THE SUGAR SCHEDULE
Is Now Being Considered I'm the Sen
ate in Earnest.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The great
battle over the sugar schedule began in
the senate today. The Mckinley law
placed raw sugars on the free list, i'm
posed Z cent duty on refined sugar and
gave a bounty Of . cents to the sugar
grower The house bill repealed the
bounty ana placed all sugars. raw and
refined, on the free list. The first bill
reported from the finance committee of
the senate gave a specific duty of from
] cent to 1285 per pound according to
poleriscopic test. The compromise"
amendment. which is the one now before
the senate, made the sugar schedule go
into effect Jan. 1. 1895, the rates being 40
per cent. ad valorem on all sugars, raw
and refined. one-eighth of 1 cent addi-
tional on sugars above Is Dutch standard
with an additional one-tenth Of l cent a
pound on sugars from countries paying
export bOunties. 1t also continued the
sugar treaty with Hawaii.
Mt. Henderson took the floor as soon
as Mr.. Jones had formally proposed the
compromise amendment. The sugar
schedule. he said, was the interesting
schedule OF the bill. 1t contained both
Sweetness and light. It seemed to per-
wade the whole bill. The bill could not
be touched without laying hands on
sugar The senate had even departed
from the consideration of the bill to make
explorations in sugar, not In the cane
fields OF Nebraska. but IN the committee
room The saccharine principle as it i'm
pregnated all nature invaded every feat
ure Of this bill. Mr.. Henderson then pro-
ceeded to argue in favor of protection
for the sugar-growing industry Of the
country. Almost 5000. 600. 900 pounds of
raw sugar had been consumed last year
representing, If grown and refined abroad,
a total Of $1S2. 0Oo 900 900 to be paid
foreigners Free sugar would mean the
immediate destruction of the beet sugar
Industry and the gradual extinction OF
cane sugar production in the southern
states.
Mr.. Henderson gave notice that at the
proper time he would offer as a substi-
tute for the sugar schedule the bounty
provision Of the Mckinley bill, continuing
It in force until July /, 1905. He argued
at length in support Of the, constitutions
atty Of bounties, quoting extensively
from court decisions, especially the de-
clsion Of Justice Miller
IF congress were to give a bounty ."
inquired Mr.. Caffery OF louisiana Ito a
farmer or manufacturer. do you contend
that the courts have no right to inquire
whether bounty is given for a public or
private use2"
ct do" replied Mr. Henderson. THE
decision Of Mr.. Miller Is conclusive on
that point"
Mr.. PETER proceeded at great length
10 support a bounty instead Of duty on
sugar. In the course Of his speech he

Mr. Lodge declared emphatically that
the charges would be probed 10 the bot

possibility thrown light on the subject

resumed Mr.. Aldrich made a vigorous
attack on the sugar tariff and spoke in
favor Of bounties.
Mr.. Cafferty of Louisiana followed Mr..
Aldrich and defended the protective duty
as against the bounty system. He drew
a running fire from Messrs. Aldrich and
Allison. Mr.. Cafferty said public opinion
was against bounties.
Mr.. Jones. on behalf Of the finance COM
nittee, gave notice that no change was
contemplated in the schedule save the
omission from the clause relating to mo-
lasses of that portion placing a duty Of
2 cents per gallon on molasses testing be-

Mr.. Harris, in charge of the tariff bill,
then moved that the senate proceed to
the consideration of executive business.
Before he made the motion he declared,
with his wonted emphasis, that the coun-
try was impatient, and had a right to be
impatient, over the slow progress made
with this bill, and that business interests
everywhere were suffering from the
utterly inexcusable delay. He gave
notice that after Monday he would. if he
were able. compel the senate to endure
longer hours until the bill was disposed
Of.
The senate at 5:47 went into executive
session and at 500 p. m. adjourned.

the case of the conservatives of the
senate in their desperate attempt to stem
the tide Of public disapproval of the

Expert figure jGgglers' have been

show that there is but a slight difference
between the Wilson bill, as it passed the

MI. IL Evans the treasury
who has performed all similar work for the
ways and means committee of the house
and the finance committee of the senate for
the last twenty years, has, under the d.
recuon of the finance committee made a
comparison between the Mckinley, Mills,
Wilson and senate bill as amended. and
now presents to the country the average
rates Of duty under each bill, thus enabling
anyone to ascertain the action of the two
branches of congress in their differences on
each schedule and on the whole bill A
study Of these figures will show but a small
difference between the Wilson bill as il
passed the house and the senate bill as
amended. 1t shows that the reduction from
the Mckinley bill by the Wilson bill was
2S.35 per cent; and the reduction from the
Mckinley bill by the senate bill as amended
is 25.79 per cent. The reduction which would
have been made by the Mills bill, upon the
same basis of calculation, would only have
been ASP per cent.
