nues from the beginning They would
/ put the country in debt twelve billion dol
lars. And again they are opposed to issu-
ing any interest bearing bonds. Twenty
three dollars per head circulating medium

their argument issue bonds. To buy all

you want any of it," asked the speaker
and was answered by cries OF mo, no"
/ that soon changed into applause. Con-
corning the income tax the speaker gave
an illustration that showed the defect in

were productive of Union Labor converts
and such conditions should not be pro-
/ ductive of such ideas of how to conduct
/ the affairs Of the government.
