ton Of the burden as is imposed III
this bill" a..
Mr. Allison proceeded TO poin; out the
changed conditions since 1875. Whth
sugar earned a duty Of 30 per cent. IN
those days-in the days Of his boyhood-
very little nure white sugar was seen.
Now. no sugar came on the table in ricn
or moor households that had not gone
through some process OF refining The
refining industry Of this country was en-
titled to some protection. He thoh eN-
planned the House and Senate Scnelu'e''
do Won believe I'm protection TO labor
or TO capital" interposei Mr.. 1lllman,
of South Carolina.
"That IS a generality" replied Mr.. ALI
son "to which the Senator wei knows
my answer ] believe in protection 10
american labor. but / believe in protect
ing American capital also from foreign
capital"
MIR. Havemcyer. IN his testimony
said Mr.. Tnman. said that only 5000
men were engaged in the sugar refining
industry. Yet you propose 10 give the
reGners a diferential which amounts TO
between Si0C)0e0O and S20,o0.@) for the
protection of 5000 men"
II was the policy Of this bill. said MI
Allison. 10 DO what Europe had done
establish the production Of sugar in TINS
country. and keep the $loJc)ooD paId
annually for sugar by our people al
home Were it not for that. he Would
advocate n revenue duty Of 10 or q per
cent Recalling the criticism of the Ike
yablicans for THEN abandonment OF the
bounty system. Mr.. Allison said that
system had been adopted to encourage
the sugar industry l. had failed. FIRST,
rcrhays. because of the rapid ana un-
expected strides made i'm both the beet
and cane growths and second. because
the Democratic party decided TO DO no
thing 20 encourage lhe system. rms
was an agricultural industry. The
-chedule would succeed or fail as 1t sue
ceeded or failed TO establish the beet
sugar industry in this country. Inc
schedule might not be arranged pre-
cl-cY as il should be- but it was con-
fcssedly within fraction of other
schedules. N senators on the other side
could show that there was an injustice.
I me would. he said try 10 deal with IL in
"a spirit OF justice.
Mr. Hoar. of Massachusetts,. called al
tention to the fact that the transfer OF
the sugar industry TO foreign countries
would take from the United States the
| large agricultural industry in beets ana
/ cane.
