THE TARIFF AND THE CURRENCY

BY

EDWARD ATKINSON, LL.D., Ph.D.

"To lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the
citizen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private
enterprises and build up private fortunes, is none the less a robbery because it is
done under the forms of law and is called taxation."

JUSTICE MILLER, in Loan Association vs. Topeka (20th Wallace, 655).
