Before I take my seat let me say that the policy which the Government has entered upon. and which it proposes to continue. is in some respects similar to the policy of Great Britain in the eighteenth century which finally culminated in the American Revolution. I wish to call the attention of the Senator from Montana to the fact that our Declaration of Independence assigns that as one of the causes of the rebellion of the American Colonies: The history of the present King of Great Britain Is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations. all having In direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world. * * * h " *e " He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States. for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners. refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither. and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. * * t* " * se*hte * He has erected a multitude of new offices. and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. Now. the Government of the United States. so far as its administration of the public lands of the country is concerned. at least those of them that are left. is duplicating the conduct of the King of Great Britain in his administration of the land conditions of the Colonies. We went at that time. and partly -in consequence of it. to the extreme of opposition.
