ADDRESS.

10 the Citizens of all the Giles and Towns
in the United States -
A tax unpopular among all classes IN dl-
rect violation of the provisions of the Con
stitution, has been laid by Congress upon
the people, after the period fixed for it's
| limitation by the terms of the former act,
which declared that it should be levied
and collected until 1870 and no longer, had
expired. Every effort was made by peti-
ton and remonstrance to prevent Congress
being guilty of such breach of faith, and
such an act of injustice. as TO impose this
burden on the people for any further pc
riod. These have failed. The tax is again
imposed. Popular feeling is aroused
Throughout the Country to resist it's coflec-
ton. An Association has been organized
IN Now York to take proceedings to test
the Constitutionality of the Act. Large
numbers have joined the Association. The
movement has been hailed with approba-
ton in every part of the land. AssOcla-
tions similar to that in New York are be-
ing organized in other Cities. It only re-
mains necessary TO make thIs movem6 ut
general thl oughout the Country, aud that
Associations organize in every City and
Town. that the people by united effort
may rid themselves OF "A burden uni Justly
imposed.
The law imposing this Tax cannot be
sustained if the question of its Cnnstltu-
tionality be brought before Judicial
Tribunal. Let the people assert their
rights and no longer consent to be OPP
pressed by an unjust law. The Anti-In-
come Tax Association of New York. cor
daily invite Citizens in every City and
Town, to join in the movement which
they have SO successfully inaugurated.
Associations when organized, and their
officers elected, correspond with tho
SCI rotary of this Association. All lnfor
nation or papers they need either in form
ing their organization or carrying out their
plan of operations after they are organized
I will be furnished them. Such association
can then join US in forming United AS
sociation for the whole Country.
By the plan of "a United Ass Ociati0n.
small organizations can share the benefit
of proce edings taken by the General Asso-
citation which they could Lot conduct At
their own expense. This moreover gives
, importance to the movement in showing
how wide spread is the feeling of opposi-
ton TO the Income Tax throughout the
Country, and it viii produce an effect upon
Congress such as NAY lead to repeal OF
the act even before they adjourn.

use different sizes OF hats and caps as
standard sizes. Boston and the Eastern
States use the smallest sizes, New 1orS

manufactured for one market cannot be
