nal. Mr.. William Alden Smith tRep.
Mich.l. one OF the leaders Of the beet

sition to the bill He vas accorded close

associates for departing from the Rcpub-
Iican doctrine Of protection. He looked
for no assistance from the Democrats.
who still adhere to the policy Of free
trade
Protectionists, Not Insurgents"
The beet sugar men. he said were not
insurgents" or .reconoentrados." they
were protectionists. and stood by tbs
declaration Of the great advocate OF pro
lection. William Mckinley, and by the
platform Of the Republican party.
The Republicans advocating the bill
were said 10 be 20 per cent nearer free
trade than those who were oppo~ fng il.
The first duty OF the American Congress
was to the American people I'VE are not
animated" he said. by any hostility
toward tie Island OF Cuba. We bring 20
you proposition, which, If carried to its
conclusion. will give more reaching
relief TO Cubgns than the proposition ad-
vanced by the Ways and Means Com
mittee"
He said it was not a pleasure to him to
dissent from the decision OF that com
mittee. He paid tribute to the services
Of Chairman Payne. but declared that he
was not consistent in his present po-
sition.

would enable he United States to produce
all the sugar wanted for consumption in
this country He then advised tie

MI. UndeTwOod's Question.
During his speech Mr.. Smith was inter
rupted by Mr.. Underwood Dem. Ala.
