The chief argument that tho Senator adj
vances Is that the payment of tho debt of the
government TO the ones entitled to it would
imnose too great a burden upon the taxpayers
Of the country. Did the taxes imposed upon
the people by tho iniquitous Esch- Cummins

sleep? presume that they did not: because
he voted for this bill which practically turned
