Washington, March 22-What will go
down in history as the tariff debate of
1897 began in the house at 10 o'clock this
morning in the House of Representatives.
Despite the early hour for assembling
there was large attendance on the floor
and the galleries showed evidence of
great interest in the proceedings. Mr..
Dingley and Mr.. Bailey, the opposing
leaders, were early in their places. BY the
terms of the rule under which the House
was to operate during the consideration of
the bill, the House Immediately resolved
itself into committee on the whole and
the speaker conferred upon Mr.. Sherman
(Rep, n. Y. the distinguished honor of
presiding over the committee. Those who
expected the debate to begin Immediately
were disappointed. The leaders decided
not to dispense with the reading of the
bill but TO have il read in full at the out
set The spectators in the galleries and
the members on the floor waited while the
clerk droned through the 1853 pages of the
bill.
When the reading of the bill had been
completed, Mr. Dingley addressed the
House.

The Sugar Schedule.

Speaking Of the sugar schedule, Mr..
Dinglcy said it would increase the rovc-
nue. and encourage sugar production IN
this country. He explained the sugar
schedule i'm the following: The duty on
sugar proposed is specific according TO
polariscope test Of the degree Of saccharine
matter commencing at one cent per
pound .for sugar polarizing not more
than 75 degrees and increasing the duty
three one ehundrcdths of one cent for each
additional degree. This would make the
duty on raw sugar of the same polaris-
coplc test as refined sugar (lV0 degrees)
one and thrcc-fourths cents. To this ~
added onc-eighth Of one cent for such
sugar above No. III. Dutch standard in
color truffncd sugar) making the duty one
cent and eighty seven and a half hun
drcdths. This eighth, with whatever
may bc added by the countervailing duty
on all sugar imported from export t-bounty-
paving countries Is the protection which
Ii is believed will maintain the refining
industry here Notwithstanding the pres
ent diffcrcntial ~ ono-cighth and n 40 per
cent. all round duty Is double that pro.
posed This will bc the only diilcrcntial
between raw and refined sugar because IL

MIR. Dingley's Speech.

Mr. Dingley began by stating that Con-
gress having been convened in extra ses-
sion, the facts that had led to the issuance
of the Presidents message were: That
the government revenues during the past
four years, had been insufficient to meet
expenditures to the extent of more than
500, 600, 900 or an average of $50, O0O, 600 per
annum; that this deficiency will continue
to grow under existing conditions; that
the deficiency has been met by borrowing;
that is, by bond sales and that this has
promoted distrust, intensified and pro-
longed the run on the treasury and weak
encd confidence. This deficiency of
revenue, said he, had nearly all arisen from
"a falling off of revenue from duties on inn
ports, and not from n decline of revenue
from internal taxes. In revising the tariff,
he said, the committee have endeayored
to discard mere theories and have adj
dressed themselves TO the framing of
practical remedy, at least in part for the
ills which have for so many months
overshadowed the country. 1t Is condi-
tion and not theory which confronts us.
Our problem is to provide adequate
revenue from duties on imports To carry
on the government and in imposing duties
to secure this result SO to adjust them Us
to secure to our own people the production
and manufacture of such articles as we
can produce or make ourselves without
natural disadvantage, and thus once more
provide abundant opportunity for our
labor. No economic policy Will prove
success unless il shall in some manner
contribute to the opening up of employ
ment TO the masses of our people at good
wages When this shall be accomplished
and thus the purchasing power of the
masses be restored, then, and not until
then, viii prices cease to feel the depress-
ing effect of under-consumption and the
prosperity OF our people rise TO the stand
ard of 1892.

A kindergarten on Gigantic Scale

The past four years have been enlight-
ening, especially TO candid Investigators
of economic problems. We have been at
tending IA kindergarten on gigantic
scale. The tuition has come high, but
no people ever learned SO much in so brief
"a time. Hereafter theories, preached in
however captivating language, will have
to give way to the teachings of experience.
1t has been the favorte assumption of
some theorists that revenue and protec-
tion in the same tariff schedule were inn
possible. But We have had in the past
contrastcd the working of protective wool
and woolens schedule of the tariff OF 1894,
"A most striking demonstration otherwise.
Mr.. Dingley then gave some statistics
relative to the importations and the
tariff on woolens, and said that by placing
wool on the free list, the treasury lost
S21, coo, 900 revenue and the farmers s30
OOO 600 per year, and that this country
had not been able to increase its exports
of manufacturs of wool. 1t had been
claimed he, went on, that the price of
clothing had been reduced, but this was
only in appearance, because people had
been deprived of work and wages and
found IL harder 10 buy clothing than
before. The new schedule would aid tho
wool grower, increase manufacture and
ultimately increase the revenue.
