4399. LAND TAX, Proposed.—

They[the
federalists] already talk * * * of a land Tax.
[This] will probably not be opposed. The
only question will be how to modify it. On
this there may be great diversity of sentiment.
One party will want to make it a new course of
patronage and expense.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iv, 234. Ford ed., vii, 237.
