on the tariff bill, aud Mr.. Gallery resumed
! bis speech begun yesterday.
Mr.. Caffrry plunged immedi ately into
the discussion of the implicated methods
of refining sugar in Louisiana, which
sugar went iuto competition with the
sugars refined by the trust. He con-
tended that the bounty provision of the
Mckinley law prevented the extensive
refining of sugar by the producer. he
maintained that fair al valorem rate of
A per cent would furnish sufficient pro-
lection both TO the Producer and the
refiner- He predictei that the louisiana
cane grower, with the new facilities COM
ing into use would, in decade, be able TO
h0id his own against the sugar producers
20 he world.
Louisiana, he said, was a Democratic st tie
did not desire 10 Stand ia the way
Of tariff reform. but he insisted that in
laarchi z 0 the goal OF tariff reform bis
party should not traIrple the form of his
PROSTATE state. He would not foul his
own nest If the tariff reform measure
prepared infringed upon his own ideas OF
what it should be he would vote for It;
unless it struck down his own state.

purposes. The question presented is

he said they would be compelled to vote
against the measure.

which be said gave the sugar trust SG,0O0,.
900 annually.
Mr.. Hill said that from he first he had
recognized the necessity for compromise
and had voted for many amendments that
did not reflect his personal opinions in
order to get bill that would command
80 votes He believed in duty on coal
aud iron for purely revenue purposes, with
such incidental protection as followed.
He applied the same doctrine TO sugar
that be did TO coal and iron. Forty per
cent on sugar he thought a fair revenue
duty. He WAS in favor of the one-eighth
on refined sugar.
Mr.. Gay (RrpIblican. PENN gave
notice of three amendments he should
offer 10 the pending motion, first to amend
Mr.. Villas mot ion that he senate recede
