Rensselaer Republican, Volume 27, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 June 1896 — Highest Taxed Country. [ARTICLE]

Highest Taxed Country.

Boumania is the highest taxed country in the world. Every bottle of foreign wine has to pay a shilling duty. A case of whisky went from the army and navy stores the other day. The transport tax stamps and other duties amounted to more than the price of the whisky. There is a tax even on female servants.
