 washington, July 13 = (UP) - Recently introduced in the house a resolution providing for . sine die adjournment on July l6. I have never introduced any piece of legislation with greater sine cerity. 1 believe 1t would be q blessing to America if Congress would adjourn in the immediate future, return to their respective home counties and learn, at first hand, what their constituents are thinking about on the great ques- tions before the American people. They would find, in my judgment, very ladge public uprising on the policies being pursued in this country.
 I believe by adjourning at this time, we could prevent the passage of revolutionary legislation. I say this because the Congress is very responsive to public sentiment and 1 believe when they once know how their constituents feel much of the important legislation now before us will not be passed.
 The longer we stay here the more bills we will rc.--s providing for the expenditure of money. We have already appropriated about 9s,000, 100000 for the fiscal year of 1888, which is far in excess of the anticipated revenue for 1888. To continue to spend money in excess of the rveenue will sooner or later lead to disastrous results. During the past six years the pulp lie debt has been increased to $20, ,000, ,000, ,000 and the end is not in sight.
 Cites Credit Situation
 I recently in a speech pointed out certain bills that provided for the expenditure of $l6,00o, oo,ooo now before the Congress. I need not com- ment on the results of our credit situation if Congress passed the bills covered by the amount mentioned.
 There in an additional reason why I think Congress should adjourn, and that is that there are now before the Congress four bills, which if ad- opted, will change our form of gov- ernment. without at first obtaining the consent of the people as pro- vided for in the Constitution. I refer to the Supreme Court bill now be. fore the Benate. It appears that the administration has determined to fight this issue to q conclusion and I don't think that the American people want packed Supreme Court. The court holds in their hands the liberties and rights of tho American people and if that author. itv is ever destroyed there is no telling what the final results might be.
 Hour Wage Bili Attacked
 The second bill Is the so-called hour and wage bill. Under this bill, 1t is contemplated to place in the hands of five men, absolute con- trol over hours and wages through the United States in agriculture, organized business and in every other branch of employment.
 The third bill is the so-called re- organization bill, which gives to the President dictatorial powers. Under this bilb if passed as introduced. he would have power without leg islative action to abolish depart ments, transfer appropriations from one department to another and spend the same without asking for legislative consent.
 Sees Wide Dangers
 The fourth bill is the so-called new Agricultural Act, which places every farmer in the United States in straight jacket and under absolute control of . centralized government in Washington.
 If these four bills are adopted, our republican form of government is gone and we will in fact, be under a dictatorship without the American people having given their consent to such a change in our form of government.
 It is for these reasons that l urge early adjournment and plead with the American people to try to influence their representatives in Congress to close up shop and re. turn home until next January.
