measure fraught with mischief from the
operi'g sentence to the close, measure
that represents nothing lucid in theory,
nothing of the practical, nothing of political
purpose save desire for sectional revenge; q

over the country. Yet the concerted action
of the administrator organs il eng m ,de
not to improve upon even the utterly inex-
cusable features of the bill, but to force
the drastic dose down the throa.s of the
people. The business men are told, not
that the bill is a remedy for past ills-that
is too prepo.terous for intelligent writer's
and speakers now to assume concerning the
gigantic imrOsture when appealing to the
intelligent business interest,-but that The ir
business will be improved by having the
present uncertainty en'ed. This is the same
kind Of an unprincipled, cowardly cry II at

South to secede would have been simply to
prolong the Inevitable struggle and make
