Income tax wasn't a thing till like 1913. Before that time wlthe federal government was mostly funded through tariffs.
Taxes were very much a thing.
There was tariffs and duties, excise taxes on some AG products, early developments had some sales and building taxes, there was multiple pre 1913 attempts at income taxes as well. The first came in 1861 to pay for the war.
