Our government is bankrupt, yet we are appropriating tha money of the people at tits rate of perhaps a million dollars an hour. The majority In Congress seem to he drunk on the wine of success. They Mddie and dance and make merry while Rome burns. I say to you, Mr. President, that it la time we were call ing a halt, and that the Congress- of the United States legislate for a little while la the interest of 'Old Man Peov pie.' He is a good old man, bowed and bent with years; venerable with long, flowing: beard. You have each met him. Simple and confiding, trust ful and hopeful, he looks to this Con gress for some relief, and I ask the Senators here to lend an attentive ear to his demands before It Is everlast ingly too late." He declared that the panic of 1907 "was organized on less than three acres of ground In New York, where these two gigantic stock gambling in stitutions ply their wicked vocations." Denouncing the levying of a protec tive tariff he pictured New York City as a scene of poverty as proof that this tariff does not bring prosperity even to those who work In fhe shops of the protected Interests. "I asked you," he said, "to go with me to the great cities and there In spect the great army of the unemploy ed as It marches with sober, grum. threateningly mien In full review; go with me to New York, If you please, stand with me on the Brook lyn Bridge at the close of the day and see the great throng of humanity as It surges across that great thoroughfare: see the little chil dren that ought to :e In school or around their mother's knee coming, grimy and dirty from the sweat-shops; see the poor mother with babe In her firms, who has ben trudging the streets all dav begging for bread, go ing to her hoval of squalid poverty snd want: see the laboring men out "f employment. with desperation written upon their faces returning empty-handed to their helpless, de pendent families; go to the homes of the poor, go to the homes of tiie em ployed, go with this great army that Is marching up and down the land to day- begging not for bread, not for a hand out at your back door, but an opportunity to work, for an oppor tunity to earn their bread as God commanded. In the sweat of their fae; for an opportunity to run the rai-o of life freely, unshackled, and unhindered; and tell me, If you will, that this tax haa brought blessings to the laboring man of the North and the East." DEALING IN Fl 'TURKS. Mr. Davis said that while Governor of Arkansas he had advocated a lnw which was finally enacted for the nip' presslon of all dealings In futures purely within the State and the pro visions of that act were practically similar to those proposed In his bill before the Senate. In the latter measure use of the. postal ays.terji as well as of the telegraph and telephone was forbidden which he deemed a feasible way to put an end to such transactions. He spoke especially of the baneful effects of the sale of fu tures on the price of cotton, although his bill had reference to all products of the soil. "God has blessed the Southland as He has no other portion of this great Commonwealth," said Mr. Davis. "He has given us In, soil and climate a corner on the production of this great staple, snd It Is to prevent the gam bler from despoiling our agricultural people, not only of the South, but of the West as well, that I ask for the passage of this bill." The transaction on the New York Kxe-hanKe, lie wild. Involve specula tion on ten times as much cotton as Is actually produced In the South. "The whole transaction." he said, "Is a pure gamble, a bucket shop transaction of the worst kind, and no exchange should be lawfully empow ered to continue this gambling game." This he added, is gambling In the flesh. In the blood and In tfce bones of women and children of the South who are forced by the robbery and spoliation of these gamblers to toil from daylight until dark to produce the subject matter of this gambling transaction. These exchanges, he insisted, so completely fix the price of cotton that the smallest farmer when he carries his product to market Is told that the purchuKer must consult the exchange before lie buys It. When gambling In cotton Is destroyed, he snld, a bet ter price could be obtained for the cotuin of the South. The 1100 names of members of the New York stock exchange were in cluded in Mr. Davis' remarks. These men, he said, represent wealth aggre gating 115,000.000.000 or about one seventh of the wealth owned by the 90.000,000 people of the United States and In addition to tht personal own ership, he added, they represent vast railway and commercial systems that add to their Influence In the financial world.
