During the war Eve hundred thousand good
and brave citizens shed their blood to pre-
serve the government and to give prosperity
and happiness to the nation.
Since the war one hundred and fifty thousand
bondholders, including the national banks,
the shoddy contractors and the foreign capi-
talists, are drawing the blood Of the country
and crying out gold gold gold while the
nation is struggling against bankruptcy.
These leeches have drawn interest in gold,
upon which they have realized heavy premiums
while they bought msny of our bonds at forty

Tnxntlon md Revolution.

The causes which produced ancient revolu-
lions are no. fully understood; but those
within the range of modern history have, in
many instances, sprung from the efforts of the
people to free themselves from those burdens
of taxation which bad government has imposed
upon them. Nothing bears 80 heavily upon
the resources and the progress of individuals
as the fact that very large portion Of all
their gains goes to the memorable tax gatherer.
necessity for the enormous expenditures which
demand such levies. From complaints, the
whole nation, impelled by the same force and
seeking common focus, which is revolution,
find In this panacea for their ills.
The fifteenth century gives US an instance in
the German people, who were goaded to
premature revolution by the pressure of Papal
taxation. In the person Of Tetzel we have a
tax gatherer par excellence, whose promises Of
heaven were In proportion to the amount
which he could force by religious fanaticism
from the people. The results were the first
great liberal and spiritual outbreak in Europe.
In England forced loans to carry on the
Spanish war, and finally the "Tonnage and
Poundage BILL" set the revolutionary ball in
motion, which did not stop until the head
Of Charles I. rolled upon the scaffold.
France, in the prelude to her great
revolution, presents no less trist picture Of
the results Of oppressive taxation. The people
saw no exit from II except by the sword, and
with the sword they cancelled their debts.
Our own revolution OF 1875 gathered its force
from taxation. South Carolina notification
arose from taxation. Our late rebellion, in It's
inception, found much Of its strength in the
discriminating tariff, which was an idea
around which the Southern leaders could
rally the masses Spain rumbles with
revolution to-day, because the people can
not stand the onerous imposts which corrupt
administration imposes. Mexico has just fin
ished fly years war to rid herself from the
assessments which the clergy made upon air
her capital and energies. Cuba, at our very
doors, il fast being forced into revolution, be-
cause II IL impossible for her 70 prosper under
the. burdens imposed.
Now OF ourselves in 1867. As we glance
back at the history Of taxation we find that We
have taken 1t up expsrimentally, determined
70 solve the problem Of raising revenue If II
costs us half dozen revolutions or the disn-
tcgraton Of our nationality. We commence
after the fashion OF 1898, and must run through
the phases up to the time we can say that the
problem is solved. In 1898 Sully stated that
out Of -5o,oooOoo livres collected by taxation
from the French people, only thirty million
found its way into tho public treasury, 1t

This point in the narrative clears up mat
ter generally stated, but whose truth has been

would bs an interesting scrap OF knowledge to
m Of the United States to know what proper
ton Of the revenues collected actually inures TO
the benefit Of the government Would 1t be
safe for the government to invite revolution
by placing taxation before the people In its
true light!
Our military government Is to-day coating US
one hundred and twenty millions Of dollars
annually, and yet we maintain no armed force
as :: protection against foreign powers, but
rather 70 dominate ourselves and Increase the
costs Of government Our total taxes swell to
the enormous figure Of one thousand millions
Of dollars annually-an impost Of gigantic pro-
portions in comparison with that Of any other
country. There Is not European Power ex-
isting that could stand proportionate burden
without revolution and our government should
understand that to be lavish In further expen-
diture is to invite reputation, . complete over
turning of the order of things now existing, and
even new rebellion. As matters now go the
national banks, riding high upon the political
tide that forced them to the surface are reap
ing thirty millions Of dollars annually from the
bone and sinew of the country, which is heavily
taxed to pay their enormous dividends. In
fact, they represent hydra sapping the public
prosperity.
In the train Of enormous taxation follow all
those evils which produce feverish con-
dition of the country. Taxation to excess
means degradation. poverty, ignorance and its
attendant evils. II means a drawing Of very
broad lines between rich and poor, and the
creation of classes-a powerful aristocracy
and lower class, which bubbles into war
when oppression can no longer be borne. II
means governmental corruption in its worst
forms-an increase Of spoils, and, conse-
quently, hotter contest for Office at political
elections It means the creation Of an army
Of oficeholders who feed upon the public
purse without, as individual members OF the
nation, producing anything for its support 1t
means the subversion of all those principles
which we have 80 long labored to keep in
prominence as the true bases Of our repub-
licanism. This we point out to the people, and
tell them to guard we'll the future. The men
they placed in power to carry out the demands
of the times and 0verturn rebellion were well
selected and did their work bravely. Now.
however, other issues demand brains fitted to
meet them, and brains Of another class must
handle the great questions that follow orr war.
Failing to recognise the truth of this we shall
lapse again into revolution to settle by the
sword those questions to which rebellion gave
birth.
