The Income Tax Nuisance.

"The returns Of the Income Tax the
present year, shows that the gross amount
collected will scarcely pay the cost of the
official service to obtain it. Why then
do Grant 4 Co., insist upon Keeping this
infection upon tie people? Simply to
retain in Office Il horde of drones who
can be made seryicoable to him when
the time comes to vote but who are
serviceable to the people at large in nc
way whatever. Time WINS, when Office
holders we're elected and appointed to
serve the people. That time has passed
AWAY, it appears. They are kept in
their places as tools of the reigning pow
er, to do little or no work, and arc sup
ported lN honest industry, to be subject
