The Government in late years. under the policy adopted by the Administration. has come to tax the people each year on an average $10 a head for the support of National Government. This amount falls heavily on the laboring man and his family. when to it must be added the State. county. and municipal taxes necessary to support local administration. A large share of the national taxes is expended for the luxury of a colonial policy that tends to bring closer to us and into our dominion an Asiatic cheap and competing labor which lowers the level of our labor and makes it less able to bear its burden of tax. The annexation of every new island opens a flood gate to cheap labor. It will be a menace so long as boats ply between the ports.
