959 - L Dec. 20; ed:2/1 - "Foreign advices represent that France is in a
state of ferment over the prospect that Juarez will issue letters of
marque against her commerce. France does not look with the same compla-
cency at the damage to her own commerce from privateers as upon the
destruction of American merchantmen by rebel pirates, encouraged and
protected by French diplomacy." (2)

2050 - L Dec. 6; ed:2/2 - Leading financiers of the country, men in
authority at Washington, and people in general, are becoming convinced
that the expenses of the war should be paid by a system of taxation,
instead of by loans mortgaging future generations.
"The taxation that may be imposed on the people can be easily endured
in vicw of the fact that the value of currency must be greatly improved.
The tax is inefficient in its operation because officers who are supposed
to assess and collect it, many times fail to do so.
"The taxation on luxuries and superfluities, on imported silks, gew-
gaws and fripperies could, and should be increased. The people who re-
volve about Paris and worship the goddess Fashion have more money than
they know what to do with, and therefore should receive additional taxa-
tion." (14)
