8310. TAXATION, Politics and.—
The
principle of the present [federalist] majority
is excessive expense, money enough to fill all
their maws, or it will not be worth the risk
of their supporting. * * * Paper money
would be perilous even to the paper men.
Nothing then but excessive taxation can get
us along; and this will carry reason and reflection
to every man's door, and particularly
in the hour of election.—
To John Taylor. Washington ed. iv, 259.
