II protected the labor of this country
from the wohsh pauper labor of the
world But how could any one contend for
protection to the labor of the shops and
mills and deny it to the labor of the
fields? The farmer competed with the
world If this bill was not just the coun-
try would be plunged again next year into
the agony of tariff agitation. 1t II was
just il might endure.
Mr. Cannon said he hoped that IL might
endure with slight notifications Tor many
years because this country was waiting
for the settlement of a greater question
than this. This proposition offered by him
for export bounties on agricultural sta
pies he said, was first called TO his at
tention by David Lubin, at the meeting Of
the Mississippi congress three
years ago. He had opposed II then, but
found he had been wrong In answer 20
question by Mr. Allen, Mr. Cannon said
the amount to be paid by the government
In export bounty under his amendment
would be A7, $50. He argued that the
American farmer was obliged TO sell his
wheat and cotton at the low prices pre-
vailing in free trade countries OF the
world, while he bought his supplies az the
high rates of protected market. His prop
osltion was designed to overcome this In
equality. He maintained that the era OF
prosperity so much sought would not come
until it started from the farmers.
Mr.. Cannon spoke until shortly before
3 o'clock, and was followed by Mr.. Butt
Ter Of North Carolina, who spoke against
the heavy burdens the bill placed upon tile
farmer He favored Mr.. CannOn's prop
osition as a measure that would correct
the inequalities OF the tariff bill, which
bore heavily on the farmer and gave him
none of the benefits OF protection.
Al $50. the bin was laid aside. The Sen
ate held an executive session, and then

descend the Nile, for the Mshdists
blocked the way. He could not fol-

other tribes had been killing whites,
and if they did not murder Junker
they would at least detain him as . pri-
soner: Arab traders would not take
him in their caravans for fear they
would lose the friendship of the native
chiefs along the road. At last the doc
tor went to one of the traders with this
proposal:
"You cannot take me with you rs .
friend" he said, "but you can take me
as slave. Look at this" And DIR.
Junker showed the trader an order
