Senate, Won have the Judgment Of the
President, if YOU agree with these judgments
and wish the bill which embodies them 60
become n law say so TO your Representatives
Say it to them individually and directly,
for il Is your right TO advise them. and It
will be their pleasure to hear from you
what legislation the interests OF their con-
stituents demand.
R OF OPINION.
The great body of Congress are always
sincerely DESTROYS to meet the Just wishes
of their constituents n to do what Is for
the public interest; but in this great country
they are continually assailed by innumer-
able expressions Of private opinion and by
innumerable demands for the expenditure
OF public money; they come to discriminate
very clearly between private opinion and
public opinion. and Eetween real public
opinion and the manufactured appearance
n public opinion; they know that when
there Is a real demand for any kind OF legis-
lation it will make itself known TO them
through a multitude of individual voices.
Resolutions Of commercial bodies frequently
indicate nothing except that the proposer
Of the resolution has a positive opinion and
that no one else has interest enough in the
subject to oppose it. Such resolutions by
Themselves, therefore, have comparatively
little effect: they ere effective only when the
support Of individual expressions shows
that they really represent a genuine and
general opinion.
BUSINESS MEMS DUTY.
1T is for you and the business men all over
the country whom you represent, to show
to the Representatives in Congress hat the
producing and commercial interests Of
