sumptioa. There is something peculiar about
that. You know there is u trust behind that
business. aud you know thur MIR. Havemr, er,
OF New York or Brooklyn. is the head OF the
trust. and you know that the entire sugar I'm
ported IL to the United States is bundled or
dominated by this trust. Mr.. Havemeyer came
over from Brooklyn and made Il CALI ON the
committee ON ways and means that had the
bill In charge. We asked. IN the course OF this
debate. II there had not been II visit paid them
by the head of the sugar trust. Mr.. iireckeu-
ridge said. mo, no: they had seen Mr. Have.
meyer, but they hud seen him socially. that il
ali; they hadn't seen him officially; had just
seen him socially" How lovely in Mr. Have
meyer To- have OverloOke. the list of two thHu-
sand people that he might have called on va
New York or !iruoklyn. but he didn't. aud he
came over and he paid II social visit, mark
you. How kind In Mr.. iinveIueyer To pay At
social visit To the committee that had charge
of his sugar business. What is the cunsr-
qHehce OF Inc refusal tO put these sugars on
the free list? What is the additional meaning
Of H.! why. IL means that il would cost them
about two mills or three mills on the sugar con
tanning the best sIcchHriuc matter, although
it looks inferior. and the! may advance IL one
cent aud that advance of one ceut meaIs Iu
advance of thirty million dollars upon the sug-
ar consumed IN II eur, beside the thirty-eight
millions collected as IL revenue tax. if you

coal. and God knows we do. We consume one
million dollars worth OF bituminOus coal u
year, and yet we consume II with II tax which
they refuse to take off. and why not? BecauS'.
Pcnnsy lTanii prnducts coal, and because West
Virginia produces coal. and OH Virginia AMI
Alabama, and Tennessee. l undertake Ia suJ
that Ihis law Is IL trick, II conspiracy. lt IS moi
IL law. (Cheers) The rep. esentatlVes from
Virginia said to the committee, W have got
To have coal protected, because we are begin
ming to have an enormous trade III coal at
Newport, on the James river. where the ships
are beginning To coal" and they said, More
than that, we have democratic votes behind
Us, and we demand that the tax remain upon
coal, aud So 1t Remains III coal.
Mr.. CLARITY, II representative from near st.
Louis. SAID, The protection has got to remain
Oh certain characters OF glass; and fit dou't,l
will he beaten:" and so Instead of making the
reduction they let it remain. The bill us re.
ported struck the duty Oft marble. The Ten
nessee quarries said, have got 10 have the
duly in order that we may mp with Yer
mont" So then, Mr.. McMiilcn, IL democrat,
offered an amendment TO restore the duty on
marble, ANA 1t WIS put back. Mr.. Ford. con
gresSman from Minnesota, wanted The duty re-
stored upon i; certain kind of plate glass ami
sIlvered frames. They must have the duty IT,
stored because has people ut GrandS Rapids

50, the committee of the House adopted an
amendment to supply the wants of this demo
crlt. that Is the Kind of Il oil that is built up by
The congress OF the UnlIed states. IN which iii"
rights and interests of the north were sold he

pay for their rights and privileges i'll the bill.

Here is something we will talk about for ii
second. That is the sugar Manufactured in
Kansas. That is il northern product. We did
" atSh q NN"' u - " " I wv
asked slmpy this much, that the government
of the United States furnish US money To
make experiments out here and demonstrate
that this can tie made, ITS has been done in
Kansas. That is Il very small portion of the
sugar tnat has been made ut " Ichita. Kansas.
They made half il million pounds OF that sugar
there, this year. They sell ut live cents per
pound. The cane can be raised from ten To
fifteen tons per acre. The FARMER can sell it at
the factory at - per ton. Ii is no conjecture. Ii
Isl certainty, ami there exists Il demand Tor itiu
this country which cunsI;mes three thousand
million pounds, for which we spend serenity
eight IN iiipu dollars, and on top of that and
l,ided To- ,hIJ, nifty SIX TO tifty-eignt millions of
duty, and on top of that Il DrlUe paid 10y Mr..

NeDruska. What have they done with the
Mills bill? TI.ey have given rec wool. They
have given you free lumber free salt, ana they
have put your meat On the free list. Forty
seven million dollars worth of beef in the
state of Nebraska, III d seven million dollars
worth OF pork, and our Democratic friends
have given tree meat IL this country, so that
anybody on Gods earth can come here and
supply the American market with nearly
everything that you raIse. Does that commend
it to Gu as ii pIldtaLlr measure!
Another thing that Mr.. Hastings goes around
saying. that is, that you get here, b. my vote

then. in the name of God, take the duty off OF
the product which our people use in binding

party do with that: Why, they voted that
down.
