And especially dol liio4ratulato them and the friends of this measure upon the fact that thus far in this debate no one has been found to deny absolutely either the necessity. the propriety. or the justice of this legislation. Every gentleman who has spoken in opposition to this bill has declaredand I do not think I aim mistaken in this statementthat if the time of its operation was restricted to five or ten instead of twenty years. as here provided. lie would vote for it.
