THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
II. - ny dI1dl1, regarding a
bounty on sugar, was read the third
time
Hart moved that the consideration
OF the memorial be indefinitely post
poned. He said that it was now too
late to memorabilia Congress- since the
proceedings of that body on Monday
Booth said the bill had merely PASSED
the committee of the whole
Eldredge moved that Harts motion
be tabled. Carried
Booth, of Salt Lake, said that simply
because a committee of the whole in
the House had decided to repeal por-
ton Of the Mckinley bill did not settle
the matter at all. In 1892 Utah re-
celVed 81, GOO as bounty on sugar beets.
In 1893 the bounty was over 500 OOO.
These bounties have brought a degree
OF prosperity to many of the citizens
Had it not been for that thew would
have been almost bankrupt from the
low prices of other farm products.
The government made & contract TO
pay 2 cents per pound on sugar manu-
featured. The persons who put their
capital in that enterprise, the farmers
who turned their attention to it, should
be rewarded. The government should
carry out its contract Our govern
ment gains its reputation for stability
by keeping its promises. For that
reason, if for no other, the provisions
should regard the rights of those en-
gagged in the enterprise.
Seaman said he had hoped 81
gentleman who was favorable to IT,
memorial would make some statement
that would throw some light m the
amount of bounty that wouif sJe neces-
saTy to maintain the industry on a
paying basis. The memorial does not
set forth that a less bounty than 2
Mill hn T.
state what the loss to the sugar fac
tory would be. If we ask assistance.
We should ask no more than is neces-
sary. The subject matter in a Con-
gress memorial should be truthful. 1t
should be a cool, calm. deliberate state
1nent of affairs as they are known to
exist. The memorial does not do this.
Line four contains the expression
serve to revive" That implies that
the industry is on the wane He sub
mitted that the plant at Lehi was an
established fact befor the passage of
the bounty bill. The language of line
FIVE shows that it refers to Utah in
particular. The gentleman would have
much trouble in pointing out such a
languishing industry. The Industry
had been completely canyassed, com
pletely established, before the Nc
Kinley bill became a law He stated
WITHOUT lear VI EOHli dOICllOH I1dI the
bounty had not reduced the price of
sugar to the consumer. People have
long been looking for a tail TO wag
the dog. The trainers of this mem
orial have given an illustration of this.
The price Of sugar would have re-
NAMED the same had there never been
a bounty. 1t was the reduction in the
tariff and not the bounty that reduced
the price Of sugar. Commenting on
lines eighteen and nineteen, he said
the natter contained therein was of no
concern TO the government The gov
eminent is not ready to consider how
