This report shows that the producers of jute consider cotton a great competitor. and it shows the trend away from jute and to cotton in the manufacture of bags for the use of potatoes and for the packing of wheat when cotton was 5 and 6 cents per pound. This report is a sad commentary on the failure of the Congress of the United States to afford the cotton farmer protection. It shows the dire results visited on him by forcing him into competition with the lowestpaid classes of coolie labor of the earth. and all the while he was forced to endure this unfair competition. every article which he is compelled to purchase is afforded some measure of protection. Do not talk to me about defeating this amendment on the ground that jute and cotton are not competitive commodities. The Senate has already voted into this bill a tax on whale oil to protect dairy farmers in the sale of products of cows.
