It was first published in the New York Packet on January 8, 1788, under the pseudonym Publius,^[1] the name under which all The Federalist papers were published. This is the last of seven essays by Hamilton on the then-controversial issue of taxation. It is titled "The Same Subject Continued: Concerning the General Power of Taxation".

Summary edit

Hamilton details the government's need for a body of tax collectors knowledgeable of every district, so as to establish a value to be taxed. He claims that this will be accomplished by using the same tax collectors as the state governments do. Hamilton argues against a poll tax.
