IN MINCING 
At this time of the year, ^vhen the Britisii public 
generally is more or less interesting itself in the 
Cliancellor of the Excliequer's Budget, our thoughts 
run over a wide rnnge of eouiniercial pioducts, 
or likely sources of taxation that may, possibly 
suggest themselves to the resourceful and fertile 
mind of the Cliancellor, and that will not press 
too heavily on any class of the coninuinity in 
particular. In doing tins we cannot help being 
struck witli the prominent part the vegetable 
kingdom plays in the realisation of revenue. 
A glance even at the Customs Tariff of the United 
Kingdom which, of course, is a list of thosa 
articles which are already liable to duty, proves 
tlie truth of this statement, not only with regard 
to the number of vegetable products in comparison 
with those from other sources, but also to the 
absence of many other well-known substances of 
equal or even more importance, and which would 
probably yield large sums, were a slight duty 
chargeable. Tobacco, Tea, a:ul Sugar are, as 
everybody knows, fruitful sources of revenue 
which, though the rates upon each may be varied, 
will, like tiie income tax, probably never be 
surrendered. Probably, however, there are com- 
paratively few people who have any idea of the 
important position fruits and liowers under 
different forms hold in the Customs tariff, and the 
unequal manner under which they are taxed ; 
thus, while dried Currants pay only two shillings 
per cwt.. Raisins are charged seven shillings — 
very unequal rates tor two varieties of the Grape, 
the presence or absence of "stones" or seeds in 
the fruit apparently making all the dili'erence, 
and yet not entirely so, for the Sultana (a stone- 
ies> Grape) is classifiod as a Raisin, while some 
of the very large Currants iinw often seen in 
the market are sometimes a puzzle even to the 
Customs authoiities, who have to decide whether 
they should be classilied as Currants or Raisins. 
Figs and Fig-cake, Plums, and Prunes are charge- 
able with the same rate as Raisins j while canned
