The Bret defines mao's duly toward

of maasnrlng men’s love toward lb*

commands and the rectitude which
govern meal oompels. The Christian
oannot content bimwlf with a Ufa of
negative hermlesaoeae; the frulta of tbe

The object of this article, liowevor,

The subjuot of taxation la au ever
present one. Other questions may
came nod go, but this question, like
Tronvsoc'e brook, goes on forever. If
is on admitted proposition that snob
eitUso should ounirlhote to tbs tup
port of bis Govern menl to proportion
to tbn protection enjoyed by blu nod
the benefits rsoaived. If. beckisss of a
tad system of taxation, or because of
tbs faulty administration of a good
system, taxes are eoilaotad in snob a
way that some pay more than their
share, aad others leas, injustice is done
to tboee overtaedeoed, and partiality
shown to those too lightly taxed.
An unjust system, la effect, colleots
from those overtaxed and elves to
those undertaxed: or. in other words,
transfers mousy from one man’s pookrt
to another man’s pocket. The wrong
doce io this way Approaches, if It does
not reach, the proportions of grand
larceny. It tbs uojaet lew Is the
handiwork of tboee who profll by It
.and la aaactcd because of tbs advan
tage which it brings to its authors,

Tbs wrong consists io tha fact that
snaoay Is taken from one person with
out an equivalent being returned by
tha government, and given to soot bar
arltboot a coos Ids ration being de

The person wbu robs by force or by

standpoint, than the mac wbo par
posely secures legislation wblcb trans

public burden which bs blmsslf ought
to bear.
The advocates of an I Dooms but
tatiave that taxation Involves a moral
as wall aa a political question, and. be
lieving In equality before the law, they
favor an smandmant to tbe Ooaslltu
tton spsetfloally satborlslng an loooma

Can tbs opponents of such an amend
naaot plaos I heir opposition upon
moral grounds? Can the Christian
wbo lovaa his brother aocoasl from tha
assessor property rightfully subject Io
taxation or favor lax systems favorable
io blmsslf, unjust to others?

This idea wav forcibly sat forth by
Mr. McKinley In a speech made In

"He was determined to contract tba

He would have iccreased the value of

If legislation intended to make
money scarce and therefore dear,
money makes U>e master and every
