Mr.. Funston of Kansas, inquired why it
was that If the national banking busine- was
so profitable they had surrendered Their cur
rency.
Mr.. Watson replied that it was because the
banks had run up the premium OF those bonds
70 an enormous figure and II was better for !
them to be engaged IN that business than IN |
carrying on their regular banking business;
The AGRICULTURAL interest of the country had |
been sadly neglected. The strongest defense
this country ever could have was the strong
arm of its citizenship. The best bulwark OF |
constitutional government was that II recog- |
nized no special ca-es but considered the H.
terest of all classes. whether white, black or
RED men. Loud applause

committee rose at b o'clock. The House ad- |
Journed until tomorrow.
