There can be no doubt sald tax will prove a very great burthen to those having to pay as the Impossibility of personally de- claring one's income, as required, will subject traders to arbitrary assessment, which cannot but lead to injustice being done. How European trado and industry, to the exclusion of other inhabitants, has deserved being subjected to an income tax, so hateful in form and uncertain in extent, must not be inquired into, but certain it is, that this measuro will only creato fresh difficulties for trade and indus. try, the time for which, from all points of Flow, is very ill chosen.
