less trated thun has posed.

The total number of persons “charged tax’”’ in 1883 was 437,566. As the population of the British Islands at the latest reported date, 1881, was 35, 246,603, the number of persoas paying income tax was but 12.4 to 1,000. Allowing 6 persons, on the average, to a family, there are but 75 families in 1,000 with an income sufficient to be taxed, 7. ¢, an income of £1900, which is the minimum. Of the total number of incomes taxed,48.495 were below £150,- 159, 998 were from £150 to £200 and those under £200 or $1,000 were 208,- 433, or 47 per cent. of the entire num

LO income

ber. Between £200 and £300 there were 107,324, making 315,807 or over 70 per cent. of the total under £300 or $1,500. Between £300 and £400

there were 47,433 making 363,140 or 83 per cent. of the total with imcomes uoder £400 or $2,000. This leaves 17 per cent. of all the persons paying in- come tax withan income of £400 or $2,000. In other words, as there are only 32.4 persons in 1,000 of the popu- lation who pay income tax at all, so there is less than ove person in 1,000 with an income of over 2,000, Or, putting it in the other form and count- ing the 437,566 incomes taxed as be- longing to the same number of families, there would be only an average of six families in 1,000 with an income of £400 or $2,000.

Beyond the limit of £400 the number of incomes diminishes rapidly for each additional £100 until $1,000 is reached. Between £900 and £1,000 there are only 1,823 incomes. Beyond that limit the incomes are classified by intervals of £1,000. Between 1,000/ and 2,000/ there are 12,985 incomes. The next advance of 1,000/ brings the number down to 3,934, and so on, until the number between 4,000/ and 5,000/ ~is reduced to 1,000. Of incomes above 5,000/ there are but 3,145, or 1 to 11,- 207 of the population. Of incomes above 10,000/ there are 1,265, or 1 in 21,370. Of incomes of 50,000/ or over there are but 98, or 1 to 360,000. It igs, to be sure,a pretty sirong concentration of wealth that produces nearly a hun- dred persons in one Country with pro- perty fairly valued at over $6,000,000 each, but itis not improbable that the proportion is quite as large in this country. And it would be difficult to convince most of our readers that there is not an average of more than ane person in 1,000 or 6 families in 1,000 of the United States with an income of $2,000 or upward. Such comparisons, in the absence of any precise statistics in this country, must be very general vague, and allowance must be made, also, for the lower cost of liviog in England, which makes the same income represent relatively more easy circumstances thao here. Bat with these qualifications borne in mind it is a fair inference from these figures that large incomes are not se@ common in Kogland as is generaliy supposed, and that the incomes yielding what would be regared as comfortable means of sup- port are not so frequent there asin the

The Strength of the British Army.

Of the regular army, the ay rage strength or the force at home during 1884 was 89,99 t, the number abroad being 93,- 010.
