SUGAR
wish now 10 refer 10 the subject of
sugar The customs act of 1880 provided
that bounty Of cents per pound should
be paid from July /, 1891. until July 1. 1905,
upon sugar grown In the United States.
hs.ying on this law, agriculturis,s in the
state OF Washington nave been expert
meniing In the cultivation of the sugar
beet, and the soil and climate have proved
10 De admirably adapted for its successful
production / remember very well when
happened to be in the position of gov
ernor OF Warrington territory, that large
ff +
washington from sugar bcets, was sent 70
me. 1t vas sent to me in large glass Jars:
and similar Jars OF sugar were sent 10
osner parts Of the country for sxamina-
ton. and IL sas shown that we could raise
sugar beeis as well as they can be raised
anywhere else.
Negotiations have been set on foot for
the establishment of factories for the
manufacture of sugar from beets, and /
nave no doubt, IL the paralyzing hand of
congressional enactment is not laid upon
II. that this profitable industry will DO
largely increased by the farmers of the
state, who stand so badly in need of .
diversincation OF their products This
bill proposes TO absolutely repeal the
bounty clause OF the present law. The
government made contract with the peo-
pie and now seeks to repudiate Il, TO the
everlasting disgrace OF those who propose
such action. and who believe would be
ashamed Of such a dishonest proceeding
in their private business affairs. II is
true, that ia order to secure the votes Of
the senators from the sugar producing
Southern states. tbs finance committee of
the senate have imposed an import duty
on foreign sugar. but even IL the bill
should pass the senate what guaranty
have We that this will not be struck out
by the conference committee when the
ball goes back 70 the house for agreement
to the senate amendments
/ repeat, fear that many of the amend
ments that have been made by the sen ate
committee are merely intended as traps TO
catch votes enough TO secure its passage by
the senate. with the idea of Killing them
in the conference committee. As Virgil
says: 81 fear the Greeks when they bring
presents" Kindness proffered by an en-
envy is always to be suspected.
/ appeal TO the senate against this viola
ton of q contract which will throw an
other obstacle in the way OF the develop
ment OF the resources Of the state Of
Washington.
Mr.. President. have not undertaken to
go over the general subject so fully IS
should like TO have done. l felt IL 10 be
needfui that should present particularly
the point of view entertained by citizens
tries In which they are interested: and
there are other industries not mentioned.
TO which / may hereafter refer. | am
very much interested in the debate
on the tariff; and there are many
phases of the question which should like
TO consider. / hope that ultimately bill
will be perfected that will not be so dras-
tic. or so injurious TO the state OF Wash
ington. and that will not be so severe on
the people OF this country. | welcome the
proposed changes in that direstion. l do
not wish TO make capital out OF the faults
and failures of the Democratic majority in
congress at the expense of the people of
my state and the people OF this great
country. | hope the Democratic majority
will see at TO undo this work, SO far as 1t
has been commenced, and try its hand at
getting up different bill. or at least es-
sentially modifying the present bill.
LEr DEMOCRATS BE PATRIOTS
hope they will get rid Of this miscon-
struction OF the constitution expressed at
the Chicago convention. Get rid OF it, Do
not let IL envelope the Democratic party
until, like the shirt of Nessus, IL finally SO
emharrasses the party that IL can not be
extricated. Take higher and better
ground; take ground In consonance with
the Interests of the great majority OF the
American people. ana l believe che peo-
ple of the country will forgive this tempo
rary lapse Of consideration on the part OF
the Democratic party, OF the interests OF
the laboring men OF this country. Look
the ground all over, with pure and
patrietic intention and careful study, and
see If such a measure can not be presented
a. will recognize American interests. and
esneetally ths interests OF American labor.
Justly and fairly. not with view OF pro-
tecting trusts. not with view OF paying
lack money expended IN campaigns or OF
encouraging such institutions TO give
money for political purposes, out Win
view OF doing that which Is lair ana right
tosard capital and toward labor.
In concluding this appeal for Justice TO
the industries of my state. would beseeoh
the senate 10 be very careful how they de-
eide this momentous question OF change
in our tseai aud commercial system; let
this body consider most deeply and con-
s~ientiously the grave responsibility OF
imnslring or destroying the system which
has built up industries upon which SO
many thousands OF our fellow eisixens de-

I have seen ia many of the newspapers
of the country complaints that the action
