 My Dear Sir-I have your favor of the eleventh fn- stant. You are in error in supposipg that am op- posed to sugar being admitted free of duty. My objection is not to free sugar. but to the proposed method of making 1t free. If in the pending tarih bill sugar is placed upon the free list, we give to certain countries free market for $95,C O00 or their products, while they are not asked to open their markets to the free admission of single do- lar of American products. We ought to have in exchange for free sugar from certain countries free market for breadstns and provisions, besides various fabrics from all parts of our country. In short ought to secure In return Tor free sugar market for $6o 900 eco 0O00 worth of own products. It will not require reciproc- ity treaties to secure this great boon. The tarn bill can contain all the necessary conditions The legislative power is ample to secure the desired end Within the last twenty years we have given tne countries south of us free admission for nearly $60 GOO 900 worth of their products without receiving penny 6 advantage in exchange. If suaar bs now made internationally free we shall have given to 81bO GOO GOO of their products, It is time, think ! to look out for some reciprocal advantages We are a very rich nation, but not rich enongh to | In great haste.

sufficient to redeem those treasury notes. He believed that the only safe way to rehabili- tate silver was to secure concurrent agree. ment among the nations whereby they would open their hints concurrently to the free coinage of silver at an agreed rate. So believ- ing, he was willing to go on as they were go- ing on nov with provision for the use of silver pending negotiations that ought to be had for the restoration of silver on some agreed rate by the nations of the world. In supporting the bill he supported it on the basic idea that the government of the United States would use its power (whatever 1t had) in endeavoring to secure an agreement where by all the commercial nations of the world would use silver as gold was now used at rate to be agreed upon. He regarded the pending measure and the unanimity with which it was supported as complete iusti- fication of the legislation of 1878, which contemplated minimum monthly coinage of 3, 2,000. 900 silver dollars and maximum of 4,O00,000.
 MT. Eustis inquired whether the prospect of an international agreement for silver coin- age would be promoted by the pending law, l which would demonetize silver.
 MT. Allison excused himself from ansWer- | ing the question, pleading the shortness of time before the close of general debate.
 MT. Teller suggested that there would be l no objection to the extension of the time for l general debate. There were at least two 1 more speeches to be made and perhaps three.
 Mir. Allison then replied to Mir. Eustis questions to the effect that there was ao
 decentralization of silver proposed in the
 pending bill. It's provisions in that respect
 were the same as in the act of 1878, except
 that the pending measure provided for tht
 monthly purchase of half g million more o
 silver than the maximum authorized by th'
 act of 1878 did. Therefore there was noth-
 ing in it to justify the statement that tn,
 pending measure demonetizad silver.
 After further debate and without comini
 to any definite arrangement the senate wen
 intosexecutive session, and at 8:05 P. m. ad journed till to morrow.
