4308. LABOR, Government and.—
It behooves
us to avail ourselves of every occasion
* * * for taking off the surcharge[of offices and expense] that it may never be seen
here that, after leaving to labor the smallest
portion of its earnings on which it can subsist,
government shall itself consume the residue
of what it was instituted to guard.—
First Annual Message. Washington ed. viii, 10.
