Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Speeches of the Right Honourable Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Vol. 2 of 3: With a Sketch of His Life Mr. Pitt opened the debate by stating the various articles of supply which had been voted, and afterwards the amount of the annual revenue. He concluded by moving - "That it is the opinion of this committee, that the sum of £2,300,000 be taken from the consolidated fund, and applied to the service of the current year." Mr. Sheridan declared, that it would have given him great pleasure if he could have reconciled it to himself to have continued wholly silent, without appearing either to disturb the flattering prospect which the right hon. gentleman (the chancellor of the exchequer) had presented to the committee, or to depreciate the calculation on which he had claimed the confidence of the house; but the right hon. gentleman had himself declared, that it had proved the greatest glory of the house of commons when they manifested the courage to face their situation, and to state the truth of it, however unpleasant the task. On this ground, he felt himself compelled to maintain every one of his former calculations; and whilst he agreed with the minister in his general principles, and in his statement of the growing prosperity of the country, completely to disagree with him in the single fact that our income was equal, or nearly equal, to our expenditure. He had never spoken in a desponding state of our resources; on the contrary, no man thought more highly of them, if judiciously applied.
