the bill was that II was intensely and scan
dalously sectional. IL made sugar free
| and sugar was southern product. IL
| made machinery for making beet-sugar in
the Northwest free and IL maintained the
duties on the cane-sugar machinery OF
Louisiana. Rice was southern product,
| and the duty on rice WAS reduced. Bind
inc-twine for the western fields was made
free. but the duty on cotton-ties was
| tripled He believed that the, western
farmer would be ashamed 10 look IN the
face Of his brother farmer OF the South
after that unjust discrimination.
THE BILLS REDEEMNd FEATURE.
The bill had but one redeeming feature,
and that was its intense and naked selfish
| ness which would be the means Of
arousing the conscience Of the American
people and of leading TO its repeal. No
force in the moral world or In the physical
world was ever lost, The man VINO threw
! a stone at a dog but missed the dog ana
bif his mother in-law said that he was
very sorry he had missed the dog but he
thanked God that the stone was not wasted.
