MI. Watson Of Georgia took advan-
tnge OF the latitude OF debate to refer

OF the country. He argued that the
prices OF the products Of the farmer
have been greatly decreased owing TO
the financial laws now In
force. Ho argued against class
legislation, which was the ruin Of
the country, hu said. According
TO the report OF the superintendent Of
the census every man, woman and
child In the land was entitled 10 $1,000,
but under tho law tbs money had been
dumped into the hands Of those who
had special privileges. For the last
twenty-five years tho national banks

Mr. Watson was frequently interrupted
by Mr.. Funston Of Kansaf, whom he
dubbed "Furmer Funstou,D and the
colioquy between the gentlemen cre-
aIet great merriment throughout the
House.
After further debate the committee
rose ana tho House adjourned.
