All right, we now look. This is what we see:
She compels her railway corporations to pay an Income Tax upon the assessed valuation of $190,000,000.
She compels the Coal Barons and the marble quarry owners to pay Income Tax upon an assessed valuation of $95,000,000.
She compels the landlords, bankers and merchant princes to pay Income Tax upon an assessed valuation of $900,000,000.
In this manner she forces her wealthy classes to pay on property and income nearly two hundred million dollars annually toward the support of the government!
Her tariff duties are levied exclusively upon articles which are not necessaries of life.
Not a dollar of Tariff need the poor man pay to live in perfect comfort.
This tariff upon the non-necessaries amounts to $170,000,000.
From intoxicating liquors the revenue is $150,000,000.
Thus it will be seen, by a look at England, that the poor man can feed himself, clothe himself, build a house to live in, and supply it with necessary furniture without having to pay one dollar of national tax.
