that the result of the vote would be very
doubtful. Great interest was manifested.

Culbertson said he could not understand
why there should be such desire on the
part of the money and manufacturing in
terests for the passage OF this measure un-
less il was that the shadow OF the legisla-
ton of this congress had been cast over
them. With the Mckinley bill absorbing
the earnings Of the people in order to en-
rich the manufacturers, with the silver
hill, which lodged in the secretary of the

struck down at one fell blow the unsur-

bar.
Buchanan said from personal expert
ence his opinion was that the worst thin,
that could befall a farmer was to qui

perform.
Oats of Alabama, opposed the bill an,
at the same time frankly admitted il wa
one OF the best and most carefully consid
