Ifsmousimum FOR Tsxanorr ADJUATERI3.—The whole interest of the National Debt
(27,000,00W.) is paid by six taxes, which fall at this moment upon the lowest class of the community ; the tax on tea, on sugar, on coffee, on spirits, on malt, on tobacco ; these six articles raise a revenue of above 30,000,0001. annually. The whole civil government of this country, does not cod 20,000,0001. • 10,000,0001. less than the interest of the National Debt. If you are to transfer the burden from land to indirect taxation, you in fact impose it upon the people.—Bir James Graham at Carlisle.
