penny of !zoom tax. Now the foams tax was *trasrly
used only in lima of greet seeessky. Until 1842
It was always affirmed to be • war tax. In that
year, when it was put on, the emergency waa great. There
was a great deficit, accruing from the lair or five molding
years; the deficiency for that year (1842) was 2,834,0001,
and the estimated deficiency for 1843 was put down, if the
imam tax bad not been pat on, at 10,772,0001. That wee
the prime mason for the income tax being put on, and the
improvement of our commercial code was only a aubsidiary

The "dimmed' and hardship of this tax was shown by the
