not act this bill through the Congress
elected In 1896, they had to walt until
1898. And what happened In 1882 We had

declared he did not know what to do and
hoped somebody would know more than
be did. He asked Congress to do some

was to push through the lower house a
bill to create money trust more potent

from taxation that bill provided for les
