enactment of a farce. The Dill, 1t seemed
TO him, was based upon the idea that tne
bondholders were idiots. f this IS all OF re,
adjustment. he was sorry that he ever hao
ANYTHING to do with it. It is an absolute
and unconditional surrender on the part Q.
his friends on the other side. Ana no" II
thev must have something to 60 nome on,
il they could pass the Dill WltnouS

OF his own party were in favor OF the Dill.
But at last the bill would amount 10 no,

accent IL. and that there could be no re-
adjustment except by force. When he was

tion. He did not believe that one solitary
bondholder Of either class would accept the
proposition.
