Then he and the Democrats dis
covered that they had been outgen-

from the union calendar under a
special rude which united the mo-
tion to suspend the rules and the
motion that the bill pass, the special

money invested in ships flying the
German and British flags. There are
whole lines controlled by Americans
who would be only too glad to fly
the American flag over them"

Burton said the Hamburg American
dine, which received none, pays bet

ably seek returns from the sea.
