and silver and make paper money instead;

none of which were ever passed by the
committees to which they were referred.
Mr.. Long asked What evils have these
bills rendered to correct?" las the evils

are the ouly evils he has
attempted to correct we must presume
they are the only evils that exist" He
showed that Mr.. Simpson never offered
any amendment to the interstate COM
merce law aud had never appeared before
the committee to secure the advantages Of
the law for his constituents. He dwelt on
the congressman's neglect to introduce
resolutions for opening the Cherokee strip
until the close Of the session made IL too
late for consideration and action. Mr..
Long said: II believe subtreasury aud

returned on their record in voting against
this bill.

many progressive men. In conclusion Mr..
Long made an appeal to he honor Of the
men of Wichita to stand by the interests of
their city, their state and their country.
