properly, that he is opposed to taxing the many for the benefit of 
the few. I agree with him, and for once we stand together on a 
common platform. But, Mr. Speaker, it is as an educator of the peo- 
ple that this institution is desired. Like the Smithsonian Institution, 
like the National Museum, like the many statues that decorate the 
parks and streets of Washington, this garden will educate the people, 
will teach them to love their country, to take an interest in the products 
of their country, and for that reason I think it is a very proper thing 
to be created and maintained by the General Government. I am 
thoroughly in favor of the proposition. Whether the garden shall be 
located at the point proposed or not I do not care particularly; but at 
some proper place within the District of Columbia such an institution 
ought to be established and maintained. The argument of the gentle- 
man from Alabama [Mr. Herbert], if it is good against this, is equally 
forcible against all the institutions that are maintained now at the 
public expense, such as those which have been enumerated by my 
friend from Jowa [Mr. Henderson]. We have here, moreover, the 
talent, the knowledge, and the energy of Mr. Hornaday, which are to 
be given to this garden if it is established. I have known him for 
many years, and I know that he possesses intelligence, experience, 
and capacity that would be very valuable in connection with an insti- 
tution of this kind.
