SATURDAY. AUG. Q.
The Senate met at 10 a. M, but the rol-cal
| showed that there were in the chamber -
Senators less than aquOrum. The SeTgeant-at-
Arms was directed to request the attendance of
absentees, and by 1920 the presence of a quo

and does not grow one-tifth of the wheat that
her people eat. The one got cash aud the other
promises. The cash was the short run and
the promises were Z" the long run" Whenever
the manufacturer got tired of reaping the bene-
Et Of the bargain on his side he agreed to let
the farmer get his Innings" So far the
manufacturer had proved remarkably long
winded. He had not shown the slightest evil
dence Of being tired. The nature of the bar
gain between the farmer aud the manufacturer
was well illustrated by the offer of one urchin

big red apple l will show you my sore toe"

the existing tax on cotton tiles, might not, he
asked, when some of them were on the hastings
talking about protection TO American labor,
some man in the audience say, with great pro-
prlety, That IS a lie; you know that you are
not for protecting all American labor; for the
100000 bales of cotton are oppressed, when
prepared for the foreign market, by tax three
times higher than that imposed upon many
other articles"
