list, thus conferring a benefit on all the people by
inviting to this country the best production* of art
and science. Now. however, the "G. O. I'.," the
party of culture, refinement and progress, took the
backward track and attempted to exclude these
articles.
DEBATE ON THE RECIPROCITY CLAl'SE.
The reciprocity amendment occasioned a long de?
bate. Mr. Teller Inquired why the President had
been restrict?*?! to two years In making reciprocity
treaties.
Mr. Allison explained that It was desired to have
comme*cial relations definitely established within
? reasonable time. It was believed this could be |
accomplished within two years.
Mr. Teller said his first thought was that the
committee were afraid to trust the next President.
Mr. White criticised the provision that reciprocity !
treaties Khali be 'approved by ?'ongrcs?." ?'on
BjreSfl ha<l the power to raise or lower duties with?
out waiting to approve a treaty, and he declared I
that thi? provision would arouse criticism on the
mental abilltv of the ?'ongress enacting It.
Mr. Allison explained that Congress ha?l no means
of negotiating with foreign ?Governments, so that
ta treaty was essential before any reciprocal plan of
tariff reduction could be executed.
The conference amendment striking out the Sen?
ate provision for a stamp tax on bonds and sto'ks
taise led to discanto?. In answer to Inquiries Mr.
Allison said that the point had been raise?! that
nn excise tax must be levied on a class of anieles as
? whole, while the Senate amendment expressly cx
c?pted bonds o' buibllng assocl.itions nnd other
?lasses of bonds. This otijeetion was felt to be well
taken, and the bond provision was abandoned.
Mr. Allen de<?lare?1 that this was another humble
submission to the money power.
Mr. Morgan asserted that there were many
reasons beyond the one assigned for the abandon?
ment of the bond tax. The main Influence was the
favoritism shown to capital. It was this favorit?
ism which was making converts to the Populist
party. Another Influence was the Sugar Trust.
which had been Instrumental in having the bond
lax abandoned, as It would affect the tremendous
r-tock transfers of the trust.
The formal reading of the conference report was
completed at 5:1'? o'clock, and the Senate at once
tarent Into executive sea.lon, adjourning soon after?
ward.
MR PAYNE'S TARIFF SPEECH.
AN ABLE EXPLANATION OF THE SUGAR
SCHEDULE-PART OF WHAT HE SAID.
[?*/ ti:i.k?.rai*h t?? ??G. nuacsra.]
Washington. July IL?One of the most effective
rpecches that has been delivered In the House of
Representatives In many years was that of Mr.
Pa>ne. of New-Vork. who closed the debaie on the
conference report on the Tariff bill. It was after
11 o'clock at night when he arose to speak, and the
House had been in continuous session for more
than eleven hours, but he commanded the earnest
and undivided attention of the members Irre?
spective of party as well as of the spectators who
throng?: d the galleries and obstructed the door?
ways. That the interest manifested was an in?
telligent interest was shown by the hearty and
often-repeated applause of Mr. Paynes party
friends. He has been for years a diligent and
thorough student of the sugar question, and some
extracts from what he said on that subject de
m tv?? to be reproduced. Among other things he
raid:
Mv friend from Virginio (Mr. 3wan;on> seems to
have a fondness for talking about ?-degree sugar.
and I will talk with him about M'-degree sugar, He
?ays that that is the average degree of sugar im?
ported, and he is pretty nearly correct about that,
although more sugars como in at M degrees than at
anv other one degree. The average Importation of
raw sugar is pretty nearly M degree?, now, take
tt-degree St. Croix sugar, which is the medium
sugar ln the market, and it Is worth l.K Cents DCf
pound to-dav. Take 40 per cent upon that, the per?
centage under th.- present Tariff law. and you have .
a dutv of seventy-four one-hnn<lr?-dtrts Ol a cent per
pound, or 74 cents upon 100 pounds. The officials of ?
the Treas.irv Department have been exp? rimcnitng I
upon this subject for a series of years. They have
taken each degree of raw sugar and formulated a
table showing the exact number of pounds that it re?
quires to make 100 pounds of refined sugar. At 92 ,
? degrees tiny find that It requires V.i.'M pounds ?? ?
? :nak.? 100 pounds of refined sugar. Now. multiply :
your 74 cents, the duty, by 114 94. or. say. Ill pounds
?which m.ikes the figuring easier), and what is th*?
result? <>n the US pounds of raw sugar you find
thtat the duty of 4?? per ci nt gives BS.1 cents on every
100 pounds. That is th? duty upon the raw sugar
that ls required to mak? 100 pounds of refined sugar.
On tho other hand, take 1'?i pounds of Dutch re?
fined sugar, equal to our refined sugar In lb*? mar?
ket, and It is worth -.*> cents per pound, or ? 00
per 100 pound?. Take 40 per cent of that and you |
have $1<?4 as the duty upon loO pounds of refined ;
sugar. Adii your one-elgbth differential, ?>r 12>?
. ? : is per 100. and vou have UM cents as the duty
upon the reined product. In addition t?> that you
may a<i>i th.- one-teath of a cent, the duty upon
the sugar thai com-'S from bounty-paying coun?
tries, bui if you do you must leduct from that
the S?' . cent's p? r IM pounds thai ^s paid as
bounty "so we will leave that out of the calcula?
tion we will glv? the other aide :!?.?? advantag? of
thai Then w? have a duty of n?'.*-, on the refined
and B.10 on th.? raw sugar, and a differential of
S4.4 cents upon the 111 pounds of raw sugar that
are required to make this 100 pounds of refined
sugar. That is tb?? differentia] under the present
law.
N"w mv friend from Virginia says that this con?
ference report makes an increase of the differen?
tial; that th*? differential will be larger under this
conference report than under the present law,
Let us see about that. ?>n PVi pounds of raw sugar
of <!?' degrees the duty proposed in the conference
report is 15.45 cents. Multiply thai by the
115 pounds to get th*? duty on the 115 pounds anil
vou hav?? $1 TKI Hut the propos?-?' duty on the
refined sugar is 0.0111 cent, anil the duty on the
100 pounds is ?1 B, according to the rate under the
proposed law.
THE DIFFERENTIAL! CONTRASTED.
Take. then, the duty on the raw sugar. BJ TT07,
from tiie $195. and you have left ?1 differential
duty of \"X: agalns?. 31.4 cents under tt.? pr?sent
?kw' Yet the gentleman from Virginia ttays that
the duty under this proposed report gives a large
Increase to sugar refiners, when the figures stand
17 cents against 2\ c?nts. What kind of common
schools do thev hav?? down ln Virginia, when a
man can get so tangled up in his figures? Rut
take the German granulated sugar, and the pro?
ti ctlon is SO per cent greater under the Wilson law
than under this conference report. The price of
German granulated ?? ?*41 per hundred pounds.
The duty of to pot <'nt ad valorem upon that
WOUld amount lo 98.8 cents per hundred. Add Hie
ore-eighth equal to life cents per hundred pounds,
and vou have $1 111 as the duty upon one hundred
p< unds of German granulated sugar. Deduct from
this the duty upon 115 pounds of ?-degree raw
sugar ?ol cents per hundred pounds, and you have
a differential, which is the protection lo the re?
finers under the present Wilson law, of 2fi.l cents
per hundred pounds, against 17 1-3 cents under the
provisions of the conference report. So the c.ei
man granulated, Whl ? Belle In our market at a
quarter of a cent ?ess than our superior refined
i-ugare, does not help you out. Now. the Importa?
tions last year w? te nearly eighty thousand tons
of refined sugar, and some forty-two thousand tons
of this refined augur ??ime directly from bounty
??r.ylng countries? from Germany and Prance; and
the bountv paid upon It helped It to get into this
market. There is no question about that Vet
everv pound of raw sugar that the Amerl-an Re?
fining Company or any other company imported
Into this country also paid a bounty equal to :'7'a
cents a hundred pounds, and on every pound of this
sugar there was levied ln this country a duty of
ci e-t?-nth of ? cent a pound. There was no advan?
tage In this one way or the other; and the disad?
vantage was in the competition with the bounty
paying sugar from those countrlea Hut half of
the r?-!'n?-d sugar imported came from the I'nited
Kingdom, from Holland, from Jap:in and ?'bina -
countries which paid no bounty. Vet these sugars
wire enabled to come In here in competition with
our refiners and to occupy a part of our market.
Why, sir, even under the enormous 1 rot* ction that
the Democratic parly gave to the refiners in 1S.I.
the Increase ln tb?? Importation was from about
Rono tons to 77 ?>>" ton?. Now we have reduced that
protection; we have reduced thai differential to the
figures 1 have Just quoted.
1'ROTECTION FOR BEB? IDOAR.
Why. Mr. Speaker. It Is impossible to place a
epeciflc duty on raw sugar and have the same
differential between every dcgr?-e of raw sugar and
refined augar. The wit of man has not yet framed
any such schedule. In lWCi the advance was four
one-bundredths of a cent t<> even dagria of sugar
by the polari?. 01 ic tests. We made it ln the House
I 111 three one-hundredth? of a cent, and Ihe confer
enee committee agreed upon three and one-half
hundredth? of a cent Did we Increase the protec?
tion? Yes, to a small degree-to about two cents a
hundred. But what eine did we do.' It was
claimed on the part of the Senate conferrees. as tt
had been claimed In the Senate, that our bill put?
ting a protection on refined sugar of 87'5 ?ente did
not protect the sugar-beet Industry. Why? Bo
cauae the product ofthe be?t-sugar factories, down
among the farmers where these factories are bl?
eated, is reflnfd sugai, and unless we put an In?
creased duty upon refined sugar we couid not build
up the beet-sugar industry.
What did we ?lo? We raised the protection on
refined sugar from 1 ?71-. to 1.95, and then rais? 1 1 In
raw sugars all along the line in the sum?: propor?
tion as we raised the refined. Did we do anything
wrong In that" I a?k you men who are surrounded
at home by farming constituencies that are reaching
out for some n?w Industry {.o tuk?? the place ?if
others on their farms, did we do anything wrong in
holding out this encouragement to the sugar-ii*?*?!

they can get out of their vocabulary, whether In
the dictionary or not. a* applied to the trust. Rut
you will never destroy a trust In that way. (?entl??
min talk about destroying the trust by taking away
the differential between Ihe raw and the refined
sugar; they ray, "Let ihem all come in on a com?
mon plane." well, ?if course, when you do that you
break down the line of protection to that beet-sugar
industry. You not only break down tlie refineries,
you not only m-n.l tln-lr employes to tramp the
street..- looking after other Jobs, but you break
down the most promising farming Industry that has
been held out to ?he farmers of thl? omntry in the
las; century. The remedy I* worse thun the dis?

What shall be done with the Sugar Trust? Well,

AKKA.NC.INO TO RUN ADDITIONAL,
STEAMEflfl TO THE CliMNDYKE.
San Franels?-o, July 21.?The steamship t*ma
tllla, whl"h arrived to-day from I'uget Sound
ports, brought down almost I'JiKt.lMa? worth <?f
Alaskan pold, of which Jfl'iH.TiM? was In gold
?lust from Seattle, consigned to the Wells Fargo
Company. There were several other shipments
of gold in sacks. Home was shipped directly
from Juneau, and advices from that place
are to the effect that at least SVB?J0BS worth of
dust was waiting ehlpment at various Alaskan
stations.
Among the sensational advices received was
one from St. Michael'? to the effect that over
flOOOlOOO In gold dust, which had not been In?
cluded with the fortunes brought here by min?
ers, will be shipped through the Wells Fargo
Company; other lucky miners having reached
the island since the departure of the Excelsior
an?! Portland, who have secured greater fort?
unes Individually than those whose stories have
already been told.
Although the capacity of the steamer Port?
land, which sails to-morrow for St. Michael's,
and the Excelsior, which sails on the 'JMth, Is
limited to about 111! passengers, over one thou?
sand applications have been made for berths.
Most Of the disappoint???! ones ar" making ar?
rangements to trnvel to Tacoma by rail and SS?
, m, passage on the Mexico an?l Topeka. which
sail from there next week: but many must In?
evitably wait until next spring.
The Alaska Commercial Company has closed
Its books for tlie Excelsior. Scores Hocked to the
company'? office again to-day. and enough de?
cided to go that way to make up the quota that
the steamer can tarry. A gnat majority g.? from
San Fiaiiii.-co, but a number belong to the In?
terior of the State, which is largely supplying re?
cruits for the Yukon. These passengers are but
a small part <>f the California army which is
mustering for the advance. A great many will
let ihe season for travel close with the firm In?
tention of going in th?? spring.
Port Townsend, Wash., July 21.?Owing to
the present rush to the Clondyke g.?ld fields and
tho still greater rush which is expected next
spring, the Puget Sound TugWit Company has
? elded to put a steamer on the Yukon EUver
to carry passengers and freight from St. Mi?
chael's to Circle Cltv md the Clondyke Valley.
(Steamboat men here estimate that, beginning
about April 1 n?xt, a large steamer can leave
the hV?Und for Alaska, daily, with all the passen?
ger and freight accommodations crowded.
Beattle, Wash., July Lil.?There are promises
Of an additional steamer service between this
city and St. Michael's, and also a line of Yukon
River steamer.... Arrangements an n??w being
mad?? by a company that Is being organized by
local and Eastern capitalists. Th?? scheme is t.?
bul'.d a seagoing steamship ami a light-draught
liVOT Steamer for the business between St. Mi?
chael's and Dawaon city. The company is or>
g, nising ?ni a ?f'_'? ? i,i ? m ? paid-in capital basis.
i:. w. Shaw, formerly a well-known Insur?
ance ??'an of this city, has written a letter to a
business man of Seattle, in which he states
frankly he does not expect to be believed.
"Th.s is a great mining strike," says Shaw.
"probably Ihe greatest on th?? American Conti?
nent or in the world. Gold has nut been found
in gr.-at paying quantities except on two creeks
covered by about two hundred ?laims. Some of
th?? pay streaks are nearly ail gold. One thou?
sand dol?ais to the pftn is not an uncommon
thing, and as high as ?me hundred? ounces have
b? n tak--n out in a single pan. It is not uti
USUal to SSS ?"???? coming in with all the gold
dust they can carry.
"TotJ would not believe me when I tell you
that I went Into ona cabin and counted Uve
?VgSJlOn oilcans full of gold dust, but It Is a
fact. It is the result of the work of two men
during th?? winter, and the dump is not much
more than half worked out. There has been
about S'_',?iiiit.(?M(i in dust taken out so far in tb??
district At ? low ?stimate. I believe there will
be S'.u.ihhi.ihmi taken out during the next year."
.Ww-Cnrllsl??. Ind.. July 21.?Frank Phlscater,
Of this city, who went to the Clondyke last win?
ter, has Ju?t returned with .?.**,(??Uri) in gold. He
reached tha Bold in th?- dead ?>f winter. He dug
a hoi?? in the ground large enough t.? hold him?
self and his provisions. After many weeks >>f
s'-arching. he one ?lay cam?? upon a little stream
which flowed down the Bide Of a mountain and
emptied into a basin. The waier was clear, and
In peering down its shallow depths Phlscater
discovered gold. He picked all his metal out of
th" Ice-cold water.

richness of the mine. They say the great min?? lies
about fifty miles south of Sentinel Station, on the

A BENEFIT To AMERICAN VEMELf*.
Washington. Jcly 21 The rush of miners, sup?
plies nnd goods to the Alusku gold fields Is ex

pacific ?Oast. Tr.nie between the United stat.-s
and Alaska Is restricted by law to American ves?

any exceptions or grant any privileges to foreign

famine was reported in the Yukon district, und ap?
plication to permit a foreign steamer to carry re?
