The postal bill was then taken up,

amendment of Mr.. Jones, of Florida,
reported by the committee on post
offices and post.roads, in regard to the
Brazilian mail service, 40 as to have

at Pensacola, Florida.
Mr.. Eustis, Of Louisiana, referred to
the subsidies granted the Collins and
other lines Of steamers since 1915, and
said il was mentioned IN the contract
with them, that they should carry
mails In return for the aid extended to
them. II the view should be taken
that the trade with Brazil was not of
any value, that this country was in II
condition to dispense with the trade of
the American states which the Euro
pean governments now monopolize,
then there was no necessity tor the
passage of this law, but on the other
hand, II protiting Ivy the experience Of
other governments, which have spent
large sums of money to increase this
trade, good deal could he said in
favor Of this measure. He spoke of
the present line plying between New
York and Rio as having no accommo-
dations, and said II we would estab-
lish commercial relations Nth Brazil,
we must have steamers properly
equipped and having such accommo-
dations as will induce Brazilian mer-
chants to visit our country, and cur
merchants to visit Brazil. He had al
ways advocated the establishment Of
steamship lines, but when he contem-
plated the condition of the industrial
classes OF this country to-day, he was
more in favor Of It than ever.
Mr.. Maxey, of Texas, argued that by
reason of improved machinery the
products Of our country had been in
creased and we must find new markets
for our surplus products, or we must
cease producing. He quoted at length
from statistics AZ to the trade between
South America and the United States,
and European countries, and argued
that all our industries had increased
except ship building, which had fallen
back. He spoke at length Of the pro.
ductive soil OF Texas and said he pro.
posed to exchange the wheat OF that
state for the coffee Of Brazil. In the
Language OF Jefferson, awe should
have peace, commerce and honest
friendship with these people" He be
lieved the measure before the senate
was in the interest of the people, and
hoped the bill would be passed.
Mr.. Matthews said that pursuant t.
notice given last Friday, he asked tina
the Texas and Pacific bill be specia
order for to-day, but Senator Lama
had advised that he desired to amen,
the motion or make one in lieu there
Of whereupon the senator from Mis-
sissippi said that since notice had bee
given, the two houses had agreed t
