Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Local Taxation, Especially in English Cities and Towns: A Speech Delivered in the House of Commons, on March 23rd, 1886
As the burden of local taxation in towns is growing heavier and heavier on occupiers, and as in Scotland and Ireland half the local taxation is paid by owners, I deter mined as early as possible to bring the subject before the new Parliament, and I did so with success, carrying my motion by a majority of forty. This, the first defeat which the country party has sustained on the subject of local taxation for years, is of great interest to townspeople, especially to shopkeepers, and with the View of attracting their attention, the speech has been published.
