Pamphlet

Title: Facts and Figures for the Hour

Recognizing that money is power, federal taxes have always caused problems for citizens. Other countries have much higher excise and revenue taxes, and yet the U.S. competes with them in every field. He compares foreign money, duties, and taxes with American systems of the same. He examines the recent debt and resources of the U.S. with attention to the loyal states as responsible for assuming the whole burden. The West holds great natural financial potential. The great rate of U.S. growth indicates its future
