ever presented less plausible propo-

of the Senators who desired to free
hides, "He is certainly wanting in

should be left on leather, shoes and
harness, for the benefit of the manu-
facturer; further he is told to buy in a
protected market and sell in an open
market things which he has to SELL
Carter declared if the farmer must
sell in the open market he also shall
be allowed to buy there.
