imported moIaSSeS, which had, he said a
capital OF two or three millions invested In
IT, The business gave employment to 400
American vessels, paid over eight hundred
thousand dollars year in freight to them,
and had also extensive cooperage connected
with the business, and the whole industry
would be destroyed by the bill as absolutely
as If struck by lIgltn ng.
Manderson moved to amend Quay's
amendme mt by putting the proposed duty
of cent per pound on all sugar above No.
20, at eight tenths of one cent per pound, in
stead of l cent
Quay modified his amendment as sag
gested by Henderson.
German opposed the amendment, as in
the intere st of sugar retiners, giving them
an absolute monopoly. Vest also opposed it.
The refiners had now, he said, all they
wanted. They triumphed by the votes
taken to-day, which put into their pockets
millions and millions of dollars.
Quay's amendment was rejected.
The provision of paragraph 223, that in
case of an export duty imposed by any
country, sugars from that country shall be
subject to duties under the existing law,
after discussion, YVES Withdrawn.
Quay moved TO include sugars made from
maize stems among the sugars for which
a bounty of cents per pound is to be paid
Rejected
The principle on which the bounty was
to be paid on sugar from cane, sorgum
and beet was the encouragement which
was to be furnished 10 agricultural in
dustrles, but the proposition now offered
was practically TO pay u bounty of cents a
gallon on all mola .ses imported into the
United States. Frye's amendment was re-
| jected.
Henderson offered an amendment for the
admission, free of duty, of machinery for
the raj md rp-
funding OF duties collected on such
machinery since January |, 1889.
| Eustice moved 20 amend the amendment
so as to extend it to machinery for beet
and sorghum. Without coming TO d vote,
Aldrich said he would try and have all the
amendments voted on tonight, so as to
have the bill at the stage OF third reading
TO morrow morning. He also gave notice
that he would, for the committee, offer an
amendment that the bill shall take effect
| October /, $780, The Senate then took d
| recess.
At the evening session Casey addressed
the Senate in favor Of the reciprocity prop
osition.
Allison replied to the remarks made by
German this afternoon charging the finance
committee and Republican Senators with
discrimination against the south. He de
MED there had been any such idea enter
tanned. Wherein, he asked, had such dis
| examination been SHOWN =? Certainly not in
the matter of rice. Had the state of Texas
| been Disseminated against at the present
session Had not six millions been appro-
prlated for tie purpose of transferring
| trade from the eastern seaboari TO the
most important gulf port of Texas Did
| not the finance committee propose TO pro
tect the wool of Texas, the second or third
woolgrowing state of the union. He him
sell had undertaken to protect the hides of
Texas. The Senators from Maryland had
said there was not a line OF page on
the bill that protected industries in the
southern states. Where Allison asked, was
the coal of Maryland and West Virginia,
was not that projected! And where was
| the sugar of Louisiana and Texas! AND
did they not have a bounty of cents a
pound on the oranges OF Louisiana and
Florida which were better protected under
! the pending bill than the existing law. If
there had been any discrimination, it had
been in favor Of the south. He would there
fore vote for it and against Eustic; whose
amendment was rejected, with yeas and
nays, and Manderson's amendment was
agreed TO, yeas AZ, nays 12.
| OThe negative votes were given by Butler.
Cameron, Carlisle Cockreli, Coke, German,
Gray, Hearst, Seller, Regain and Wilson, OF
| Iowa.
Allison moved to reduce the sugar test
| from so degrees by polari TO rs degrees,
and argued that the 2 cents pound bounty
on sugar produced in the United States
would be neutralized by an European
bounty OF 2 cents per pound on exported
After further discussion the Senate ad-
| journed.
