Of course, th meat may not be increased, but the purpose of the enactment of this tariff is to increase the price of meat. “Mr. President, we were told in the same debate, In'connection with the packers’ bill, that the growers of live stock do not get prices for what they produce in accordance with the prices paid to the packers for the product they put upon the market. In that connection it was conceded that the purpose of that bill was to insure better prices to the producers of live- stook, and it was urged, and an aj peal was mage to Representative Larticularly from the New Bngland States and the other manufacturing States of the Kast, to oppose the measure, it being advanced that {f, indeed, the price should be increased to the producers of livestock it would mean an increase in prices to the consumers of meat in the industrial centres, ONLY A BUNCO GAME ON THE PRODUCER. | “But the Senator from Massachu- setts (Mr. Walsh) disclosed, by elab- | orate tables prepared by the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agticulture, that such a conclusion does not follow at all, and that the prices exacted of the consumers bear no relation whatever to the prices the packers pay to the producers of livestock. “If the price of meat to the con- sumer will not go up when the price is higher to the producer of livestock, the price of sivestock will not go up when a higher price is paid for dresed meat to those who put it upon the market.” “Here is the proposition which confronts us: We are offering a subsidy to the meat packers of this country of something $300,000,000 in the hope that ti will divide with the growers of livestock this country... For myself, considering the history of the packin business, | am une wiling to indulge any hope of that charcter.” i ly The Wyoming Senator also showed up the bait that'is thrown in for the Senators from the corn belt, “lL have invited attention to some features of the bill which bear heav- fly upon the constimer and which, in my judgment, are essentially vicious,” | said he. “I wish now to speak of one| or two tl to use language that would pass out in our country, how- ever unparliamentary it may be, are pure ‘bunk,’ I refer particularly to the provision imposing a duty of i$ cents a bushel on cérn, the third item of the bill: ‘Corn or maize, 15 cents a bushel of 56 pounds “Referring to the statistical ab- stract, I learn that in the year 1919 we produced in this country 5,502,- 665,000 bushels of corn; that we ex- ported of that 23,018,822 bushels; that we retained for domestic consump- | tion, 2,475,646,178 bushels, and that the ‘net imports to this country are 46,463. In other words, in 1919, of corn we exported seven times ‘the amount that we imported and wo Produced seventy times the amount that we imported. I wish some ex- pert in finance would explain to me how, under those circumstances, the imposition of 15 cents a bushel on corn or $15 a bushel on corn would| advantage the growers of corn by a single cent. “| cannot bring myself to vote for a subsidy of $300,000,000 to the meat trust in the vain hope that it will divide on an equitable bas er on any: basis with the pro ducers of live stock. | am un willing to burden the householder of the country with an added su- gar bill of $160,000,000, one million of which would be contributed by the people of my State, in the in- fantile belief that the Sugar Trust’ and other refiners and manufa turers turn it, or any sub- stantial part of it, over to the farmers who produce cane or sugar beets. “These are not the only infamies in this measure, but they sufficiently charcterize it. “They not only char- acterize it, but they illustrate the natural tendency of every tariff bill framed on the protective prin- ciple to become a bundle of infamies. The frozen meat amendment appears here on the insistence of a member of the committee coming from a sec- tion of the country in which the lead- ing industry is the production of live stock and whose support it was like hey CHAPTER LX, 4 (Continued.) 6 HAT reminas me of a night when I was speaking in Havana,” said Honest Abe. “A man with @ ruffled shirt and massive gold watch chain got up .and vharged that the Whigs were ar- istocratic.

Iwas a poor boy working on 4 flat boat a: eight dollars a month and had only one pair of breeches and they were buckskin. 1f you know the nature of buckskin, you know that when it is wet and dried by the sun it will shrink, and my breeches kept shrinking and deserting the sock aren of my legs until several inches of them were bare above my shoes.

His is the majesty of a great intellect.” It was nearing midnight one night when Samgon and Abe heard foot- steps cn the board walk in front of the house.

In a few weeks the suit came on. It was tried in the new brick Court House in Chicago. Davis's defense, a6 given in the answer, alleged that the notes were to be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of lots and that in consequence of the collapse of the boom there had been no such pro- ceeds, His claim was supported by the testimony of his secretary and another and by certain letters of his, romising payment as soon as the land was sold, and by letters from the plaintiffs allowing that grace. As to the understanding upon which the notes were drawn, there was 4 direct issue of veracity for which Abe Lincoln was exceedingly well prepared. He had gained possession of many facts in the history of thu young speoulator, inchidingt the im- portant one that he had been cou- victed of fraud in New Orleans. Mr. Lincoln's cross-examination was us merciless as sunlight “falling rouna a helpless thing.” Jt was kindly and polite in tone but relentless in ‘its searching, When it ended, the weight of Davis's character had ‘been accu- rately established. In his masterly summing up Mr. Lincoln presented every circumstance in favor of the defendant's position. With remark- able insight he anticipated the argu ments of his attortey. He presented them fairly and generously to the court and jury. ' According tg Sam son, the opposing lawyers admitted in @ private talk that Lincoln had thought of presumptions in favor of Davis which had not occurred to them. Therein lay the characteristic of Mr. Lincoln's method in a lawsuit First he put the thing to be welghed on the scale fully and fairty. Then, one by one, he put the units of gravity on the other side s0 that the court and jury saw the turning of the balance. He covered the point at issue with a few words “every one of which drew blood,” to quote a phrase from the diary. He showed that the va- lidity of such claims rested wholly on the character of the man who made them, especially when they were op- posed to the testimony of people whose honesty had been questioned only by that man, “Now as to the secretary,” eald Mr. Lincoln, “I honestly regret that hi has disagreed with himself.
