OF the sugar schedule. He stated that
ships from all parts of the world were
hurrying in with cargoes of raw sugar
to avoid the duties of the bill Already
eight months supply had been brought
IN, thus cutting off government revenue
trust.
Mr.. Gear questioned these figures,
saying only four months supply Of raw
sugar had been brought in.
Mr. Burrows (Mich.), a member OF
the finance committee, then took the
moor for one of the few speeches from
the Republican side Of the chamber.
He said he was induced to enter the
cebate because of the assaults made
upon the lumber schedule, an industry
IN twenty-five states, with an agsre-
gate capital of $3.50, 600, ,O0O employing
6OO,OOo people and paying $130, 600 900 il
wages annually. Mr.. Burrows said
the rates on lumber were the lowest of
any in the bill, being about Is to Is
per cent ad valorem and only 10 per
cent on white pine. The senator re-
ferred to his visits to the Michigan
lumber sections, where, he said, mills
were idle and men out of work when
the Canadian mills and the Canadian
workmen were thriving Mr.. Burrows

that six men owned the standing pine.
and of Mr.. Pettigrew that one man in
Michigan, Mr.. Blodgett, owned the
standing pine. He had read from cen.
sus reports that 1,1S6 people owned
this class of timber, and presented es-
Inmates showing ninety-five owners of
white pine in Michigan. Instead OF
being the most infamous schedule. as
these senators had declared, it was
one of the most meritorious of the bill.
The senator referred to the personal
criticisms of Mr.. Pettigrew, to the
effect that Mr.. Blodgett, the owner of
pine lands in Michigan, was the one
who manipulated the election of SEN
ators in Michigan"
WORD OF DEFENSE.

this remark, or the inference to be
drawn from it. but if the intimation is
that my election was secured by other
than honorable means, then it is a
slander on the people of my state. and

commission" He declared that Mr.
Blodgett was man of such unimpeach-
able integrity that nothing Mr.. Petit
grew could possibly say could detract
from his high character. AS to the
statement that the lumber schedule
would an advantage to lumber men.
Mr.. Burrows said this was so. IT
would be an advantage to the lumber
men, the wool-raiser, and he believed
1t would restore to the labor of the
country the uncounted millions os
which it had been robbed by four
years of free trade
