The intention of the law was to do what justice would have required to be done in 1789, to raise the larger part of the national income directly from those who were most able to pay and not indirectly from consumers who must pay upon the necessaries of life.^ At any other time in American history, with the possible exception of the Civil War years, the passage of any such law would have ruined i"V. S. statutes at Large," XXXIX, Pt. 1, page i. WARS AND RUMOURS OF WARS 163 the leaders who sponsor...ed it.
