THE GOVERNMENT TAXATION.
Sib, — The complaint of your correspondent Mr M'Lachlan, thathis approvalof the new taxation should be weighed against the opinions of tbe leading authorities on political economy is absurd- How else are discussions on any subject ever settled except by reference to the recognised masters of such subjects ? Any other discussion becomes a mere hotheaded onesided jangle between two or more disputants, into which no- sensible man ever thinks of entering. The government proposals are so universally condemned from one end of the financial world to the other and show so much ignorance, not only of political economy, but also of human nature, that it requires no prophet to foretell that the verdict of the country will be, Tuen-em-out.
