We have surveyed the land. and made every part of or broad country the home of civihization end enterprise. What. sir. are the proportions of the taxes of this day to the eproings and accunmulations of thepeople to what they were when despair drove back to his fatherland the immigrant who had sought in vain for the means of living in this counry under our free institutions and ourbeautiful flag!

The taxes of a country are the annual draught it makes upon the annual earnhgs of the people. and during those same ten years of alleged extravagance they paid inone year e490.000.000. andin the next nearly .$450.000.000. and in those two years leaned from their accumulated profits $t.000.000.000 to support the Government against the southern wing of the (emocratic party.
