Vest And Jones Fail

Washington, June 8.- When the agricultural schedule was taken up in the senate Tuesday Jones and Vest made Etrong efforts to have the duty on cattle, barley, wheat and other products reduced on the ground that the high duties on them were unnecessaryand merely intended to hookwink the farmers, but they failed each time and the committee rates were adopted. McEnery Rawlins and Tillman (Democrats) voted against their party on most of these motions. Bacon of Georgia offered an amendrr.ent placing a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem on raw cotton and it was taken up and discussed. Chilton opposed the proposed duty, saying it would do no goed. Egyptian cotton did not compare with cotton grown in this country. McLaurin took issue with Chilton and said Eg-yptian cotton competed with certain cotton grown in South Carolina. Vest said the Bacon amendment woulc' be adopted, as the Republicans would vote for it becauee it forwarded the scheme for breaking up the solid south. Vest said he would net have voted for the Chicago platform if it had meant what Bacon claimed for it.
