4 think ] heard you mention that
you are a good federalist. I heard
"a man say once, man whom have
never seen afraid of anything, that
ne was afraid of the Mississippi, that
he should be afraid to dwell by it
and feel that it might overwhelm
the land on which he might live. L
wish to see the federal government
build a system of dykes down the
Mississippi which shall make the
plantation of the man that lives by.
that Mississippi as safe as if he had
a plantation by the Illinois or Hud-
son, or Red river of the north. I
advocate no impossible task, no diff
ticult task. The people of Holland,
a little nation, tok tWo-thirds of their:
country out from under the ocean
and they live behind dykes now and
have lived behind them for centur-
les in safety. With one-tenth of the
effort, we an infinitely greater ma.
ton can take the incomparably rich
bottom lands of the lower Mississippi
out from all fear of ever being ov-7

I doanot like to say In advance what

Gentlemen, here is one of the
reasons why I am particularly glad

I think that any policy which lends
to the uplifting Of any portion Of our
people in the end distributes its bene-
fits over the whole people. Now,
here we have a policy whose first and
direct benefit will come to the man
on the farm, the man on the planta-
