"He might have added that employ
ment is difficult TO be obtained; that
labor is badly rewarded; that industrial
pursuits are an hampered; that enter
prising men engaged in business are
standing on the verge of bankruptcy
that interest is enormously high; that
the tariff is most oppressive; that the
internal taxation is most unequal, un-
Just and Oneroas; that dead capital is
exempted, and active capital and labor
are weighed down." 7oe- @ 'l- l'.7s
