To this add s Sc, the tax on

it will be found that the tan,
which laboribg man paid, on

used amounted to thirteen dol

Thi. statement I suppose to be below
the real amount. Each laboring man,
however, will Judge for himself, aud
make such alterations in tie quantity oi
each article, as he may think proper,
you see then my fellow citizens, what
large tax you insensibly paid to the ge-
neral government befure the war vas de-
clared. a considerable part of this was
laid on in Washington's and Adams
adminlstl alton but it was much increas-
I'd in Jeacrson's time, in consequence
of repeating the excise or wbiskey tax,
TO oblige eur western republican breth-
rem, who pay very little of the duties on
foreign goods. Since the declaration Of
war, the !mpost tax has, by an act OF
congress, been doubled, to carry the war
on. This doubling of the impost &C
counts in some degree, for the present
high price of groceries and other i'm
ported goods; and thus it is, that the
poor man who, before paid upwards Of
thirteen dollars year, nos pays more
than twenty-six dsllars What dispro-
portionate, what an enormous tax this
is! Let US suppose a laboring man to
earn two hundred dollars year, and, if
we make allowance for Sunday. sholldav
/ training days, & rainy days, two hundred
dollars is ssmuch on the whole as he can
earn. Twenty six dollars is more than
an eighth of this sum, and this beside
state tax, poor tax and county tax.
Tweny-six dollars year, more or
or less, for poor man to pay out of his
small earnings, thirteen of which to
support a war from which he Can
derive no possible benefit. is certainly
great grievance. Besides, the war, as
before observed, must necessarily lessen
his wages, and his opportunities of OBJ
tanning employment. To contradict this
statement, you will be told that you do
This estimate, and nearly if not
quite all the rest, ought to be at least
doubled.
