It Is Agreed Upon by Republican Sell-.-

A ALL WILL STAND TOGETHER

An Agreement to Support the various
Schedules of the Tariff Bill by the
Republicans—Senator Vest
Attacks the Measure.

Washington, June 9.—The Repub-
lican senatorial caucus voted to stand
together on all schedules in the tariff
bill. The caucus instructed the finance
committee to report a new sugar sched-
ule. The new sugar schedule is to be
all specific, and on all sugar whiéh has
gone through a process of refining the
duty will be .0135 cent per pound in-
stead of .01875 cent per pound, as pro-
vided by the house.

Coarse raw sugars from the Philip-
pine islands and Java are to be admit-
ted at‘one—tenth of a cent less than
other raw sugars.

The abrogation of the Hawaiian
treaty was discussed, but no conclusion
was reached when. the caucus adjourn—
Ed;

In the course of his prayer on the

opening of the senate, the acting chap—v

lain, Rev. Hugh Johnson, invoked a
speedy return of contentment and pros—
perity, and that the condition of the
poor and suffering may be ameliorated
by the great measures before congress.
The attendance of senators was unusu-
ally large, as it was felt that the tariff
bill had entered its most important
stages. When the consideration of the
tariff bill was resumed, Mr. Allison
(Iowa) requested that the sugar'sched-
ule be passed over.

Mr. Vest remarked that it was an
open secret that the majority had made
modifications in the sugar schedule, and
it was important that some under-
standing be had as to when the modi-
fications would be presented and when
the schedule would be taken up.

To \Vithdraw House Amendments.

This led to a definite statement from
Mr. Allison. There were no open se-
crets that he knew of, he said. He con-
curred with the suggestion that an un-
derstanding should be reached, and he
would now announce, he said,» that the
committee proposed to modify the sug-
ar schedule by asking the senate to dis-
agree ‘to the committee amendments to
the house bill, or, if in oi‘der, to with—
draw those amendments; also in line
22, page 63, to strike out “875-1000” and
insert “BS—100;" also to ,add, after line
19, page 64, a new paragraph, to be
known as 206%. Mr. Allison stated
also that the committee was not yet
prepared to present a provision relat—
ing to sugar imported from the Ha-
waiian Islands. Under the circum-
stances he asked that the consideration
of the sugar schedule be temporarily
passed over and taken up later.

Mr. Vest said this would be satisfac-
tory. He wanted the consideration of
the sugar schedule to proceed, as it was
the “most troublesome, most scandal-
ous and most irritating in the whole
bill,” and it ought to be got out of the
way. Schedule G, relating to agricul-
tural products and provisions, was then
taken up. ,

Mr. Jones (Ark.) moved to strike out
the first five paragraphs, relating to
live animals, cattle, hogs, horses, mules
and sheep, and substitute a provision
covering all live. animals at 20 per cent
ad valorem. _Rejected——yeas, 22; nays,
38. ' i}

The New Sugar Schedule.

The text of the new sugar schedule is
as follows: .

Sugars not above No. 16 Dutch
standardin color, tank bottoms, sirups
of cane juice, melada, concentrated me—
lada, concrete and concentrated mo-
lasses, testing by the polariscope not
above 75 degrees, 1 cent per pound, and
for every additional degree shown by
the polariscopic test 3-100 cent per pound
additional, and fractions of a. degree in
proportion, and on sugar above No. 16
Dutch standard in color and on all sugar
which has gone through a process of re-
fining, 1 95-100 cents per pound. Molasses
testing above 40 degrees and- not above
56 degrees, 3 cents per gallon; testing
56 degrees and above, 6 cents per gal—
lon. Sugar drainings and sugar sweep-
ings shall be subject to duty'as mo-
lasses or sugar as the case may be, ac-
cording to polariscopic test. Sugars,
tank bottoms, sirups, cane juice or beet
juice, melada, concentrated melada and
concrete and concentrated molasses the
product of any country which pays di-
rectly or indirectly a bounty on the ex-
port thereof, whether. imported directly
and in condition as exported therefrom
or otherwise, shall pay in addition to
the foregoing rates a duty equal to such
bounty, or so much thereof as may be
in excess of any tax collected by such
country uponsuch exported article, or
upon the beet or cane from which it was
produced.

A new paragraph is added as follows:

‘That the duty on molasses 'clayed,
joggery and other sugars testing not
above 87 degrees by the polariscope
shall be 1-10 of 1 cent per pOund less
than those .imposed by the preceding
paragraph on the corresponding tests of
Eli. Evieans the Bill‘s Passage.

An important feature of the senate's
caucus was the determination reached
to vote together as a party, which in-
sures favorable action on all contested
schedules and the passage of the bill
as approved by the majority. This de-

.~. termination was reached upon a sug—
gestion made by Senator Thurston.

This suggestion led to the most inter-

esting incident of the caucus. There

had been several references to the
meeting as a "conference." Mr. Thur-

Ston objected.

Mr: Vest turned his attentionto gen—
eral features of the tariff debate, re~
verting to the course of some of his
Democratic associates in supporting
revenue tariff rates. here was a time
once when he, too, was ignorant enough
and foolish enough to support the idea
of revenue duties with incidental pro-
tection. But he was soon disabused of
that idea, as he had found that it turn-
ed the congress of the United 'States
into a. convention like that ,of the mon-
keys who while pursuing their delib-
erations were suddenly thrown into a
Wild scramble when nuts were thrown
in the cage. Immediately that you rais-
ed duties to a high point all the benefi—
ciaries‘ joined in the grab fOr the nuts.

It was the‘old storyof avarice. and
greed. The talk of a revenue duty was
'merely an excuse, he asserted. The in.-

 

SCHEDULE

'teresu involved Were “hoary, gray,
giants in power, not with the feeble
whine of infants, but with the roar of
the giant-2’," "

Free Lumber, Free Salt, Free Wool. ,

Merest declared that he would give
up‘his seat in the senate rather than
vote against free lumber, free salt or
free wool, the three great achievements
of the VViIson bill.

Mr. 'Mantle (Mon.) answered briefly
that the barley duties would be highly
beneficial to the barley raisers of Mon-
tana, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The vote was then taken on Mr. Jones’
amendment, and it was disagree to—
yeas, 17; nays, 34.

Three Democrats—McEnery, Rawlins

' and Tillman—and three PGpulis‘ts—Al-

len, Butler and Heitfeld—voted with
the Republicans in the negative.

On barley malt Mr. Vest moved to
substitute 49 per cent ad valorem for 45
cents per bushel.‘ Disagreed to without
division. The various paragraphs on
barley were agreed to as reported. On
buckwheat Mr. Vest moved to substi-
tute 20 per cent for 15 cents per bushel.
The amendment was disagreed to—
yeas, 18; nays, 28. Two Democrats,
McEnery and Tillman,_voted with the
Republicansdn the negative. On corn
or maize Mr. Vest mlwed-to substitute
20 percent ad valorem for 15 cents per
bushel. Disagreed to—16,\to 30—three
_, Democrats, McEnery, Rawlins and Till-
man, voting iu the negative.

The paragraphs relating to live ani-
mals were agreed to as reported, that
on hogs being amended to “swine.” On
barley Mr. Jones (Ark.) moved to sub—
stitute 40 per cent ad valorem for the
rate in the bill, 30 cents per bushel.

“We now enter upon a series of enor-

said Mr. Vest ironically, “and without
violating the rules of parliamentary
procedure I will say it is a fraud, a
sham and. a pretense.” .He declared
that theidea of protecting the farmer
on barley, wheat, oats, etc., when mil—
lions of bushels of these products were
being exported was a palpable effort to
deceive the agricultural classes. It was
designed to cajole the farmers by “ab-
solutely spectacular duties.” The sen-
ate presented statistics showing that our
exports last year were in the millions
While the imports were nominal and in
the thousands. And yet, he said, this
chaff of an increase of duties from 20
per cent to 100 per cent was being passed
off on the farmers. It was an old, stale
subterfuge, he asserted, and the Re-
publican party was trying to play on
the ignorance of the farmers by saying,
“My dear ibucolic friend, we, your
friends, will undertake to deceive you
as we did in 1890, in order to catch your
votes.” , . '

Mr. Gear (Ia.)“'interposed the state-
ment that the debate was on the barley
paragraph and on barley. The imports
from Canada, where there were cheap
‘labor and cheaper lands, were 11,000,-
000 bushels the year prior to the Mc-
Kinley act, and these fell to 3,000,000
bushels after that act. Mr. Gear said'
the farmers of his state supported this
increased duty on barley and the grand
master of the state grange was one of
its chief advocates.

M’KINLEY’S MONEY PLAN.

Reported That He Will Appoint a, Com-
mission to Investigate the Currency.
New York, June 8.—-The World says

it. is reported that the president has

written a special message to congress,

recommending the appointment of a

commission 'to investigate the currency

question and 'that he will send it to
congress as soon as the tariff bill is out
of the way.

The creation of such a commission has
been pressed upon the attention of Mr.
McKinley since he entered the White
House by the executive committee of
the Indianapolis monetary convention,
which has maintained headquarters in
this city.

H. H. Hanna of Indianapolis is chair-
man of the committee and has had fre—
quent consultation with the president
on the subject. .

Secretary Gage is a stanch supporter
of the scheme, and from all that can be
learned gthe president thinks a commis-
sion of able men might get good results
from an investigation to be made the
basis for legislation at the regular ses-
sion of' congress.
