Defends Domestic Producers
and Criticises Proposed

Defending the domestic sugar prod ucers
Of the country. and at the same time at
lacking the So-called sugar trust, Send
tor kansdell OF Louisiana addressed the
Senate today. He declared the free-sugar
schedule of the tariff bill violated the
pledge of the Baltimore platform not to
destroy legitimate industry. and declared
that III supporting free sugar the demo-
cratic party will he playing into the
hands OF the sugar trust and other re-
finers.
Nh. Ransdeil made the statement that
the cane industry OF Louisiana supported
half a million souls: that the beet
sugar industry employed 1Jo.UJp peopl,
with 10000 dependent upon il and that
.0o.aOo people in Hawaii depended on
sugar. The retiners. he declared, EN-
ployed about 10000 men.
Directly attacking the so-calicd sugar
trust, Senator Ransdell reviewed the Gus
toms frauds and the governments anti
trust suits against the American Sugar
Refining Company and declared that
former Attorney General Nickersham had
referred to some OF the reiners d .'criui-
nails of unparalleled depravty.' The
campaign for free sugar. he charged. was
conducted by the refiners TO distract at
tention from themselves. No reduction
in price to the consumer would follow
free sugar. Senator Ransdeli declared.
but charged that after competition had
oeen eliminated the price would be
raised.
Senator Ransdell contended that the
trainers of the Baltimore platform did not
contemplate free sugar. and declared that
the words that will not iniure or destroy
any legitimate industry were written
into the platform with especial refer
ence TO sugar.
The senator's argument was a very long
