In his speech last week he took * up this paragraph and disclose<1 J it> unfair and sectional features in :l tlie following convincing manner: * 1 desire to call the attention-of v the senator in charge of this hill v I ... to paragraph .'14 'J, and inquire why ' a duty lio impotcd on jute bagging for covering cotton; \Vh.ilii.iii * another paragraph binding twine';' : is placed on the free list? If such dis imination can he <l defended, I am certain that s cli ' defense would he listened to with s great attention. If such a policy s can he justified hv any rule of national legislation, its advocate! .If should hasten to make the dise?f>- t ' sure. To my mind it assumes the J form of studied and pernicious1 ' sectionalism: of a deliberate a>id M premeditated :iU"inpl to punish j 1 the i'otion phf.ter of the South ' and favor the grain grower of the l* North and West.
