FL4651379

to appeal as another Court might
have been as impenetrable by
reason as the magistrates.

The iniquity of graduated
taxation (as they call the increase
of the percentage on large sums) has
I am sorry to say gained a footing
in England in Harcourt's Financial
Bill. The United States Supreme
Court has the honour of having presented
the unfairness in America.

Arithmetic graduates the taxation
fairly by making the man who pays
on £10000 pay ten times as much
as the man who has £1000.

That is graduation, but Harcourt's
scheme is pillage. But here am I
boring you with poll [political] economy.

I saw the red rain here (being kept in
the house by the doctor) but it did not
appear so red in the air, as one would
have thought on seeing the red spots
it left on clothes, and the red colour
on the smooth pavement.

Kindest regards to you all for the
New Year. Yours ever most sincerely
