nouncing the central bank scheme far-
ored by Senator Aldrich and the none
tary commission. Representative Fow-
Ter, of New Jersey, former chairman o.

Two great trials in the courts or
civilization have occurred on this con-
tinent." he said.
THE first was British tyranny versus
the American colonies. George Wash
ington was the attorney OF record for
the colonies, and the colonies won.
1.-THE second was slavery versus lib
erty. Abraham Lincoln was the attor-
ney OF record for liberty, and liberty
won.

case OF the chairman or the National
Monetary Commission, alias Aldrich-
Ism. alias the special interests, versus
the people Of the United States.

pie under his leadership will triumph
most gloriously.r
Mr.. Fowler scored the appointments
