In 1862, against Democratic opposition, a Republican congress passed an income tax law, and in 1870. as a Democratic measure, this law was repealed. In opposing this repeal. John Sherman, speaking for his party, June 22, 1870, said, “here we have in New York. Mr. Astor with an income of millions, derived from real estate accumulated year after year by mere family pride of accumulation, and we have alongside of him <”■ poor man receiving £I,OOO a

year. What is the discritnina tion of the law in this case? It is altogether against the pooi man. Everything he consumes is taxed, and yet we are afraid to tax the income of Mr. Astor Is there any justice in it? Why. sir, the income tax is the only one that tends to equalize thest burdens between the rich ant the poor.” To-day Mr. Sher man and his party are opposin', “the only tax that tends t< equalize the burdens betweer the rich and the poor,” and to day the Democratic party is try ing to pass the very law it s< violently opposed in '62 and '7O How parties do change. Should the income tax become a law and the Democrats remain it power, they will repeal it in P months. If the Republicancontrol the next congress, they will repeal this law. if it becomes a law, and a Democratic presi dent will sign the bill. Neithe of the old parlies want to equal ize the burdens of taxation be tween the rich and the poor.
