4890. LUXURIES, Taxation of.—[further continued].
The government which
steps out of the ranks of the ordinary articles
of consumption to select and lay under disproportionate
burthens a particular one, because
it is a comfort, pleasing to the taste, or
necessary to health, and will therefore be
bought, is, in that particular, a tyranny.—
