Later on the same day the senior Senator from Massachusetts . ihl one of the most earnest. brilliant. aind effective speeches that I ever heard fall from the lips of that talented member of this bodyand I will read only the extracts hearing on this pointsaid: Now. as to the payment of tile tax. We make the maker of oleomargarine pay the tax for the inspection of his product. We collect from tie steamship companies. nominally from tie immigrants. a head tax to pay for that inspection service. When we put ihe Government label on these goods going out from the lacking houses. we give them it value which they could obtain in no other way. .especially after all that has occurred. and they ought to pay this expense. The inspection tax is a trifle. and it ought to be borne by those who are pecuniarily benefited by it.
