Goods imported into this country, the

These various taxes are levied upon the

the account between the farmer and the

For the same purr ogee the bond holder
pays nothing, even though he might own
a million of dollars of government bonds.
Why ! Ilecautte, an ribolition Congress

taxed" "t . Ty or tin er a r ant orgy.
When the bond holder pays to the gen
eral government thirty mills, or three
rents on the dollar upon his bonds, he
will be taxed no higher than the farmer

Theße bonds are not only exempted
from all taxation for state and local pur
poses under the CONTRA(' r made by an
ADOLITION CONORRSLI,' but they pay
nothing to support the UNIIIRRAL govern
ment, although no CONTRACT stan,le in
the way. Tilts however is dented by
the radicals. They assert That the
bondholder paysan income lax—five per

excess of one thousand dollars a year !

paying Tellers. MILL% on the dollsr upon
