This was a test Of the strength OF the
sngar bounty. and sss adoption became as
sured. Speeches continued 10 be male
against IL. however. Mcf.aartn opposed
the bounty law as Unconstitutional and
therefore void as a law or a contract
with the sugar producers.
the sugar bounty be paid in silver coin. 20
be coined from the silver seigu4orage now
IN the treasury.
Blackburn made a point of orsier that
:he McI.aurin amendment was not GER
name. and the presiding officer sustained
the point.
German spoke energesIcally against the
bounty amendment. 1t would be most un-
fortunate. he said. TO have this great
sum attached TO the sundry civil bill.
He had voted for the bounty when the
tariff question was up. but congress had
siecressf against the bounty and now IL
was not here ON its merits as a bounty.
but as claim. In view of the bouni.Es
given by other countries" said German.
II do not believe the great sugar indus
try Of the United States viii las, Eve
years longer He believed in the merits
Of the bounty. but In view OF the condi-
ton OF the treasury and tariff action of
congress. he did not believe in this old
bounty.
I'VE win soon have the question Of a
financial deficiency before US" said Cor
man I'VE are today and have been for
two years paying the current expenses
OF the government from bonds sold. and
unless we MAKE provision for meeting our
obligations there will not be enough by
500 ooo.o .oe8 to pay the current expenses OF
the current year
H.ll suggested that the bounty amend
ment ought TO he as germane as Germans

Mitchell OF Oregon offered an amend
ment to She bounty proposition for the
payment of a 8 per cent. bounty per pound
| to American wool growers for losses lsus-
| tained by placing wool on the free list.
/ He supported the sugar bounty. but tbe
same equities would give the wool grow
ers compensation for their great loss in
having their Industry destroyed by the
tariff law. The amendment was ruled
| out OF order
Pettigrew said the sugar men were no
more entitled 70 compensation than we're
| others injured by the Wilson tariff leg
islation. The Louisiana claim was '.pre-
mium on impudence." The Louisiana sem
| ators had helped break down the pros
| pective tariff and ruin Northern indus
| tries and now came In as strong protec-
| tionists for their own people.
Hoar moved 10 strike out the s-f0 OF n
/ cent bounty for sugar made from sugar
| cane. He said the beet sugar interests
| were entitled to the bounty. but the cane
| interests OF Louisiana were not. as the
senator's had voted against the sugar
| bounty on the finai vote In the senate
| when a single voc would have retained
/ the bounty. Louisiana had herself aboi-
/ ished the bounty by her votes in the
| senate. and she should not complain OF
| this abolition now. The Hoar amendment
| was defeated on a viva voce vote.
