THE SUGAR TRUST TARIFF.


Gov. Mckinley Tells Indiana People the
tniquify of the Havsueyer Law.
ISpIASArolIs. Sept 3. Gov. Mckinley.
of Ohio. opened the Republican campaign
in this state today. lie was introduced 10
an audience that packed Tomiinsop hail.
by ex-President Harrison. The two fa-
nous leaders we're received with great en-
thusiasm. Gov. Mckinley began with
eulogistic reference TO tho administration
OF President Harrison, under which, hs
said. the country prospered as ID had never
prospsred before or since. The address
was devoted almost wholly to discussion
Of the tariff. especially the effect Of tho
Democratic tariff law. The governor pre-
sented phase Of the law reeentiy passed.
which was a startling surprise 10 the audi
ence. The sugar schedule. hs said. in
effect provides for the continuation of the
treaty Of isT5 made wits the king of the
Hawaiian Islands, under winch all sugar
from the islands was admitted free. This
provision was inserted by the senate. 1T
gives the sugar trust. said Gov. Mckin-
ley an advantage which has not hereto
fore been suspected. The sugar production
OF the Hawaiian Islands is under the con-
troll of the sugar trust. That country Is
the held Of It's primary operations. The
4eta1NfEttG party sVRA away Af1Ai tbo
sugar rai.srs OF the United States bounty
OF 100000 per year and bestowed
bounty OF s., COO 90 per year on the sugar
producers of the Hawaiian Islands. giving
them an advantage over not only tine sagar
producers Of the United states. bat Of tho
whole world outside OF these islands. =
"When we made the tariff iaw OF 1880
and took away nj the taTlf from sugar,
we gave 10 the cane producers. and tho
beet producers. and the maple sugar pro-
sucers, a bounty equivalent 90 the tariff,
aud ws said in THAI law that the bounty
should stand for hfteen years. This In all
wiped out by the isw OF ls9i What is
there more sacxed than solemn contract
made with car own cstszens1"
Touching ON the question Of money,
Gov. Mckinley said:
"Oar money Is ell good. Whether II bs

or treasury or gold or silver certificates.
