II the people save money by the re-
duction Of duties, why not abolish the
duties altogether, and thus save all that
we now pay in that manner? A direct
tax would certainly be more equitable
as a source of revenue than any system
of indirect taxation. A direct tax would
be a tax upon wealth that was able to
bear the burden, while an indirect tax,
like duties on imports, taxes the people
in proportion to their expenses. Under
a system Of tariff for revenue, the poor
est class of people financially pay the
great bulk of the taxes, while the most
wealthy, who expend but dn infinitesimal
fraction Of their income in consumption,
pay taxes only upon the fraction thus
expended.-Topeka Advocate,
