Evils of Speculation and Proposed Income Tax
A 19th century editorial discusses state power to levy a graduated income tax, criticizing wealthy “money lords” for evading taxes and condemning speculation as a societal ill. It cites Adam Smith and catalogs gambling within boards of trade and stock markets, warning of corruption and insinuating labor as potential tax assessors. The piece ends with a teaser for further commentary and local ads about catering and fashion items.
