| Proceeding then 10 challenge Mr.
Dingley's statement hiss CWilson' s
view Of the cause of the treasury's dis
tress was anita goTistic to that of tn
president. he quoted Mr.. Cleveland
| words Yesterday that there was a com
: Portable surplus OF s63, 600, 900 in tbs
treasury bat it was not in gold and
| therefore did not meet the present DIFF
; | ficulty In conclusion, Mr.. Wilson eX-
, pressed the hope that this bill would
pass both houses OF congress and be-
| come law
The bill was then read for amend
ments under the five minute rule. The
amendment of Mr.. Hepburn to author
ize the president 10 impose by procla-
nation a tax of 81 per ton on the YES
sells of countries which made or enforc-
ed regulations that prohibited or i'm
peded the sale of our food products,
| was lost, SO to SO.
AN amendment offered by Mr. Hop
| kins, Rep. Ills), in the shape of a pro-
viso continuing the differential duty
| against such countries or their depend
| encies as made or permitted unjust
| discrimination against any products
| Of the United States was opposed by
| Mr.. Wilson on the ground that 1T meant
| retaliation, not reciprocity, and would
cornplicate the bill and render its en-
| actment into a law this session impos-
Sible. Mr.. Hopkins argued that If the
| bill without some such amendment be-
came a law it would place us at the
| mercy of Germany. This amendment
was lost, 81 TO 10S.
Mr. Hit RepD offered an amend
ment to repeal the one-eighth of a cent
differential on refined sugar. Mr. Hit
declared this was the differential inn
posed solely for the benefit of the sugar
trust and he made an earnest argument
in favor of striking it out of the tariff
act along with the difierential against
sugar bounty paying countries.
Mr.. Wilson said it would crafty him
if this amendment could be adopted,
this bill become a law, but he realized
this amendment If adopted, would de-
fea the bill He therefore asked his
friends to vote down the amendment.
There was two ways in which the sugar
trust could defeat the bill for striking
off the one-tenth on sugars from bounty
paying countries, first by killing ii on
the square, and second by loading the
bill with amendments so as il could not
pass the senate.
"The gentleman from West Virginia
said Mr.. Hit. once said on this floor
Just before the taking CT a famous and
fatal vote that the sugar trust had
congress by the throat; does he still
think 500"
81 am obliged replied Mr.. Wilson.
"to answer in the line of my previous
hand at my throat and / can only re-
move it one finger at a time | shall Go
So" (Applause.)
ct have reasons" continued Mr. Will
son, "for hoping the bill will pass the
senate"
pocket" suggested Mr.. Hit, and the
house laughed at this allusion to the
letter sent by the president to Mr.. Will |
son after the passage of the tariff bill !
by the senate.
The amendment was lost, So to los, by 4
a strict party vote.
Mr.. Dingley offered as an amendment /
an additional section declaring the re-
peal Of this duty should not be held TO 4
imply the United States surrender her
right under the favored nation clauses /
Of her treaties to impose differentialS !
to mweet export bounties given by
foreign countries which We're parties
to such treaties.
Mr.. Henderson, Rep. Ia), at this
point got the floor and delivered the
speech which aroused the greatest en-
thuSiasm on the Republican side He
tainted the Democrats of Louisiana |
for their efforts to secure protection
for themselves while adVocat ting free
trade for the rest of the country and
called upon them to take up the shield
broad enough to protect the whole
Come out from among the banditti
With whom you have been acting" he
said, 81 am tired of the cry from those
N Louisiana who refuse to help them
Selves
Mr. Henderson said he would vote to
strike out the one-tenth discrimination |
because it was a blow at the trust
Mr.. Robertson. Oem. Lao, replied to I
Mr.. Henderson's remarks with much |
spirit, repudiating the invitation to join {
he Republican party which would on
his occasion, as it had on others. he
aid, delivered a deadly blow at Louis ]
