PROTECTION FOR SUGAR.
PROTESTS AGAINST REDUCING
THE TARIFF.
Louisiana Planters ClamOrlng for an
Advance Over the Present
Fate.

WAsHIEGToY, March l0.-The sugar
clauses Of the Morrison tariff bill
were discussed before the Ways aad
Means Committee to-day.
REPRESENTATIVE X ng oil Louisiana
entered a protest against reduction
Of the import duty on sugar. Sugar,
he said, was a most important revenue
producer, and in these days Of in
creasing pensions it behooved the
committee to act slowly in changing
the duty. II would be better, In his
opinion, aud from a revenue stand
point, 10 remove duties on the neces-
saries Of life, such al clothing, shoes,
nails and blankets. From protective
point of view, he also favored the inn
position Of duty on sugar. Mr.. King
inEtlpced the course OF coffee before
and after the removal CT duty as prob.
ably foreshadowiDg the effect of a
similar aston in tina case of sugar.
There was great danger that the
United States, by removing the duty
on sugar, would foster monopolies
abroad.
John Diamond Of New Orleans said
the sugar industry bad risen steadily
from the wreck LEI by the war, show
ing in five years an increase of 500
per cent under duty averaging &c.
per pound. When the duty was re-
duced in 1870, aad the Louisiar a
planters were forced to compete with
foreign slave labor, the industry was
paralyzed. The present rate of duty
did not equal the difference in cost
between American free labor and
slave labor. The planter had also to
compete with German and French
beet sugars protected by government
bounties. Those sugars were now
coming TO the United States. The
Hawaiian free sugar was also destroy
ing the local markets. The treaty
should be terminated. The govern.
ment had lost S23, 100000 Of revenue
without adequate compensation. The
adoption OF tho Mexican reciprocity
treaty would be still more disastrous
in its effect upon the sugar planter.

SENATOR EpMUNDs,s sPEECH.
How IL was Received by Democrats
and Republicans.

NEW YoRK, March l0.-The Suns
Washington special says; "Mr. Ed
munds's opening speech yesterday in
the controversy between the Senate
and the executive was one OF his
greatest efforts. He had two or three
months in which to prepare it, and Il
was a most complete presentation of
his side Of the case. He piled prece-
dentupon precedent for the Democrats

strong one being case In which HE
old friend, Allen q. Thurman, figured
as making demand upon the. Attor-
ney-C General precisely like his own.
The round OF applause with which the
crowded galleries greeted Mr.. Ed
munds's complimentary allusion to
Mr.. Thurman as the noblest Democrat
he had ever known, was remarkable
and significant demonstration, Mr..
Edmunds had large audience, both
in the galleries and on the floor. There
was some comment on the fact that
while the Democratic Senators, with
half a dozen exceptions, were atten-
tive listeners, the Republicans showed
lees interest in his speech. Gen.
Logan, who eat at the desk on Mr.,
Edmunds's right, got up and went out
soon after he began his speech. Mr..
Ingalls,, who sat behind him, coolly
read 3 newspaper. Riddleberger fed

seat. Little Malone eat unmoved on

gether and his head bent forward in
listening attitude. Representative
Randall strolled over from the House
for q few minutes to see what waI
going on, and half a dozen other Rep
Tesentstives occupied seats in the
Chamber. There was no ripple OF ex-
oitement in the proceedings. Mr., Ed
munds talked deliberately and with
the moderation of manner that he
showed the other day. His speech
was strong one. There we're evasionI

reply to that paper. Now, he con-
tinued, let il be true that this was not
a substantial executive power vested
by the constitution in the President
alone; let IL be true that like power oil
appointment the Senate should have
with the President the power OF re-
mOyal; let It be true that the power
of removal was q legislative power and
not an executive power and that the
entire regulation of 1t belonged alone
to Congress under the constitution.
Let all that be true, he would now call
the attention OF the expediency and
practicability OF such a power being
exercised by the Senate.
He read from the report OF the
minority, as bearing upon the point,
a portion OF an extract from the mes
cage OF President Grant in 1869, calling
attention 10 the embarrassment likely
to arise from leaving on the statute
books the tenure OF office act, and
asking what faith the President could
put in subordinates forced upon him,
and how such officials would be likely
10 serve an administration knowing
that II had no faith in them.
In conclusion Senator Pugh said his
obi sct had been to define the char
acter Of the conflict OF authority be.
tween the President and the Senate,
and 90 fortiiy the view that had always
been taken by the Democratic party,
and to foftiiy il by authorities. Mr..
Cleveland had no fear OF an appeal to
the people. He supp osed the msj ority
in the Senate had no fear OF appeal
ing to the people in favor OF the ON
impotence OF the Senate. He knew
the minority had none in appealing
10 the omnipotence Of the constitution
and the integrity Of Mr.. Uleveland's
administration.
Senator Wilson ia was recognized
by the Chair, but upon the suggestion
OF Senator Allison, consented to per-
nit the pending business to DO tenn
porarily laid aside until tomorrow in
order that the Senate might proceed
to consider the urgent deficiency bill,
which was then taken up by the
committee and an appropriation was
agreed to, sppropriatiDg $4,000 to
deiray the expenses Of Gen. Grants
funeral.
The item OF SlS5, OoO deficiency in
the Department OF Justice gave rise to
some debate.
Senators Edmunds, Iugalls and
Plumb commented on the fact that
the deficiency was greater than under
Republican administration, aud Sena-
tors Voorhees,, Beck, Cockrell and Call
defended the present administration,
and insisted that extraordinary ex-
penditures were necessary in Connec-
lion with the execution Of the laws in
| Utah.
Senator Teller said the reason why
deficiency bills came before Congress
at ell was because Congress did not dc
its duty in making appropriations in
the first place.
Senator Edmunds said he had heard
many Of the new district attorneys had
in their zeal for "reform" brought
suits without sufficient foundations
and that had probably increased the
expense.
Senator Beck wanted the bill held
over till tomorrow 30 that he might
look into II, but a maj ority Of Senators
wanted II passed at once, and it wa
accordingly passed.
The Senate then adjourned, leaving
the Edmunds resolution the untiI
ished business for 2 o'clock, Senator
Wilson la. having the floor.
