Mr. Reagan opposed the amendment, and expressed his surprise that the pounty was not also to be_extended to maple sugar, He had been astonishied to sce the senators on the other side who representod agricultural communitics compellel by party exigencies and party discipline to Port i measure which distinetly and clearly sacrificed the interosts of tho states which they repre sented.

Mr. Giibson controverted lis statement and rescuted the insiduation that his coll and himsclf did not represent the good peo ple of Louisiana. Mr. Spooner favored the amendment. He said to the senator from Yexus (Reagan) that not only was that senator ‘‘not alto: gether justificd in the language he had used but was altogether unjustifiable in using it Such language would come with ill-grace from any senator, but it came with particu Larly ill-grace from u scnator, who, having once taken an oath to support and defend the constitution, jommed afterwards with sena b file isideration n being finance from beets, sor. those who sought t0 destroy and overturn it."! Mr. Spooner was asked to estimate the annual amount of the proposed bounty, and yave figures at: betwoen $5,000,000 and $6,000,000; but Mr. Allison interposed and gave figures, on a basis of the present pro- duction, at not more than 3,500,000, Mr. Gibson predicted —thut, unde bounty, the protection of sugar would in- crease five-fold every year, so that in five ¥ the bounty would éxceed the present revenue from sugar. Mr. Spooucr questioned the correctucss of that statement. He knew of nothing that savored more of seltishness than the senators of Louisiana asking that the duty on sugar, as fixed by the Mills bill, should be main tained as against the bounty pronosition, aud yet joining with their democratic brethren striko down every northera fndustry on the ist. Mr. Butler opposed the bounty as unjusti- fiable, but in any event he did not believe it fair and just to confine the bounty to sugar from boots und sorghum. He would also ex tend it to sugar cane.
