PROTECTION FOR BEET SUGAR
Why Mr.. Speaker it is impossible to place ssr,
sRssc d1g ON svs sHsa degrees Of
raaned sugar The wit OF has not YET lra me
anv such schedule. In 1888 the advance was lou
one hundredths OF a cent to every degree Vi I1
Sw the polariscopic tests. We made 1t In the hous
"a, three one hundredths OF cent. and the cohte
ence committee agreed upon three ana ohe-.Ss
hmrdredths of a cent Did we increase the pIotec
ton? Yes 10 a small degree-to about Two cents
hvndred But what else did we 90! IL "a.
nIairned on the part OF the Senate conferrees as
had been claimed in the Senate that our biii p9t,
tine protection on refined sugar or Sit2 Genus 9l
not nrotect the suRsr-beet industry. Why ne
cause the product ofthe beet-sugar factories. COW
among the farmers where these factories are 70
Gated Is refined sugar. and unless we put an IN
creased duty upon refined sugar We could not Dull
nm the beet sugar industry
what ala we do? We raised the protection o
refined sugar from 1s7i@ to 1885, and then raised TN
raw sugars all along the line In the same proper

wrong In that? / ask you men who are surrounde
RI home by farming constituencies that are reachin
ont for some new industry 70 take the place
others on their farms, did we do anything wrong
holding out this announcement TO the sugar pee
Industry? Men stand up here and seem 10 tnlh
that the way TO demolish trust Is TO start VINO
