1--WE believe that all taxation, state
or national, should be so laid as to
place the least restraint possible on the
labor industry and enterprise Of the
people, and that no privileged class or
private interest should be permitted
to use the taxing power for their own
ends.
1--WE denounce the inequalities Of the
war revenue act. Every patriotic
American is willing to pay his share
of the necessary expenses Of the Span
ish war, but in the war revenue act the
whole burden Of taxation falls upon the
articles consumed by the masses Of the
people and upon the commercial activ-
ity Of business men. The great accu.
mutation OF wealthfin the hands Of mil
lionaires is not made to pay its share
The masses Of the people, who possess
only one-third of the wealth OF th'
country, are burdened with the whole
Of the war tax.

indebtedness incurred and the take
levied are excessive; for at the close o
the war we find that the national treas
ury contains an enormous and danger
