way It has power to do It In any number
of ways such as mleht be necessary and
proper. But congress happens to have-
no more right to say what a man may
do wltht his money than what he must
do with his laud. Congress has just as
much power to compel a postmaster to
act as a commission merchant as to com-
pel him to act as a banker."
Senator Bailey referred to the chal-
lenge Issued by Senator Kayner t.i the
republican side to point out the clause
upon which the bill might be based anl
Mid that the only response was a coun-
ter challer.ee from Senator Carter for the
Maryland senator to point out the clause.
In the constitution prohibiting such legis-
lation. "To see the senator from Uontana re-
duced to the pitiful necessity of attempt-
ing to justify his bill" said Mr. Bail?y
"by reversing the usual rule of constitu-
tional construction was enough to con-
vince almost any man that if he had any
better excuse for his support of this
- measure as constitutional he ulj ha. a
used it."
Mr. Bailey said he particularly re-
frained from reading a line from any
law book or the constitution because in
his judgment the unconstitutionality of
the measure "is too plain." Then ha
added that "the senator from MarylmJ
has relieved me of the necessity of dolus
so by his luminous speech of a week or
ten days ago. No man here has will or
can answer his citations. Most of the
arguments thus far have been negative.

gress does not possess the authority to
pass this legislation. It la a bill on Its

however to that old-fashioned school of
men who believed it to be no duty of the
general government to encourage econ

' actment of wise and necessary general
laws within the warrant of the const. tu-
tion who believed in leaving to the in-
dividual citizen his wholesome freedom

thrift into which a government must
tease Its reole is worth very little hera
or anywhere else. Those who must l
so patronized laclc the virility to make
them healthful factors in a government
Irfca this one."
RIGHT OF POWER UNWARRANTED.
Mr. Bailey challenged the advocates of
the measure to search the constitution
from preamble to conclusion. "If you
do" he added "you win not find one let-
ter to warrant such an assumption of
power; If congress baa no power to en-
courage economy and thrift then it can
not establish a postal savings bank for
that la the plain purpose of this legisla-
tion. Ite purpose was never more dis-
tinctly avowed than by Mr. Roosevelt In
hi annual message of December 3 WT
whfn he said The primary object Is t
encourage amonr our people economy tnd
thrift.' "
Turning toward Senator Carter wtin
has charge of the bill before the senate.
lr. Bailey s?k-u ' Is that the purpose?
I see the senator from Montana nods hi
head." Mr. Bailey continued that even
If It were constitutional tj attemnt l.-
legislation such as this to encourage
economy and thrift that it would be in-
consistent with the fundamental irinc-
jitea of good government because !t Im-
poses upon the United States government
a business which was never a function
of a free government hut which was al-
ways a function of Individual and cor-
porators. "In the early days" he said "the su-
preme court sustained a law creating a
bank but it did so m the (rrounJ thit
It was to serve as a fiscal spent of -'r.a
government. Never was it asserted that
congress had the power to create a pure-
ly commercial institution with no func-
tion of the government and no d-jtv of
the government to perform. This unwar-
ranted obtrusion of the generai govern-
ment Into the business affairs of the peo-
ple la soon to be followed by an equall-
unwarranted obtrusion of private busi

ness into the affairs of the government.
Turning toward the democratic side Mr.
Ballev said: "I warn my political ss-
socinirs that If you consent for the gov-
ernment to go Into the business of banks
vou will have no right later on to object
to the banks going Into tlie business of
government. I repel as a libel upon the
Intelligence of the people of the Uolteo.
States the argument that the people
themselves can not take care of their own
nionev. There may be some such. I
knew some such: but shall we ubandon
t'.io siicred principles for which this gov.
eminent was formed uud convert thH
govermiiunt of ours Into the business of
a common trader! The government that
attempts to save the weak Is the same
government that would sap the strength
of the strong."
rP.VDEXCE THROWN TO WIND.
This effort to make life easy" said
Mr. Bailey "is not a statesman s task.
Tnis effort to Insure ever body against
loss Is not your duty. The fear of loss
Is the beginning of financial wisdom. Let
the government once declare that every-
body shall make a profit under Federal
guarantee and that moment the prudence
we inculcate In our children will count
for nothing. Struggle teaches men to be
able to conquer. Let us make fate our
servant rather than our slave L for one
do not pray for the time to come when
men shall not exercise their prudence
because the government will exercise a
greater prudence. Even If this bill would
save millions ot money all the money
that might be saved under It would not
compensate for the loss this bill will in-
flict upon the country."
-Mr. Bailey s ntxt point was that tho
proposed legislation would constitute an
"unauthorized intrusion of the govern-
ment Into private enterprise" and asked
"for what?1' The purpose was to "entice
Into the arteries of trade funds variously
estimated from $wX0uSi.OiJ to a bill. on."
He thought those who made this claim
were not well Informed oer the facts.
According to the treasury statement for
November 1S0 there was available tiiOu.-
C'O.iW outside of the treasury for circula-
tion. More than 15tX.'..0w of this. ii
said. Is lr. the keeping of banks and trust
companies In actual cash held for re-
serve and other purposes so that outside
of the hanks there could be no more thau

there were housewives without market
change there would be none of them hav-
ing hoardings" available for deposit in
postal bunks. In every store business
house hotel and cafe proprietors must
have money within easy reach of the
cashier and the great transportation
companies collecting millions have un.
computed sums traveling from place of
collection to places of disbursement.
These he thought ought to account for
amost every dollar.
WOULD NOT CHECK HOARDING.
'There are not tlOu.OOO.OOO hoarded out
of fear" Mr. Bailey declared. "I doubt
If such an amount Is hoarded for any
reason In this country. Most of the men
who do hoard any of It hold It for pe-
culiar reasons so dear to them that the
government could not beckon It from
them for any reason."
Mr. Bailey said be did not wish to drag
politics Into his speech but that he could
not refrain from mentioning the "bitter
reproach which the republicans uttered
two years ago against the democratic
party for having urged the guarantee by
the Government of hank deposits.
"V liat We ther fi.k-ntL u M r-
Balley "was infinitely better than the '
object of this bill ami less socialistic. It I
Is constitutional to compel a bank to con-
ixiouie 10 a common rur.d out of which
their losses may be paid for their com-
mon good. Every bank is vltallv interest-
ed In the solvency of every other baiiK.
But what have you done here? You have
broueht Into this congress a bill that
proposes what we proposed and a great
deal more. You would not only collect
from those in whom you wish to encour-
age economy and thrift but from every
taxpayer in the land. Hunnoiu nn. nf i.i..

ueposu some or these postal deposits

eral government would become the debtor
of the citizen who has lost his deposits
and must make the contract gord at toe
expense of every' citizen contributing
toward the support of the government.
ALL FORCED TO SHARE LOSS.
"The last bill which you brought in
here for postal savings banks was criti-
cised because It was claimed it would
show favoritism as between banks. n-
der this bill the very money deposited
may be drawn from the bankai deposited
In the postoffice and retransferred bacit
Into the very banks from which it was
drawn with the result that the bank
might have the same money but not tna
same creditor: the government would be-
come the creditor the banks would owe
the government instead of owlns the citi-
zen while the government would owe the
citizen. What f that but a pure and sim-
ple guarantee by the government of the
deposits of the people? You not only at-
tempt to exercise a power you do not
constitutionally possess v0u would nt
only put the government into competition
with the people but when loss would
come under this scheme of yours you
would compel all of the people to share
the losses of some of the people.
"And yet you had the effrontery to
call us socialists two years ago from one
end of the country to the other. What do
you call yourselves? You are socialists

people of the United States repair the loss

Mr Ualley also contended that no pro-
vision In the bill would be so groat and
unwarrantable an Interference with the
domestlo relations of wife and husband
than la the provision which provides that
the deposits made bv a wife shall be.
free from the Interference of the hus-
band. "Where does congress gain the

litis bill vou not only attempt to regu-
late the business of the men wnorn you
contend can not take care ot tnemseives.
but also the relations between husband
and wife."
Mr. Bailey said he abhorred the mart
that would rob the wife of her pin momy
but felt that It was outside of the prov-
ince of the general government to provo
that a wife might escape the dominion
of her husband under the laws of the
Rates by fleeing to the postoitlc with nor
pin money . ..

Concerning the Interest feature of the bill
he declared "tho very people for whom
you express your solicitude by-- offering
thent S per cent interest on their deposit
are not the ones who can most afford to
take ! per cent on their money. He de-
clared "that a man who can not earn
more than t per cent with his money heed
not concern the American people as a
whole very much." He pointed out that
while the government Intended to pay 2
per cent to depositors it Intended to
change the banks not lest than 2 1-4 per
cent when placing these deposits with
the banks. "You would compel the banks
to pay more Interest than you charge mo
people." he said tand wnen the bank
puy Interest they must exact a higher
i ate of Interest to cover it. Just as
much as you claim you may save to one
class you may lose to another class.
What is woiae than either tne losing or
the saving Is the fact that tne saving
would come to men who keep money idle
and the lots would come to those whose
enterprise has developed the country."
In conclusion Senator Bailey said he
fully understood that the republicans In-
tended to pass the bill and mat hla ap-
peal wus in vain to great principles of
the constitution and to fundamental prin-
ciples of good government.
"Tlie wnole public mind." ho said
"seems to have become Infected with a
distemper. They Jeer at meu who now
invoke the constitution. They cheer the
other kind as progressive cllisens. But I
warn you that if you violate the consti-
tution with Impunity now you will not be
heard when It is invoked agamst you by
your successful rival tomorrow. I believe
in a w ritten constitution' not much be-
cause I revere the wisdom of the men
who ma re it as because of the fear I have
of living men. I would not trust you
any more than I would want you to trust
me to legislate relative to the inalienable
rights of men beyond the limits of a
written constitution.
CONSTITUTION TOO Mt'CH IGNORED.
"A constitution that can be net aside
at will is worse than no constitution at
all. It would be a mere network through
which the strong could bre.iK at will
while ensnaring the weak. We hear talk
row and then of a threadbare constitu-
tion. It has not been used enough In
recent years to make It threadbare. The
men who have not used It find It easy
to sneer at it. Tou men who think It a
sign uf intellectual weakness to plead for
It will live to hear the multitude jeer
you when you plead for it for your own
protection. I am weak enough to pray
and hope and believe tiiat tne time will
tome agnin when the constitution will not
be lgnoied. I believe the American peo-
ple have now almost reached I lie state of
mind where they think they are governed
too much. If they do come to I hat con-
clusion we will have a revival of the
old fnlth of union under tho constitu-
tionthat one created the otn.r. that the
other can alone save the one."
VOTE ON BILL THURSDAY.
An' amendment was -Offered by Senator
Burton which is offered as a compromise
of the various differences on the question
of the disposal of the funds arising from
the postal deposits. Senator Carter suc-
ceeded after making many previous futile
efforts in getting next Thursday March
3. fixed for a vole on the bill.
There was no objection to naming a
dav and senators appeared pleased that a
time hud been fixed for the final disposi-
tion of the measure.
Mr. Carter proffered his request Imme-
diately after the clow of Senator Bailey's
speech. The time wa well selected for
the reason that many senators have been
wanting to hear from the Teas senator
before agreeing to the fixing of any time
for the ultimate disposal of the bill.
After Mr. Bailey had concluded many '
expressed the opinion thtt he had thrown
much light upon constitutional questions
involved in the subject.

ment submitting n government truarantee

WASHINGTON February 21. What
Senator Depew fittingly characterised as
the most unique farewell ever delivered
In the senate chamber was heard Ihere
today when at the close of the session
and at the end of his term James Gor-
don the senator from Mississippi said
good-bye to the senators with wnom he
had served for the last sixty uays. Colo-
Pel Goidon spoke for about half an hour
and when he concluded Heuutor Depew
addressed the chair saying h had never
heard or read any speech ot the kind
which was so unique and so impressive
as the one which had been Just deliv-
ered to the senate. The New York sen-
ator said he was sure ho voiced the sen-
timent of all .the members of the senate
kvhen he expressed regret over the pass-
ing of the Mississippi n.
"No matter" he said "how wonderful
a colleague succeeds him. he can not be
James Uordon of Mississippi."
Practically the entire senate listened
with close attention to the address of the
venerable Mlsslsslpplnn. He stood back
of his own desk ou the extreme right of

colleagues as If they had been old-time
friends. Twice he quoted from his own
book of verse which he afterward pre-
sented to the vice president. His re-
marks Were frequently punctuated wlta
applause and laughter. The ctileries-were
wel! filled and the occupants joined free-
ly In the manifestations of approval.
BOT'S AMBITION REALIZE!).
Beginning with the statement that the.
deadlock In Mississippi had been broken
and that 'Mr. Percy had been chosen to
take bis place. Colonel Gordon said that
he had felt a desire to express his feel-
ings toward the senate before retiring to
his home in Mississippi.
He then tohl how when 5 years of age
he had been presented with a toy board
which was checked over with different
objects some of them good and some of
them bad. One of these objects was the
rapitol of the I'nited States and his
mother had told him. he said that if he
would be good and would live a correct
life he might some day hope to sit in
the seat of the big man who was pi-
tureit tree. "
"She had never told me a lie and I
know that what she said was true. I
knew that I would some day occupy the
seat of that big man and God helpmS
me I KOt there yesterday." he salu
ferfins to the fact that for a time yes-
terday he had occupied the seat of the
presiding officer.
"I was born a multi-millionaire said
Colonel Gordon "hut P-was never happy
until I go; rid of my surplus money. 1
siwnt much of It on my slaves am. the
rest of my funds I spent line any gentle-
man and got rid of the entire encum-
brance. "I have listened with Interest to the
speeches iieie and the more I hear of
them the sorrier I am for the ml l.on-
alre. Wliv if there Is a felluw hi tho
I'nited States that I am sorry for it is
Rockefeller because he has more money
than unv one else. That is his misfor-
tune. He can not fro oil tlie street with
one of his grandchildren without being
afraid that some one might kill him.
Why. I know that he. loves one of thorn
children much better than he loves all
the money he hai got.
HE ADMIRED ROCKEFELLER
"I think Mr. Rockefeller Is a good
mar.. I hear his employes speak well of
him and I am told that he never had a
strike. I am told also that lie has given
much money to churches and education.
"Now 1 don't suppose everybody will
like that but those who do not like II
can put It In their pipes and smoke it.
I would like for Mr. Rockefeller to come
down to Mississippi and run his pipo
lines through my land. He could have
right of way for al the lines he wanted
for I know that in my time coal oil has
been reduced from We to 10c per gallon.
Referring to tho met that he had been
a Confederate soldier Mr. Gordon said:
"I fouqht and bled but I did not die.
However. 1 skedaddled frequently."
He then told of some of his exoloits In
the war and how he had captured Gen-
eral Coburn of Indiana and General
Shafter. Shatter he said hud fired at
him five times during the Confederate
charge without hitting him. He admit-
ted that on more than one occasion io
had been "skeered" but said that when-
ever the Union and Confederate soldiers
met they were always friends. Assert-
ing that he lovfd the negro he declared
that he wanted Mason's and Dixon's line
obliterated from the map of the United
States. ......
FOR A UNITED NATION.
"A few blab-mouthed people down our
way talk Indifferently" he said "but
they are ro Insignificant that they are not
worth cussing they are not worth wast-
ing Invectives upon."
Paying a tribute to the soldiers of both
the North and South Colonel Gordon
said:
"You may r" well try to storm the
heights of heaven and pluck the diadem
from Jesus' cre'vn as to take away froai
either of them any of the glory of the
records of the two men who stood under
the tree ot Appomatox and brought the
war to a close.
"This Is the finest body of men that I
ever ' associated with" he continued
speaking of the senate Itself and he
beamed upon his colleagues.
Again returning to the negro question
he said:
"We do not want to hurt the nlxrre.r:
why I Iqve him. and to convince you that I
I do I will quote from my own poetry !
concerning him."
He then read two of his poems In which
strong personal sentiment for the nej
people of the South was expressed In
rhymee.
Referring; to Senator Heyburn's recent
protest against General Lee's statue be-
ing allowed to remain In Statuary Hall
Colonel Gordon invited Senator Heyburn
to visit him on his plantation ana said
he was sure that after the Idaho senator
had seen the South through his spectacles
he would take off his hat to Lee as he
Uordon was wining to da Grant.

The- government's existence will now
depend upon the production of a plan
satisfactory to the nationalists and the
radicals for denlltiK in a drastic manner

The Freeman's Journal of Dublin to-
morrow morning will gay:
STOOD EY REDMOND.
"It can not be slated with too much
emphasis that the Irish party has not
budged a hair's breadth from the policy
which John Redmond has laid down. Un-
less the government will speedily produce
a veto scheme and press It to an Issue
the Irish party will enter upon a policy
of vigorous opposition to the government
with the result that the ministry el'. her
will be defeated In a few days or will be
ccntent to eke out a contemptible exist-
ence by the aid of Balfour's supporters."
The Freeman's Journal further explains
tliat it was not out of consideration for
the government that the nationalists ab-
stained from voting but because they did
not derire to r-ommit themselves to a
tariff reform polity or to take a step
which would divert tho Issue of the next
elections from tlie house of lords to the
tariff reform.

DUTY IS TO PUNISH DESPOTS.
