Iation, the people will be compelled to pay
And this enormous taxation is not to be u.s.
sessed on property, but upon mouths and 0acksj
and the man who has got the most mouths to
feed, and backs to clothe, has got to pay the
most of the debt-not the man who has got
the most real estate, and stocks, and money! f!
These facts are worthy of consideration by
the American people. We might make eur
reflections upon this subjectj we might call to
mind tho cruelty of such tax, and the opera
ton il will have on millions Of families in our
land-depriving them of that comfort aud con
venience which, for this dreadful taxation,
they might enjoy-but we iorbear. The mon
ey, we, the people mast PaU we cannot help
il now nor, with the present intelligence of
community, can we expect that it will be paid
by direct taxation. Mo- we must pay all, and
pay it in a manner the most expensive and
unjust. But if it shau lead us to see the folly
and wickedness of the war, and its disastrous
on the morals and happiness Of the
people, some good may yet come Of the great
calamity which has befallen our nation.
