Synopsis

A clear look at how taxes, tariffs, and government reform shape everyday life and national prosperity.

This book argues for freer trade and simpler government services. It questions high tariffs and explains how tax systems affect workers, farmers, and industry. It also lays out ideas for a fairer, more efficient approach to national finances and civil service.

Written in a straightforward, accessible style, the work presents historical context and practical arguments for reform. It invites readers to weigh how policy choices influence prices, employment, and public responsibility.

• Explore the roots and effects of protectionist policies on the economy


• Compare direct taxes with tariff-based revenue and the case for reform


• Understand how tax administration can boost fairness and public trust


• Consider proposals for a leaner, more transparent civil service

Ideal for readers interested in economic history, public policy, and reform-minded discussions about how a nation should manage taxes and trade.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Tariff System has long been an impediment to our National prosperity, and a most fruitful source of sectional strife. It has been perverted from the purpose for which it was adopted to furnish revenue; and has become a most corrupt and formidable obstacle to the pursuit of useful and honorable enterprise. The Custom House and Internal Revenue System is rapidly increasing and concentrating patronage and power under the control of the Federal Government. These are already gigantic in proportions, corrupt in character, and most dangerous to our liberties. To wield this patronage and this power is, more than all things besides, the stimulus for party supremacy, but it is the very element which no party can safely be trusted to control. The Federal Constitution provides for Direct Taxation by apportionment of Government expenses among the several States according to population and representation. Taxes so apportioned may be collected through the agency of the respective States by whatever method they may severally prefer. In this way the services of thousands of federal officeholders will be dispensed with, thus effecting a complete reform in these departments and preparing the way for thorough purification in other departments Df Government.
