Mr. Chairman and Fellow CjtisrBs: ^xc<
My friend reproachrd me for not dis- i rcei

lured to discuss it. I have been de- * -.1
liiiiieci and derided because I exercised irest
the right of on American citizen to d:s Uec
cuss any measure prrsentcd to the pe<>- ten<
pie. The bill was introduced and every !u;a
where hilled as the coasumatioii of all nati
the wisdom of American statesmen. If I
Yet 1 seem to have committed a crime by 1
when I ventured to discus it without a St
trie consent of the busses who are try- mot
ing to dominate ali who do not jeot
agrt-e with them. The charge that I are*

that I saut that no man ought to bcr- ida
ro.v for less than 7 per cmt. I have bor:
stood by the side of too many p'.-ople of the
the state, in the times when their souls pro^
were tried, to say that 40,000 of them whi
are scoundrels, and I brand the author on i;
of it as a liar. I have lived too long to tioQ
pander to demagogues and charlatans ish
for the highest office in th? gift cf the that
people; of the State. con:
ily frknd rebuked me because I had cuinot
amended the bill. I have those two eal i
bills hfre and will submit them to any I tc
iritelllorenr and impartial man in the j is t
."State and let him say whether in that trie'
form they were susceptible of amend- p:irt
merit. The bills were introduced, went The
through the usuul course, were report- thoi
ed on favorably, and I had an oppor- Den
tunlty to amend them if they h*d been ihe
susceptible of it. the
When uiv friend hail finished 1 was fere
disposed to jump up and say: "The po- a th
litical millenium ami the political mes- of t
stah have come." He Is a new man. line
He Is going to Congress. He's not only of oi
going to smash the national banks and of t

10 per cent, tax oil State banks my

TLe old State banks answered our pur- sbo
poses; they will again, because, as my tho;
friend probably does not know, the na- the
tionai banking Act was a copy of the met
banking Act of New York State. "What was

But this is entirely different from his hut
plan, which is to raise money direct to h&vi
the people by advancing S'j per cent, uot
The Constitution prohibits this. This urici
may seem old fogjlsh to those lalter asid
day statesmen who look upon that m- ?tht
strument as a dead letter. i regard it the:
as a living, vital, powerful protection so 1
t(s the people, because the Republicans 9r d
