BRITISH T AX ON SALT.
We make the following extract from the
debate in the British Home of Commons on
the 4th March, relative to the proposed tax
on Salt. Suhaequent accounts ttate that
. this tax bat patted by a large majority.
- The Chancellor tof the Exchequer Mr.
Pitt having moved that the additional Salt
dujy bill b now read a second time,
Iord W. Ruvtel cxprrtscd hit opinion
thttthittat would materially affect the la.
boring classes of the community, the pro
lection of horn he at sorry to tty the right
hon. gentleman teemed to h abandoned.
He had been in hopes that the report of the
committee on this subject ould have tcCi
eicntly thewn the inconvenience and oppress
lion of the tax. He now hoped that thore who
vrd tbt intUfJtion of the committee, and.
tfcts bill would be to laise the assize tf bread
y the price of aH kinds cf butchers' meat
1 -srould 'necessarily be inntpscd ; nrd alt
ftsh, whicbVaS the chiel diet of mat.y of the
;poor, y ouldlikewise become more expeiifiive.
His lordship Concluded by moving i.s tn n-
miendirent, that for the word now" be f ub-
'tftitultd the wi)rds"lhis day sis tiionths."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer cbser
ved that the 'committer iiTthe rvport which
thty gave in some years ago. ami which had
been alluded to by the noble lord, proceeded
tin the ground of ende'rirtg salt applicable to
many general purpoes, umofVjif which T'ai""
even that1 of manure, It was certainly their
object to give facility- to tbe circulation of
that article; but the chief hinderance to a free
circdlution wn the regulation which the cbi
ty nectt-savily' demanded and these tegula
tipns -.von Id equally effect the circulation,
whetherthe duty smounlcd to 5, or 10, or 15
shillings a bushel, so that the noble lord
ought notto be satisfied with advising a reject
tion of a revenue of C 500.000 which the pro
posal additional duty would produce, but
should advise the taking off the duty ncwpsis
tinc:, which produced a revenue amounting to
double that sum. The report had slept for
three years, and the consideration of it was
now urged, at a time, than vh'nh none
could be more imftt. The noble lord had an-
serted, that this tax pressed heavily cn the
poor. It wasamost impleasant thing for him
to be under the necessity of in pin t.xt-s
which 'in any degree effected t!:e h v.r tl..s
ses, but .he had H Vacred di:fv t Y perfw-fi."
We were engaged in a cop'e&t forthe C:' e
both 'of rich und poor : .suppites n '
found, and no mode A' raising them fet t,v
'tb him so Mule liable U objection as tl.r y
sent. . . "V. ' '. ; ""'...
"Mr. T-'oK -dt-rlared, that to Ti.r ,' iv m "
thiivVtrig this nn unobjectionable tax, heticvJr
knew, one more objectionable in every pint
of view. He perfectly assented to th-,-
repoit of the committee in 1 SOI If,"
brntead of the situation in which we now are,
we were at pace, he should cert airly move for
the ''total annihilation of the salt duly.
" But," says the riglvt bon. gentleman by
a singular mode of argument, similar to one
that wat used the other evening on the slave)
trade, if you do not repeal the old tax, it is
of no nse to reject the new one." W hat, ia
the magnitude of the tax then of no conse
quence? We may hesitate to relinqtiUhife
Urge reverrar, although but imperfectly fi
tisfied with the means by which it it tb'ain
ed, but to say that we should therefore in
crease it by an extension of those means, was
more than absurd. An evil might exist
which in certain circumstances wc might not
be able to remove, but rv should U least r.ot
render it mere difficult to abolish it, and it
was well known that the increase of pioduro
I must be accomplished by on increusc of dmi
i -luli v.lt l,d been said that -the fishel iea -
rouUlnot tufTerby this additional duty, aa
the shU used in them was exempt fn.m it,
but it wat objectionable to have a very Idrje
tax on which very large drawback, n.ust be
made The calculatioiit wbith the light hen.
gentlem.n had entered into were materially
erroneous. It wat a principle in taxation
to abstain from laying wny impost on those
articles that prircipally formed the ficd of
man, tuch at wheal, lre.d, and butchert
meat ; and yet the right hon. gentleman pro-
poreu to lay on the last a rnoyi rrpcrssive
tho' an indirect tax. He turposet th
will fall lichtlr on .the nonr. Uhrn ihrr
- were- able to procure any animoV food, w hit h
was generally titiuu meat ; it wat eviatm
that this wat a tax on the peculiar food cf
the poor, and net on that t the rich. The
amount would, indeed, to a poor man, be
ooimmis. He had made enquiry, and he
found that for tubing a hog of twenty score,
a lushct and a half of tali wat required, and
when the animal wat smaller, the talt ued
wat more than the due proportion. The
retailers, on the preiumption of this hill
being patted, had already advanced tilt lix
thilbng a bushel, to that for hog of twenty
tcoir, the poor cottager would have to pay
nine shilling fur aalt, and for one little more
than a hundred wright, four shillings ifJ..
six pence, making an ircreate in the price of)
meat, of one halfpenny in the pound. It wat
true, that were tlit till rejected, it would
rrquire a tax producing a very contidcrable
turn to replace it, tut he could not conceit
any possible one more oppressive aud mors
objettionalle than the pretent, and he
thculd therefore give hit more hettty
concurrence to the amendment prcpostj
by hit noble friend.
" Sir William Pultr ney, in a concite speech
strongly reprobaud the tax.
u Mr, Johottone vindicated the statement
of ir William Tultrney. He argued that
the tmallncstof the revenue produced by the
ta in Scotland, wat only a proof of th
great qutntitiet tmnf vied in that rctintry t
which the pretent ahi ion to the tax would
gtin fend to increate.
