Elephants were rewarded by money,

the weak and the vicious believe that

not only escape, but he rewarded fol

A farmer cannot sell a few pounds
of tobacco to a neighbor for a sheep
wash without paying a special tax,
and thoughtless ~infractions et the
law have caused men to be carried
hundreds of miles away from home
to stand trial for their offence. A
farmer cannot sell his tobacco at all
save to a licensed dealer Or by him
self getting out a license. The tax
produces a revenue of $3.50, and ii
is asserted that it costs $4,000 a
year to collect this amount. The tax
is grievous and burdensome in every
way; and yet it is commended, with
much force, that it is necessary to
the administration of the tobacco ex-
else, and that to repeal it would open
wide a door to fraud. A majority OF
the House have declared themselves
in favor of repeating the tax, but the
clean, thorough, and complete way
of settling the business is to abolish
altogether this system of internal
revenue, that fills the country with
spies, sets up an inquisition over the
business transactions of the people,
and maintains a standing army oil
