SOAP FOR THE TRUST.
The Republicans Taking Care of the Cam
paign Fund Rsisers.

ule was taken in the senate late Friday
resulting in the adoption OF the Re
publican caucus amendment, chang
ing the house rate to 1.95 per pound
by the close vote of yeas 80, nays 80
TIE affirmative vote was made up O
29 Republicans and one Democrat
McEnery Of Louisiana; Silver Repuh
lican Jones of Nebraska and one Pop
ulist, Stewart of Nevada. The mega
tive vote was made up of 25 Demo
Gratis, three Populists and two silver
Repub ublicans. 1t was the closest vote
thus far taken on an issue OF import
ance and was accepted as showing
that any amendment having the sane
ton Of the caucus, WAS assured o.
adoption. The vote was taken after
q day spent in speeches on the eHec
of the sugar schedule. The mair
speech of the day came from Mr.. Ali
son, in charge of the bill, and was in
the nature of an answer to the charges
n de against the sugar schedule as
" lole, and defense OF it. Mr. Cor
man of Maryland spoke against the
schedule and the entire bill, pointing
out that its effect was to burden the
people without opening up to US new
foreign markets. Mr.. White reviewed
the record of the Republican senators
on the sugar schedule during the de-
oate on the Wilson bill, arraignlug
them for inconsistency. Mr.. Cafery
of louisiana aud Mr.. Stewart OF Neva
da also spoke, the former against anc
the latter for the pending schedule
after which the vote was taken. The
first paragraph of the sugar schedule
was not finally disposed OF up to the
time of adjournment. Ia defending
the bill Mr.. Allison pointed out the
change in the condition siuce 1S4s
when sugar earned duty Of 80 pei
cent. In those days, in the days OF
his boyhood, very little pure white
sugar was seen. Now, no sugar came
on the table Of rich or poor that had
lot gone through some process OF re-
ining. The refining industry OF this
country was entitled to some protec
ton. He then explained the house
and senate schedules.
DO you believe in protection to la-
Dor or to capital2' interposed Mr.. Till
man of South Carolina.
That is a generality" replied Mr.:
Allison, 'sto which the senator well
knows my answer. I believe in pro
tec.ion to American labor, but be-
Eeve in protecting American capital
from foreign capital" j"
Mr.. Havemeyer in his testimony"
said Mr.. Tillman, said that only
25, 900 men were engaged in the sugar
refinery industry. Yet you propose to
give the refaers a diferentlal which
amounts to between sl0,000,000 and
$50, 900, 000 for the protection OF % 600
men."
II was the policy OF this bill, said
Mr.. Allison, to do what Europe had
done-establish the production of SD
gar in this country aud keep the $780,
100000 annually paid for sugar by
our people, at home. Were 1t not for
that he would advocate a revenue duty
of 40 or IS per cent. Recalling the
criticism of the Republicans for their
abandonment of the bounty system,
Mr.. Allison said that system had been
adopted to encourage the sugar indus,
uy,. Ithad failed, first, perhaps, be.
cause OF the rapid and unexpected
strides made in both the beet and cane
growths, and second, because the
Democratic party decided to do moth
ing to encourage the system. This
was an agricultural industry. The
schedule would su u,ceed or fail, as II
succeeded or failed to establish the
beet sugar industry in this country.
The schedule might not be arranged
precisely as it should be, bat It was
confessedly within a fraction OF other
schedules. If senators on tee other
side could show that there was an in
Justice he would, he said, try to deal
with it in spirit Of justice.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts, called
attention to the fact that the transfer
of the sugar industry to foreign coun.
tries would take from the United
States the large agricultural industry
in beets and cane.
Mr.. Berry of Arkansas reverted to
the Communicating influence OF the su-
gar trust, and urged that the senate,
BY its vote, put an end to the scandels
surrounding this subject. Now was
the opportunity, he declared, for the
Republican senators to make good
their professions Of four years ago
against the trusts.
Mr.. Stewart said that he did not ex
pect this tariff bill to afford any mate
rial relief to the country, as there was
8 cancer of financial contraction which
was eating at the vitals of the coun
try. The senator aided that he was
for the bill because he wanted the peo
pie 10 know it could not bring pros
perlty any more than q bread anc
nitk pouIice could bring prosperity

Allison. The vote was taken amld
