The expenditures of the 55th congress...

The expenditures of the 55th congress amount to $20 a head for every man, woman and child in the United States.
But for the fact that our tariff scheme compels the foreigner to pay this, it would constitute a considerable burden.
Strange isn't it that that long suffering foreigner does not get onto our sharp practice and retaliate ?

There were only eight men present at the convention to nominate a populist state ticket and yet these eight men will increase the cost of the tickets at the election all over the state by causing them to be made wider, while depriving three or four thousand voters of any influence whatever upon the elections.
Looking at it from one point of view such conventions are rediculous.
