Revenue is the only legitimate object of taxation. The sovereign power to tax the people should never be used. should never be abused. to protect hearyheaded infant industries. to protect a monopolized home market. or to protect the imported paupers of one country against the unimported pau.. pers of another. I quote the phrase "pauper labor" from onu Republican friends. The power of taxation ought never to be used to guarantee or underwrite either reasonable or unreason. able profits. It should be used to raise public revenue for public purposes alone and never abused to insure private profit. either to private individuals or private monopoly.
