illusions intended 10 be OFFENSIVE ne
had made some observations, Wnlcn' on
-saection, he was persuaded had e1-
ossied the limits OF propriety IN the
Sebate. and he aYailed himself OF TINS
6rst pubic occasion to express his dis
-sgrst. He then proceeded to argue
against the bill. He thought the whole
g9biect was being treated inversely,
beginning at the close, and considering
I. downward. The fundamental
question TO be considered was
not whether the general govern
ment possessed public power tointerfere
through taxation or otherwise, but
whether OleOmargarine was a product
detrimental and injurious to the general
health and general welfare. He as
sumed that the most latitudinarian in
terpretation of the constitution would
not claim that there was any power in
the general government to prevent
fraud simply as q fraud. The funda-
mental question was whether or not
OleOmargarine was a healthful nutri-
tOus food product. If IL were, then
olsomargarine had exactly the same
right TO ask a tax on butter, as butter
had 70 ask a tax on oleOmargarine. IL
Il we're a healthful food product, then
tbs bill was not bill 70
sDOliate. It was not q bill
for revenue, but the bill for cOnhsca-
ton and destruction. A German
chemist had recently discovered q
means for making saccharine from Goa
oil of such intense sweetness that 9
single teaspoonful would change q bar
rel of water into syrup. What should
be said of this discovery BY which If al
that was said of it were true, the can
sugar industry was TO be uprooted an'
destroyed.
