Now, gentlemen, this theory that if
You weaken the courts by taking away

is utterly unfounded. The person who
is going TO take advantage of the weak
ened power of the courts is the man
who has wealth enough to employ cute
lawyers TO know what the technical
tiles are that he can take advantage OF
and TO know the weaknesses in the
amor of the court that ne can pierce,
to know that he can escape the object

guilty persons,

have mad a jury trial in such proceed

YOU introduced a jury trial between the

make another step in the delay OF court,
which denies justice.

Then ON a rising market, when profits
are increasing, they can hasten the in
