The few rich ones learn hew to evade 'their fair proportion, and the many poor people have noth- ingt ever and slave a bare living, C.) spare for the—tax-collector. Poor peoPle's consumption of highly taxed goods is limited. Suppose a country viith 5;000,000 of poPulation and $5,000,000,000 of wealth, so divided that there is $1,000 to each person, or $5,000 eo each family, the collection of a large revenue in such a country would be easy. Suppose another country with equal population and equal aggregate wealth,. but in which 10,000 Men own $100,000 each, 1,000 men own $1,000,000 each, and 100 men own $10,000,006 each—three-fifths of the entire wealth of the country being thus possessed by 11,100 men, While the remaining 4;988,900 persons have only , two-fifths among them, Or 'less than $400 pet head—in this latter vountry the collection of revenue would be difficplt. The . duty of statesmen is,Ato make such conditions that wealth Shall not only be freely produced, but that it shall. be equitably distributed. There is not iinch a difference in the earning oapacity ofauen that one can, by hon- ost labor of head or hand, accumulate .$10;000,000 while another equally sober and industrious, can only lay up 1400. Something Wrong in the. laws eetnpels one to work for the enrich - 'dent of another, while keeping only a bare living for himself. The protec- tive tariff is one of the tools to that ond. The taxing of houses and goeds for municipal expenses is another. let the men who are 410 anxious for the maintainence of British Connec- tion and the avoidanCe of annexation ; let Mr. Abbott and Mr. Mowat, in their respective spheres, repeal the tax lavia which make many poor in order thtit a few inay be very rich, and neither of them will have any need to fear the growth of annexation senti- ment.
