Senator VOORHEES, has ever been a
steadfast friend of the South and
the speech which he made the
other day in opposition to the Force

same fire which made his oratory
blaze twenty years ago. In the
course of his powerful argument
against the bill he took occasion to
call attention to the fact that it was
the marketing of the rich crops of
the South, which the Force bill is in
tended to destroy, that prevented
the country from being ruined by o
financial panic. Senator Voorhees,
said

Free Trade ama Sugar.

1t has alwas been the great con.
tention of the Republican party,
which has just placed sugar on the
free list, that it was the only party
under whose fostering care the sugar
planters of Louisiana could find pro.
lection and with it remunerative
security for the great staple. To
demonstrate the utter fallacy of
these claims it is but necessary to
recall the fact that that while iron
and machinery used in considerable
quantities by the sugar planter is
protected BY upwards of one hundred
per cent tariff he was begrudging &C.
corded the pitiful protection of ten
per cent. The charge that the Free
Trade element of the Democratic
party would, If in power, wipe out
the sugar industry by abolishing the
tariff and giving no bounty by way
of compensation meets q most en-
phatic denial in the well defined
policy Of the party and finds recent
confirmation III the following inter.
view of the Hon. Frank Hurd, OF
Cleveland, Ohio, the great Free
Trade apostle and leader of the
West -
AS to the abolition Of the sugar
duty, I say that sugar is a revenue
article, and % long a. a tariff il
the duty should remain on
Nine-tenths of the sugar
consumed in this country is produced

it were laid upon sugar, $40, OO0, 900
would go into the Treasury OF the
States and 100000.
