Discussion of the Silver Question Oc.
cupies Both Houses.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-After prayer
and the reading and approval Of the
journal, before a small attendance of
members, Mr.. Burrows (Rep., Mich.)
offered resolution giving Charles E.
Belknap the right to contest the seat
of George F. Richardson from the
Fifth district of Michigan. Mr.. Rich
ardson asked that the resolution be laid
over and it was so ordered. The silver
debate was then resumed, Mr.. Hutch
inson Dem., Tex.) concluding his re-
marks in favor of free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Blanchard Dem, Lay who fol-
lowed Mr.. Hutchinson, also advocated
free coinage.
A Republican View.
Mr.. Grosvenor Rep., o. said that it
was to be regretted that the president
in his message to congress had not
been so void of partisanship as he had
asked the two houses to be. The presi-
dent had declared that the Republicans
had been responsible for the present
condition of affairs and this declaration
would be the origin of political discus
sion-if political discussion there
should be. He then read the message of
President Buchanan to congress in 1857
and he subtly intimated that President
Cleveland had been guilty of plagiarism
in his message to congress.
Mr.. Hall CDem., Mo.) spoke in favor
of greater volume of currency and of
free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Snodgrass Dem., Tenn.) could
not vote for the Wilson bill. 1t at
tackled but one sentence in the Sherman
act and did not carry out the intention
Of the Chicago platform.
The house then adjourned.

The Sugar Schedule of the
Tariff Bill.

from the national capital. the
Ways and Means Committee deci-
ded to depart from the rule they
have hitherto followed, Of refus-
ing to give out information as to-
their action on various schedules
of the tariff bill, in the case of the
sugar schedule, in order to defeat
the plans of spectators, and yes
terday furnished such information
as will afford a general knowledge
of the changes to be made in that
schedule.
According to this announce
ment, the duty of refined sugar,
which has hitherto been 1-2 cent
per pound, will be reduced to IA
cent, while raw sugar will con-
tinue on the free list, as at pre-
sent. The bounty provision OF
the Mckinley tariff is to be SO al
tered as 10 diminish the amount
of bounty one-eighth annually, so
that it will disappear altogether
i'm eight years.
If this announcement he con-
firmed, and it certainly looks
plausible, it may be asserted,
without fear of contradiction, that
the proposed sugar schedule will
fail to give satisfaction to all III
terests. 1t will be violently OPP
posed 10y producers, because it
not only proposes to materially
reduce the bounty and cut it off
before the proposed time, without
compensating tariff duty, but al
so deprives the producers of one
half of the present tariff protec-
ton of 1-2 cent per pound Oh the
higher grades.
The schedule will prove very
injurious to the refining interests
of the country, because it will re-
duce the protection they now en-
joy 80 per cent, and largely de-
prive them of the power of COM
peting with European refined SUI
gar on which an export bounty is
paid. Lastly, the proposed sche-
dule will disappoint and displease
all those who believe that part of
the Governments revenue should
be raised by a sugar duty, as it
not only retains raw sugar on the
free list, but proposes to cut down
the present duty Oh refined one
half. g.,
In continuing the bounty for
eight years longer on diminish
ing scale, the committee practi-
cally admits that it is a sort of
contract between the producers
and the Government. This is
precisely the view the producers
take of it, and, consequently, they
see no reason why the law should
not remain in force unilnpaired
during the full period agreed up
on at the time the producers prac-
tically surrendered the tariff duty
in consideration of 2 cent boun-
ty for fourteen years.
The proposed cutting down of
the duty on refined sugar one-half
is a more serious matter to the
producers than may appear to the
average reader Such reduc-
ton would not onl y enable foreign
refined sugar to compete in Amer
lean markets, but it would also
permit Cuba and other sugar
countries to ship high-grade plan
tation sugars to the United States
to sell in competition with our do
nestle high-grade sugars in the
grocery trade.

The South Heard From.

sistency of the south in voting for
free trade at presidential elections
and afterward coming up to con-
gress with their appeals for con-
tinued protection to southern in
dustries. The Washington dis
patches printed yesterday corro-
borate everything the Journal has
said on this subject and furnish
the strongest proof of the feeling
in the south Oh the tariff so far as
it concerns the industrial interests
in that section of the country.
Southern delegations, composed
of Democrats who voted for Gle
veland and tariff reform a year
ago, have just been to Washing
ton, not simply to appeal, but to
demand that their coal, lumber,
rice, sugar, iron ore, etc, shall be
protected by tariff duties. They
inform the ways and means COM
mittee that if their demand is
ignored "the south might cease
to kiss the hand that smites them.
They tell the committee that the
great industries of the new south
would go to smash without pro-
lection, and strongly intimate that
the Democratic party of the south
will go the same way if free trade
is forced upon them.
This is very refreshing. What
i'm the name of common sense did
these southerners vote for last
fall? They knew that Mr.. Cleve-
land stood for nothing else than
tariff destruction and that the
platform which he ran on and
now stands on demands the total
abrogation of the protective poll
cy. But the industrial south vot-
ed for the change, just the same.
They voted not for free trade, but
for anything to beat the Republi-
can party. And now they come
up in large delegations to Wash
ington to demand that the bene-
fits of Republican legislation to
American industries and Ameri-
can labor shall be continued.
They come to the administration
and to congress and warn them
that the greatest political issue
before the country at this time
must not be settled according to
the Democratic contention and
creed, but that it must be let al
one, so far as their interests are
concerned, and that the south will
resent any attempt to overthrow
the Republican policy of protec-
ton. tsfff "
Ye gods, this is a sight worth
seeing Southern Democrats, who
hate the very name Republican"
rushing to Washington to plead
with clubs in their hands for the
retention of the Republican tariff;
confessing by their statements
that it is only through the wise
Legislation of the Republican par
ty that it has been possible for
the south to develop her great i'll
dustrial resources and reach its
present stage of prosperity. They
come now demanding that these
blessings, bestowed upon the south
by the Republican party, shall be
continued, and give solemn utter
ance to direful threats to the par
ty that needs not their demand.
1t isn't politics with them now; it
is business.
Thus again are we reminded
that the administration is con-
fronted with a Condition which
makes it's Theory look in vain for

The sun., 1893-05-25

A few weeks ago The Sun spoke of
a project being agitated at Elbow
Lake for a potato starch factory, and
made suggestion that such thing
might be useful to this county. Our
enterprising townsman S. Stewart,
who never let's grass grow under his
feet, comes out with the proposition
that if farmers will guarantee him
the product Of 800 acres of potatoes
he will agree to have starch factory
ready to use them in October next.
This is a bold, brave challenge to the
farmers who have been raising wheat
for the special benefit of pits, rings
and corporations. Mr.. Stewart will
guarantee the price Of potatoes at 20
to Is cts. per bushel. Now a moder-
ate yield Of this crop would be eco
bushels per. acre; take this at the
minimum price and you have $40 per.
acre, or as much as four acres Of wheat
would bring. True there is more
Tabor with potatoes, but when tie
extra labor is counted they would
pay better than wheat at IS cts. per
| bushel.
There has been nothing proposed
lately that looks SO plausible for the
benefit of the farmers as this. Il
would be one long stride towards
diversified farming; thing SO much
needed in this Northwest. If the
farmers are as ready to take the STEP
as Mr.. Stewart is, the question will
be solved at once. Mr.. Stewart Au-
thorizes us to name Monday the 20
inst. for the farmers to meet him al
his Office in Morris, for the purp ost
of bringing the matter into shape
We hope every farmer in the county
who is tired raising so ct. wheat vii
come to that meeting.

Did you ever fish-for game fish, l
mean-for trout, black pass, muskal-
longe, piekerel-I care not which?
All there's a sensation! You are be-
meath blue sky, in cooling breeze
with the green drapery of Nature
gladdsning every view. But you are
uncertain whether you are to have
any sport or not: just little tird
and discouraged-thinking of going
back to your camp or trying some
where eels-when ri p!!! what's that?
Your line pulls, your rod bends, you
have got dandy-a two FOUNDER, at
least. Then follows one minute, or
five minutes of keenest, wildness,
most magnetic, thrilling pleasure.
What is it? Will you get it? Oh,
thunder! It's off; but no, no: there it
is again. Give it little line: reel it
steady and slow. There! see that! a
black bass-a big one-it leaps foot
from the water! Oh, my friends, take
your dreamy waltzes,y your ruddy wine
your demoralizing cards, your horses
and your boats; but give me an hour
at good fishing ground, and I'll
ask no more" The enthusiastic ang-
Ter who utterd these words would
find his paradise along the east side
of the Mississippi River, from Du-
buque to St. Paul. The great river
is well stocked with black bass, pike,
pickerel, and other varities, and from
La Crosse north many clear and
sparkling brooks swarm with the
speckled I" brook trout" affording
delightful sport. The legal season in
the state of Illinois and Wisconsin
varies somewhat with the kind of fish
sought, but may be said generally to
include about all the time from the
middle of May to the first Of October.
The Burlington Route is the line by
which the fishing grounds on the
East side Of the Mississippi can be
most conveniently reached, and any
detailed information desired will be
cheerfully furnished on application

May Weather.

Below will be found the weather
predictions by Rev. Irl Hicks, the St.
Louis prognosticator:
Cool days and frosty nights, following
last April storm period, will give place to
warmer stormy weather about I'd and Sd.
Sharp, frosty nights need not surprise two
or three days before the 7th or Sth, about
which days it will turn very warm, and
active storm are liable about 8th, 9 and 10th
Temperature will fall to the frost line after
the disturbances of this period. The 18th
and 18th will bring sudden and extreme
warmth, with much tendency to cyclonic
storms on and about those dates. Watch
them! Cooler up to next storm period,
running from 18th to 22d. About these
days expect very warm weather to end in
hard storms. This is true, also, for the
25th and 26th and dates touching them
May will end growing warmer, with storms
brewing and moving from the west.

The change of time on the noon
train without notice through the press
created some amusement as we'll as
disappointment on Monday. W. H.
Shipman, of Wisconsin, who has
spent the winter with his brother-in
law John House, made arrangements
to go home on Monday. He left the
hill in proper time, grip in hand for the
debot; but when he stepped onto the
platform five minutes before II, NJ,
there was no train in sight. He
looked up the road and down the
road; he then looked at his watch,
which indicated the correct time; he
then went into the depot to look at
the regulator, and that also was cor
rect; from there he went across to
House & Munro's warehouse, to ask
if John observed any thing wrong
with his head? John after a good
laugh told him the train had gone 40
minutes ago. He thought he would
not follow it as it was then "full 20
miles away; SO he waited another
day.
