I has used undue means to control leg
islation and to get at the root of how
Il is, and why il is that the American
senate cannot touch sugar Without get
ting contaminated"
Mr.. Hoar was again on his feet and
turning to the South Carolina senator.
said there were some men who seemed
TO think that down beneath the body
of the people there was a great mass
of seething people eager for extremes
He knew, through and through, the
character, purposes and opinions of the
men who get their living from tfeir
| farms and factories of Nassa chusetJs.
They are" he proceeded impressive
] ~ simple, sincere. honest, libefty-lov-
ing, god-fearing men. They think nc
evil, and appeal 10 vile passions fall
on deaf ears with them"
! The men who make up the farms and
/ the factories were the same the country
over. he said. And l hold he con-
tinued, that &c the great body of these
people, these charges are not only prep
osterous, but Infamous
ONCE AGAIN COMES BACK.
Mr.. Tillman again made reply. While
he claimed no special mission, he had
come from the farm and from the
people and to The senate more recently
than the Massachusetts senator. He
knew, he said, that the only thing in
famous in this transaction, in the view
of the people, was the refusal to in
vestigate. and this effort TO hide behind
the senatorial toga." If the senate
/ persisted in this, then ii was disgraced
before the people. Public charges had
been made that bribery was abroad in
connection with this subject and ''un-
less you investigate, you stand con-
victed," asserted the senator.
! The senate then came back TO the
Blank amendment. Mr.. Lindsay moved
10 strike out l95-100 and insert lS5-10C
cents as the rate on sugar. He argued
! that the rate of the bill was too high
and gave exceptional advantages TO the
refiners.
This drew from Mr. Allison an ami
mated fence of the paragraph. The
senate paragraph differed from the
original house provision. he said. in
only one particular. viz: the substi-
! tuition of 1.95 for 1875. which difference
/ pounds. He asserted that the ascend
/ ing scale of 3-I00 cent on each degree
above 10 was net an excessive benefit
/ to the refiner. The senator submitted
| tables showing, ne said. that the diff
| ferental under the Wilson law is
/ greater than that on the senate provi-
| sion now under consideration. He chal-
I
/ for. he declared emDhatically. he was
! tired Of these accusations that the COM
mittee had increased by 80 or so pei
cent the protection to the sugar re-
fners.
ALLISON'S TABLE.
Mr.. Allison incorporated in his speech
very interesting table, giving the
! first detailed explanation from the Re
/ MI cid Of 10 Gil
dule. In commenting upon it, ne said:
L have the absolute calculat tons
] here, and when it is said there is a pro-
lection or differential. lying in this
scale, running from 10 to 100 degrees,
reply that that differential is not to be
/ seen"
Mr.. Allison then presented a table
showing the differential on the law OF
! 1894, the house bill and the proposed
senate schedule, from sugars of IS de-
/ grees up to refined sugar. The mair
rates as shown are as follows:
10 degrees-Differentia 1894, 56.2;
house, 40. 80; senate, 6299.
! IS degrees-Diferentia 1894, 28.4Si
: house. 17.35; senate, PASS
! SO degrees-Differentia 1894, 1882
house, 12.35; senate, 1888.
100 degreeS-Differenti 1894, 2l.S2
| house, 1850; senate, 20.
| When Mr.. Allison was asked why his
| figures differed from those of Mr.. Aid
richs. who made the original statement
he answered that mis- (Allison's) scale
was based upon the price of sugars il
bond il New York, while Mr.. Aldrich's
statement was based on the price oil
sugar in the Philippine Islands anc
Egypt.
Upon these tables have demon
strated. at least TO my own satisfac-
/ ton" he added, that the rate as it is
proposed has a less rate of duty thar
( that in the existing law. In gooc
many cases I agree that ii is only q
| fraction less. but in every case, except
! two. il is less
Mr.. Lindsay asked Mr.. Allison how
it was. if the refiners received so little
| benefit, that sugar stock had advanced
| from ; TO 10 points, standing on Satur-
| day at 126.
BACKS WATER.
Mr.. Allison replied that he was not tc
be drawn into the issue. He said the
! serious question was TO provide such
duties as would keep the refining OF
! sugars in this country, instead of send
! ing it abroad.
! Mr.. Allen asked if it was not possible
to frame a sugar schedule which would
not confer some benefits to the sugar
trust.
| Was it wise, Mr.. Allison answered
to turn over the business of sugar re-
/ fning to other countries? If not, ther
a differential must be allowed our re-
fners to keep the business from being
! done abroad 1t was plain to him thai
unless a duty was placed on sugar, as
on iron or chicOry or anything else
then senators might fold their arms or
the protection principle, as no one could
| tell how soon foreign capital and labor
would do the refining now done in this
country
CAFFERY IS CAUSTIC
Mr.. Caffery again criticised the sugar
| trust. pointing out that it needed nc
protection. according to its own ad-
missions. Everywhere. he SAID, was
| felt the banefuI influence of the trust
1t invades the senate, and wherever II
/ goes. he said. it blasts and shrivels ano
i burns. 1t ought to be put out of the
domain of legislation.
The bill was laid aside without &
vote on the pending Lindsay amend
ment. and at $40 the senate held al
executive session, adjourning soor
after.
She Would Not Stay.
