PAUPERISM & PAUPER TAXATION. 
Comparative view of the Exrent of PAUPERISM and Pressure of PAUPER TAXA- 
TION, at different periods ; shewing the alarming increase of degradation and privation, 
on the part of the labouring, and increase of pressure on all the industrious and productive 
Classes : -inevitable consequences of petty expediency and a speculative system of Policy.

*,* As great efforts have lately been made to induce the people of England to believe 
that their interests were in a career of unexampled prosperity; without here questioning 
such pretension, the preceding Statement is simply submitted to their serious reflection, 
the most important feature of which is the great proportion of the population receiving 
relief: In the return made to Parliament in 1818, page 630*, the proportion receiving relief 
on an average of the three Years 1812 — 15 is stated as having been 93 out of every 100 
of the total Population, but after distinctly stating in the head of every Column of the 
Statistical part of the return, that the No. of Persons relieved, did not include the Chil- 
dren of such persons, the proportional of 94 is deduced by dividing the Total Population 
by the No. said to have been relieved. ‘ 7 :
