poration for the exportation of south ern cotton. He was rhetorical. ora torical and eloquent. He was fol- lowed by Senator King of Utah, democrat.
 Mir. King. Mir. President, the woe ful conditions depicted by and the eloquent appeals of the senator from Alabama. not only today but upon other occasions, have made such an impression upon my mind that have come to believe that the federal gov ernment is so much petter able to take care of the people than they are to take care of themselves that suggest to the senator that we trans- fer all we have, our possessions, our natural political and civil rights, as well as our lives to the federal gov ernment and allow it through it's bu- reaus and bureauerats and federal functionaries and federal officials and federal commissions and federal agencies and instrumentalities to take LIS into its all embracing arms and direct our lives. control our thoughts, and guide our faltering and feeble steps. This would seem to be the proper function of government according to the senator from Ala bama, and his various addresses would indicate that the people are so flaccid and anaemic as to be incapa- ble of working out their own saliva tion.
 MT. Heflin. Mir. President, will the senator from Utah yield?
 Mir. King. I yield
 Mir. Heflin. The senator from Utah voted to take 100000 American tO tn irin iYaa in France, there to give their lives for the people of the United States and for the government of the United States.

 their business, control their activities and assume a complete guardianship over their lives.
 Mir. Glass. When the senator from
 Utah answers the question of the senator from Alabama, will he not please tell us also where the federal government is going to get the s10o,- l 100000?
 Mir. King: Oh, we'll, the senator from Alabama will turn loose the printing press; that is what he sug- gested sometime ago in very aoia and Illuminating speech submitted for our consideration.
 MT. Heflin: I now desire to sug. gest that rather than have this | slaughterhouse condition continue ir the south and the west it would be 1 better for the government to issue l 1000. 900. .000 of treasury notes, with l $500. .o00. 900, 900 of wealth back ot
 them, than 1t would to permit the | currency to be deflated and credits i curtailed to the ruin of the business | Of America.
 l Mir. King: Mir. President, of course l the senator from Alabama is a stu dent of economies and banking ano
 public matters. and therefore he knows that never in the history oi l the republic has there been so mucf
