WASHINGTON -erTEH.

FROM our Resatr corresnona..nt.
WASHINGTON, June 16,-Onris-
ing to address the Senate on the
silver question, Mr.. Sherman SAID
that he had not intended to dis
cuss the subject until some plactI-
cal measure had been brought for
ward; because tic bill reported
from the Fiuancc committee was
only an uneasy ghost, wandering
without father, without compass.
without guide, with 10 one to call
for vote upon 4, and no one TO
demand solution Of the difficult
problem. But as he was comps He'd
to absent himself upon more i'm
! portant business, he availed HIM
self Of the present opportunity
to say something which he had
written. He harangue1 against
the free coinage idea, and quoted
certain figures from a government
report, the accuracy OF which was
instantly challenged by Senator
Teller. Mr. Sherman insisted that
the figures were fiom govern
ment report and therefore must be
correct, and wanted to know what
newspaper scrap would be brought
in to controvert what he had read.
Senator Teller still politely INSIST
ed that the truth had not been
told, and wanted to correct The
statement before 1T was made pub

not yield the floor.

Blaine is opposed to putting sugar or
anything else on the free list, unless it
is clear that something is to be gained
thereby in the way Of reciprocal trade
advantages. He makes clear his argu-
ment by using sugar chiefly as an ex-
ample. One hundred millions of dol
lars, worth of that article, he says, seeks
the American market every year. Most
of this comes from Cuba, whose markets
are protected against the products of the
American farm by heavy Spanish duties.
To open the United States to the produc.
ers of this island, and secure nothing in
return, not even an equally free market
for American provisions, would be folly
indeed. There would be the same re-
suit, the secretary claims, as ensued
from the opening of our market to the
coffee production of Brazil. To use his
own figures, since the repeal Of the duty
on coffee in 1872, we have imported the
products of Brazil to tie extent of
1921, 100000, and have sold to her
$3.50, 900 of our own. The differ
ence $$67l gu, 000-has been paid in
gold or its equivalent, and Brazil has
expended the vast sum in the markets
Of Europe. The figures show that the
disadvantage to our own country is one
that amounts to something. It is GER
tainly enough to make Congress think
long before it sanctions another step
that will place our producing interests
under a similar and even greater dis
advantage. 1t is all right that we
should have free sugar and free coffee.
but, as Cuba is to be benefited thereby
more than ourselves, why not make her
pay for what she receives. It is no
more business like nowadays to give
something for nothing than to expect
something for nothing. II a free mar
ket for sugar in America is worth any
thing to Cuba, and it certainly is-it
would be foolish for the American Con.
gress If it did not at least attempt to
secure some concessions from the Span.
ish government, which would richly
benefit American producers of bread:
stufs, before placing sugar or any othel
article on the free list. Such trans
action would be no more than fair, anc
at the same time it would tend to es
tablish closer trade relations between
the two nations. Blaine's idea. tina
our future commercial prosperity ane
development depends greatly, on tht
country south OF US, is q sound one, ant
Congress should do all in its power t
bring about that reciprocity with Soutl
America, which the able secretary has
50 earnestly sought to effect. At any
rate it is not going to DO any harm t
ask these countries to open their mar
skets as q return for the freedom o
ours.
