This hin Is za-s 70 Tass the national
legislature. Z. g. supported BY a major
fty Of the ur-Ir-s Of congress and has
been 50 supported since its Introduction.
It is supported by the moral sentiment
Of the nation
It's bitterly opposed by every leading

This fact is @ painful one in many as
pscts. Il shows that our newspapers are
thc~u-hly ---s- the influence Of the
gambling capital Of the sTeat exchanges,
and tina: the masses OF the people and
their rsv0es--tauvss in congress know
II. The sum total Of the influence Of the
''Tress7 On the question is therefore less
than nothing.
The people Know where the press stand
and why they stand there. Nr. HatCh's
short reply 70 the false statements Of the
flbcsters Is worth reuembeTinG:
The gentlemen in opposition content
themselves with -gicsTa-ing what is tele-
Eraphei from Leaiguarters on boards Of
trade. that TINS : an 'iniquitOus' and in
famous ueasE-s.' 1t Is a bill that sim
ply undertakes 20 suppress transactions
which the courts Of every state in the
Union and the United States have pro
nOlncei % lie wagering contracts. II Is
only infamous in That it seeks to de-
srrOy the vllsss commercial infamy that
ever CDvCeSSai the producer or rested
upon the bCsCls Of trade in this or any
other country. L has been no fault Of
tie committee On agriculture that this
bill hiss ne: had time for discussion. It
has been due 70 the ilibustgrinE and dill
atory tactics Of the opponents Of the
measure.
4 have been forced under these tactics
TO take the last chance in the interest Of
the farmers Of the United States, 95 per
cent Of whom are On record by petitions
and memorials On file in our committee
room as Eavo-ir- this measure, 70 ask 8
suspension Of the rules TO pass il, when
il requires & tyvc-chi-ds vote. I have no
right 70 question the motives Of any gen
tlsnar who votes to- OF against il, but
as surely as the world stands you can
not defeat the bill You may delay it
tcr 6 few DAYS or weeks or months, but
it viii come, as the result OF the demand
Of the people, IS surely as the sun rises
and sets tomorrow
Gambling IS gambling. II does not
matter where the transaction occurs. It
may be az . race track. q faro table, a
PoOl-Oon or On the Stock Exchange.
The time has come 70 put q stop to
gambling in the necessities Of life, to the
death Of both the producer and consumer.
The man who opposes such measure
on the ground Of too much government
Is uHcOnscioUsiy playing into the hands
Of the anarchist and betraying the peO-
pie whom they have sworn TO serve.
They are pi,ing up wrath against the
day Of wrath. When the DAY Of the
righteous wrath Of the people comes,
they Will be swept before its flood. And
it IS coming. And may the God Of the
people hasten its coming, when shams
and humbuEs and lies and swindles shall
be swept into hell b. the breath of 8
simpler and Qu-er social lie!
