Concerning the sugar schedule he said
It WAS SO cunningly devised rs to make
II diihcult to determine the benefits con-
ierred The main point was us to the
loss suffered by the people, and after a
calculation MIR. Chiffon concluded that
the sugar trust would be enabled by the
bill to charge the ] cent per pound more
for sugar than under the present law. He
said the agricultural schedule ought TO
he known as the fraud schedule" as il
was designed to be detrimental to the
farmers.
IN connection with Mr.. Chilt0n's dis
cmssion of the agricultural schedule Mr.
Iillman was drawn into vehement ar
gnmcnt on the benefit of an export boun-
~ ON agricultural products. The South
Carolina senator said that the imposition
of such 2 honnty was the most effective
means of destroying the entire protec-
tive system. for if the farmer got one
drop Of blood in his mouth he would want
TO Swallow the whole carcass." and it
would end in Il scramble. ovcrturning the
whole system.
Proceeding. Mr. Chiffon took up the
drInocratlc position on free raw mate
rials, urging tina! raw wool and other
raw products were entitled to exactly
the same consideration as manufactured
WOODEN goods. but neither of them should
ne penentcd as against the interests Of
the whole people. He did not believe
