of the Exchequer re- marked that in twelve years the income on whieh taxation was paid had been increased by no less than '1'2o.000,ooo, n fact that he hoped the House would remember when he reached a later part ot his speech. m only other plume of tho revenues which he needed to touch upon were the exceptional receipts owing to the mint, to silver coinage and to the. telegraph receipts. which compared zery nnlavorahl) with the expendi~ are.

"How is this deficit to be met?" asked Sir Michael. "I will never be responsible for the fatal policy of paying the whole. cost of the war out of the loans. without putting a reasonable amount on the taxpayers of the day. The. real dif- ficulty, however, is not so much the cost of the war in South Africa as the operations in China, as they will increase our ordinary expenditure even if the war comes to an end within three or four months (this statement caused cheering from the Irish members). or sooner than the honorahle members suppose. Our or. dinary expenditure would not per- mit of tho remittance of the addi- tionnl taxation proposed for war purposes last year. It therefore be- comes necessary to put our expendi- ture on broader bases. The New Taxes. “The country has reached a point when it is necessary to widen the scope of taxation. but direct tax- payers must bmir their share of the burden. I propose thut two pence shall ho added totlm income tax, making one shilling und two pence in tho pound. The extra two pence will realize £3,800,000. There will be no addition to the beer, wine, ten, spirits or tobacco duties. i am not disposed to impose a customs duty on manufactured imported goods. as suggested by Sir Howard Vincent. The average consumption of sugar is " pounds per head. sugar is taxed in every other com- munity in Europe, and is taxed in the United States. in this country taxes remained on sugar long after the institution of free trade. What I propose is not a protective duty but an adequate public necessity has arisen for Home duty of which the laboring classes should hear a fair share. iuting basis it was nslimuted that the rovnnue would' be L'ttp2.25G,0WJ, leaving a detieit of ubou‘: £55,000,- its (-omparod with his continental tival. The refiner of beet sugar must not he favored as against the refiner of (-nnesugar. or vice versu. I propose a duty on refilled sugar of four shillings and twopence a hun~ drmlwoight. A half penny per pound would be four shillings and eight pom-e. so a margin of six pence is left to rover the customs, handling. why a tax of four shillings and two pence should increase the retail price more than " half penny per pound. The Scale of the Sugar Tax. " The granlwtted scale of taxation will be as follows: Refined sugar. which is polarized at 98 and up- wards, and which represents two- thirds of tho total imports. would pay the full tax. Thitg will diminish to a minimum of two shillings per hundrmlwnight on may sugar polar- ized at TO. This scale is only tenta- tive. and I am perfectly willing to listen to criticism and the benefit of experience and better knowledge. Molasses. in which are included the grocery syrups “insumed largely by the poor, will pay two shillings per hundredwnight, and glucose, of which a great deal has been heard lately, and which is used in the new ufacture of jams and aerated waters, will have to bear a tax of one shilling and eight pence. I anticipate a yield of 515.100000 from this tax. The West Indies will not be exempt. Export Duty on Coat. "My next proposal is a novel one, unknown in this country for 45 years. it is an export duty of a shilling, a ton on coal. In aiming to secure a revenue from com 1 am not sacri~ ficing trade. The imposition of a shilling. which is infinitely leis than the fluctuations in price. will do no "The "trertt of my proposal on the price of sum); is doubtful. and tin- prico of sugar is gowrnod by tlw bounty system. Tho great bulk of the Imports of sugar comes from bounty-giving vountries. The bounty system is that a rountry giving it l-cunty encourwgm production with. in its borders. and at the some time does its best to restrict consump- tion by its own people by c-w-ry poesittle means. The result is that there is an enormous surplus which has to find a foreign market, and this country, under the present cir. unmatunces. in tho only market. Then-form It is quite coneeieable- unless, of course, the bounty-giving countries nitimr rvduce the area of their Mignr production or lower their own duties of sugar for the benefit of “Mr own population. both of which actions vwould mean the abolition of the bounty syntmn --that the real result of the now tax. although at first the print might rise and consumption nonsu- quentiy be rNim-nd, would be thnt there would be such an inflow into this country of bounty-fed sugar». unnhlo to go visowhere. that the price might be brought down.

On the. then present basis of taxation he estim- ated that the revenue would amount to S1frr.2fl8,MO, or a deficit of 12.34.793.030. fro. snspmxlct] the sinking fund, in the form of termlnnble nu- nuitles, amounting to £4,610,000. which brought the estimated deficit down to $30,153,000. Then he added GO per cent. to tho income tax, in- creasing it from 8d. to Is. This was estimated to give str8tm,0tm within the coming year. Then he placed ls. duty on all eontrn'et notes, £150,000: ls. duty on every barrel ot beer, real injury to the coal trade. Even supposing that. the export ot coal!- vhecked, I am not sure that even that result will be an evil. From this source I expect £2,100,000. an aggregate of $311,000,000 from new taxation. ls Irrlund “audited?
