Quay offered an amendment, fixing the
duty between No. 10 and No. &c. Dutch
standard, at $40 of / cent per pound, be-
tween No. 16 and No. 90 at Clio, and above
20 at cent.
Henderson moved to amend. Quay's
amendment by putting the proposed duty of
/ cent per pound on all sugars above No. 90
at g. 10 cent per pound, instead of 1 cent.
Quay modified the amendment as suggested
by Henderson.
Gorham opposed the amendment as In the
absolute monopoly.
Vest also opposed it. The refiners had
now, he said, all they wanted. They
triulnphed by the votes taken to-day, which
put into their pockets millions and millions
Of dollars.
Quay's amendment was rejected.
The proviso in paragraph 1921, that in
case an export duty is imposed by any
country the sugars from that country shall
be subject to duties under the existing law,
was, after discussion, withdrawn.
Quay moved to include sugars made from
maize stems among sugars for which
bounty of 2 cents per pound is to be paid.
Rejected.
The next question on the Finance Com
mittee's amendment, to include maple sugar
among those for which a bounty is to he
paid, was agreed to-ayes 80, noes %.
All the other amendments referring to
maple sugar were agreed to, ard the time
for filing notices in connection with claims
for bounty, fixed as prior to July LIST, instead
of January, of each year.
Frye offered an amendment to pay a
bounty of l cent a pound on sugar from i'm
ported m0lasses. There was, he said,
capital OF two or three millions invested in
it. The business gave employment 10 400
American vessels and paid over SS00.000
year in freight to them. There was also
extensive cOOperage connected with the
business, and the whole industry would be
destroyed by the bill as absolutely as if
struck by lightning. The principle on
which bounty was to be paid ON sugar
FROM cane, sorghum and beet, as an encour
agement was to be furnished to domestic
agricul ural industries. but the proposition
now offered was practically To pay bounty
OF cents to the gallon on all ulOlaSSeS in
ported into the United States.
Frye's amendment was rejected.
Anderson offered an amendment for the
admission, free OF duty, OF machinery Tor
the manufacture OF beet sugar and tho re-
funding of all duties collected on such ma
chlnery since January ], 1880.
Eusti5 moved to amend the amendment
so as to extend it TO machinery for beet and
sorghum sugar
Without coming to q vote, Aldrich said he
would try and have all the amendments
voted OH tonight so as to have the bill at the
stage of its third reading tomorrow MORN
ing. He also gave notice that lie would Qor
the committer) offer an amendment that the
bill shall take effect October j, 1890.
The Senate then TOOK a recess.
At the evening SESSION, Casey addressed
the Senate in favor OF the reciprocity prop0-
Sili0n
Allison replied TO the remarks of Reagan
and German this afternoon, accusing tue FL
nance Committee ard Republican Senators of
discriminating against tie South. He de-
MED that there had been any such idea nter-
tanned. Wherein, lie ask d, has such dis
examination teen Shown? Certainly not in
the matter of lice. Had the State If Texas
been dscriminated against at the present ses-
transferring trade from the Eastern
seaboard 10 the most important gull port
| of TeXaSP Did not the finance committee
propose to protect the wooi of Texas. the
second or third wool growing State Of the
| Union? He, himself, had undertaken to pro-
| tect the hides of Texas. The Senators
| from Maryland had said there was not a
| line or page on the bill that protected in
| dlstry in the Southern States: Where,
| and West Virginia? Wasn't that protected?
| And where was the sugar of Louisiana and
| Texas. Did not that have bounty off cents a
| pound? The oranges OF Louisiana and
| Florida were better protected under the
| pending bill than the existing law. Ii
! there had been any discrimination it had
! been In favor OF the South. As to cotton
| ties, they had simply followed other manu-
| lactures of iron and steel, and as to cotton
| baggiDg it was as much used for the pota-
| toes Of New York and for the onions .of
| California as for the cCt.on crop of
| the South. As to the amendment offered
| BY Henderson to admit beet sugar machn-
cry free of duty up to July OH. he did not
| SEQ why that small boon should not be al
| lowed. 1t would do no more harm to any
| body and there would certainly be no dis
| elimination against the producers Of sugar
| from cane or sorghum. He would, there
| fore, vote for il. and against Eustis' amend
ment to extend the same privileges to cane
ana sorghum sugar machinery.
Eustls amendment was rejected without
I ayes and noes, and Mauderson's amend
ment was agreed to; ayes II, noes IL. The
| negative votes We're given by Butler, Cam
eron, Carlisle, Cockrel, Coke, German,
| Gray, Hearst, Teller, Reagan and Wilson Of
| Iowa.
Gibson moved to reduce the sugar test
| from So by pOlariscope TO 76', and argued
| that the cents Il pound bounty on sugar
produced in the United States would he
| neutrallzed by European bounty OF cents
pound on exported sugar, So there would
Cullom addressed the Senate in favor OF
reciprocity between the United Stases and
| other nations, especially Mexico and Cen
trail and South America He was not, how
| ever, in favor, be said, of such system Of
| reciprocity as would in the slightest degree
| interfere with the policy OF protection to
| American industry and labor. But IL
| was question in his mind whether
| it would not be better to allow
the whole question OF reciprocity to rest
with the President and Secretary Of State
who had constitutional powers TO make
treaties with foreign Governments. As to re-
| ciprocty with Canada, he thought the atti-
| tude OF the Dominion Government was not
| such as called for any speedy action looking
to reciprocity. That Government had pur-
| sued in many ways ard for many years O
| policy oil aggression toward the United States
| and in doing SO il acted under the dominion
! OF the Canadian Pacific Railway Company
| whose road had been built by and of Gov,
| eminent subsidies, not for commercial, put
for military and political purposes. He
mentioned the large subsidies given by both
| the Canadian and British Governments to
| steamship lines intended to divert Commerce
| from American ships and American railroad
| lines. He declared himself in favor of ma
tionai policy that would protect the interests
OF the United States against aggression
| from any foreign nation. He was protec-
tlonist not only in support of the Tariff
BIZ, but he was for protecting American
| Interests and the national honor in dealing
with all foreign nations. He referred to Il
remark OF Lord Salisbury in all address to 4
London club some months ago to the effect,
III Speaking Of the Behrins Sea difficulty,
that the United States was such a susceptible
nation that Great Britain could not neg tiate
"at lLe top of its voice" He regarded tina
| remark as insulting toward the United
States, and expressed the hope that the
time had come when the difficulties with
| Great Britain and her dependencies would
be settled hunorably to the United States in
open day, and that Lord Salisbury would
not be al owed to whisper the Secretary Of
State out OF American rights.
Reagan made some remarks in support of
his claim that the pending bill Disseminated
against the Southern section of the country.
| Spooner declared himself in favor of a
reciprocity provision, provided it indicated
the items and articles, but he would not
favor reciprocity with Canada. He hoped
to SEQ the day when the American nag
would fly over Canada and when the
| British flag would 10 gone.
Eyarts, speaking on reciprocity, proposed
to modify the committee amendment SO as
| to make it the duty of the President when
