Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gladstone on the Income Tax: Discussion on the Income Tax in the House of Commons on 25th April, 1884, With Preface and Historical Sketch, Including a Proposed Bill An imperative sense of duty constrains me to a task involving the painful necessity of inculpating a man, for whose unrivalled intellectual eminence and varied accomplishments I entertain the highest admiration, and for whom personally I retain an old affection, which has not been extinguished by the many severe trials which it has encountered. It may seem cruel to dissipate the halo which glorifies an object of Hero-worship, but the seeming cruelty may be true benevolence, if it helps to check the pernicious tendency of men charged with public responsibility, to stifle their reasoning faculties and renounce their individual freedom, in order to place their political action at the disposal of a fellow-creature, who, to justify their subserviency, ought to be omniscient and infallible. Lord Rosebery, in the course of his speech at Manchester on the 1st of April, 1885, affirmed that "if the Opposition came into power to-morrow, they would claim the confidence of the country on the ground of aversion to Mr. Gladstone."
