our Uncle Richard Bland says that
Congress will not authorize the President
to appoint monetary commission. This
for the reason that the President would
place on the commission a majority in
harmony with his own Views. Uncle
Richard seems to understand human ma
turc. Tho President would certainly
give the opposing side strong representa-
tion, and as certainly he would not give
that side majority Of the commission.
The country has spoken In favor OF the
view the President takes, not In favor OF
the view that MIR Bland takes.
