The most stupid thing to me in the
whole bill Is that 80 per cent. advanced
on products in the early part of the

mittee of three-a dreamer, specula-
tor and a scurvy politician--wh0w want
ed to provide a popular scheme for
broken down politicians. Senator
Vance introduced it into the Senate by
request. lie was silent about it for
four months, and at the end Of which
time he denounced it. In the mean
time though the Alliance papers and
tramp oratOr%crled 1t aloud that Sena-

measure, but McCue and Waddill
drafted it. The five cents you send up

Mr.. Thomas Whittlo, in the audience
