Debate on Schedules Shows
President Will

SMOOT ASSAILS
FREE SUGAR
Utah Senator Makes His
Fourth Speech on the
Tariff Bill

Washington, Aug. 20.-The debate on
the sugar schedule OF the tariff bill is
on. While the vote may be close, it is
reported that the free sugar schedule
will be accepted. This will be a victory
for the president, which will tend to
offset the expected revolt against the
currency bill
Senator Smoot of Utah. in his fourth
speech ON the Wilson Underwood tariff
bill, delivered in the Senate yesterday,
declared that the Democratic majority
had betrayed the people" by removing
the duty on sugar.
"The enactment of this BILL Senator
Smoot asserted, will hand over to the
tender merces of little group of sugar
refiners the absolute control of the sugar
market of l00000,000 American sugar
consumers. 1t is bill to promote mo-
nopoly, to destroy competition"
Senator Smoot tainted the Democrats
with having accepted dumbly, with
averted faces, this Ubiquitous provision,
which is violative of the prediction
promises OF your great party, which is
reported to the Senate under caucus in
structions like an imperial ukase from
the throne of the ear"
Senator Bristow of Kansas opened the
discussion. He had offered an amend
ment which proposed duty OF one cent
a pound on sugar. The senator from
Kansas reviewed the beet sugar industry
of the United States. He explained that
it was only sixteen years old, but III
that brief period had made more prog
ress in the United States than in any
other country in the world. He showed
that from seven factories in 1897 the
industry had grown to about seventy
seven this year.
Senator Bristow insisted that the fight
for free sugar was being engineered by
the refners. He declared the reduction
in price would not affect the consumer,
who would not get sugar any cheaper
by virtue of the reduced duty and ulti-
mate free sugar.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota also
pointed out that his state was particu
1arly well adapted to growing sugar
beets and that the threat of free sugar
had prevented the building of beet sugar
factories.
Senator Lodge also made brief
speech on the sugar question. He went |
into the historical record of beet sugar |
growing and declared that free sugar |
could not be justified upon any economic |
principle. He warned the Democrats in
the Senate that they were sacrificing
over S60000,000 a year in revenue and
were destroying the beet sugar industry |
and probably the cane sugar industry.
Senator Lodge reviewed the tendency |
IN prices of sugar since 1882 down to
the present and showed there had been |
a gradual reduction in price during that |
period, from 0 100 cents a pound in |
1902 to less than half that price at
present.

aware of the mems derelictions and had
taken steps to stop them, thus adding to
their fears and contributing further
cause for their flight. The defence
sought to show that Diggs took Marsha

it was not for an immoral purpose that

When the trial was resumed this
morning it was generally believed that
taking of testimony would be concluded
before the afternoon adjournment and
that the case would go to the jury some
time to-day.
A paradox in the defence of this case
is that in the attempt made to save
young Diggs his reputation is being de-
liberately assailed The defence is at
tempting to prove that he and F. Drew
Caminetti with the Warrington girl and
Lola Norris went from Sacramento to

simply to escape the consequences of a

to break over them in Sacramento.
