affecting the industries of the whole coun-
goth of June it should take effect and

Hale Appeals to Harris.
''Now" he went on, Il appeal to the
Senator from Tennessee to let this part
of the bill remain unaltered until we
know what IS likely TO be done Why
Mr.. President, we do not believe the Sena-
tor from Tennessee has the slightest con-
ception of what this bill is likely to be
do not believe he knows what is going on
in the corners and holes of the wall to
fix up a bill which will be acceptable to
the majority There is some scheme attOdC
to secure votes OF q majority of the Dem
ocrats. Six weeks ago, the Senator from
Ohio CBrice) threw some light on what is
going on"

never recognize it? He could say despite
whatever denials had been made, that the
whole bill was to be reconstructed, and
the senator's who, early and late, made
known their antipathy TO it, were to be
prOpitated in order to gain votes.
Different From Mckinney.

of a half cent"
In reply to a question by Mr. Hale as
to his attitude toward sugar amend
ment offered in the interest of the re-
finers and not of the consumers, Mr..
Harris said while not in favor of a sugar
trust, he should not hesitate in choosing
between a continuation of the Mckinley
law and a measure which was better,
but not SO much better as he should
| like
