REVENUE RRPoRM AND REPUBLICAN SIM
PIo1TY.
II is the duty OF those serving the PEG
pie 10 public place to closely limit public
expenditures to the actual needs OF the
government economically administered,
because this bounds the right Of the
government to exact tribute from the
earnings OF labor, or the property Of the
citizen, and because public extravag anoe
begets extravsgsnce among the pr ople.
We should never be ashamed Of the sim
plioity and prudential economies which
are best suited to the operation OF Q
republican form Of government, and most
compatible with the mission Of the Amer.
lean people. Those who are selected for
limited time TO manage public sffairs
are still Of the people, and may do
much by their example 10 encourage oon.
sistenoy with the dignity Of their official
functions, that plain way Of life hioh
among their fellow citizens aids integrity
and promotes thrift and prosperity.
