rected by the Democratic caucus to pre-
sent the bill placing iron ore on the free
list. Mr.. Wilson said he did not wish to

After the free sugar bill had been re-
ported Mr.. Robertson of Louisiana
offered an amendment reducing the
bounty on sugar one-eighth yearly from
July |, 1895 to July l. 1901.
Springer Dem.) of Illinois began dis
cussion of sugar amid great confusion,
claiming IN refutation of the statement
that the Senate bill gave the trust greater
protection than the Mckinley law. that
the trust had received nearly $40, 600, 600
during the three years and since the
Mckinley law had been in operation.
! Pence said he would ask for consid-
Grafton, even for pity. at this late day,
for thousands of agriculturists threat
ened with destruction. If duties could
not be retained, he asked at least that
bounties be.
Wilson concluded the discussion,
charging the Republican party was re-
SponSible for the creation Of the sugar
| trust and the power it had manifested in
this contest. He expressed sympathy
! for the louisiana men, saying he had al
ways believed in a revenue tax on sugar;
that the agriculturists were welcome to
the incidental protection therefor and he
stood ready to cooperate with his col
| leagues IN giving revenue tax.
Mr.. Boatner said the bounty was a le-
| gal obligation for this year.
! Mr.. Reed spoke OF the bill as the last of
their cushions the statesmen of this little
kingdom of Liiiputians had arranged for
themselves to fall on, and reminded Lou
isiana that the Republican party would
| have given them the protection they
needed, and asserted the Democrats had
so beclouded the question with corrup-
ton that it could not be dealt with hon
estly by others without mourning susp-
! clOu' IL was tu6 QUO great question 10 De
made shuttlecock between the two par
! ties.
