well-recognized but seldom express,

ARE satisfied with conditions relating
to them under a protective-tariff I,

President and to Congress that I'll
proposal to ultimately remove the pro

cripple the sugar-beet industry o
annihilate the sugar-cane industr!
in this country. That these repres IN
tations are correct il the belief.
safe to say of a majority OF the mem-
bers of the Senate; and 1t Is equally
safe to say taht a majority Of the
Democratic majority of the Senate Is
doubtful OF the wisdom Of this free
trade policy In the treatment ol the
sugar industry OF the country. IL Is
noticeable that In his opening speech
in defense of the pending bill, the
Chairman " the Finance committee
was mute as to Schedule z; and 1t Is
also noticeable that the majority re-
port of the Finance committee on the
bill put forward Ms the most salient
fact in reference to Schedule q that
the duties now In force shall be ex
tended up to and including the 2Stf
day of February, 1914.
Il assert, without fear OF succesiu'
contradiction, that II the nat OF the
White House prescribing free sugar
were withdrawn there would be nc
difficulty in obtaising an amendmeh
to the pending bill which, while II
would in some degree reduce du'
would eliminate the freesugar pro
