with the nature and laws of taxation. Had the
poorer three ffths of our voters been firmly COM
bined in determined effort to fasten the entire load
on tho more wealthy twoffths. believe success IN
their effort absolutely unattainabe, unless by direct
confsoation and spolaton, if even thus a Govern
ment may stipulate that its bonds or other certi-
Gates of Indebtedness shall be exempt from taxation
and keep faith with its creditors to the best OF It's
ability but taxation in some fOrm-lncome, Excise,
