few of these heresies for the public

P. P. Representatives in Congress
are introducing all sorts of bills for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of special
classes. Senator PETER now has 4
dill before the Senate asking an ap
preparation of sixty-fve million dol
airs for the paupers of the United
States, which according to stats
tics, would be $1,000 each for every
pauper in the land. If such legis-
alton could be secured what an in
1ucement it would be to pauperism
If such men as PETER had control o.
this government they would bank
rupt it in twenty-four hours. Not
many months ago this man intro
1uced a bill to loan the farmers Of
Indiana one hundred million dollars,
and he, with his colleague
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, opposes
the passage of the Wilson tariff bill
because it takes the protective tar
if off the sugar beet industry of
Kansas. In the house of Congress
not many months ago out of ten
third party members seven voted to
Increase the pensions of the federal
soldiers one hundred and ten mill
lon dollars, and just the other day
Congressman Davis, a populist OF
Kansas, introduced a bill in Con
yress asking an appropriation of
fifty million dollars for Coxey's army
IF tramps, yet these are the fell
Ows who claim to be opposed to all
class legislation, and to extrava-
yance in government. They are
he fellows who holler themselves
loarse about the tax-burdened
people, and yet they seek to fasten
lpon them greater burdens by Civ
ing to certain classes and interests
