To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
221 "On his own motion he has undertaken to over throw the Hawaiian Government, doing acts in di rect violation of the Constitution. He has borrowed money in violation of the law for ordinary expenses of the Government, and then falsified the facts in re lation thereto in a message to Congress. He has refused to remit taxes as required by law, and has collected taxes unlawfully. He has refused to en force the laws of Congress so often that the list of violations is next only to the list of his ...vetoes. He has sold bonds at private sale to his favorites and former associates upon terms and at a price many millions of dollars below the market price of the bonds on the day of such private sales. In view of these facts it is time for Congress to give some atten tion to these usurpations. If this Government is to survive, we can no longer look with indifference upon the shameful autocracy of Grover Cleveland. " In this connection, I referred to his veto record as unparalleled in our history, and showed that he had vetoed up to the first of May, 1896, 551 bills in his two terms as President, while all the other Presidents of the United States together had vetoed but 109 bills passed by Congress.
