Under their system they get more -enjoyment and pleasure for a great deal less money. Our laborers do not all wear patentleather boots or live in brownstone .houses. When you have lived to the age of most of the European countries I fear that you will have more pauper labor here than they now .have there. I know many fear a change in our revenue system. but it must come sooner or later. and we might as wellbegin now as at any other time. Suppose you had a standing army of a million of your best men from 21 to 25 years of age. which I hope we may never see. suppose you had such a navy as many desire. and I should be glad to vote for if I -had the opportunity. though I hope we shall never need it for actual war. and suffer the people to be taxed heavily to maintain these services. .you would find a different state of affairs here from what you do now.
