The New Zealand Herald says : — Whnt is good for the goose is good for the gosling, nnd what Mr. Punch can recommend to Mr. Gladstone we may recommend to Mr. Stafford — Dear Mr. Gladstone, here is a proposal which I advise you to incorporate with your Budget, and then you can make a proportionate deduction from, the Income Tax.
