Representative Scott of Illinois In- - I trodueed a resolution instructing the ways and means committee to report a hill pro. viding for such repeal, and asserts with e that a majority of the democratic members will favor such a bill. The resolution dee ; ares that since July 1st last, the claim for bounties amounts to mil-lions of dollars, imposing a grievous burden upon the taxpayers. The payment of this bouuty is intended to bo a gift gratuity by the government to one clrss of persons engaged in a pri-vate enterprise, the burden of which is to ho borne largely by the poorly paid wheat, corn, cotton and other agricultural products of the country, together with the vast army of wage earners of the land. It further cites the decision of the su-preme court by Justice Miller that to lay w ith one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals, to aid private enterprises and to build Op private fortunes, is none the less robbery because it is done under the forms of law. The resolution was referred to the ways and means committee. Trj Ing to "Bust" the Lehl Su(rar Farlory. A Feb. 12.
