Senator Vest got off a sentence in de-
bate in the U. s. Senate few DAYS since
which deserves to go on record else
where than in the congressional papers.
The western farmers will appreciate it
we are sure. He said:
Il believe that the natural resources
OF Missouri are greater than those of
any state in the union. The Senator
asks me why the state of Missouri does
not share in the profits of manufacture
ing. Simply because the capital is in
the New England States and not with
us. We are the borrowers and you are
the lenders. No one can walk down
the streets of western city without
seeing the walls placarded with notices
OF money to loan by the New England
Savings Association, the Conneclicut
Life Insurance Company and the Mas
sachusetts Deposit Company. The
western states, with their enormous ag-
ricultural and mining resources are
nortgaged to the capital of New Eng
land, which has been accumulated un.
der this system of tariff taxation"
