the bill, contending that one effect of the
treaty was the loss by the treasury of SO.
oooWO from the admission Of Hawaiian SUI
gar free of duty, that in violation of
the treaty, sugar grown in China, Cuba and
India, were introduced as Hawaiian sugar,
and that much of the sugar so produced was
ofhigher quality than was contemplated and
authorized by the treaty. Dibrell was fol-
lowed on the same side by Henry Ahron,
an expert on the subject, and formerly
special agent of the treasury department.
he estimated Hawaiian sugar imported in
violation of the treaty as three-fourths OF
the whole. Syrher, representative from
Louisiana, also advocated the alb
rrogation of the treaty, because
its existence promotes coolie slavery in
Hawaiaii which is prejudicial alike
to planters and laborers OF
the south and the sugar rehners
OF the east, who are discriminated against
by letting those of the Pacific coast have
their raw sugar free Of duty. He also
claimed that the increased importation
slnce the treaty went into opera
ton is much greater than
the productive capacity of the
Islands, which is an evidence that sugar not
grown in the Hawaiian island is fraudulent
ly imported into the country. Argument
Will be continued tomorrow.
