The Income Tax.

Once only in the history of the United
States has the federal government found
it necessary to impose and attempt to
collect an income tax. That was
under the stress Of civil war. The tax
was forced by the enormous expenditures
of a government engaged in military
and naval operations on gigantic scale.
The income tax was a war measure,
"a last resort, a revenue expedient obnox-
ious in itself, but justified by the
necessity that knows no choice.
A Democratic administration has now
been in power for a little more than six
months; six months of profound peace.
- Has Democratic rule for six months
brought the country to condition eoui-
valent to that resulting from the stress
of war, with half the country in arms to
conquer the other half? Has Democratic
rule proved such a misfortune that resort
is necessary for the second time in our
national experience TO the calamity tax.
the extreme expedient and last resort
of the taxing power?
Will the Democratic administration or
any Democrat i'll Congress, confess that
such is the case?
Yea would it not be better to
resort first to revenue tariff, as proyi
ded by the Chicago platform? Or in
case that would not suffice, why not
impose direct tax upon the several
states IN accordance with article l. sect
ion 2, and clause of the constitutions
Anything is better than a war fax
