Excerpt from The Match Tax: A Problem of Finance
At the present time, we cannot give too much attention to the principles and rules of taxation Which we accept. We are at the critical point where one great and true policy has been nearly, if not quite, accomplished; and without any strong guiding principle like that of free trade before us, we are in danger of drifting instead of carefully steering, in our financial course. If one half of the doctrines and arguments which were brought against this Match Tax should be accepted as really true and cogent, the balance of our financial system would be in danger of complete derange ment. I consider it therefore a matter of no slight importance to pass under calm and impartial examination the various opinions hastily uttered during the recent warm discussion; and I will attempt to estimate fairly both the real objections which may be urged against the tax, and the reasons which may be found to exist for the selec tion of such a new impost at the present time.
