Make* a Hot Speech and Flours All Opponents?Present Protection Is One Sided ami Hobs the Farmer?He Now Sells In a Cheat* end Ituy* In a Dear Market?Can He Protected Only by Kxport Hountles on Farm Products?If He Cannot Oct These lie Wants Absolute Free Trade. Senator Cannon of Utah introduced on May 25 an amoudment to the tariff bill which is likely to make tronbie for the Republican leaders and which may j break down the whole protective) system. The amendment favors the Labin scheme of paying export bounties on , farm products. This scheme is now being poshed vigorously, not enly by its author, David Lubin, but also by the granges of mouv states aud by tradee . unions and ministers. It makes its fight iusido the ranks of protection and has I already opened nioro farmers' eyes to the folly of the system than nil of the tariff reform work thut has been dona Senator Cannon told sonic plain truths when introducing this amendment. He spoke in part as follows: It was with great surprise, upon an examination of the measure, that I found ' that the/great class of onr population ! who have from tho beginning not only j supported tho protective tariff party by their votos, but have supported tho protective tariff principle by their industry , from tho beginning of its operation, were in a large degree excluded from auy of its benefits. It is, I say, to supply a very patent omission from tho i measure as it now stands thut the amendment is proposed aud will bo ad- ; vocated here until a vote shall be had ; thereon. ii The bill as it is offered today affords do protection to agricultural staples. | There is remaining, I presume, no advocate of the protective tariff system ; i who will contend that in this bill, with these import duties, there is afforded ; any protection or benefit of increased-1 price arising from import duties upon any of those commodities of which we j i export our surplus, nor are there re- 11 maining at the present time in the . 1 school of protection very many men i who will contend aDd none who will !, prove that the indirect protection afford- |< ed to the farmer by the tariff on man- ( ufactnred poods is sufficient compensation to him for the vast cost entailed I, upon bim in carrying the protective tariff system upon manufactured goods. It has become apparent to all thought- j i ful observers, and certainly it is known to all who have any direct connection j with the agricultural industry of the j United States, that the farmer cannot, I and the man who reads him well knows that the farmer will not, innch longer bear this burden. There arc tbreo remedies possible. The second remedy, and one which I, as a believer in protection, would be I ready to accept rather than to bold to : and vote for au iueqaitable bill, woo Id \ be absolute free trade, by which tbe farmer might boy as cheaply as he is compelled to sell, and that remedy this ; j oongress will not 6eek to eoforca There remains, then, bnt tbe third?tbe appli- j cation of an export bounty which shall ,, in a measure give restitution to tbe j farmer for the higher prices which he is ; compelled to pay in protected markets. | No proposition based upon the decla- 1 ration of equal protection to all the industries of the United States is com- < plete, nor can there be successfully ; made a contention that it is just, unless it gives to the exporter of agricultural staples from the United States an equivalent benelit to that given to tbe manufacturer by the imposition of an import duty. A duty of 25 cents a bushel upon wheat is a delusion and a snare. The farmer of the United States gets no benefit from it Tbo imposition of duty upon cotton, if that were attempted, would be of no value to the cotton producer. The imposition of a duty on rye is of no value to tbe farmer of tbe United States. ' Every other protected industry has a direct benefit from this tariff, because where we do not produoe in the Uuited : States sufficient for our own consmnp- j tion and a quantity considerable in ex- | tent for export the import duty serves I as a means whereby the local producer can enhance the price to the local consumer. Tbe immediate benefit to tbe farmer derived from the treasury of the United States would not be all. For this com- I paratively small expenditure to him he ! would receive for these staples more than $225,000,000 in higher priqes than be now receives. It is true that this would increase the price of breadstuffs to the consumers in the cities, but under the declaration made here today that with higher prices the people will be more able to buy we will have a larger consumption of wheat and wheat flour and ether agricultural staples in the cities of tbo country than we have now at the low prices. Mr. Butler?Mr. President, the sena- ] tor from Utah said he was in favor of about $18,000,000 export duty on wheat at 10 cents a bushel. If we pay an ex- | port bounty of 10 cents a bushel, that will raise the price of every bushel of wheat, whether exported or consumed at home, that much, will it not? Mr. Cannon?Certainly it will. Mr. Butler?Then, for an investment of $13,000,000, which the government would payout in the shape of an export j bounty, the wheat farmers of the conntry would get their protection of $00,- i 000,000 or $70,000,000, would they not? Mr. Cannon?They would, if there be any truth in the protective principle. Mr. Butler?That would bo a very good investment. Mr. Cannon?It wonld be a very good investment if it were to be made in behalf of any manufacturing industry or , any trust in the United States, bat any- j thing in behalf of tho farmer is looked V : ' ; rvT5" t' \ opoii with prom and is considered a ] doubtful investment by the legislature j of the United States. In addition, Mr. President, it is a very poor argument, when yon have bceu robbing some man for years and ho asks you for justice, to say tbut you propose to continue to rob him of more find say that you do not know where 5on r,ro going to get the money with which to restore that which you have unrighteously takeu. It is tlio very first duty of the congress of the United States to provide a bill which shall not only bo honest in its present application. but which shall r>ay back some portion of tbut which has been taken j from i he pockets of the toilers of this j land. I have talked with tho farmers iD 20 states of the Union since last fall, and 1 firmly believe that this tariff will no longer endure than until the farmers of the United States can have n chance to revise it at tho polls, if you do not givo to them some portion of its benefits. The fanueT is bending beneath a burden which ho cannot carry longer. He has been tho backbone of the integrity of the United States, but there comes in the place of the free and independent farmer of this country a race of tenantry to reap servilely where he sowed nobly, men who receive their opinions from others instead of giving their own independent voice at the polls and in all their declarations to their fellow men. The senate of the United Statn can afford to be absolutely just I believe the amendment should bo adopted. Mr. Chandler?May I usk the senator from Utah a question? Mr. Cannon?Certainly. Mr. Chandler?I beard the senator Bpeak of robbery a little while ago with reference to the tariff. Does the scuator mean that the farmer has been robbed all these years by the tariff? Is that the senator's argument? Mr. Cannon?Yes, sir, decidedly. Mr. Chandler?Wnen did the senator Gist think that the American tariff system was a robbery of the farmer? Mr. Cannon?Just so soon as the senator gave sufficient attention to tho subject to understaud the truth of it. I advocated Republican tariffs as earnestly and as faithfully in my bumble way as (be senator from New Hampshire, and I believed exactly what I taught But I am riot di sposed any longer to advocate a system by which one portion of the population in taxed for the benefit of auother portion of the population. I think thnt it is unfair to cherish only one clues, and that the class which has already the most power of self protection. If the senator from New Hampshire w:ill go across the plains of Kansas, as 1 have pone, and across the plains of Nebraska. I believe in bim sufficiently to think be will come back and say that this bill is robbery of the American farmer. I have stated that I am in favor of a protective tariff system. I stated that in the guilelessness of my soul, being a Republican, I went out and advocated tho Republican idea of a protective tariff. I never was brought quite so close to responsibility concerning it before as I am today. Heretofore .[ have discussed it on the stump, advocating it in general terms, bnt us soon as I am confronted with responsibility which obliges me to look more closely into its application to all tho people I am simply discharging my duty when I ?eek to amend this measure so that it shall be honest to all. The Monkey and the Cats. %?" The monkey could pull its own sugar out of the fire, but prefers to use tho paws of the cats. Poor cats, how it must hurt them I Yes, it does hurt them a little, but they con stand it for the sake of their good friend the mon> key. Perhups they will get a share of the sugar, or if not :hat sometbiug else which they like bettor. Perhaps! It is certain that tbey have long been fast friends of the monkey and that they like him for bis sly and cunning tricks. Republican Criticism of Taxed Hides. Accordiug to the protective theory the imposition of a tax on uoncompeting articles adds to their cost teethe consumer. This theory would be aptly exemplified in the proposed duties on bides, as the people would be compelled to pay more for their footwear. It is estimated that the increased cost of boots and shoes for one year under the proposed dnty would amount to $20,000,000. With free hides our manufacturers of leather goods have been able to build up a great export trade in footwear. As Mr. Blaine baid when it was proposed to put a duty on hides in the law of 1800, "It will yield a profit to the butcher only?the last man that needs it." The interests of the tanners and shoe manufacturers are vastly more important than the interests of bntcbers and western ranchmen.?Chicago Times-Herald, Republican. Of No Consequence. The brewers are good campaign contributors. Therefore thoy are to be excused from their proper i hare of taxes. ; The wearers of clothes are of no partio- | ular account to the Mark Hannas of our i time. Why shouldn't they and the con- ! suniers of sugar and shoes be made to bear the whole burden??World. ? Same Place, fi "2"E. ,T.
