ANOTHER TRUST.

Judge Bell shows why men of

get into the lower house of con.
gress. He says absolute power
over the presentation. discussion,
and amendment of hieasnres Inns
been given to the Speaker aud the
Committee on rules; and this
coierie of less Than half n dozen
men entirely dominates all pro-
ceedings in the House of Repre-.
seniatives. II decides wha, shall
be considered, for how long, and
by whom; and the precise force of
any measure is determined in
advance.
Deliberation under this method
of procedure OF course becomes
ont of the question. and discus
sion sinks 10 the level Of mere
mechanical ut,-rance. so far as il
effects the House of Representa-
lives
There has not been a question
upon which parties differed IN

debated or Tint has been per-
miltrd 10 be debated on this iloor.
We are begged To debate when
some matter of no Importance is
up. We are deprived OF debate,
We arr deprived of the opportunity
of amendment, we ARE deprived of
discussion when q great question
comes MP IN this forum for final
consideration.
When the bill to strike down
the sugar industry Of this country,
which viii come before us in n

Therefore We are forced prema-
tureiy to come here aud say what
We wish 10 say about these ques-
tons before tue proper time, or

The senate is the only forum
that permits free discussion.
