Show IF THE Republican party is the friend of labor as its orators and newspapers claim why is it that that party abolished tae income tax which fell upon the rich and not upon the laboring la-boring man Why did it abolish the tax on railroads the tax on bank deposits de-posits and other taxes of a similar na tura Was it because the working people paid these taxes being the owners own-ers of the railroads having the bank deposits and getting money incomes from their investments The history of the Republican party is that it has i relieved the rch from taxation as fast and as much as possible but the taxes on the necessaries of life on the woolen goods the sugar the lumber tae salt which the poor must have are retained re-tained and the i arty would now increase in-crease some of these taxes The friendship friend-ship of Republic for the laborers is something of which thi former should not boast above a whisper |
