Roger Q. Mills

“I want to see the manufacturer and the farmer walk hand in hand, and I want to see the burdens of government equally distributed. That is the doctrine of the Democratic party.”

“The tariff is a tax.”

“Every dollar of federal taxes that is not required for the economical administration of the government is a dollar wrongfully taken from the people.”

“We are trying to relieve the people of their burdens. We are not trying to destroy any industry.”
