Tha letter itatod that the amendment of
fered by Senator Palmer , apparently for the
benefit of bona lidn purcht craof public lands
wa- not in reality in their interest , but in the
interest of a few per/tons / who , through col

Palmer laid no doubt speculators and lum
bermen had invested inland ? , .but.tlui men he
would help went poor farmers , who had pill
