Mr.. Bacon answered that the senator

the attitude Of o. senator of his party.
Equality in the distribution Of taxation

party and he stood on that.
that fundamental principle of democracy.
Mr.. Clay's, Maiden Speech.
Mr. Clay, (Ga.) followed Mr.. Bacon.
speaking for the first time since he enter
ed the Senate, He expressed himself en-
phatically against free trade and in favor
of tariff sufficient to carry on the govern
ment, economically administered And in
levying this tariff he held there should be
strict equality in its impositions
Mr.. Clay criticised the sugar schedule as
especially Objectionable as calculated to in
crease the cost to the consumer Under
the Senate bill the cost of sugar would. he
said, be not less than $4.64 per hundred
pounds, an advantage to the refiner of
So cents on the hundred pounds. The
price to the consumer would be in
This profit would go to the sugar trust,
which should become the scandal Of the
nation. He said the bounty system was
responsible for this trust, and that no po-
litical party could stand under the odium
the legislation would produce.
Mr.. Clay also criticised the proposition to
place duty on tea. He claimed there was
now held in the United States 45,Oo0.OOO
pounds of tea. To put the proposed duty
on this article would be to add $4.50O,OO0
to the wealth of the tea holders.
Summing up, he said the Senate bill
would increase the burdens on the people
to the extent of $4,000, 900 on the four arti-
cles of sugar, wool, tea and beer. He
claimed that the farming interest had been
neglected and called attention to the con-
stantly falling prices in farm products.
He declared that the bill would not give
relief to the people, and also asserted that
that tariff had been the paramount issue
in the last campaign. That issue, he said,
had been almost forgotten in the financial
question. Now the financial que. ion was
apparently lost sight of in the agitation
of the tariff.
