Close of Debate on Income Tax Resolutions in Parliament
The report on the Income Tax resolutions was brought up and received in the House of Commons without a division after Lord John Russell's earlier position. The piece argues the tax burden, chiefly on Schedule E, must be part of broader reform, with calls to press ministers to refine the tariff and tackle monopolies, while noting industry stagnation and the need for clear government scheduling. The article highlights expectations for further debate, potential equalisation of real and personal property duties, and the urgency of concluding ministerial plans for business stability.

Mr Duncombe and his Plagiarists in Parliament
The article lauds Mr Duncombe for overturning a long standing practice of blocking petitions against taxes. It contrasts his approach with Lord Francis Egerton and Lord Mahon, arguing the latter’s standing order preserves a “feather bed” for the Prime Minister while undermining genuine petition rights. It condemns party tact and calls for direct action devoid of onerous conditions.
Income Tax Debate Refects on Protective System
The debate on Lord John Russell's and the Income Tax resolutions lasts four nights with sharp wit and solid argument but no votes shifted. The article urges reformists to accept a general-interest approach over Tory protectionism, warning that protecting monopolies in corn and sugar harms small trades and that party leaders cannot claim exemption from principles they themselves set.
