(Inland
Revenue Report, 1910-11, page 100.) The assessment to income tax is
L40,000,000 for Ireland, as against L93,000,000 for Scotland (with
about the same population), and L878,000,000 for England.
[16] See Appendix F. The diminution is from 99,000 to 80,000.
[17] The deaths from consumption in Ireland declined from 10,594 in
1909 to 10,016 in 1910. (Irish Registrar-General's Report, 1911, p.
xxvi.)
[18] See Appendix B.
[19] The most trustworthy thermometer of Irish trade is to be found in
the volume now yearly issued by the Irish Government--the Report on the
Trade in Imports and Exports at Irish Ports. In the absence of Irish
Customs there must be some uncertainty in the tests, but the Government
figures are collected from the "manifests" of exporters and importers.
(The latest report comes up to the 31st December, 1910. Cd. 5965.)
[20] The growth of Irish trade since 1900 can be seen at a glance in
the following table (including exports and imports):--
L
1904 103,790,799
1905 106,973,043
1906 113,208,940
1907 120,572,755
1908 116,120,618
1909 124,725,895
1910 130,888,732
[21] The export of manufactured goods increased from L20,000,000 in
1906 to L26,000,000 in 1910.
