officials of the State and municipality as to
enable 1t to tax all industries at WILL
ut has been paid tenfold for any benefit
it may have conferred on the State, and its
present proposition to tax the people to
erect a ferry building for it's own con-

mand which his hearers should reject at the
polls"
