In all these countries taxation : has been pressed as fair as the people can hear it. Everywhere the complaint of over-taxation is so lond and gen eral that the sovereigns must -pause cre they feed public discontent by imcreasing the pul)lic debts. We have seen what Great Britain owes; the annual interest on this debt amounts to 228,000,000, or more thani laf the whale revenue of the reain. The other leading States are thus indebted: Russia C122,170,000; Attstria E183,. 400,000; Turkey E6.660,700; France 12,170,000.
