o,nressiye upon the farmer and laborer.

tho measure under consideration.
Mr.. STEVENS opposed the bill. Its
.,r,c, would be to put a constable on the
rack of the poor man, who would have to

amend by making the sum $50. 1t was
,ruc that there was at present an exemp-
finn amounting TO $500, but there were
already measures introduced to produce that
and the privileges of the people were be-
;ny pared down inch by inch; he believed a
stand should be made right here.

support of the bill. Everything that was
Of advantage to the great wheat industry
