To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though Governments cannot be maintained without cost, and taxation to maintain good Government is a necessity, yet every penny required to carry on war policy not absolutely demanded by the people is unjust and illegitimate. The Zulu war was commenced Avithout the first sanc- tion of Parliament, and so was the Afghan. Lord Salisbury's instructions to Lord Lytton were ** Find cause of quarrel with Shere Ali, the Ameer of Afghanistan, and if you cannot find a cause, make one. " No legitimate caus...e was found, and Lord Lytton made one. Parliament was called upon to ratify accomplished facts and to pay, but was not first asked to sanction them ere they were begun ; and, in accordance with true constitutional principles, the payment of taxes for these Avars is unjust.
Every shilling taken in taxation is unproductive, is an injury to the wage-winner, and is so much loss to the national resources ; every working man earning twenty shillings weekly, and paying, say, three shil- lings in taxes, is no better off than if he had earned seventeen shillings ; could he have his twenty shillings in full he would be at liberty to spend three shillings more weekly on himself and his family, and would be so much better off, financially ; increased taxation 37 means increased burdens upon the masses and less money to spend by those who win it ; a Government, there- fore, that unjustly increases taxation is a guilty Government, doing irreparable injury to the whole community.
