you in the words IF the oldest, most Q,
perienced spokesman Of the Republics
party now in public life. | refer TO th
pon. John Sherman Of Ohio; Republ
oan in Congress for many yesrs; senate
fos mary years, end formerly Sec etar
of the United States Treasury; man @
largo experience. Ir. Sherman hal, in
few words, which I will rYsd to yor
mated the cas-. This re did debate i
the Senate, He mAde the s, ssch on th
29.h OF September, and he withheld il 70
casetul revision. So that what ia her
nov we may take a. Mr. Ahormalls sum
mary of this important bill. Let me rssi
you what be says, after going over tn
bill ina very general way:
Il fear, very much, that the power
still resting with these rshners"-ha wa
speaking on the great subjset Of til,
sugnr-"will euable them to control s
monopoly OF the sugar market on the sei
coast, while the great body of ehe sugar
hersaFter should be produced in the in.
terios."
Tnen passing to the Hubiaot OF Irvine
hs speaks OF the binder-twine:
"Binder tWius is not made in Europe;
but, without protection, it soon will bt
md replacs q domestic industry. After
ali, manufacturers Of binder twine did
verv much es other human beings will do,
as farmers will Romel mes do-they took
advantage Of the enormous demand for
Irvine, tho q tioiont poly Of raw ma
tsrial, to secure tho highest market price.
1 never knew n farmer to refuse to take
Sc bulhel for wheat when he could
get it. Nsverihslesa, | think the
dealers il Irvine have done what
was inexpsdient-they have excited a
feeling moDg the great mass of our
farmers ia the West of strong antagonism.
When the farmers were compelled to pay
20 cents pound Cor Irvine they felt that
they wege outraged and wronged. But
the question with as as Legislators is not
whGther we Will punish dealers in bind-
lug twine for chae7 ing unreasonable
pslces, but w0at policy ought to be
adopted SO as to secure cheaper binding
tWine ia the future"
ana again:
oar. President, the great obstacle and
menace that stands in the way Cf the sue.
cass o. the tariff bill, that which more
tAaa NIL elsa will determine its length Of
life, that which will tust ita wisdom here
after, is the question which has been dis
uusssd heretofore in tha senate, whether
the manufacturers of taia count are
willing 10 maintain free and fair compe.
tlton in theig ysrioua productions, SO
that the people may have the beneft u
thaf which ttey oiaim as their right--Eree
