Ill considering the Important tiuestlo : whether the differential proposed by elthc tliu houre or the senate bill Is prentcr thai It should be , we are bound In fairness to Ink Into consideration existing conditions nm the changes which hnvu taken place sine the enactment of the act of lS.Pt.Vhcn . thn net was under dlFcusslon in the senate th difference of German granulated nnd rav beet Mmnr , 8S per cent analysis , was .57 of i cent per pound. In March the difference wa ,3T of n cent per pound. The. importations o refined sugars Into the United State amounted In 1MU to I.OOO.OOfl pounds , nnd I ISM to H.OOO.COO pound * . The Importation in ISM nmounted to 187.000,000 pounds , whll the Importations In the Blnglo month a April. U97. uniounted to nearly 32,000,00 pounds , German refiners have driven th pugar refining business of Great Itrltnin ill > no t entirely out of existence. They nrc us I have n 'ready stated. Invading over sugar market of the world with their prod net. Most of the Gorman granulated Im ported Is the result of a continuous pruces ' of refining. For months raw 'lieot sugn nnd German grannlnted hnvo Fold on nbsn Into parity of valut- , taking Into nccoun only the percentages of pure sugar contnlnc In ench. If wo can nssiime the cost of re lining sugar In the United States t be up proxlmntely Vj cent per pound , nnd If Gcr jnnn rellned can be sold without lois on th swine basis with German ran. . It must b evident that the differentials mipgested I the scnato proposition are not excessive , bu they are qnlto .Ikely In thn near future t jirovn Inadequate to apruro the contlnuanc of the bus'nesrt if the fugnr refining In th United States. If the importations of tier man granulated should Increase at the pam rntlo , that they have since the net of ISO ixas adopted , the Germans \\lll certainly se euro nt an early day a largo part of th American market. The protection offered by the differential proposed \ > y the senate committee Is , I bo lleve , not only less by prrcenlnge , but ler with reference to the actual rrmiliement of thn Industry , than tlnu nffortled by rate imposed upon any other Important produc by the terms of the bill.

Nei Vork. i In rcfcnnl to the llfiwnllnn treaty. Tlio ex isting commercial tronty between the United Stalofl and the government of these Islands provides for the free admission of raw siiR-nrs , Ilio product of the island * . Into tha tfnltcd States. If this treaty ohould re main In force It would result In KlvlriR a bounty to thn Hawaiian siiRnr producers amounting to more than Js.trw.OOO per annum. It wns not contemplated when the original treaty was made , or when It was extended , that any possible advantage of this kind could ever result from Ha terms to the poo- tile of the SnndwMj Inlands. The effect of this liounty would undoubt edly be to stimulate enormoutdy the produc tion of stmar In the Hawaiian Islands. While we ennnot fairly abrogate n treaty of this kind with a frclndly country without notice , wo believe that negotiations should at once bo entered Into looking to such a modifica tion of the treaty ns will reduce the bounty to be ttnld Hawaiian mipar prodiieer.1 to a reasonable sum , nnd the committee will pre sent nn amendment lookhiR in this direction nt an early day. There should be no dltll- cultv In securing throuRh the tieaty-tnak- IIIK IKWKM such n treaty as would be sntts- factorv to both countries without Injury to the other.

WOOI , SCHBDUM3. Important rhnngM have been made In schedule 1C , both In the rntes onyol and on manufactured woo'eiis. In dealing with the wool schedule , the committee hns dp- cldcd on more liberal rates to the domestic wool grower than It hns recommended for the proilucer ot any manufactured niMclc In the schcilules : It hns nl ! = o suggested for him n more effective protection thnn ho has over received under nny tnrlff law nf the United States nt the time of Its ennctment. The wool growers nro given the benefit of a specific duty upon all classes of wool. Under the operation of this fixed specific duty , the amount of protection afforded will Increase with each new decline In the for eign value of this raw material. The com mittee ban aimed to give the wool prower * a rale of duty which will average from 10 nor cent to 20 per cent higher tdan the rates of earlier tariffs. In doing this It Is giving a higher protection upon the raw material than upon the manufactured product In Bvtrv cn c * Very careful consideration 1ms been given to the compensatory duty on woolen goods , with the result ot reducing the compen satory rates on low grade goods , Into whoso mnnUfacluro more or less of other ma terials than wool enter. On the high grade poods the compensatory duties arc llxed on fho same bas-ls that has obtained In all pre vious tariffs. The house mil rate of 32 per cent on can'et wools costing- less than M cents n pound has created more notation nnd opposition than any other feature of the wool schedule. It Is alleged by the wool Cowers thnt this low rate of duty on car pet wools destroys the effectiveness of the protection afforded upon the higher irrartcs of wool by reason of the temptation It of fers to Import these low woofs to be uped In cheviots , golf suitings nnd other popular fabrics which do not require line wools. Without nndertnklm : to iilllrm the correct ness of these allegations regarding the ex tensive uo of these carpet woo.a for cloth ing purposes , the committee recognized tne fact that there Is some t > urh une made ol them. To remove all possible ground for com'ilalnt on this score they have IKert the duties on class 3 , wools , ntI cents a pound under 10 cents In value , anil at 7 cents n pound over thnt valuation. Under these duties the nil valorem equivalents will range on the vnrlous cllos from IK per cent up to ffl per cent , nnd In some Instances 70 per cent , and they are higher than In any pre vious law. It Is certain that under these duties foreign carpet wo'ls ennnot lie Im ported to take the place of domestic wools in the cloth manufacture. Taking this feature of the woo' schedule Into account. It Is a fact definitely demon strated by the market reports thnt the pro tection p'lven the American wool growei under the senate bill Is jjreatcr nnd mfre effective thnn he has ever before received Ir an Ameilcan tnrlff. Under this schedule wool groxv'.ng should betrume In lime cm of the mopt profitable branches ) of Ameri can agriculture. Many changes nre made In schedule N The one which will attract most attention Is the placing of a. duty upon hides ot cattle HeDresentntlvea of the western states Ir which cattle nre raised linve been for man > years Insisting thnt n duty on hides shoult llnd n plnce In a tariff bill which wns in tended to protect nil American Interests This contention has been resisted by th < tanners of the country , who believed tha It would place nn unnecessary burden upoi their Important Industry. I shall not attemp to enter In detail Into the reasons which lei the committee to suggest the Imposition o the duty. Speaking for myself. I bollevi that the fearH which hnve been so emphatic ullv expressed as to the Injurious effects o the dutv hnve been Inrgely overestimate ! nnd thnt no very serious burden will In placed upon either the tanning , the leathci or the boot and shoo Industry If the amend ment should bo adopted. CIIANGI3 IS IN FREE LIST. Jtnny changes nro suggested In the frei list. Among the morn notable of these Is i recommendation to return to the liberal pro visions of the existing law with regard t < the free lmi > ortutlon of books , works of art ntc. . under certain condition- . At the time the bill was reported fron the committee It was stated In UH behnl that an amendment looking to the mon rnold development nnd extension or reclp rocnl trade with foreign countries ) woul < be rcDortod from the committee nt a latei day. The committee has not yet found op nortiinlly to prepare such an amendment It seemed to It thnt the provL-dops of thi housu bill In this connection would not provi effective. It Is tbo purpose of the commit ten to prepare n provision which will en nblo the government of the United States within certain llxed limits and without fur ther legislative action , to enter upon nr rangcments or to ncsotlute rcelproclt ] treaties looking to nn extension of our for elgn trade. In suggesting the striking ou of th house provision the commltteo line no purpose of abandoning the republlcat reciprocity policy. It hopes to be able t ( suggest Biich provisions as will enable oui government to greatly extend that pollcj n > - ' niuito it adoption permanent. The committee also hopes , before Ihe bll l . .io.us uit'oiuite , to bu nblo to present cer tnln needed amendment : ) to the customs nd mlnlstrntlun lav. ' . The Industrial system ot the United Stnte ; Is growing more and more complex everj year. It la becoming more dllllcult even year to sntlsfv , In u tariff revision , con dieting claims of seftlcmsf , or to so ndjin rntes as. to do nn injust-ce to ntiy of tin vnrled Interests of this great country.

Hut will tlicso Items ( about J3C.OOO.OOO ) out , there re tnalnc-d about $92.000.000 avallatde for tin iwes of ( lie government , To overcome tin Mr. Dlnglcy nays we ought to Increase tin gold reserve to $150,000,000. Even If then was a deficit of JC5.000.000 which Mr. Ves did not admit yet there waa ample In thi treasury to meet that deficit. Why , then should we hurry to put more taxes on thi people , when every dollar unncccMarllj hoarded by the government Is a crime ngnlnst the people ? Mr. Vest said It was mosi unfortunate that the republican side hail of fercd no estimate of revenue until today Inquiry had been made of Statistician Port sa to the promised comparative statement and ho had staled that It wns turned over tt the senator from IthoJe Island ( Aldrlch ) . Mr Vest asked what Iho estimate ot Mr. Fori was on the bill. Mr. Alrtrlch replied that the stallstlclai stated that In his opinion neither the houai nor the scnato bill woulil furnish sufllclcni to meet the expemics of the government. Mr. Voflt , proceeding , declared that the pro. position to ralso $51,000.000 of revenue by t tax on tea and Increasing Internal revenue was n naked and .bold abandonment of thi protective policy of the republican party Whcro waa the protection to American inatiu facttirers In these taxes , ho asked. The senator said that the greatest suffering In the country waa felt In the ngrlcultura states. With abundant harvests the peopli were -without money and were appealing u congress for relief. CIIANUL.HII INTEIinUPTS. Mr. Chandler Interrupted with nn Inqulrj as to where the vast accumulation tn tlu treasury which Mr. Vest had alluded t ( came from. "Docu tuo senator mean thai the Wilson bill put It there , and If not , how did It Kit there ? " asked 'Mr. ' Chandler. "Wo nil know , " answered Mr. Vest , "thai It came from the sile of bonds whlc'l I dli : not approve , but It makes no difference where It came from. There tt Is In the treasury , nnd what right have you to In crease the taxes on the people when ciiougl : Is In the treasury already ? " The senator declared that the urgent neei ! was not for greater taxes , but for more money and better prices. The fall In prices must be stayed before there could bo nnj prosperity. He mentioned ns cue source ol evil thnt our workers wcro paid on a gob ; bfisls and came Into competition with tlicat paid on a silver basis. "Tho senator from Nevada ( Stewart ] usually makes that argument , " Interposed Mr. GallliiRer of New Hampshire. "He has based It usually on Japan's use of silver am now Japan tins repudiated silver. " "You mean Japan baa bought H , " Mr Stewart put in. Mr. Vest then turned to several of the schedules and discussed them In detail first ho took up the sugar schedule. In- geulous tables could bo prepared ns to sugai differentials and the tables of the senatoi from IlhoJo Island ( Aldrlch ) were of this Ingenious kind. The whole thing turned or ono point , said Mr. Vest , and no ono but th < expert Insldo the. sugar refinery was aide to tell this. It was as to how- much raw sugar would make 100 pounds of refine ! sugar and what amount of waste will then be. Ono of the Sugar trust officials hni testified before the Lcxow Investigation tha ; profits of 21 per cent had been realized That amount could be made only on thi waste , and the sugnr expert was the onlj man who know about this waste. Wltliou1 discussing the Hawaiian treaty , Mr. Ves said that It would have been nt least mon honorable had the committee proposed t ( abrogate the Hawaiian treaty , rather that kill it Indirectly. "How1 Is It possible to defend the Incrcnsi of duty on lead. " asked Mr. Vest , "whqn tin Lead trust s making enormous profits am declaring 12 per cent dividends on Its stock common and preferred. Why double the rati on lead , a product going Into every pee home , In order to feed the cormorant tasti of these monopolists ? " On earthenware and crockery the senate said the Incrcaaexl dtitlcB were appalling. Th framerg of the bill had undertaken to mak the duties absolutely prohibitory. And thi on the goods which BO Into every homo. I was outrageous oppression , the senator de clarcd. Referring to the wool schedule. Mi Vest spoke of the conflicting claims of th wool manufacturers and Mr. Lawrence , "th she-pard king. " As to hides , Mr. Vest said ho warned re publican senators that hldca would go bacl on the free list , as a result of thrifty Noi England sentiment. In conclusion , Mr. Vest said there was n dlpcsltlon to delay the consideration of th bill. There would bo no factious oppoaltloi and no unnecessary objection. AMENDMENT BY CANNON. Mr. Cannon , ellver republican of Utah Introduced an amendment for a bounty 01 agricultural exports and spoke briefly. H said the pending1 bill without any protectloi to the farmer would be a rank Injustice and would bo a violation of the pledge whlcl the victorious party made In Its platform t the voters last year. If tlio bill shall fall t give some measure of justice to the farmer then , ho will overthrow It at the flr.U . op portunlty , declared > Mr. Cannon. It was a singular fact , commented Mr Chandler , that the Utah senator had loni supported a protective tariff , and now con eluded that the system ho advocated wa robbery. Mr. Cannon responded that in his guile Icasncss as a republican he had accepted th entire protective Idea , but now , with th responsibility of weighing the merlin of over ; protective- proposition ho Insisted on equal Ulng tlio advantages so that the farmer wouli receive a share. The tariff bill was then laid aside for tin day.At At 5:15 : p. m. the senate went Into execu tlvo scission and soon afterward adjourned , AMH.VIIMKXTS TO Till ! !
