Parliament jshould rdirect its attention , ; would be a revision arid just apportionment bfih&Mrdm of taxation .

The , " land-tax ought to be re-assessed ; and if the income stax was contihued , there ought to be ; an equitable adjustment of its amount in reference to the distinction between ¦ precariona incomes and incomes derived from permanent sources . The ^ window duties would'be swept away ; as one of the most pernicious and indefensible taxes ever imposed ; and all Excise , restrictions , with the . exception , perhaps ^ of th ose on the manufacture ., of . spirituous . liquors , should be abolished . v- . : ; i - - •; - ¦ - ' ¦ > ¦ *¦¦*> ¦ ¦'¦ ¦ ; ¦ - ¦¦ ¦ ' ' : ; -
: In close connexion with these great and urgent measures , a People ' s Parliament would enforce a rigid economy and . retrenchment ia the expenditure and "' administration of the public revenue , thus levied and collected . The promise 8 orcheap ''^ and , good government , made at the time of the Eeform Bill , have been , forgotten , or set at nought , Up , to' 1848 , ' the expenditure 1 bf the United Kingdom had ^ yithin the previous-twelve years ';; been ' increased by the addition of eight milliohsj ' Bterling per an <> num ; andi-notwithstandin ' g ' some reductions
since tbat'period , still rehvaing at heai'l y that excess over the expenditure ' for the yea ) 1836 . The army- and ^ navy have beedi largely ' vini ; creased during that period , and are still maintained , without any adequate necessity ; upoa a war footing . ' . ¦ These , enormous armaments have been maintained in ' a' time of peace , at the cost of adding to the vast debt contracted in war .- In 1847 , the "d eficit in the . revenue of three millions sterlingj was ^ bnly met by adding it to- thiB unfunded portion of the National Debt . The army , navy , and ordnance estimates would be reduced at least to the
standard of 1835 ; a reduction in the number of foreign embassies would ^ be effected , and all useless offices and unmerited pensions would be unsparingly extinguished by the real Vepre-. sentatiyes of the people ; . '; , Having ^ thus primarily provided for an eificient imperial and local administration , 'for a just arid equal ftysteni of taxation , aiid for the economical expenditure of the public revenue , the next class of measures to which a Legislature is elected by , and responsible to ; the whole people , should turn its attention , would be the improvement of the material condition of the
masses * A system of Preceptive Poor Laws would i be the foundation' of ¦ all subsequent measures for this purpose . ' The principle of poor laws has hitherto been confined in Hb application to the relief of-destuution by alma , often so administered as to increase and en » courage the growth of that , monster social evil —pauperism . The means , for its prevention , as far : - as destitution is caused by . physical means only , are known , but have been neglected , i or abusedi ' It is no want of pri » mary elements of wealth that any part of the population are poor , or living in a state of
pauperism . There is ; in these islands , land sufficient for the support of four times their present population i ; butj in consequence of a vicious and-corrupt system of land monopoly and : land tenure ; the soil is ; locked up from the people , and doomed -to artificial sterility , or rather nnprbdufetiveness . IVhen the facilities for extingui 8 hih g pauperism , offered by the latent / undeveloped , arid , unused capabilities of the' home soil , were exhausted , the resources of our coloniesitni g ht be = resorted tb , and thus , for ;" centuries to come , at least , want , or the fearof want , be made to be unknown to every British subject ' .

;; : A 'People ' s ; Parliament ,. with this object , ought to in 8 | itute , in the first place' inquiry into the means : 6 f reclaiming the bogs and waste lands ; bf the ITriited Kingdom , upon such a plan as would always admit of productivei ' supplementai-yempibymerit ^ for the ablebodied when other resources failed ; and , in connexion with , this , an official ; public inquiry in | to Jthe results of ; the various ' experiments that'have been / made , and' the various plans that have . been proposed ; of systematic colouisatibij , ' either home ^^ or ^ foreign , with a viewto the . adbptibh- on . a largescale ; of such plans as inay ' offer the best eiiaran ^ ee of success
in relieving the- existing . pressure '' or ithe com-P * ^® labour ^ inarkefc ¦ ' The'improvement of laud is' ^ source 6 t pfbductive employment ^ ° 8 t indefinite . But the reason why waste lands arid -bogs are not reclaimed by individuals , is that the return upon a large outlay is often too distant to eficonrage individual enterprise . ' This objection ^ dbesiibt apply to the State , one duty of which is tb extend the resources of the next gieneratibn / V In no other way can it perform that duty 8 b effectually as by this .

In the next place , and for , the further promotion of this object ; a People ' s ' Parliament would irnmediately ^ enact just Jaws of iiiheritance" with the tiltiipate view of restoring the owuei'sliip bf the /^ nole soil to the people , to whom , by thb decree of Gbp himself ; it rightfully b ( Blnhgs , , a ^ its alienation from whom , by . fraud and force , constitutes the gr » at cause of physical and social misery and evil .. : Thi » fundamental aiid important alteration in the tenure of the soil muit , however ^ ' in justice to all parties , be made only graduall y ^ | irogressiyely , and . equitably ,., carefully , indemuitving all xis ? rihtsnd
