THE CONSTITUTION

protects the states; but the constitution has
been changed, and it may undergo addi-
tional modification when the people want
it. The Senate is the controlling body,
and the Senate, influenced largely by the
New England Representatives, has put a
heavy burden on the west, and, for that
matter upon the whole country, by sub
sidizing monopolies and giving them
growth. The great producing regions
may become tired of this and make q
change"
