ed in both the police and taxing power;
but the grant of power to tax would
not authorize the imposition of a burden
in it's nature and purpose prohibitory."
For the protection afforded the citizen
by the government taxes are demanded.
They are simply compensation for a
service rendered. The power to tax is
vested in the legislative department OF
the government. 1t was put there by
the people of the states which were to
become the United States, upon the
adoption of the Constitution. The
power to levy taxes is grant from the
people of the several states to the Fed
eral government of the United States
This is recognized universally and it is
made especially prominent by the pro-
vision that all bills for raising revenue
or appropriating revenues must origin
ate in the popular branch of Congress,
the House of Representatives. But
while the power to levy taxes is entirely
within the legislature, the question as to
whether it has overstepped its power to
levy taxes must always be finally de-
termined by the courts. There is how
ever one undisputed and universally ad-
mitted limitation to this taxing power.
The very first and the inexorable re.
quirement as to lawful taxation is that
it shall be laid exclusively for public
purpose. The Congress Of the United
States may determine, temporarily,
what public purpose is. But Congress
is not infallible in it's decisions, nor at
all conclusive, because always subject
to revision by the judiciary.
The Grout Bill.
Is the tax upon butterine and oleo-
margarine, proposed by the Grout bill,
exclusively for public purpose? Is it
not cunning device for using the pow
er to tax for the purpose of destroying
one industry in order to encourage and
build up another industry? In the first
section of the bill there is an attempt to
delegate the power to regulate COM
merce between the states by making
"all articles known as oleomargarine,
butterine, imitation butter or imitation
cheese, or any substance in the SEM
blance of butter or cheese and
not made exclusively of pure and un-
adulterated milk and cream, transported
into any state or territory, and remain
ing there for use, consumption, sale or
storage therein, shall upon the arrival
within the limits of such state or terri
tory, be subject to the operation and
effect of the laws of such state or terri
tory enacted and to the exercise of it's
police powers to the same extent and in

ly administered government who are
utterly without taxes.
First Power Granted.
The founders of the government
Of the United States understood
perfectly we'll that this republic,
like all other forms of govern
ment, would be born penniless, COM
posite pauper, and that only by taxation
of it's citizens would it ever acquire
revenues sufficient for it's own admins
tration. Therefore the first power
granted by the people to Congress, which
is simply their agent, in that instrument
from which each of the three great de-
partments of government derives all it's
authority, is in these words, exactly
copied from the original and official
parchment in every particular:
"The Congress shall have power to
lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts
and Excises; to pay the Debts and pro-
vide for the common Defense and gen.
eral Welfare of the United States but
all Duties and Excises shall be uniform
throughout the United States"
"Thus it is seen that Congress is given
power to lay taxes in order to get money
with which to pay the debts and pro-
vide for the common defence and gen.
eral welfare of the United States.
That was the opinion and purpose
of every member of the Fed.
eral convention that framed the
Constitution in the summer of
1887; of Alexander Hamilton, who
was first called upon, as secretary of the
treasury, officially to interpret it; of
Daniel Webster, often called the "Great
Expounder" of the Constitution; OF
John Marshall, the great Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court; of Story, the
first copious and most distinguished
commentator upon the text; Of George
Bancroft and George T. Curtis, the
learned and elaborate historians of the
text; and, in short, of everybody else
who has earned any right in any way
to have an opinion on any such matter
of political Interpretation"
The power to tax is plainly therefore
vested in governments solely for public
purposes. To support the government
by revenues taken from the people b.
fair and equal taxation is the sole OBJ
ject for which this power may be right
fully exercised. Taxation cannot there
fore be equitably or properly laid TO

official than at a
public policy, especially when suffering
from his acts, and the temptation is
generally irresistible to put the blame
upon the man rather than upon the law
which he carries out. But it is one of
the striking, yet characteristic, qualities
of Mr.. A. B. Farquhar's letter which
The CONSERVATIVE prints in this issue,
that, instead of making a target of
Secretary Gage because of the ruling
which led to prompt tariff retaliation by
Russia, Mr.. Farquhar goes farther back
and aims at the policy itself which
dictated the Dingley tariff. No one is
more entitled to a hearing upon ques-
tions relating to American industries
than Mr.. Farquhar. He is not only
great manufacturer, but great export
er; not only a successful and ar-seeing
business man, but truly patriotic and
spirited American, who scorns to
ask for favors at the expense of his
fellow citizens. The time seems at last
to have come when our business and in
dustrial community must begin to feel,
by experience, the force of what such
men as Mr.. Farquhar have long pointed
out. They cannot study the situation
fairly without coming to his conclusion,
that the evils which they are now dis
corning, the trusts, the defeat of reci-
procity treaties, the hostile tariff acts of
foreign countries, are the logical and in
evitable outcome of protection.

House amendment to the famous House
Bill /. being the $4,000 appropriation
bill for this sessions expenses and the

said that the reason this was done was
that there was strong question about
the legality of appropriating money by

cradle discussion the committee was
