The passage Of the bill now on the
calendar OF the senate to repeal the
dltferential duty on refined sugar aud
on sugar imported from countries
which pay a bounty on exports
would put stop instantly to the
embargo which excludes American
live stock and dressed beef from
Germany, France and Belgium. This
exclusion leaves no important CONT
mental port open to these American
products, and the only excuse for it
is the discrimination which the ex
lsting sugar tax creates 1t is true
that the Mckinley bill disseminated
in the same way against Germany,
but for some reason it wasn't resent
ed them But it is now, and with
such an appearance of reason as to
disarm complaint
When an attempt was made to
take up the bill to repeal this OBJ
jectionable and discriminating duty
all the republican and populist sen
ators voting on the proposition were
against it. All the democrats who
voted except three were favorable,
and thus the democratic party clear
ly put itself On record as favoring
the removal of the distractions to
the market for live stock and dressed
beef. 1t is plain, therefore. that if
the embargo continues the republi.
can party must be held responsible
for it. The fact is that but for the
united strength of the republicans
in the senate the differential sugar
duty would never have been imposed
The intelligent public should care
fully consider this fact.

which is OF no advantage TO the peo

extent that it curtails the trade il
meats and cattle, and yet the entir
republican party stands in the wa.
of its repeal. Now that congress ha
re-assemblea the democratic seua
tors ought to make another etfor
to bring the matter up for consider
anon. If it fails again, it will a
least serve the purpose Of emphasiz
ing the attitude Of the republican
on the subject.
