IN power, they have admitted rotten
borough States to swell their majority in
the Senate. Three States thus admitted
have not as many inhabitants as Mr..
Bunn's district. Other States were de-
MED admission because they were Demo
cratic. In the House they have passed
the Force bill. Though We have SO far
prevented its passage in the Senate, it
IS nomentarily in danger Of passage;
and then they can count out our repre-
sentatives. They are trying to change
the rules in the Senate. Unless I am
mistaken, predict that our people will
not submit to force legislation.
Reforms ought to begin where agri-
culturists would be soonest helped. I
say this because it is Just [ would not
advocate legislation even at the expense
of monopolists. I would advocate laws
of eternal Justice. Agriculture is the
greatest industry Of this couutry-and
} yet | have never known a national law
that affirmatively helped agriculture.
Many of the things of which you if:stl !,
complain, can be remedied by StaIe gov.
ernment.
In the matter Of transportation, il
may be said that the little profit the
farmer has IS taken from him by the cost
3 of transportation. The Legislature
3 should look to all except interstate com
5 merce. We ought to look to the State
! Government and to ourselves Whene7e
: We can.
When the bankers we're Ia trouble, tn
{ Force bill was laid aside to help thes
! Republican friends. He criticized th
l late silver bill, and showed that it wa
not in the interest of the people. Il
d riddied the Republican Senate's measur
r of financial relief. The Democratic sur
plus is like Ham Brietman's party
