Congress and the danger of land distribution power
The speaker argues Congress lacks authority to requisition county property as revenue for distribution among states. He warns that such distribution concentrates power at the national level, undermining state independence and dignity. He cites General Jackson opposing 1883 land distribution, urging that money equals power and centralization would turn state officers into instruments of a central government.
