Democratic Sentinel, Volume 12, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 February 1888 — The Added Tax Upon Labor. [ARTICLE]

The Added Tax Upon Labor.

No producer is taxed who is enabled to shift the burden of his taxation upon the consumer. The consumer pays; and the workingman, who is the great consumer, pays most of all. Every cent which the tariff adds to tl\p price of coal, or wood, or salt, or sugar, or ore, or lumber is an added tax upon labor. —Philadelphia Record.
