The safety of the poor man in this Govern- ment is the justice of the principle embodied in all measures of legislation. If you may dis- criminate for him you may discriminate against him ; and perhaps it will not be long, if we go on at this rate, basing our legislation upon the ground that. We intend to impose the burdens of the Government upon the rich and exempt the poor from them, until some man may be found bold enough to claim that that doctrine shall be carried to its logical consequenc...es, and that if the rich pay all the taxes taxation and representation shall go together. Is there any man here willing to advance that doctrine now? And yet the poor man who is appealed to for the purpose of imposing this tax upon others because they are rich, had better look to the ground upon which that principle of taxation shall be established. We had better trust to his intelligence and sense of justice and do right, than fear that his indignation over a just measure may be swelled into a Tarpeian rock, from which the occupants of the Capitol may be thrown.
