died into the economical situation
and reached this conclusion. First,
that the difficulties grew out abe fact
the government was not beng ad-
mlnl~tercd the way Washington and
Jefferson intended 1t to be admin
Istrred. That the present situation
was not the legitimate result and
fruitagc of the operation. of our con
Stitution, but that it had been
brought about by direct departures
from the constitution, and from the
government as our fathers made it..
The second conclusion | reached
was this: Mr.. Smith, if you are go
ing to turn reformer your first duty
is to introspcct your own life, exam
Inc and see whether YOU are not to
blame for part of the difficulty. |
concluded that was the right thing to
| Go if was going to reform anyone |
should reform myself first. SO | in
uuired into my own conduct to see
whether | was to blame for the sit
uation. and | found sure enough
that had been lending very mater
| ial aid to the decentralization of the
Government and the breaking down
OF the people. How is that" said
one of the neighbors well | will
come to that pretty soon. | found
out that this government was not
being administered according TO the
constitution. Now we will lust take
| the money question for a moment
and consider that. And now. nv
