' Mr. Pitt's Speech on the Finances I In the houie of commons, on the 4th of December, Mr. Pitt brought forward his new plan for the taxing of income, by the means of which, no further addition (after I the present year) will be made to the nation al debt, while thtt de6t will be continually ' diniinifhing by the operation of the finking 1 fund—The ininifter went into a very minute ' detail of every bralieh of the eJrtenllve and J impoj-tant fubjett, after which he conclud ed with the following remarks. Mr Warren. Mr Vox In the mode of applying the money so collected there would be two ways—it might be either by paying off the turn borrowed last year, and then by borrowing an equal sum so paid off for the service of this year, or by applying it/to the service of the present, and letting it (land mortgaged,' for the dis charge of what would exceed the sum which the linking fund of la ft year would pay off. But before he stated any thing of the amount of the loan, supposing ten millions to be the amount of the produce of the tax, he wifli ed it t© commence from the sth of April next ; and he proposed that the a fie (Ted tax es fliould be repealed from the fame date. The aflefied taxes became due on the ift of February : and the differences of the dates from which the aflefied taxes and the proper ty tax would become become due, threw a balance of 700,0001. in favor of the present year ; that would give a sum of 10,700,0001. But it must be recollected, that the whole was not applicable to the supply of the year; for the interest of eight millions borrowed last year, was payable from the afieffed tax es, and c the events of the country. The deeds performed by our armies had been emi nent, brilliant and glorious—The luftreaud toccdles of our naval arms, had, if poflible, ruled the character of the Britifb navy be yond every former period ; nor was it with a delign oi depreciating their merits that he gave to other circumstances more important confiucration. The naval glory of the coun try was a theme congenial to the heart of an Englishman ; it was bringing to a point the afources of the country, aud shewed i ts power and energy in the faireft point of view. Let it not be iuppofed he meant to detraft irom their great and important l'ervice ; but n was important for that .house to carry their views still further. Trm- it was our Seets had produced a change in the face of Europe ; true « was it had been produced by the judgment Ikill, and energy of a naval officer, whole abilities, refoiiL InS perteverance, were aided by the zeal, -order and unconquerable vigour of Brjtilh seamen. ed'theV* 5 th l l ? lonotJsvla,or y had avert tt ovT W , h rea dy to ov,rft U pon the continent. It had saved the distant poffcffions of the country ■ it had given salvation to feme nat.ons or/the Con to au' if n th ° n thc mMns of falv!uion to all, if they VO uld profit by then,. But ™ f m , Uft T °" eft the P— whichgave > • gy to that force : 1 hey muftnot forget to thT * enab ' cd US to in to those quarters/of the world where here tofore.we: karccly ever ventured to doit. The house must thn the £oul of these enterpr'nes, the vital spirit which an' watsd them, wat in the permanency 0 f ou ~ • resources—And whence arose those refon f ces ? In the profound wisdom, the unfcl;™' firmnefs, and inflexible perseverance 0 f liament, with that unabated zeal, with th » disinterested magnanimity, with that pu m^ 'S spirit, which chara&erized the British of tion, was not content merely with f is themselves, but they afforded to the reft ic the world an opportunity of vindicating their er infill ted honour, and restoring themselves J n . that rank from which they lad been deer a , ded. Tlie wifdoin of parliament had callJ I for , th the r adi c a l strength of the country ° and therefor® he felt no difficulty in ' d what the zeal of the country had valuatarilv J He ielt - hefttation in afk.nT small part as a salvage, for restoring our Co feI A ve j * nd c th * re{l of Euro l*- But had we it rested fatisfied with having found refourc, d and done no more ?—We were confident al as a mercantile country ; the spirit of com r merce was (uppofed to be so transfufed into t ' us, that pacific purposes, and the desires 0 f ' increasing the profits of our capital, h forced all our military ideas, and obliterated r from our memory the sturdy chara&er of ou y ancestors. But although we had with ener gy raised the necessary supplies, and had paid" every attention to our commercial interest. .j yet our charafter had fuffered no di m i nu ' tion in military spirit. •' , the r PUr the occaflou the nation had come forward with martial oider t- ue magnanimity, and with enthusiastic military ■ zeal, that had at last put us on a level with • the mod military rations of the continent • at the fame moment also we had accompanU ed it not with a dsfertion of our commercial - interest, but with an increase and extension of them unprecedented in th hiflory of t ] le ' country. This is what we had seen in the cotrfe of the present year. Though we had , been deserted by all the world, we had con tinueu the vnr with more vigor and success • then ever. If the great and fplend.d fiwefi r w hich hail attended our arms had been the • oc cation of temporary deprivations—lf we had purchased them by a suspension of fo We advantagas, there was not any one who would )r regret the facrifice ; but when, as was the cafe, i/e enjoyed all our advantages and our • fuccefTes together, when our line of duty f 0 - much coincided with our interests, there could not he a moment's hesitation in the P breafl of any man to follow up the system " whose beneficial effects were so vifihle, and 10 whose advantages were so fenflWyfelt.' He could hardly conceive it poffifcje that there Was any necessity for going into details to • induce that house to persevere in a plan by which we had shewn to all th« world and convinced our enemies, whatever were the ° hopes they entertained, that we at least could - continue the druggie as long as either the Jionor or the interest of tlie country demand it. We should feel, upen refleftion, that el . very maxim of prudence with rtgard to our intereft requires a perseverance in the fyftrm '' we had adopted. He should not now go o ver the ground which he went over, of ftat- k * itrg the ultimate oeconoroy of such apian—, " -hat of raiting within the year a large porti. " on of the supplies for the year : let it bte. nough to slate, that of what money was bor rowed, i-i2th part mufl be annually fur > nifhed for tlie defraying of the annual inter. ell. 1 his would be found, upon compari ie I'on with the present measure, to bring !t threefold cha'ges upon the country— that is, as in the proportion of three to rr one. If such advantages resulted to the '• country from an oeconomical view of the '• l'ubjea, without taking into the scale the po litical advantages of the measure, lie was w sure he need not urge much to persuade the committee to lupport a fyfteni so advanta >' geoiis. They would not, by an adherence • to prejudices, objeft to a dii'clofure of pro , P ert y> where the commissioners were sworn to secrecy. He trusted they would not k. pnve themselves of an advantage which mud extend its benefits equally to the landed gen " tleman, the farmer, the trader, the artizan, " the manufacturer, and more particularly to the latter class, for the prosperity of the ; 8 country and the stability and security it en joyed. But it was not on a view of general 1 economy alone that the question was impor tant, it would be more evident if w» were lr not determined to shut our eyes to pad ex perience. 1 aking the average number of y years as to tbe probability of war, fiipnoflng they would he equal hereafter to what they s had been since the peace of Aix la Ckapelle, and the luftory of mankind afforded strong presumption tliat such a melancholy cakula. J t' oo w ould betoo true, consider then what a would be the situation of the country if we ; c adhered to the old fyfteni of borrowing for tb.e supplies of the year, and that the present 1 j fyfteni was not adopted. That amount of •> : tax which now would be only temporary, ) would in that cafe be permanent, entailed 1 I upon their defceHdants a lasting burthen. If i the question was looked at in that point of 1 view, it would alone be fufficient to decide it. t Having thus considered the question in an n , economical and financial point of vie\y, let us next look/at the questions as affedingthe s permanent interest of the country. 1 It had been tfie opinion of many, that lt because we inlieritsd a b'irthen from onran i ceftors we ougfit without consideration t» |r throw it again forwards on our poflerity. But if instead of anticipating the rcveniie» «ur forefathers had been content to adopt a | the present plan, itiftead of paying twenty four millions of permanent taxe» which we , r now paid, a much lei's sum of temporary u taxes would answer all the demands ®f the t- y ear - If the house considered well this u point, they could hardly think we ought j to throw the burthen on poflerity. If we jj continued in the system of enlarging our )_ debt, after the old mode, at the end of fix n years war, supposing it to br equally expec lt five with the present, inflead of io millions e of temporary taxes, we fhoufcl have 30 rnil ,t lions of permanei.t taxes to proride ti r. But if 'he present plan was adopted, ta« ■- k' n g ii.to confidcratioH the operation of the ; finking fund, at the close of 30 years the ■,f fax now proposed, with the finking fund at 1 I 1.
