a.r Carlisle saws. Il have thus
-... .... aS briefly as the nature of the
H.u.d permit, some of the rea-
+-F think the proposed plan for
ut the farmers would Doe in-
instead of beneficial, not only Co
.at to an other people of the
Hut 10 would be uncandid not
distinctly before closing thi>c
ALTON that even If it could be con-
y shown that this or any othor
scheme, would be peculiarly
to any particular class
r people would still be-
--t0s opposed 20 it's adoption.
u my opinion it would be but
"l4r and dangerous departure
-c principles upon which our po-
Institutions are founded 10
u fact, the longest step yet
,le time of peace toward the
..atou OF power I'm the hands OF
lgrai Government and the sub
lle private affairs of the peo-
-c supervision and control OF "a
and irresponsible authority.
