"How is this deficit to be met?"
asked Sir itliehael.
"I will neyer be responsible for the
fatal policy of paying the whole cost
of the war out or the loans, without
putting a re.asonable amount on the
taxpayers of the day. The real dif-
ficulty, however, is not so muchthe
cost of the we.r in South! Africa as
the operations in China, as they will
increase our ordinary expenditure
even it the war comes to an end
within three or foar montbs (this
statement caused cheering from the
Irish members), or sooner than the
bonorable members suppose. Our or-
dinary expenditure would not per-
mit of the remittance of the addi-
tional taxation proposed for war
purposes last year. It therefore be-
eolues necessary to put our Pspencli-
tura on broader bases.

"As -to obtaining contributions from
the. Transvaal, Ser David Barbour's
reports are not encouraging at pres-
ent. I think the House will see the
war Imo brought that country to the
verge of rain. (Oppoeition cheers
greeted tide remark.) This can no
longer be considered. The small war
ha» cost £148,000,000, double the cost
of the Crimean war. There was Z67,-

House a true account of our finances
for the present and immediate future.
In our time no Chanuellor of the Ex-
chequer has had so difficult a task,
and none has had a more indulgent
audience. I have not laid proposols
before the House with the view of
gaining transient popularity, but I
have endeavored to establish a prin-
ciple of contribution by the whole
community- to the burdens of the
