"Why should bounty be confined to one
article or two? Kansas wants some of It
on it's corn, Illinois wants some on It's wheat,
Virginia on its tobacco. II this thing is to
be started, there must be enough to go
round. Well all take sugar In ours"
Bounties and rebates are the verest shams

lief from the heavy tax now imposed on the

which. strange as it may seem, the Mcktn-
