IS Running OUR CATTLE TRADE
Nelson Morris Tells of the Effect of the
Embargo by Europe

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Speaking of the de-
cree just issued by the French govern
ment prohibiting the importation Of
American cattle, Nelson Morris, the we'll
known packer, said: We shipped s18,-
100000 worth of cattle products to France
alone last year, and this great trade is ab-
solutely destroyed by the order of the
French government. l knew this was
coming some months ago, and with the
exceptions Of two or three carloads not
any cattle products have been sent to
France in the last ten days. The effect
of the German and Belgium embargoes
has been TO reduce the price of cattle of
the classes shipped to these countries by
$40 head, and this French edict will even
more unjustly affect the stockyards.''

i The vote was not significant on silver

! Senator Mitchell Of Oregon offered an
4 other amendment to the bounty prOpO-
sition fCr the payment Of i scent
4 bounty per pound to American wool
growers for losses sustained by placing
wool on the free list. He supported
the sugar bounty, but the same equities
would give wool growers compensa ton
Tor their great losses, their industry
having been destroyed by the tariff law.
The amendment was ruled out of order
Senator Pettigrew said the sugar men
were no more entitled TO compensation
| than We're others injured by the Wilson
tariff legislation. Louisiana's claim was
a premium on impudence." The Louis
lana senators had helped to break down
the protective tariff and ruin northern
industries, and now came in as strong
protectionists for their own people
Senator f1Oar moved to strike out the
clght-tenths Of a cent bounty for sugar
cane. II said the beet-sugar interest
was entitled TO bounty, but the cane
interest Of Louisiana was not. AS her
senators had voted against the sugar
bounty on the final vote in the senate.
when single vote would have retained
the bounty Louisiana had herself abol-
ished the bounty by her votes in the
senate and She should not complain of
this abolition now. The Hoar amend
inent was defeated.
The final vote was then taken. The
question was divided, the vote being
upon the proposition for bounty for
sugar produced prior to the passage Of
the tariff act and it was agreed to
ayes 46, noes 20.
The vote was then taken on the sec
ond branch Of the sugar bounty amend
