that gentleman and the party who symPa
thizes with him. that it was not worth
while to spend anything. or do this much
or venture on these things, by this one
horse country. 1t reminds me OF Mark
Twain comparison of this country 10 a
sardine box, run by the machinery of the
/ Great Eastern. What was Prussia but a
one-horse state few years ago, and others
! that can be mentioned? What was Rome
/ but one-horse State at its beginning ?

slew him. Now, 1 do not propose to fall
on and Stay my brother Dole. What are
We in the midst of the broad Pacific that
great nations should send their captains
and officers to do honor to US. At the
time of the Coronation French Admiral
had sent letter by one of his Captains
expressing regret that his ship was too
large 10 enter the harbor, or he would have
been present in person to do honor to the
occasion. See how the Car of Russia
honored our King and how the Prince OF
Wales received Colonel Iaukea These are
the sentiments of international courtesy.
The Great Powers never think of us as a
one-horSe State.
Hon. Mr.. Wilder said he did not intend
saying anything about this item, but after
the remarks of the Minister be could not

There was never more unfortunate ex-
petition than the one to Louisville
Everyone respects the gentleman who was
sent there, but it was an unfortunate cir
eumStance, and set the entire South against
our treaty, and that is against us. They
showed that we could give more sugar to
the acre than any other country, and at
less expense. This morning the indebted |
ness of the country was laid before the |
House. He did not know how the Minis |
tiers felt, but he felt mortified and ashamed. |

country was never as good as at the pres

He (the speaker) would rather have paid it |
out of his own pocket by saving on hack
hire than letting it get on the records.
What is wanted is economy, and this is
good place to exercise it. If the House
votes $4,000, that should not be expended.
Six years ago the Government had 1898 900
in the Treasury, and the entire debt of the
was $4,000. If we are 50 900, 900
in debt in six years, what will it be in the
next six years? He knew amounts owing
which were not in this bill 1t was safe to
say that an honest administration would
stop these expenditures. He would vote
for $4,000, and not cent more.
Hon. Mr.. Bishop said the discussion
had taken wide range; deal of it had
no reference whatever to the subject. I'm

was not intended for any such purpose

Europe. They were not going to promote
immigration from that country. If more
Portuguese were required, there was no
need to send Minister. 1t was intimated
hat a treaty was wanted with Central
America, but this country was not suffer-
ng for the need of it. No complications
lad arisen, as far as he knew. With re-
,ard to sending political representatives to
SAMOA he was inclined to think it more
likely for them to get into difficulties by
1oing than staying at home. If there is
nything we are committed to from His I
Majesty and his Ministers it is economy.

ers urged it themselves. He (the speaker)
vas earnest and sincere for it, but he a
doubted the sincerity of others. Three
ears ago there was an amount in the APP I
ropriation bill for the same purpose, and
was not used. Now the House is asked
o vote $4,000. Is that economy? 1t is q
rue our exports have been large, but the
respects of our chief industry are not fat }

re are able to be little more liberal.
