Moses K. Clapp, of Minnesota, came
out today in a severe indictment oi

one meritorious plan, il makes it al
most i npossible for Congress to in
sist the pressure.
"I have sometimes fell that l!:i

burdens of taxation and depreciation
of bonds, we would lind a general
revolt among the people. It seem
as though it ought to be done before
we reach that point. If the Ameri
