We deolare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the FED Ell AL GOVEBNMENT HAS HO OONBWTUTIoWAi POWEB TO IMPOSE AND OODDECT TAKIEF DOTIES EXCEPT FOB THE PUBPOSB OF REVENUE ONLY, and WO demand that the collection oT such taxes shell be limited to the necessities of the gOTernment when honestly and economically administered. ” From N ational.Domopratic Platform. “To layfwith one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other bestow it upon favored individuals to build up private fortunes, is none the less robbery because it is done under the form of law and is called taxation.

Beyond cavil, there can bd no lawful taxation which is not laid for public purposes.—Opinion of Justice Miller, (Reoublioan) of the United States Supreme court.
