DISCRIMINATION MUST CEASE.

Washington, Jane 21. The action
outlined in the interview witb Bellamy
Htorrer before bis sailing for Europe,
looking to making vigorous representa
tions to Great Britain, Germany and
Belgium and doubtless to France, for a
modification of the discriminating
measures against American cattle, is
the result of the indefatigable efforts
of Becretary of Agriculture Wilson to
combat the prejtidioesof the Old World
against oar farm products and to secure
to our exporters at least the same rights
as are enjoyed by those ot other 'coun
Trts. f 15ver sihe the new administra
tion began, Secretary Wilson has been
pushing this matter. He has bad fre
quent interviews with the president
and Secretary Sherman on the subject.
Several new diplomatic appointees have
had conferences with the agricultural
department officials, at which questions
of this kind were discussed and the
situation explained. ' '
The state department is now co-oper
ating irJ the movement and in various
ways has Instructed its representatives
going to the countries named to state
their cause to the respective govern
ments, setting ont the discriminations
imposed on our products, together with
data showing them to be unjustifiable.
These statements will also show that
the restrictions placed on American cat
tle preclude any material danger ot
loss by disease or otherwae.
Official reports of experts in the field
will be cited to demonstrate that
American cattle products show a great
er exemption from disease than those
of practically all other countries.
These representations will be accom
panied by the significant warning that
if the nnjust discriminating measures
are continued, proper action will have
to be taken by this government. Dis
criminating nations will . be given to
understand that the rights of Ameri
can exporters must be recognized, or
else privileges accorded foreign pro
ducers will be withdrawn, f

Best Day's Work the Senate
Has Done So Far.
TWO SCHEDULES FINISHED
AplrIM, Wlnae, ' BYero-ee and Una
fartared Goode Flax and Wool Will
He the Weat U Com. ' r
t Washington, June 19. The senate
made greater progress today on the tar
iff bill than any day since the debate
opened. Two entire schedules, cover
ing 2Q pages, were completed, namely,
schedule 11, on spirits, wines and bev
erages, and schedule I, on manufactur
ed cotton goods. This brings the sen
ate to the flax schedule with the im
portant wool schedule standing next.
The portion of the bill passed today
is substantially the same as that re
ported, the committee changes being
unimportant, ' while the ' opposition
amendments of Jones of Arkansas and
Vest were systematically rejected by
majorities varying from five to ten. :
Allison secured tbe adoption ot a
new paragraph to the cotton schedule
with a view of compensating the cot
ton manufacturers for the recent ac
tion of the senate in placing raw cot
ton on the dutiable list.
In paragraph 289, on motion of Alli
son, the house provision wat restored.
The remaining paragraphs on spirits
(290 to 298 inclusive) were agreed to
as reported, without opposition. '
, The wine paragraph led to some dis
cussion. That on champagne and other
sparkling wines was agreed to as re
ported. Tbe committee paragraph on
still wines was perfected by striking
out the provision for an additional duty
of 8 cents on each bottle or jug and the
substitution of a provision that the
filled bottles or- jogs shall pay the
same duty as if empty. t ,,t
White presented statements from
representative wine men of California,
criticising the paragraphs on wines as
not affording sufficient protection.
White added his views that thegf
wines, brandies, and similar articles'
should be liberally taxed on the prin
ciple that they are articles of luxury,
although he would not. make the tax
prohibitive.
Vest said the rates were practically
prohibitory. In effect, it compelled
people to drink California wine or go
without wine. . , ,
The senate paragraph was agreed to.
' The paragraph on cherry juice, etc.
!21I8), was modified Iff the committee
to include the house proviso of "con
taining no alcohol, or not more than
eight per cent of alcohol," and thus
agreed to.
On ginger ale, soda water, etc. ,(299),
the committee changed the wording
from "other similar waters", to "bev
erages containing no alcohol." The
paragraph was then agreed to with a
committee provision that all filled bot
tles shall have the character of their
contents blown in the bottles.
" Schedule I, cotton manufactures,
was then taken up, the nrst para
graph (801), 'cotton thread and yarn,
was contested by Jones of Arkansas,
lie spoke at length on the ability of
the American cotton manufacturer to
compete against the foreign producer
without high duties. .
The debate, although on the first
paragraph of the cotton schedule, tot k
a wide range, covering the entire cot
ton question. . . ;
Jones of Arkansas offered an amend
ment in the nature of a test on the en
tire cotton schedule, proposing the
Wilson rates on cotton thread and
yarns. Rejected, 20 to 80, McEnery
voting with the Republicans in the
negative. The Democratic senatots,
Baoon, Clay, McLaurln and Tillman,
who had 'voted for a duty on raw cot
ton, were in the affirmative on this
motion to reduce the rate on manufac
tured cotton. After this content, rapid
progress . was made on the schedule,
the paragraphs being agreed to as re
ported. On motion of Allison, paragraph 815
was changed to exclude braids and gor
ings, inserting stntpenders and brace
at 40 per cent and reducing the rate on
labels for garments to 60 cents pet
pound and 80 er cent ad valorem.
Allison also proposed a new para
graph, 819),', with a view to meeting
the duty heretofore imposed on raw
cotton. He said the duty on raw oot-
! ton, if it remained in the bill, would
probably require an entire overhauling
of the cotton schedule at a later date.
The additional paragraph provides that
on all cotton yarns finer than No. 10
single, and on the goods manufactured
thereof, the duty shall be 10 per cent
in addition to the rates of the cotton
schedule.
Tillman said he was one of the Dem
ocrats Toting for a duty on raw cotton.
He avowed that he wanted the bill
loaded as heavily as possible, so as to
disgust the people and have them
"tnrn you out."
