8332. TAXES, Consumption and.—
The
objects of finance in the United States have
hitherto been very simple; merely to provide
for the support of the government on its peace
establishment, and to pay the debt contracted
in the Revolutionary war. The means provided
for these objects were ample, and resting
on a consumption which little affected
the poor, may be said to have been felt by
none.—
