I j It is known that .those Democratic
papers that' are most insistent for an
ncome tax ' base 2 their :i argument
mainly upon the fact that it' is the
only equal and jms tax inasmuch "as
it bears upon f the ricA upon what
1iey have upon? f ; their : property.
They say any other' kind of taxation
is unequal because it taxes the poor
who consume as much as the rich
and necessarily so,' and they have to
procure this by hard labor. - ,We ,do
not deny the force of the-t argument
pn ' favor of ,! an income tax. The
wealth of a country ought ' to be
Laxed. J England, wisest and most
prosperous i of r.cquntries, ' taxes in
pomes, and it l2Lxe& luxuries also, and
'do not forget it. The Stab thinks a,
kax on necessaries under the Tariff is
Wrong because it taxes the ' poor : as

and unequal. The Stab would there-'.
