PROTECTION IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The Toronto Globe’s London corres- pondent reyorts that the British Govern- ment is in a difficulty as to how ends meet. He says that, despite “fran~ tic efforts to collect al! the taxes” “there , will be £1,000,0(0 deficit in the revenue,” and that with the increased defence ex- penditure, Chancel'or Hicks-Beach wil! have to raise £5,000,00) by fresh taxation. Farther, the Globe’s correspondent says :

** There are two diametrically opposite programmes for raising this money. Toe old-fashioned, orthodex one, whicn it ‘s expected Chancellor Hicks-Beach will adopt, is the restoration of the six-peoce « pound tex on tobacco, the extension of the income tax to bank depesits, legi:lation to prevent legutors from aiding their heirs to avoid death duties by the device of mak- ing over property to them during life, and the graduated receipt stamp tax.

—The bank statement shows that the Proviacial Government does not now owe the Merebant’s Bank of P.E.

—It bas been shown that from 1867 to 1898 no fewer than 153 b lis. were rej-cred by theSenate.
