It was not onstitutional un when it went before the supreme court for the first time. It did not become un- constitutional until « judge changed his mind ; and we cannot be expected to know when a judge will change his mind. The income tax is n just law, It sim- ply intends to put the burdens of gov ernment justly upon the backs of the people. I am in favor of an income tax. When I find a man who is not willing to pay his share of the burden of the government which protects him, I find a man who is unworthy to enjoy the blessings of a government like ours. He says wo are opposing the national bank currency. It is true. If you will will find that he said that in searching history be could find but one parallel to Andrew Jackson.
