The Closing nahate.

In the final debate on the Mills Bill
Congressman Reed and Dingley acquitted
themselves nobly. In a running debate
Mr. Dingley said:
The House first fixed the duty on raw
sugar, such as Is imported, at specific
rate equivalent to about ~ per cent. The
Senate was forced by the fact that a
Louisiana Senator held the balance of
power to consent to an increase of the
rate. supposed then to be but little more
than so per cent, although, in conse-
auence of the decline of sugar, the ad
valorem equivalent proved little more
than that in the fiscal year ending June
30, 1884. SO that in fact the equivalent
90 per cent duty proposed by the Mills
bill on raw sugar, such as is imported, is
moIe than the equivalent al valorem on
such sugar intended in the revision Of
1888. No reason can be given for reduc-
ing advanced manufactures to 40 per
cent. al valorem which gives no more
protection than 30 per cent specific, and
/ keeping sugar at Sc per cent. specific.
Mr.. Dingley--I am here fghtng against
reductions that tend to destroy the indus
tries of this country applause on the re-
publican side and am here fighting TO
cut down duties on food-products not
produced in this country to any consider
able extent. In other words, | am here
4 lighting for protective tariff that will
give our home market to our own indus
tries You are fighting for tariff that
shall allow foreigners to come in here
and obtain control of our market.
Mr.. Wilson of West Yirginia-Why dc
you oppose every tariff for the benefit OF
4 tt 10 hut
monopolist and manufacturer?
Mr. Dingley-Talk about benefiting thu
farmer Here is a bill brought in here t.
slaughter all the farming interests in the
North, and then having slaughtered al
our Northern farming interests you i'm
pose upon them tax of 6S per cent. or
sugar and 100 per cent. on rice. DO you
call that bill for the interest of farmers
The Mills bill cuts to the point oil
danger or places on the free-list articles
which we can produce here to the exten
of our wants, and thereby invites impor
tations to come in and take the place OF
domestic products or goods, and places
its highest duties on articles which can
not be produced here to the extent of ou
demand and which are necessary as food
A republican protective tariff removes
entirely duties on articles which canno
be produced here, like tea, coffee, etc.
reduces duties on articles which can b'
produced here in small proportion to ou
wants, especially where they are articles
of common necessity, like sugar, ant
places duties on articles which can be pro
duced here to the extent of our wants a
such point as will practically hold GU
own markets for our own Industries ant

Advance In Sugar.

The most interesting feature in trade al
present is the sharp advance In sugar
which amounts to an increase of one cent
per pound on graduated sugar since the
last of June, and of fully half cent upon
raw sugar. This advance is largely due
to the restriction of production incident
of the operations of the sugar trust,
certain refineries being shut down to-
gether as a part of the scheme for con
trolling the market This movement has
been favored by a considerable deficiency
In raw sugars. The stocks of raw sugar
on hand are less by 81 900 tons than they
were year ago, and the deficiency in the
crop in the West Indies and the
philippine Islands is estimated at "a, DOC
tons. This is a season of the year wher
demands for sugar are heavy, and as the
grocers, pending negotiations with the
reflners, had suffered their stock on hand
to run very low, they were compelled BY
the demand for immediate consumption
to give orders which were in excess of
the capacity of the retineries. The ad
vance in prices was natural con
sequence.

The Fisheries treaty was under consid-
GRAFTON In the Senate Saturday, with
powerful speech against it by Senator
Teller.
Referring To the assertions that the at
titude of the Republican Senators on the
treaty had been dictated by caucus, he
declared that II had never been discussed
In a Republican caucus The Republican
Senators were against IL from its hrSi
publication, and SO were many Democrat
ic Senators. II the treaty had come from
a Republican administration he did not
believe a Republican Senator would have
supported 1t. and there was not Demo-
cratic Senator who would have supported
1t If 1t had not come from Democratic
administration. II any Senator desired
proof that the administration was an &C
tive promoter of the treaty he would fur
nish it. Proceeding To discuss the treaty
on its merits, he declared that American
rights to the fisheries were inherent, and
no more conferred by treaties than were
the boundaries of the Republic itself
| Speaking of the insults offered by Cana
dian cruisers to American fishing vessels
and of the hauling down of the American
flag on one of them, he said that no de
cent apology had been made for the act
and that this fact ought to make ever,
American ashamed. He knew there were
men in the Democratic party ashamed OF
it, but they had lost the courage to say
what they thought, and what all honest
brave people had to think, of such tran
sactions. There was not Senator who
did not know that not a nation on eartl
would have dared do the same thing to
ward Great Britain. The apology wa
not satisfactory but 1t was in keeping
with the whole course of the administra
ton In dealing with the British govern
mont.
