match during their visit, and they have
resolved TO adhere to this course. They

How is it? How do inflationists
who are clamoring for an increase of
paper currency, account for the fact
that the banks and capitalists are
burdened with a surplus of "cash on
hand" and are ~loaning freely at rates
ranging from tWo-and-a-half to five
per cent. per annum? If business has
become dull and depression general

will Mr.. lntlationist explain WHY
those who need more money do not

necessities, while it can be done at
lower rates than ever before in the
history OF the country? In other
words cannot every business man in

he has the security to offer? And if
ne has not this indispensable requis-

cidcnts may occasion an annual eX-
penditure of fifty cents or a dollar in
taxes. But this includes the entire
list of articles taxed, excepting spir-
its. beer and tobacco in their various
forms. But the latter articles are
not included among the n~ercssaries
of life; they are luXUricS: thew paw
nearly tie whole OF internal revenue
taxes, and those who indulge in them
are the taxpayers. And yet with
taxes added the consumption of to-
barco, spirits and beer, is annually
increasing. Dealers in those articles
do not add the amount of the tax to
the cost Of their goods, but they fix a
! profit on the tax itself, in the same
proportion as they do on the original
! price for the article before the tax is
added. In other words, the tax pays
the same rate OF profit rs the goods
aHd get tie c0N&uGnptt0W increases. The
dealer never complains of the tax; he
makes money out of it, and the slayc
to artificial appetite pays it all. If
the tax falls more heavily upon the
Democratic party than upon any 9TH
cr class. it is only because they are
larger consumers of those articles.
Abstinence is 2 perfect remedy,
against which neither the govern
mcnt or the Republican party will
interposc an obstacle. If RepubIi-
cans feel the burden they have Only
Ito "curtail their daily use of these
worse than useless articles, and their
taxes will become less. The payment
of internal revenue taxes is a matter,
therefore. wholly within the control
of each individual: and if his appetite
causes him to contribute to the sup
port Of the government, he does it
from choice, not from compulsion.-
