The report of the House Ways
and Means Committee against res
olution, offered by Representative
Richardson of Tennessee, the
Democratic floor leader, for the ad-
mission, free of duty, of sugar and
molasses, and everything entering
into the manufacture of sugar from
Cuba and Porto Rico, shows some
what remarkable friendliness for
the sugar trust, on the part of the
Democratic leader. After submit
ting figures in detail to back its con-
tention, the report says: "It will
be seen that to place these commod-
ities on the free list would if the
same amount of sugar and molasses
should be imported during the year
July 1, 1900, and running forwar 4,
give to the importers of sugar and
molasses something like $14, 900, 600.
This would be a free gift from the
people of the country and measures
the value of these proposed yearly
gifts of the sugar trust, calculated
on imporations OF 1899, which, of
course, will steadily increase from
year to year. The tariff of 1897, 50
far as it relates to sugar and molas-
SEES, was intended to be both reve-
nue. producer and a matter of pro-
lection to the beet sugar industry OF
the u. S. To now remove that pro
lection would be "a fatal blow to thai
valuable and growing industry, and
would strip the Treasury at once OF
one of its most reliable sources oi
revenue, and the sole effect, so far
as immediate and great gain to any
one is concerned, would be to hand
over TO a corporation, now eDjoyins
enormous prosperity, a degree ol
aid and assistance in accumlatinG
larger wealth, that would shock tn
conscience of American people
Republican speakers will not le
the voters forget that this PROPOSE
tion to give the sugar trust Sl4, 900,
600 year was made by the Demo
cratic leader OF the House.
