But I will sayin all frankness to the gentleman from Arkansas that had he consulted the American manufacturers of jute bagging. and followed their advice with the same blind faith that he has followed the views of the manufacturer from Calcutta. the reduction in this bill would not have been made. That is the trouble. gentlemen. you. have sought information from realms remote. You talk here today of the debilitated pauper labor of Calcutta. but yesterday. when you were defending your rice industry of the South. we heard of the "heathen Chineo" and his products coming here in competition with the rice grown by the Southern planter. You change to suit the occasion.
