culed this, and had said that farm mort
cages were only a further evidence of
prosperity and wealth.
Why did not the committee treat sugar
as it treated wooden goods and cotton
goods and iron goods? Why did it not
put a protective duty on sugar and compel
its production in this country, and carry
out the protection policy2 The COM
mittee had found out that the wheat and
corn production was in danger and had
increased the duty. The United States
exported 90, 900, 900 bushels q year and
last year imported /, 946 bushels. Ot corn
81, 900. 600 bushels were exported and
2,3SS imported. This immense importa-
ton must be stopped. The commit &c
proposed to deliver the rye farmer from
all peril. How much rye did the United
States import? Sixteen bushels last year.
The majority of the compittee let portcul-
lis fall 10 order to save the cabbage patch.
They had placed a duty on cabbage and
that was the panacea for all ills, The
farmer could stand in his cabbage patch
and defy the world. This was the cab
bage bead bill.
The Republicans must do something
more than this in order to fool the farm
ers. This bill would almost stop the ex-
p~ortation of agricultural products and
her the Republicans would hear a storm
worse than a Nebraska cyclone. Agricul-
ture was chained like a galley slave.
When her bonds were rended and her
products exported to foreign markets the
price of products would be increased at
home and abroad aud the increased price
would extend employment to production
in all departments OF labor. The indus
trtaa nf tho aOupfr1r have laualnnal rAf,l
they produce Is per cent more than could
be consumed in this country. The sur
plus was constantly increasing and the
question was. what congress was going to
do about 1t. The Democratic way was to
let down the barriers and let the surplus
90 out to the people who wanted it and
take from other people what they did not
want and we did The people want a
foreign market AID they are going to
have it.
Discussing the sugar bounty clause. he
said the people who raised corn and wheat
and rye would step up to the counter and
say, I'VE will take some sugar in ours"
The Democrats were opposed to a sub
sidy. He wanted to see the flag of the
Union float on every sea He wanted to
see an American vessel in every port, but
he wanted to see those vessels float into
foreign ports as free ships, representing
free American institutions The Demo.
Gratis would not impede the passage OF the
bill. When the Republicans appeared
before the great American people after
passing their measure, the Lord have
mercy on their souls. Applause
The committee then rose and the houss
took a recess until 8 o'clock, when the de
bate was continued.
At the evening session 0'Donnell of
Michigan spoke strongly in favor OF the
sugar section.
Post of Illinois favored the bill and
took occasion to speak for the free coinage
of silver.
Stewart of Georgia and Ellis of Ken
lucky opposed the bill and the house ad-
