Kentuckians Defend Whiskey.

"Ah.' said Mr.. Mann. II have known
Kentuckians who regarded 1t as botp food

Amid more laughter and applause Repre-
sentative Stanley, OF Kentucky, jumped to

Mr.. Mann smilingly admitted that Ken
lucky whskey is much superior TO the
neutral spirits made IN Illinois and called
whskey.
Opening the debate. Representative Tn
derwood declared that few Of the articles
named in the free list bill now bring any
great revenues to the government. The ex-
ceptions, he said, were cotton bagging and
buriap. He took the view that the govern
ment might we'll lose the revenue on these
If the free listing Of bagsing enabled the
cotton industry to obtain better material
abroad for baling the product. American
bagaing he said had proved unsatisfactory.
This free list bill is not offered as COM
pensation to the farmer for the products
of his that were put on the free list IN the
reciprocity BILL" said Mr.. Underwood, be
cause we do not believe the passage OF the
reciprocity agreement will in any way
affect the farmers income. One Of the OBJ
'ects OF this hill is TO remove from the pro-
tected list those implements that the farmer
uses I'm producing his crop. The other pur-
pose is to reduce the cost OF living TO the
masses by putting their food products on
the free list"
Mr. Underwood announced that this was

vision OF the tariff I'VE purpose 10 revise
