MT. Noble SAID, he would state to the Senate
tue reasons OF the vote which he was about to
give; as 1t would appear, without explanation
OF the Vote, that he refused to give protection TO
the growers of hemp in the United States, and
more especially in the Western countryside
country IN whichhe resided. He had voted to re-
tainin the bill, it came from the House of Repre-
sentatives, the two cents per pound on hemp, c.
quail to forty-four dollars and eighty cents per
ton but the Senate rejected it. In relation to
every article in the bill, the Senate, from the
hrst discussion of it, had been nearly equally di-
vidcd aiid, although amendment after amend
ment had been made to the BILL he had no hcsi-
tatlon IN say ing that some of those who offered
thc amendments, intended to vote against the
entire bill, on the final passage. He had set ont
from the commencement to alorI every protec-
tion to the manufacturer, and, lin doing so, he
pad due regard to the different sections of the
country, and found compromise ofopinion neces-
sary for the purpose ofsecuring the final passage
of the bill. He well knew that, if the protcc-
ton given to the growers of hemp, or duties laid
on foreign. hemp, exceeded thirty-Gve dollars
per ton, which was an increase of five dollars
ON the ton, the bill would be jeopardized and
finally lost. He would, therefore, vote against
the duties proposed by the gentleman from Ken
lucky, as well as the gentleman from Maryland
wouldyote for duty of thirty five dollars per
ton as proposed by the gentleman from Maine
If he could not afford protection to every class,
he would to part, rather than To give il 10 none
