It is well observed by the South African
Commercial Advertiser in commenting upon
the relative evils contrasted with the various
disadvantageous modes used in TAXATION,
and the comparison attempted to be drawn
between the amount and the method pursued
of collecting taxes in Holland and at the
Cape, that tax-leviers shauld beware of
grounding the comparison on the proportion
which their amount hears to the absolute
number of inhabitants, for sensibly (observes
the South African) the productions out of
which the Taxes must be paid, are, in our
case, almost solely the raw productions of the
soil — corn, and cattle, with wine, which,
when transferred by the farmer to the mer-
chant, is little more than the simple juice of
the grape. In England the skill and indus-
try of man, has, in the course of ages, not only
rendered, the soil an hundred times more pro-
ductive, but another source of wealth has
been created, more effective in producing
wealth than the soil itself. Manufactures,
as opposed to Agriculture, constitute the
the Nation is defrayed. Before you can in-
stitute a just comparison between the burden
borne by individuals in the two countries,
you must take into account the different cir-
cumstances in which they stand. In England,
as distinct from Wales, the proportion of tax-
es paid by each individual is estimated at
£3 2, equal to Rds. 41 2 4, while in Ire-
land it is only 11 shillings and 6 pence, or
Rds 7 5 2 ; and yet the taxes press more
severley on the Irish than on the inhabitants
of England, so, great is the difference between
the amount of profit realised by the employ-
ment of Capital and Labour in the two coun
tries. The Cape is certainly far below Ire-
land in Manufactures, the condition of its
soil in reference to Roads and Markets, and
many other important particulars, which de-
cide the value of land and fixed property, and
of capital actively employed ; yet, the New
Scheme of the Commissioners lays a burthen
on each inhabitant of the Cape, including
Slaves, of Rds. 13 4.2, or £1 0 3¾, or,
excluding Slaves, the proportion will be Rds.
18 6 3, or £ 1 8 2¼. In France, notwith-
standing all its advantages of roads, canals,
navigable rivers, superior wines and manu-
fiicturers, the proportion per head is only
£ 1 4, or Rds. 16. In Portugal, which we
more nearly resemble, though infinitely be-
low it in the quality of our produce, it is no
more than 10 shillings and 3 pence, or Rds
10 6 4. But the Portuguese do not pay
their Functionaries on a scale like that of the
Cape. The Governor of the rich Island of
Madeira, the wine of which brings £ 30 per
pipe on the beach, received only £1,5000
