violates the Just principles of tax
ation, aud make's the government a
facile in, tftrume'Vit in the hands of
private Interesta; aud banking and
currency system based upon the ne
cessity of the government to sell
lt? hondrt r>0 years ago and perfectly
adapted to Concentre! hig cash and
reatricting credits; an industrial
system, which, take It on, all its
sides, financial aH well us adminis
trativo, holds capital in leading
atrlngH, restricts the liberties and
limits the opportunities of labor,
and exploits without renewing or
conserving the natural resources of
the country; a body of agricultural
activities never yet given the ef
ficiency of great business undertak
ings or served as it should be thru
the instrumentality of science taken
directly to the farm, or afforded the
facilities of credit beat suited to its
needs; water courses undeveloped,
waste places unreclaimed, forests
untended, fast, disappearing without
