This was test of the strength OF
the sugar bounty and It's adoption be-
came assured.
Speeches continued TO be made
against it, however.
McI.aurln (Dem.) OF Mississippi OPP
posed the bounty law as unconstitu-
tional and therefore void.
McLaurin offered an amendment that
the sugar bounty be paid In silver
coin to be coined from silver seignor-
age now in the treasury. Ruled out
OF order.
Mr.. German spoke theoretically
against the bounty amendment.
II would be most unfortunate, he
said, to have this great sum attached
to the snndry civil bill
He had voted for the bounty when
the tariff question was up, But con-
gress had decreed against the bounty
and now It was not here on It's merits
as a bounty bill. but as a claim.
an view OF the bounties given by
other Countries said MIR. German, II
do not believe the great sugar industry
Of the United States would last hve
years longer"
Mr. German said he regretted the eX-
termination of this great American IN
dustry more than any legislative ac-
ton in which he had taken part. ie
believed in the bounty, but, In view
of the condition of the treasury, he did
not believe In this back bounty.
I'VE will soon have the question of
| financial deficiency before us" said Mr..
German. I'VE are today and have been
| for two years paying the current eX-
penses of the government from bonds
| sold and unleSs we make provision
| for meeting. our obligations, there VIII
| not be enough by S6o,OOO,0OO to pay the.
| current expenses of the current year.
Mr.. hi suggested that the bounty
amendment ought to be as germane as
Mr.. Germans treasury certihcates
amendment.
| directing the purchase Of four million
ounces of silver monthly for the next
eight months and Its coinage into
standard silver dollars,
| Nv a vote of IS 10 60. the amendment
was declared out OF order.
The vote was not significant on silVei
lines,
Those in the affirmative were: Bate
Brice. Cameron Clark Hansbrouen
McLaurin, Mantle, Mills. Pener' Petti'
grew. Teller, Walsh and Wolcott.
Mr. Mitchell offered another amend
ment to the bounty provision for
cent bounty a pound to wool growers
for losses sustained by placing WOO
on the free list. Ruled out OF ORDER
MIR. Pettlgrew said the susarmer
were no more entitled to compensation
than were others injured by the VII
son tariff legislation. -,
The Louisiana claim was higH
premium on impotence.
The Louisiana senators had helpad
break down the protective tarim ane
min Northern industries ana nov
came in asking protection for their owl
people. H.. 80. e.,
