      nation instalment , or s any after one it else has , three become month due s . in In advance factthe , or m in ost easy - - pressed portion of the people , both by imperial , and local taxa op - tion , are those very persons whose money represents hard labour , and who are taxed just as heavily in proportion to their

      I means as the millionaire who has nothing to do but to write a cheque whenever he wants his thousand pounds . But Mr . Lowe would not he Mr . Lowe if he did not treat with contempt the claims of the obscure and the honest labourer , for such we consider all those whose pittances are earned by labour , whether of

      the brain or the muscles . But what are the benefits we are to have in return for all this hardship ? A penny off the Income-tax . We sincerely believe that many men of small means would sooner pay 6 d . Incometax if they paid i ^ d . every quarter , than 4 d ., if they had to pay

      it all at once . It is a well-known thing—even Mr . Lowe will admit this—that hundreds and thousands are saved from ruin every day by having time granted them , to pay their liabilities , just as many are ruined by having to pay at once the debt they expected to be able to liquidate by small instalments .

      Supposing a man . had to buy all his tea or sugar for one year on the ist of January , how many would have to give up these luxuries . As for other reductions , the is . duty on corn was never felt by anyone , and its abolition has neither benefited the consumer in England—at best , if bread is any cheaper we wish our baker

      would say so—nor the producer . Are our farmers making better profit on their wheat ? As for the Fire Insurance duty , that was doomed ; it is the only real relief given . The boasted readjustment of taxation on locomotion will , we prophecy , put a fine lot of money into the pockets of those very worst of petty

      tyrants and middle men , cab proprietors . The lucky public will be treated to a continual supply of such vehicles as are resuscitated on the Derby Day , and similar occasions , but which on ordinary occasions are mercifully allowed to afford shelter to the pensive bantam or the teeming dorking . We shall see .

      Meanwhile , Mr . Lowe , may your New Year be as happy as that of the numberless humble householders for whom you have loaded at the hour of its birth with burdens hard to be borne .
