disposition of the Senate Agriculture Committee 70

In the House the appropriation desired FOR en-
forcement was cut in half. II would be "A sorry
thing for the Senate to finish the Job and with II

ministration whose inefiiciency and IL
competency are without parallel in the
history of the country, and whose policy
of "watchful waiting" together with
other silly and amateurish performances
at homo and abroad. has isolated us
among the nations Of the world, brought
reproach upon us. and made II necessary
for the President TO beseech Congress TO

other nations. and so win their good VIII.
Experiments are costly, but sometimes
worth the price; and if this experiment

folly and Incompetence, should restore
the control OF the government-as 1t WILL
TO the Republican party, which has Tor SO
