UNIFORM TAxATIoN-Radicals claim that
the present system of taxation under the In.
ternal Revenue laws is equal and uniform, OPP
Grating alike in all sections of the country, aud
not favuring one at the expense of the other,
aud yet Radical Congress allows the Yankee
fisherman to have his salt free of duty for pack
ing his goldfish and mackereI. while the West.
ern farmers and pork packers, who plck beef
and pork, have to pay duty Of ITO per cent
on that article. Still they say there is no ia.
voritsm or discrimination shown. The Con.
stitutlon of the United States provides, in Sec
70, Article I, that 1.-THE Congress shall have
power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts
and excuses, to pay the debts and provide for
the common defense and general welfare OF the
United States; but all duties, imposts and ex
cises shall be uniform throughout the United
States" Levying n tax Oh salt consumed in
one section OF the country, aud relieving New
England consumers Of any tax on it, is the
Radical theory Of uniformity.
