nurer and cleaner it was for tho human


No man could say that cotton-sced oil
u,as not one of the best articles of food
discovered during the present century.
n had become the poor mans food. IL
was marked for what IL was. The working
neonIe were not asking for this bill. They
were opposed to taxing a clean, healthy
food product.
Mr.. McRae, OF Arkansas, offered an
amendment 70 the tirst section OF the bill
bv adding the following words: And
rendered in open kettles the process used
Inv farmers and butchers" to the definition
OF lard
The amendment was lost-yeas, CO; nays.
Messrs. Allen of Michigan, Henderson of
Iowa. and Forman of ILLINOIS spoke in favor
Of the bill.
II DO NOT LOVE THE. DIR. FELL"
Mr.. Houk. of Tennessee. said that he
would vote for the bill somewhat on the
principle
"Id do not love thee, Or. Fell;
The reason why cannot tell"
There were some things in the measure
that he did not like. He did not wish to
enlarge the internal-revenue system which
now existed. He had hoped that before
this Congress adjourned the machinery OF
MISUNDERSTANDING
been wiped from the statute-books. But
II was evident that this would not be done,
and be would vote for the bill as being IN
the interest OF the farmer.
Mr.. Stewart, Of Texas, attacked tho bill
on constitutional grounds.
MIR. OATES AGAINST THE BILL.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, cOntended that
if Congress wanted 10 be fair 10 all the in
dustries of the country IL ought not 10 put
rider on one and mako II carry the
weight. Every industry was entitled to
fair competition with all its rivals. IL
was said that the farmers had petltloned
in favor of the bill. That was true, but IN
any part of the country signatures could
be secured TO petitions for every conceiva-
bic purpose. But he had petItions-difer-
ing from other petitions in that they were
ACCOMPANIED by MISUNDERSTANDING that
signers had read and understood the cap
ton requesting him 90 oppose the COnger
bill. but TO give his support to the Paddock
bill. He then proceeded 10 make a consti-
tutional argument against the bill.
FoB CoSsTIIUTIONAL PRINCIPLES.
Mr.. Wheeler. of Alabama. appealed 10
members on the Democratic side to stand
by their constitutional principles. There
we're gentlemen on the other side who were
opposed to gong so far IN the violation OF
correct principles OF government rs lulS
bill attempted to do. That some gentle
men on the Democratic side supported it
proved only that there were men who
valued the temporary industries Of their
constituents more than they value the great
enabling principle of Democratic govern
meut.
THE WHOLE TROUBLE.
The whole trouble was that the South
God bless that country-llaughterl was
raising vegetables so superior TO all other
vegetables IN purity. God had blessed
that country. Congress was attempting
to pass q law directly in conflict with the
statutes Of Almighty God. Laughter
And SWINE. ne Is unclean to thee, Of their
flesh thou shalt not eat and their carcass
thou shalt not touch, for they are un-
