To this Mr. Dlngley made the point OF order 'nat
! the amendment related to the Tree hs'' anu '"'

i Mr. Dalzell made the further point that congress
! could not confer such power on the Secretary Oh
the Treasury and in answer to questions SAID 'nat
| no such power conferred by the bill upon 'he
President in respect to the reciprocity features.
Mr. Cooper Dem. Tex) suggested substitute
FOR Mr. Dockery's amendment comforting the power

perfecty willing to accept II 1t would meet the oo-
lection Of the gentleman from Pennsylvania
Mr. Dalzell-It does not meet Ii al all
Mr. Richardson Dem. Tenn)-Then the objec-
ton cannot be met. and the gentleman does not
want II met.
Mr.. Dockery said he had drawn the amendment
while having in mind the authority and power con-
ferred by the nineteenth section OF the pll upon
the Secretary Of the Treasury TO suspend the pro-
hibtion against the importation OF meat catue ana
| hides into the United States under certain conul-
tons.

| (Rep.. PENN Mr.. Richardson said ne iearen t'''
! the objection Of some members TO the Amendment
was that they desired protect trusts. They were
the Secretary of tho Treasury in respect TO cattle
hut not as TO human beings AS for himself De-
J tween cattle and men, he was for the latter zap
plause)
| Mr. Tawnev asked Mr.. Richardson. II he was SO
anxious for this legislation. why he did not seek 10
| incorporate II in the law OF 1894
Mr. Richardson replied that n study or the VIII
son bill In his opinion would discover the existence
of a provision very similar TO the proposiooh Oh
Mr.. Dockery.
Mr. Tawney-That's still on the statute book then
Mr. Rchardson-But you propose to repeal 1t by
this bill
Mr. Dinsley. Mr.. Tawney Mr.. Payne Mr.. Dazell
and others-Oh. no; not at ALL
Mr. Richardson-Then what is the objection to
putting It into this bill? never heard more insn-
| cere objections made on this floor to proper
proposition. First you say II cannot be done at all;
that Congress has no power to give the President
or Secretary the power sought and the next mo-
| ment declare II to be the law already. democratic
| applause)
| Mr. Bailey argued that the amendment was in
order at point referring In support Of his po-
siton TO a decision In the XLNth Congress that an
| amendment need not be germane TO the paragraph
| or section to which 1t offered. but must be
| germane to the general provisions OF the measure
| On the general question of trusts. Mr.. Bailey said
| that II the Republicans would aid the Democrats
in their efforts protect the people from trusts,
! he would guarantee them an opportunity so to
| vote.
| Mr. Hepburn (Repr Iowa) said the amendment
was not only not germane to the bill. but abso-
| lutely destructive Of It's purposes. Democratic
TOO SOON TO LAUGH
Don't laugh vet" Mr.. Hepburn said. There
| Is the sugar schedule, from which we expect to

side may form combination and. without intend

| compelling the Secretary Of the Treasury to put
| Tho FREQ ncf a M CT
TO wool Free traders, thinking II should go on the
| free list might easily form sham trust TO con
mol the price Of that article, and by compelling II
to be pla ced on the free list destroy that industry
| Mr. Bailey returned his thanks TO the gentleman
from Iowa for his frankness In admitting that his
| obiections TO "our efforts TO destroy trusts are
| that they will interfere with the objects OF the
| bill" democratic applauseD
