refused. &c TO AZ, to strike out the
Dutch standard test OF the sugar
schedule as proposed by Senator Bris

Mr. Cummins, ono of the "Progres-

sugar development in the United
States by the continued admission OF
free sugar from Porto Rico and Ha-
waii, and the Philippine islands, IL
the pending bill should authorize such
admission from the Philippines. Mr..
Cummlns questioned the wisdom of
permitting cane sugar eventually to
kill the beet sugar Industry, as he
said it might. He said he had no
doubt that Cuba would also, in time,
send her sugar here free OF duty.
Interrupting, Senator Foster sug-
gested that he would join the senator
from Iowa In any onort to make free
sugar from the Philippines.

ability exists to supply the entire de.
