council and In war, in the formation and defense
and perpetuation OF our magnificent Institutions
we are here In the immediate neighborh0od OF one
OF those great historic events that was among the
most potential agencies in settling title TO the
great Northwest. II we had stood where we stand

note also the fact that, Notwithstanding this
complaint OF excessive revenue there are some
who suggest that they are not able adequately TO
arouse the popular indignation against excessive
taxation, because they cannot disclose to the
people when OF how they are paying the taxes.
and subtly that these, our plain people, don't
know what they are paying them at ali. lap
