HIS COfitc QOWH 10 US IOI OOO years..
Referring to the factthat the witnesses re-
fused to testify, he said: Zone OF the oldest
principles OF evidence, one upon which weact
every day, is that silence gives consent
1t was thought differently. however, by
THAT distinguished Jurist, MIR. Bradley"
aud possibly there are few poor fellows
who believe that there can be such thing
in these days as favoIitisn in the admins
tIation of justice"
Mr. Allen also devoted some OF his time
to demonstrating that there was no CON
nection between the beet sugar industry
and the American Sugar Refinery Company
Mr.. Thurston, replying TO Mr. Allen, con-
fined himself 10 the amendment. He ad-
nitted that the repeal OF the contract with
the sugar growers was all act OF perfidy,
and the first person 10 vote for the break
ing OF the contract was Mr.. Allen lie also
showed that the Nebraska Populist iegisla
ture repealed the laws of the Republicans in
favor of the beet industry. In 1895 again
the Republicans declared for aid TO the
sugar growers, but the bill was vetoed by
a Popuist governor Last winter again
they repealed the bounty on sugar.
Mr.. Thurston denied that the Republican
national platform was pledged to the beet
sugar industry. 1t simply promised pro
lection, and not any special kind of pro-
lection, such az an export bounty. You
and your party said Mr.. Tburston, point
Ing at Mr.. Allen, withdrew every par
ticle of protection TO the beet sugar in
dustry OF your own State
Mr. Tburston maintained that the sugar
bounty amendment was offered in goUd
faith, and he read the objections made
to its consideration by Senator Jones and
Senator Teller He (Thurstonl was in
favor OF the amendment, but as between
the interests of his State and of the na-
tiOn, he chose the latter, and consented
t. the Withdrawal OF the amendment
He had either to let the bill go or let tue
amendment go, and he accepted the
latter He was perfectly willing TO face
tire people of Nebraska on his record and
that which Mr. Allen had deliberately
made for himself in the record.
Mr., Allen replied to Mr.. Thurston's
charge OF inconsistency That, he said,
did not worry him. He came to the Sen
ate In 1873, when the country was bank
rupt As Populst he opposed the issue
Of bonds, and it was necessary TO enact
tire revenue measure of 1894, which was
violently opposed by all OF the Republicans
Mr.. Hen admitted that he voted against
sugar in 1894, but that bill also con-
tanned the provision for an income tax
Us to the last Nebraska legislation ON
sugar, it was also true that it had been
repealed by a Popullst legislature, hut
the PJpu!ists Were not pledged TO a bounty,
and consequently could not be held TO be
inconsistent. A Populist COVER nor had
vetoed a sugar bounty bin IL was rue,
but it was at time when the State treas
ury was bankrupted by Republican rl.s-
caIity
III. Alien asked the Republicans again
what excuse they had for refusing 70 take
mp the amendment and pass IL. 1t would
not do for the Republican party TO point
at the PopuIists aud say" Yon' re another
Let the Republicans keep their own faith
