Repeal of the Income Tax in The New York Sun Call
The New York Sun urges Congress to abolish the income tax or at least curb it. It argues most revenue comes from customs and taxes on banks, railroads, and dividends, suggesting a broader removal could still leave a surplus. The piece cites Finance Commissioner Rollins’ figures and contemplates a whisky tax as a model for reducing other levies. It also notes Edinburgh’s rubber tire steam carriage and records 1,549,000 immigrants arriving since 1856.
