Mr. Newlanda (Populist) of Nevada
said the disease which was sought to
be remedied by the proposed legislation
was a world-wide disease, due to falling

Mr. Chandler was followed by Mr. Aid-

Ferrl*. secretary ot the planter* con- pu t | n the statute, of the tTntt> 1 Slates,
vention, recently held in New Orleans:
“Lamsirc, La , June 4.—Hon. N. W.
Aldrich: The great majority of sugar
planters of fhl* state favor the boun:y,
or demand Its equivalent, aa the pres
ent schedule means ruin. The sugar
convention never pa*3ed any resolu
tion, endorsing the acts of senators
Oaffery or Blaaichard on their present

Mr. Broderick (Republican) of Kansas
said the MU was obnoxious; it was class
legislation of the worst sort, tf the
tax was a good thing when passed
tt should be enforced until the law bad
been repealed.
The arrangement sought Cb be made
earlier by Mr. Cox was then agreed to.
The last two hours—from 3 to & o’clock
—were divided between the two sides,
Mr. Harter occupying an hour In favor
of the repeal bf the state bank Ux and
Mr. Dtngley of Maine controlled the
hour In opposition to the repeal.
Mr. Campbell (Democrat) of New
York had read a letter from Conrad
N. Jbrdan. rx-Un4ted Ststea treasurer
and peeaident of the Western National
Bank of New York, favoring the repeal
of the tax law.
Mr. Gear (Republican) of loam gave a
leaf or two from hla personal experience
with the Issues of out* banks In ante
wrar times and reason* why, <n hi* bpm-
lon. th* people of th* country would
not return willingly to that system ot
currency.
Mr. Harter said that the trouble with
th* country was not that It anrfered
from an Insufficient volume bfcurrency,
but from the quality of currency. Its
inflexIMIIty nnd inability to perform
promptly the purposes of money at tha
pise# where It was needed. A new sys
tem was essential to renewed and con
tinued prosperity of th* Cbuntry and
his beiiet was that If the proper system
of mat* banks was established by the
end of the century the country would
do barter than u»»y. Hpeaklng of the
work accomplished by the state hank*

ment never had such a friend nor such
an efficient nllv as the sute bulks bf
1M0. They were stronger than the gov
ernment. maintaining gold payments
long after the latter had suspended.
Tbs national bunking system, he said,
was based upon the state banks, but
unfortunately for tbs country since, th*
best features of the state banks Itad
not been taken in establishing national
banka.
In conclusion Mr. Harter pleaded with
lhe Republicans upon patriotic grounds
to voit (or th* repeal of the tax law,
asserting that with tbs accomplishment

"David G. Ferrl*."
Mr. Higgins resumed his remarks
and argued against the Jones amend
ment, postponing the time for the su
gar schedule to go Into effect, charac
terising it as the las dreadful set
of extortion which this bill proposes to
perpetrate on th* American people."
Mr. Chandler also argued against th*
amendment.
Mr. Aldrich then went Into tn elaborate
discussion of the sugar provisions to
show that they would result In large
benefits to the sugar trust. The sugar
trust scandal was again brought up. ,nd
Mr. Vest recalled the condition of tnlngs
during the pendency of the McKinley
tariff law. There was then, he said, the
same conditions, tha same Ilea, the same
fabrications, the same attacks upon pub
lic men, which amounts to nothing.
Mr. Vest supported his assertions with
extract* from Republican newspapers of
Is*', condemning the action ot the aesate
In Increasing th* protection to the sugar
Interests from It cents per 109 pounds to
•0 cents. The senator from Maine, ha
said, had the hardihood to aay that the
sugar trust did not than attract atten
tion; In face of the (act that I.4W.000
shares of stock of thst trust were sold
In tha New York stock market tn 1*0.
Mr. Aldrich expressed on hla part "great
surprise at the hardihood" of Mr. Vest
In stating that ths senate had raised
duties in 1390 from 19 to 99 cents per too
pounds.
Bo did you," Mr. Vest persisted.
Nothing of the sort ever took place-
nothing approximating lb" Mr. Aldrich
•aid. with equal persistency.
Then Mr. ghermnn got Into the dla-
cuaston In an attempt to prove that there
was no sugar truat In M90; but ne was
Immediately met by his Democratic col
league, Mr. Brice, who asserted positively
that the sugar truat or combination, was
than in existence, having a capitalization
of tSA.000.000. and when the sugar trust
had made Its arrangement with the sen
ate committee, then controlling the Mc
Kinley bill, the prlca of the stock rose
from <3 to Ot.
Mr. Vest charged Mr. Aldrich with
wanttnrrio retain the McKinley act. "tha
paradise ot the trust,” with K cents per
100 pounds on mined sugar, and with
raw sugar free. "And we," he continued,
aa the Republican senators indulged in
a quit! laugh, "art lighting that truat
today and doing tha beat wa can to cut
down lu protection."
The controversy was suddenly stopped
by a knock from the gavel of the vice-
president, who atated that tha hour had
arrived for beginning to vote on the
sugar schedule, and that the question
was on i«B amendment offered by Mr.
Jones, postponing the repeal of the sugar
bounty provision from July 1, list, to
January t. UK. Tha vote was taken
and the result was announced as 40 to
11; but when there wen soma withdraw
als of votes on account of pairing, tha
corrected result was given as 38 to 31.
On this vow the Populist senators,
Messrs. Allen an> Kyis, voted with the
Democrats and Mr. Peffer with the Re
publicans. Mr. HUI did not vote, and
Mr. Irby of South Carolina waa paired
with Mr. Dixon (Republican) of Rhode
Island.
A aeries ot amendments were then of
fered by Messrs. Msndsrson and Alt.aon
looking to th* retention and to the grad
ual extension of the sugar bounty. All
were rejected. Then the question recurred
on the amendment offered hy Mr. Jones.
Inserting aa an additional paragraph
—Id*—the following:
“On and after January I, 18X. there
shall be levied, collected and paid on all
sugars and on all tank bottoms, syrups
of canelulc* or of beet Juice, melada,
concentrated melada, concrete and con.
centrated molasses, a duly of 40 per
cent; ad valorem, and upon all suxnrs
and the members of n greit party craven-
ly submit to thetr demands."
Mr. Palmer replied with a show of In-
dlgmtlon to the charges aimed at the
Democratic senators bv Messrs. Hole,
Aldrich nnd Chandler, "the licensed thcr-
sites of this body."
Finally the question was taken on the
Jones amendment, parafrsph VSTA. and

Mis* Bandren Is considered the most thor
ough teacher of ths Bwedleh system In

fortunate In securing her most valuable

Special mention should be made ot tbs

The girls climbed the ropes hand over
