 REMARKABLE OVATION
Great Demonstration in Senate Was Unique in His-
 tory of That August Body

for their disposition at greatly reduced prices, thereby entailing a loss to the pro- ducers of live stock of the United States of millions of dollars annually.
 The measure seeks to throttle competi- ton, and if enacted will render useless the immense establishments erected at great expense for the manufacture of oleomar- garine, deprive thousands of employees of the opportunity to gain a livelihood and deny the people and especially the working men and their dependencies a wholesome article of diet
 In oleomargarne a very,1ar proportion of the consumers of this country, especially the working classes, have a wholesome, nutritious and satisfactory article of diet, which before it's advent they were obliged, owing to the high price of butter and their limited means. to go without.
 Manifestly Unjust.
 Your orator contends thatit is manifestly unjust, unreasonable and unfair to deny manufacturers of the product of the beef animal and the hog the same privileges in regard to the use of coloring matter that are accorded the manufacturers of the pro- duct of the dairy and that the rights and privileges of the producers of cattle and hogs should be as well respected as those of others and they the benefciaries in the manufacture of this wholesome ar tfcle of food, they should not be burdened "ieh uiluSCSSSdTy anu oppfeSSlNe Sp6Cidl taxes or needless restrictions in the man. ufacture of this product other than is ab- solutely necessary for the support of the government and the proper governmental regulations surrounding the handling of the same.
 Your orator respectfully contends that these products should receive at the hands of Congress no greater eXactions than those imposed upon competing food products, and that the manufacture of and sale of oleo- margarine is already surrounded by numer ous safeguards which Congress in its wis dom has seen fit to provide, stipulating severe punishment for selling the same der misrepresentation as to it's composition, and that this product has by experience proven to be just what a large majority of the people of this country want and that none but the dairy and allied interests are asking for or seeking any further legisa- tion in this matter, and their indorsement of the proposed legislation is purely and simply selfish.
 In conclusion your orator, in behalf of the producers and consumers of this great country, solemnly protests against the en- actment of the Grout bill or any other Legislation calculated to entail an enormous loss on the live stock producers of this country, to ruin a great industry, and to eeprive not only the working classes, but many others of cheap, wholesome, nu- trsttous and acceptable article of food.
