THE BOUNTY ON SUGAR
At l0:40 O'Clock the tariff bill was laid
neiore the Senate, the sugar schedule
being the pending question, and MIR.
Manderson, rep, Of Nebraska proceeded
to speak upon it. MIR Mauderson spoke
Tor three hours and half, the core Of his
argument being that there was a moral
oohgation ON congress to maintain the
hounty system and board under the
Mckinley act, and that it's maintenance
uhtlI 800, when 1t IS 10 cease, would
insure The home production of all the
sugar consumed in the United States and
thus keep here the S3l5 900. 600 year
which would otherwise he paid for sugar
10 foreign countries. He gave notice of
an amendment to continue in full force
and effect until July |, 1905, the provision
OF the law for the payment of bounty TO
sugar growers in the United States.
PETFER FAvoRs THE BOUNTY.
Mr. PETER spoke for over three hours
IN opposition to the duty on sugar, and In
laVor OF the continuance Of the bounty
arguing that the sugar duty was direct
tax on the poor man and that the poor
man ought not TO be taxed on what he
eats or what he wears or on ANY OF the
necessaries of life. After he closed his
speech he got into an amusing controv-
ersy with Mr.. Hoar rep, of Massachusetts,
over some Of the theories which no had
brought forward AT last the discussion
came TO a close and Mr. Hawley of Con-
neticut took the floor TO speak on the
sugar schedule, but as IL was within ten
minutes Of O'Clock he said that he pre-
ferred not TO 20 on with his remarks and
suggested that perhaps Mr., Harris, who
is in parliamentary charge OF the tariff
bill, had some executive business to be
disposed Of.
TO SIT LONGER HOURS.
Thereupon, Mr.. Harris, in most delib-
crate and impressive manner, delivered
himself as follows; ''In answer TO the
senator from Connecticut will say: The
country is exceedingly impatient at the
length of time that has been consumed in
the consideration of this bill. IL has a
right, in my opinion, to be impatient The
business of the country has suffered, and
is suffering day by day and hour by
hour, by our inexcusable delay. / give
notice that on and after Monday next, so
far as / can control IL, the sessions of the
Senate will be continued till much later
hours than heretofore. Now, in answer
TO the appeal of the senator from Con-
necticGt, / move that tho Senate proceed
to the consideration Of executive busi-
ness" Laughter.
After very brief executive session the
Senate, at 6:l0 p. M, adjourned until to-
morrow at 10 20 a m
