The Arkansas Election Case in the House. —-+— A SHARP DEBATE ON THE REPORT. —_._—_ SENATE, Mr. Evarts presented resolutions of the Buf- falo Merchants’ Exchange favoring reciprocity not only with the nations to the south of tho United States, but also with that on the north. THE ANTI-LOTTERY BILL. The House bill in relation to lotteries was reported from the post office committee and placed on the calendar, with a notification by Mr. Sawyer that he would ask for its con- sideration as soon as the tarifY bill is passed. Mr. Quay gave notice that he would ask the Senate on Saturday, the 13th, to consider reso- Intions relative to the death of Samuel J. Randall, . THE TARIFF BILL was then taken up and the sugar schedule was considered. Mr. Carlisle gave notice that he would move to strike out all the paragraphs relative to sugar bounties. Mr. Hale offered the reciprocity amendment, of which be had given notice on the 19th of Juno, and addressed the Senate upon it. The desirability of such an interchange of products as his amendment propesed, he said, had been asubject which had given rise to the closest attention and had resulted in grave and p nent suggestions from eminent public men of the United States during the last thirty years, Whoever had seen the gradual fallmg off of American trade with Central and South America and tho isles of the sen must have witnessed those conditions with the greatest impatience. The people of all those countries had a common interest with the people of the United States. Alluding to THE LATE PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS Mr. Hale said that it proved that the samecon- siderations which had their influence in the United States were also moving in the minds of the eminent men from the sister republics who took part in the proceedings of that con- gress, and that they pointed to one sure, in- evitable end—the increase of trade and eom- merce between the United States and those peoples. Those considerations, which applied to an extension of trade and an Increased in- terchange of products, applied not only to the nations of Central and South Amer: but to the islands of the Spanish Main. Mr. Hale re- terred to the reciprocity message of President Harrison and to Mr. Blaine’s letter and atti- tude in support of it. and to the increasing and carnest discussion of the subject; also to Mr. Frelinghuysen’s letter of December 11, 1834, transmitting the Foster treaty with Spain; also to a reciprocity resolution offered in the Sen- ate by Mr, Aldrich in December, 1886. and to a report of Mr. Abram S. Hewitt in the House of Representatives to carry into effect a conven- tion between the United States and Mexico, which showed that Mr. Hewitt was influencea by the same idea that now prevailed with a vast majority of the American peopl. NEVER UNTIL THIS YEAR had it been olaimed (said Mr. Hale) that any- body in public’or in private life, whe was on- gaged‘in an attempt to broaden the market for American farms atid -workshops in countries that were not rivals in the same products, was thereby opposing the xystem of protection to American labor. That had never been claimed until now. Mr. Hale quoted in support of his position (described as * protection ex- tended”) an article from the New York Tribune, aud he asked whether the disastrous experi- ment that had been tried in 1872, when the duty on coffee was removed, was to be now repeated in the article of sugar. He also read extracts from Mr. Iilaine’s two Ictters to Mr. Frye and commented upon the fact that while the balance of trade was very largely against the United States in many countries, the result was MUCH MORE FAVORABLE IN REGARD TO MEXICO, where American imports were nearly as large as the exports, This was largely (he because of the opening of railroad communica- tion with Mexico, and that fact boré on the neceasity for the passage of the steamship and postal subsidy bills, passed some weeks ago by the Senate. With the reciprocity proposed in his amendment and with these bills enacted into law the increased interchange of products would inevitably follow. He referred to the trade tables with Centrai and South America to show the unfavorable position of the United States in regard to those countries, and said that there was a sentiment among the people that something shouid be done to remedy that condition. That sentiment was growing into a movement that would have some effect some- where at some time. It was a s#ntimont which would not be effectually resisted. Coming direetly to ‘ ‘THE QUESTION OF PUTTING SUGAR ON THE FREE List Mr. Halo said that no one could tell what benefit would come to the consumer by the un- reserved repeal of the sugar duties, No ono could tell whether thé prices of sugar might j not be proportionately increased by the sugar- producing countries. against his amendm none of those su; which arrangen would be induced, und give to the United States such advantages as were set forth in it. ‘Lhe answer to that was plain and obvious, and that was that there was not one of those countries that did not greatly desire the repeal of American duties on the roduets. There was hardly one of them that ad not expressed its willingness to enter into pacieceal obligations and arrangements that would result in the direction indicated, Mr. Carlisle asked Mr, Halo whether his amendment applied to CUBA AND PoR7O Rito, Mr Hale replied that he had so intended it, and never had any other intention, and that if there was any danbt as to the construction that would be put upon it it might be modified 80 as to remove all doubt. Mr. Allen made inquiry as to whether Mr. Hale favored unlimited ‘reciprocity with the Argentine Republic—not only as to eugar, but as to wheat and wool and hides. Mr. Hale repiied that he was not consider- ing the question of wool and hides. The lim- itution on reciprocity would be a matter of It had been urged t incertain quarters that ‘ing countries with iprocity were desired any form of treaty, to arrangement, “He had not addressed bimselt to the subjects suggested by the Senator from Washington, He was speaking about 0 cal urrangements that would largely include articles in which there was no competition be- tween the United States and those ‘countries, As to articles in which there was competition the question would be one of negotiation. LETTER FROM A BRAZILIAN MERCHANT, Mr. Hale quoted a letter from 9 Brazilian merchant approving the idea of reciprocity and saying that Brazil was in a position to make Tuck reduction of duties that the roducts of America might enter Brazil ai Ritste lower | goes than the products of Euro Mr. Plumb inquired of M: of the results of reciprocity wotild not be stimulate the production of sugar id, if so, whether that would the PRODUCTION OF SUGAR IN THE UNITED STATES. Halo whether 3-4 in Brazil, be a stimulus to prod Mr, Manderson Brazil in relation owing to her desire to her ser interests tion of Europe and Rtates, Mr. Hale E as she was in fear of the cane sugar of Cuba and Porto Rico. the production of sugar in Brazil was declin- ing every year. ‘The increase in the produc- tion of BEET SUGAR IN GERMANY last year had been greater than the total prod- uct of sugar in the Island of Cuba, and it seemed to him that, in the natural course of things, the product of sugar in Brazil would not largely increase; and if that production were stimulated by the United States it would be at the expense of the sugar-growing indus- try of the United States, which would be one of the leading industries of the country. Mr. Aldrich remarked that the falling off in the product of sugar in Brazil was not owing to the beet sugar of Europe, but to the demor- alization in labor which followed the emanci- pation of the slaves. He had no doubt that the production of sugar would increase when there was a recovery from that condition of things, MR, HALE AGREED FULLY with Mr. Aldrich. He assured Senators who represented the sorghum and beet sugar dis- tricts that he was not in antagonism with them. If those Senators objected to the policy which he had so faintly outlined and supported—of trying to secure some benefits from those countries for the repeal of duties on their sugar—he asked them how much more they ought to ob- ject to ar unreserved repeal of those duties, It would be, he declared, a policy not much short of lunacy to repeal the sugar duties, unless the repeal was util.zed to obtain some benefits for the products of American labor. Mr. Plumb suggested that giving a bounty to American sugar producers might appear to Brazil as something lacking in the idea of reciprocity, Mr. Hale replied that if America should be- come (through the bounty given) a great sugar producing country no Senator need haye any apprehension as to what would follow. Ail those questions would be disposed of then and in a pleasant fashion. A “VERY PREGNANT POINT.” Mr. Evarts asked attention to what he called a “very pregnant point.” That was toa sen- tence in the letter from a Brazilian merchant which Mr, Hale had read, that sentence being: “We cannot admit your products and manu- factures free; but we will make a little diffe ence between the tariff on your importatio and the tariff of other nations.” What practi- cal results, Mr. Evarts asked, would come to the United States from only a little difference in favor of American products? Mr. Hale replied that that was a matter which time alone could tell. It was evident that the feeling not only of Brazil, but of the other South American countries, was strongly bent toward reciprocal arrangements, Ii WAS Easy, he said, to find fault with any plan or scheme and to suggest difficulties. Bnt to him one thing was as sure as the tides and the sunrise, and that was that the policy suggested by the President and the Secretary of State, and which had secured the attention and approval of the wisest statesmen in the last thirty years, was a policy that had come to stay with the- American people. Whatever might be dono now, whatever might be incor- porated in the pending bill, every enlightened man could see that that policy was going, sooner or later, to be adopted by the American people. There never, he suid. Was a time more fitted to try the plan, or experiment, than now, and, to his mind, the amendment which he had offered (to be corrected in its phrase- ology so as to remove all doubt about its con- struction) was the most fitting solution of the question. HIS AMENDMENT did not contemplate the repeal of the sugar duties until it could be scen where the country would be in regard to its finances and whether or not $55,000,000 of revenue could be dis- pensed with. He did not envy the fature of any party that took off taxes this year and (being comfronted with a deficit) obliged was to reimpose them next year. He did not, here and now, say@that that necessity would be met with, but. as a general proposition. it was true that no party could af- ford to stand before the people on a financial poliey that covered these two features—first, reduction of taxes, and then, in facv of a de- ficit, re-imposition of taxes, Mr. Hoar inquired whether the reciprocity was to be effected under treaties or under the tariff bill. WITHOUT TREATIES. Mr. Hale thought that it could be done with- out treaties. The principle, he said. was so vast, it carried so many things of importance to American industries in the future. it was so pregnant with importance, that all questions of the method of its application were insignificant in compari- Son with the great general question which all the amendments (his own, the one reported b: Mr. Aldrich and others) recognized wit unerring vision. He was willing to trust the President in the matter. Everybody who knew the President's attitude on the great question of protection to American labor might be sure that he would make no application of the pro- vision that would not in its results tend to the UPHOLDING AND ADVANCING OF AMERICAN LABOR, Looking at the whole thing as a matter of the future he was desirous and anxious that the principle of his amendment, taken in connection with the postal and steamship subsidy bills, should be adopted, And when these bills became law and the re- ciprocity amendment was adopted they would stand together as a leading and enduring monument of the wisdom and patriot- ism of the great party which had now for tho firsttime in yeurs control of all branches of the government. Mr. Kenna spoke at length on the general subject of the tariff. Protection to American industries, he said. hag been favored by the bencficiaries of that principle’ in one form or another since the foundation of the government. But the power has been gen- erally derived indirectly from THE GENERAL POWER OF TAXATION. Parties have been slow fo assert, as their rep- resentatives have been slow to exccute, a levy upon the earnings of the masses for the direct and avowed purpose of enriching a selected and favored ciass No tariff bill was ever passed upon that ground, Every tariff enactment to the beginning of the civil war was limited by the purpose to collect only cnough duties to support the government. No politi- cal platform ever ventured beyond this depth until in 1888 the republican party, confrouted by the syrplus accumulated under Cleveland's administration, coupled the idea of revision with a reduction of the revenue by the ex- clusion of foreign competition. While politi- cal platforms have not demanded the imposi- tion of atax upon the people for protection only the history of tariff enactments in theUnited States is instructive. As far back as 1868 the re- publican party declared that it was due “to the bor of the nation that taxation should be equal- ized and reduced as rapidly as the national iaith would permit.” It has redeemed that pledge, said Mr. Kenna, by inereasing the burdens of labor and production from that day to this, BY THE CENSvR OF 1860 the New England states, New York, Pennsylva- nin and New Jersey owned $4 per cont of the wealth of the country; in 1870 they owned more than 60 per cent. How long will it be, he asked, before those nine states, under this system, shall own the Union. ‘This in- crease of wealth gocs to the favored few. From 1870" to 18380 the value of farms, animals and farm implements in theso nine states fell off $517,000,000. The rates of duty demanded by the manufacturer were not estal ed to promote the inter- ests of labor, and the attempt to main- Sia them not emanate from the laboring population.
