Washington, March 28.?as Dr.
Talmagres seraons are published on
both sides the ocean, this discourse on
a subject of worldwide interest will
attract universal attention, uus xext
was Romans i, 14, "I am debtor both
to the G-reeks and. to the barbarians/'
At this time, when, that behemoth
of abominations, Mohammedanism,
after having gorged itself on the carcasses
of 100,000 Armenians, is trying
to put its paws upon one of the fairest J
of all nations, that of the Greeks, Ij
preach this sermon of sympathy and
protest, for every intelligent psrson j
on this side or the sea, as well as the
other side, like Paul, who wrote the
text, is debtor to the G-reeks. The
present crisis is emphasized by the j
guns of the allied povrers of Europe,
ready to be unlimbereJ against the !
Hellenes, and I am asked to speak out. j
Paul, with a master intellect of the j
ages, sat in brilliant Corinth, tne
cn-eot. A/>m.norinthns fortress fro~n
in2 from the heigh: o? 1,685 feet, and
in the house of Gaius, where he was
a guest, a big pile of money near him,
which "he was taking to Jerusalem for
the poor.
In this letter to the Romans, which
Chrysostom admires so much that he
had it read to him twice a weak, Paul
practically says: "I, the apostle, am
bankrupt, I owe what I cannot pay.
Due i will pay as .targe a pvrwauLgv as
I can. It is" an. obligation for ^ what
Greek literature ana Greek sculpture
and Greek architecture and Greek
prowess'have done for me. I will pay
all I can in installments of evangelism.
I am insolvent to the Greeks."
Hellas, as the inhabitants call it, or
Greece, as we call it, is insignificant
in size, about a third as large as the
state of .New York, but what it lacks
in breadth it makes up in height, with

Taygerus and Tymphrestus, each over
7,000 feet in elevation, and its Parnassus,
over 8,000. Just the country for
mighty men to be bom in, for in all
lands the most of she intellectual and
moral giants were not born on the
plain, but had for cradle the valley
between two mountains. That country,
no part of which is more than 40
miles from the sea, has made its impress
upon the world as no other nation,
and it today holds a first mortgage
of obligation upon all civilized
people. While we must leave to
statesmanship and diplomacy the settlement
of the intricate questions
wiiich now involve all Europe and indirectly
all nations, it is time for all
churches, all schools, all universities,
all arts, all literature, to scund out in
the most emphatic way tne declaration,
4'I am debtor to the Greeks."
In the first place, we owe to their
language our New Testament. All of
it was first written in Greek, except
the book of Matthew, and that, written
in A lancrus.^e. was
soon put into Greek by our Saviour's
brother James. To the Greek language
we owe the best sermon ever
preached, the best letters ever written,
the best visions ever kindled. All the
parables in Greek. All the miracles
in Greek. The ssrmon on the mount
in Greek. The story of Bethlehem
and Golgotha and Olivet and Jordan
banks and Galilean beaches and Pauline
embarkation and Pentecostal
tongues and seven trumpets that

in which maav of the cations

its thrilling importance, that

and Sophocles dramatized arid Plato
dialogued and Socrates discoursed and
Lycurgus legislated and Demosthenes
thundered his oration on "The
Crown?" Everlasting thanks to God
that the waters of life were not handed
to the wcrld in the unwashed cup
of corrupt languages from which nations
had been drinking, but in the
clean, bright, golden lipped, emerald
handled chalice of the Hellenes.
Learned Curtius wrote a whole volume
about the Greek verb. Phiiolo
gists century after century have been
measuring tie symmetry of that language,
laden wrtb. elegy and phillipic,
drama and comedy, ''Odyssey" and
4 'Iliad" but the grandest "thing that
Greek language ever accomplished
was to give to the world the benediction,
the comfort, the irradiation, the
salvation, of the gospel of the Son of
God. For that we are indebted to the
Greeks.
And while speaking of our philological
obligation let me call your a:
tention to the fact that many of the
intellectual and moral and theological
leaders of the ages got much of
their discipline and effectiveness from
Greek literature. It is popular to
scoff at the dead languages, but 50 per
cent, of the world's intellectuality
would have been taken off if through
learned institutions our young men
had not, under competent professors,
been drilled in Greek masterpieces,

traced back to Aristophanes, the
Athenian, and manv of the jocosities
that are new taken as new had their
suggestions 2,300 years ago in the 54
comedies of that master of merriment.
Grecian mythology has been the richest
mine from which orators and essayists
have drawn their illustrations and
painters the themes for their canvas,
and although. sovr an exhausted mine,
Grecian mythology has done a work
that nothing else could have acccm
plisnea. .Boreas, representing trie
north wind; Sisyphus, roiling the stone
up the hill, only to have the same
thing to do over again; Tantalus, with
fruits above him thai he could not

Icarus, with his waxen wings, Hying
too near the sun; the Centaurs, half
man and half beast; Orpheus, with

that could r-.ot appropriately employ !
Paul's ejaculation and say.4 'I am deo- >
tor to the Greeks."
The fact is this?Paul had get much
of his oratorical poorer of expression
from the Greeks. Thai he had studied
their literature was evident vrher:,
standing in the presence of an audience
of Greek scnolars on Mars hill,
winch overlooks Athens, he dared to
quote from one of their own Greek
voets, either Clean thus or Aratus, declaring,
"As certain also of your ovrn [
poets have said, 'For we are also his i
offspring.'*' And he made accurate!
quotation, Clean thus, one of the poets, j
navisg written:
For -?rc thine oHipriug arc. All things that j
creep ... !
i \ tV.o rt i.hp voles divine.
{
And Araths. one o' their own poets, i
had written :
Doth care perplex? Is lowering danger nigh?
We arc his offspring, and to Jove we fiy.
j It was rather a risky thing for Paul
j lo attempt to C[uote extemporaneously
from a poem in a language foreign to
| his and before Greek scholars, but j
j Paul did it without stammering and s
i then acknowledged before the most j
i distinguished audience on the planet |
j his indebtedness to the Greeks, crying: j
[ out in his oration. "As one of your
j own poets has said."
| Furthermore, ail the civilized world, j
j like Paul, is indebted to the Greeks for
architecture. The vrorid before the j
time of the Greeks had built monoliths]
i obelisks, cromlechs, sphinxes and ]
j pyramids, but they were mostlyf
f monumental to the dead whom they j
; failed to memorialize. We are not I
- r ^ ? a? irt S
j certain even 01 tae uamw
| whose commemoration the pyramids I
| were built. Bat Greek architecture
did most for living. Ignoring Egvp- j
tian precedents and borrowing noth-1
| ing from other nations, Greek architec-1
; rare carved its own columns, set its }
| own pediments, adjusted its own enta-1

! and carried out as never before the j
| three qualities of right building, called ?
by an old author *'nrinitas, utilitas, J
| venustas'?namely, firmness, useful* {
| ness, beauty. Although the Parthe- j
j non on the Acropolis of Athens is only j
! a wreck of the storms a ad earthquakes j
J and bombardment of many centuries, |
{and although Lara Elgin took from j
! one side of that building, at an ex-j
S pense of $250,000, two shiploads of j
j sculpture, one shipload going down in !
j the Mediterranean and the other ship- j
E load now to be found in the British j
| museum, the Parthenon, though in {,<
comparative ruins, has been an inspira- j;
tion to all architects for centuries past:
and will be an inspiration all the time j,
from now until the world itself is a j
tempie of ruin. Oh, that Parthenon!j;
One never gets over having once seen I;
it. But what must it have been when j
it stood as its architects, Ikitncs and J,
Kaliikrates, built it out of Pentelican
marble, white as Mont Blane at noon- {
? tt? i
[ day and as overwhelming. .0.01^1. s
J above hight. 0 rertopping the august
I and majestic pile and rising from its j
t roof was a statute of Pallas Promachus j
j in bronze, so tall and flashing that j;
j sailors far out at sea behold the plume
j of her Lelment. Without the aid of
J the eternal God it never could have !
j been planned, and without the aid of
; God the chisels and trowels never ,
I could have constructed it. There is ,
j not a fine church building in all the
j world, or a properly constructed court
! house, or a beautiful art gallery, or an i
! appropriate auditorium, or a tasteful j i
i home, which, because of that Par the-1
! son, whsther its style or some other S
style be adopted, is not directly or in
| directly a debtor to the Greeks.
But there is another art in my mind j
| ?the most fascinating, elevating and 1
inspiring of ail arts and the nearest to 1
1 the divine?for which all the world j
owes a debt to the Hellenes that will j
never be paid. I mean sculpture. At j
| least 650 years before Christine Greeks jj
f perpetuated the human face and form j
! in terra cotta and marble. What a j
i blessing to tne human family that menj
| and women, mightily useful, who j
} could live only within a century may j
( b* -narnetuated for five or six or ten j
i centuries! How I wish that sortie
sculptor contemporaneous with Christ
_ could have put "his matchless form in
| marble! But for every grand exqui- |
j site statue of Martin Luther, of John 1
[ Knox, of William Penn, of Thomas
i Chalmers, of Wiliington, of Lafayette
j of any of the great statesmen or emancipators
or conquerors who adorn i
your parks or fill the niches of your |
academies, you are debtors to the
Greeks. They covered the Acropolis, |
they glorified the temples, they j
adorned the cemeteries with statues, |
! some in cedar, some in ivory, some in s
| silver, some in gold, same in size dim- s
| inutive and some in size colosal.!
| Thanks to Phidias, who worked in
i stone; to Clearchus, who worked in
| bronze; to Dontas. who worked in
| gold, and to all ancient chisels of comj
memoration. Do you not realize that {
i for many of the wonders of sculpture I
we are debtors to the Greeds? _ j
] Yea, for the science of medicine, the j
j great art of healing, we must thank (
) the Greeks. There is the immortal
j fcrree# doctor, Hippocrates, wuu jurat. t
opened the door for disease to go out I
i and health to come in. He first set j
j forth the importance of cleanliness I
j and sleep, making the patient before j
I treatment to be washed and take slum- j
I ber on the hide of a sacrificed beast. |
j He first discovered the importance of j
j thorough prognosis and diagnosis. \
j He formulated the famous oath of j
j Hippocrates which is taken by physi- j
j cians of our day. He emancipated
< mpnif-'rif- from suoerstiiion, empiri-1
cism and priestcraft. He was the >
I father of all the infirmaries, hospitals }
| and medical colleges of the last 23 ;
I centuries. Ancien: medicament and j
j surgery had before that been anatomi- j
cai and physiological assault and bat- j
tery, and iong after the time of Hip-;
pocrates, the Greek doctor, where his
theories were not known, the Bible j
speaks of fatal medical treatment j
when it says, "In his disease he
j sought not the Lord, not to the physi-1
- - - * * ?- i - jy S
clans, and. Asa slept w:ia ius laiuers. ?
And we read in the New Testament of j
the peer woman who had been treated j
by incompetent doctors, who asked j
Iar?e fees, where it says, "She had t
suffered many things of many physi-j
cians and had spent all that she had \
and was nothing better, but rather |
grew worse." For our glorious science
of raedicins and surgery?mora sub- j
lime than astronomy, for vre have j
more to do with disease than with the |
stars: more beautiful than botany, for <
bloom of health in the cheek of wife j
and child is worth more to us than ail j
loot. tlio rro-rnor foT f rMS I

i Healing, every pil:'Gw of recovered in- j

i "Thank God for old Dr. Hippocrates. I
I, like Paul, am indebted to the
Greeks."
Furthermore, all the world is obli- {
gated to Hellas mere than it can everj
pay for its heroics in the cause of lib- j
erty and right. United Europe today
had no: better think tftat the Greeks
will no: fight. There may be fallings

At that time, in Greek council of war, j
five generals were icr beginning tae i
battle ad five were against the Calii- i
machus presided at the council cf war, |
had the deciding vote, and ililtiades j
addressed him say'n*:

were they in such danger as they are
in at this moment. If they bow tiio
knee to these Medes, they are to be
given up lo Hippias. and you know
wkat they will then have to suffer,
but if Athens comes victorious out of
this contest she has it in her power to
become the first city of Greece. Your
vote is to decide whether we are to j
join battle or not. If we do not bring |
on a battle presently, seme factious!
intrip-uo will units the Athenians, and !
the city will be betrayed to the Medes, j
but if "we fight before there is any- i
thing rotten in the state of Athens I
believe that, provided the gods will
give fair field and no favor, we are
able to get ihe best of is in the engagement."
That won the vote of Caliimacnus,
and soon the battle opened, and in
full run the men of Miltiades fell upon
the Persian hosts, shouting: "On
sons of Greece! Strike for the freedom
of your country! Strike for the
freedom of your children and your
wives, for the shrines cf your fathers'

6,400 Persians lay dead upon the field, |
and many of the Asiatic hosts who j
took to the war vessels in the harbor
were consumed in the shipping. Per- j
sian oppression was rebuked, Grecian j
liberty was achieved, the cause of civilization
was advanced, and the westem
world and all nations have felt
the heroics. Had there been no Mil- j
tiades there might have been no

Also at Thermopylae 300 G-resks, \
along a road only wide enough for a j
wheel track between a mountain and
a marsh, died rather than surrender.
Had there been no Thermopylae there J
might have been no Bunker Hill. The j
echo of Athenian and Spartan heroics
was heard at the gates of Lucknow, {
and Sevastopol, and Bannockbum,:
and Lexington, and Gettysburg, English
Magna Cnarta, and Declaration
of American Independence, and the
song of Kobert Burns, entitled "A
Man's a Man for All That," were only
the long continued reverberation of
what was said and done 20 centuries
before in that little kingdom that the j
powers of Europe are now imposing j
upon. Greece having again and again i
shown that 10 men in the right arc
stronger ;*n 100 men in the wrong,
the heroi of Leonidas and Aristides j
and Them tccles will not cease their
mission u :1 the last man on earth is j
as free as od made him. There is
not on eit rsiaeu* me w.
day a republic that cannot truthfully 1
employ the words of the text and say, j
"I am debtor to the Greeks

tion, How can we pay that debfor a

than 10 per cent of that debt in which

Let us reseat to them in English what

who are persecuted for righteousness' .
sake, for theirs is the kingdom of j
heaven."
Another way of partly paying our t
debt to the Greeks is by higher appreciation
of the learning and self sacrifice
of the men who in our own land
stand for all that the ancient Greeks
stood. While here and there one j
comes t j public approval and reward j
the most of them live in privation or j
on saiarv disgracefully small. The j
scholars, the archaeologists, the ar- j
tists, the literati?most of them live up !
three or four flights of stairs and by j
small windows that do not let in the;
full sunlight. You pass them every
day in your streets without any recognition.
Grrub street, where many of j
the mighty men of the past suffered,
is long enough to reach around the
world. No need of wasting our sympathy
upon the unappreciated thinkers
and workers of the past, though
JLinnaeous soia a is wyr^s a aiu^x-.
ducat, though. Noah Webster's spell- j
ing book yielded him more than .his
dictionary, though Correggio, the
great painter, receiving for long continued
work payment of $39, died
from overjoy; though when Goldsmith's
friends visited him they were !
obliged to sit in the window," as
he had but one chair; though Samuel
Boyse, the great poet, starved to death;
though the auihor of "Hudibras" died
in a garrot, though "Paradise Lost1'
brought its author only *25 cash
down, with promise of ?50 more if [
the sale warranted it, so that $75 was J
ail that was paid for what is consider- j
ed the greatest poem ever written, j
Better turn our attention to the fact j
that there are at this moment hundreds
of authors, painters, sculptors, j
architects, brain workers, without
bread and without fuel and without
competent apparel. As far as you j

reach their books, purchase their]
pictures, eccourage their pen, j
iheir pencil, their chisel, their j
engraver's knife, their architect's j
compass. The -world ' calls them j
"bookworms" or "Dr. Dryasdust," but
if there had been no bookworms or
dry doctors of law and science and j
theelogy there would have been no |
Apocalyptic angel. They are the j
G-reeks of our country and time, and I
your obligation to them is infinite. j
But there is a better way 10 nay j
them, and that is by their personal sal- i
vation, which will never come to
thera through books or through learned
presentation, because in literature
and intellectual realms they are masr><s-n

Demosthenic el*ounce and Homeric
imagery would I'ail a kindly hear: j
throb may succeed. A gentleman of j
this city sends me the statement of i
what occuried a few days ago among
the mines of British Columbia. It
seems that Frank Conson and Jem
Smith were down in the narrow shaft
of a mine. They had loaded an iron
bucket with coal, and Jim Hemsworth,
standing above ground, was
hauling the bucket up by windlass, j
when the windlass broke, and the
loaded bucket was descending upon
the two miners. Then Jim Hemsworth,
seeing what must be certain
death to the miners beneath, threw
himself against the cogs, of the whirling
windlass, and though his liesh
vras torn and his bones were broken
he stopped the whirling windlass and
arrested the descending bucket and i
saved the lives of the two miners be
neath. The superintendent of the
mine flew to the rescue and blocked
tne machinery. When. Jim Hemsworth's
bleeding and broken body
was put on a litter and carried home
ward and some one exclaimed, "Jim, j
this is awful f' he replied, "Oh, what's !
the difference so long aj; I saved the j
boys?"
What an illustration it was of suffering
for others, ani what a text
from which to illustrate' the behavior
of our Christ, limping and lacerated
and broken and torn and crushed in
the work of stopping the descending
ruin that would have destroyed our
souls! Try such a sc?n2 of vicarious
suffering as this on thai man capable
of overthrowing all your arguments
for the truth, and he will sit down
and weep. Draw your illustrations
from the classics, and it is to him an
old story, but Layaen jars and elec

of Jim Hemsworth's "Oh, what's the

Hard Timea and Temperanca.
Cina nf t>ip nnt.aWfi effects of the hard i
times which we have been going j
through for several years past is to bo
found in the reduced consumption of !
intoxicatants. It is claimed by the
bicycle enthusiasts that the increasing
use of bicycles has conducted
largely to this result but the Ameri- j
can Grocer says the ' 'hard times have I
contributed to a notable diminution j
in the use of all kinds of beverages? j
particularly spirits." The Grocer,
shows by figures that "the consump- J
of alenholie stimulants has not j
increased, while the use of the milder
beverages has barely been steady."
The facts which lead up to this conclusion
are interesting. In 1392 and
1893 the consumption of spirits per
citizen was 1? gallons, of wine nearly
half a gallon, of beer 15 gallons, while
in 1896 the average consumption of
spirits was but one gallon, of wines
one quart and of beer 15 gallons.
The American Grocer does not con- j
s:der that the increase of the whiskey j
tax from 90 cents to 81.10 has had anv!
in tin': rice in reducing the consumption
of spirits. The official reports
show thai our 71,2(53,000 people in
1S96 consumed 71,051,877 gallons of
spirits,'or no more than 58,6S0,000
people consumed in 18S7. As about
11,000,000 gallons of spirits a^e annually
usee in manufactures, according
to The Grocer, the quantity actually
used as a beverage is about 60,000,000
iu.a.a.0 oxauj uaxxxA.0
out of a gallon, and get at the lowest
calculation about $J.-.50 for it. The
nation's whiskey bill in 1896 was,
therefore, $270,000,000, as against
?400,000,000 in 1S93, when the consumption
was 101,300,000 gallons.
The government los'; ?14,000 of revenue
by the decreased consumption.
The drinking of beer has increased
very largely in this country during
the oast 20 years. The consumption
per citizen 20 years age was but six
and a half gallons, as against fifteen
gallons in iS96. The total consumption
o? beer in 1S96 was 1,CS0,626,165
jrallons. on which the government received
a revenue of $33,139,141. The
aggregate amount of the national
beer bill is estimated at ?541,963,343.
Wine is little used by cur people. In
1SS7 we produced 27.706.000 gallons
and imported 4,618,000 gallons, where
as in 1896 we produced but 14,599,000
gallons and imported 4,101,000 gallons
?a large decrease. The nation's bill J
for wiLe in 1896 was $49,730,000. The j
total cost of cur alcoholic beverages in
that year the Grocer places at $861,693,S32,
some 140,000,000 less than in
1S92.
There has been a marked falling (iff
in the per capita consumption of coffee.
In. 1396 the people it is estimated,
drank ?62,OSS,692 gallons of coffee,
made from 481,044,346 pounds of tae
berries and costing $120,261,086. The
average consumption was 9.61 pounds
in 1892 and 8.04 pounds in 1896. Of
tea the consumption in the latter year
is placed at 466,701,000 gallons, made
from 93.340,000 pounds of tea import
ed at a retail cost of $31,171,432. Cocoa
was imported to the extent of s
$2,630,900 worth, much of which was
used fcr confectionery. The aggregate
drink bill of the nation, a^conolic
and non-slcoholic, is figured at ?1,010,125
000, or ?14.31 per citizen. The
American Grocer is convinced that
prosperity increases the use of stimulating
and intoxicating drin/cs as it
does oi all other luxuries.

[CONTINUED FR03I PAGE ONE].
j io assume that there are no real invest!
merits in agricultural pursuits, or
j that agricultural laborers are a proI
duct cf the soil, and that the chief
i mission of both is to conserve the in
| teresis of manufacturers and money.
| Upon tb.^se agricultural lands stand
; the foundations of our Republic, and
! the people who cultivate them consti|
lute a law-abiding:, hard-working,
economizing, prudent and tazpaying
! portion of o^r citizens, whose rights
should be recognized and whose
| wrongs must be remedied.
This bill discriminates against the
; raw products of the section which I
in Dart renresnt. and I shall under
take to point our its inequalities and
demand fair play. In fact, this discrimination
does not stop with the
manufacturer of the East, butextends
to the products of raw material in the
West. This condition is the result no
doubt of a vigorous contest on the
part of the Western agriculturists for
a reciprocity of these privileges, while
the South was made the victim Decause
of the demand on the
part of her representatives for free
raw materials. In this respect the
South has been considered fair game
for the balance of the country and
plundered as a consequence at every
turn. I will cite a lew flagrant in* j
stances of this character. Our navy
needed a coaling station in the Pacific
Owfln and nnp. was secured in Hawaii.
Did our Government >ay for it iu
mon8y? Xo, indeed. It simply gave
Hawaii the privilege of importing raw
products free into this country And
what were these products? Sugar,
rice, bananas. eLc., all of which were
produced only in the South.
To such an extent has this been
carried that Senator Sherman declared
we had paid $18,000,000 for a miserable
little coaling station; while the i
late Senator Dolph stated that a fair
duty upon ail imports irom Jiawaii;
would have paid $12 for every acre of I
land in these* islands. The South has
been asking for free raw materials, I
and here is a case in point where its j
request was granted ? 400,000,000
pounds of sugar and 5,000,000 pounds j
of rice came into this country last
year duty free from Hawaii. Does
anyone imagine that a tenth part of
this amount either in wheat, corn, !
cloth or other manufactured articles, .
could have been imported in this man- J
ner without a loud protest from theEast [

terial and were in consequence barred ;
from making any objections.
RIC3 COMPARED WITH KAY.
I will take the Southern product of *
rice in this connection and compare it ]
with the Northern product of hay and |
?L-t. mu:. v^v.^^5,, J
UUU^LU'Cd. JLJdUS WUUbij V/V4.UU'U -iJJL
1895 297,237,370 bushels of potatoes \
and imported 127,976 bushels. It produced
the same year 47,078,541 tons
of hay and iraported 24.7,897 j
tons. The per cent of imports on ]
productions is almost too small for *
calculation, being: about one half of 1
per cent, In 1895 we produced 168,665,440
pounds of rice and imported j,
219,564,320 pounds. In other words, J
we imported 50,8S9,S80 pounds more j
rice than was produced in the entire H
South. We find potatoes protected I'
by a duty of 25 cents per bushel, and 1'
hay $4 per ton, while Southern rice, ^
receives but li cents per pound. This)(
1 A ~ C Z I (
unequal jj'cr cent* UI iiupuxuiuiuii.
conclusively a want of reciprocity in 1
tariff duties upon these products. *
There are millions of acres in the '
South that will produce rice if it can 1
be made remunerative. (
SUGAR AND CORN COMPARED.
Following out this idea I will com- ,
pare the sugar -with the corn of the ,
North and West. Under the present j
bill corn is protected by a duty of 15 <
cents per bushe], and 20 per cent ad J
valorem under the Wilson bill of ,
1893. ' - .
In 1895 the corn crop amounted to *
1,212,779,052 bushels with imports (
amounting to 16,575 bushels. One j
small train load of corn would repre- }
sent the total imports lor 1S95. In s
1894. with four hundred million more ?
corn produced, the imports were only j \
2,000 bushels. } (
Comparatively speaking the imports ((
of corn amounted to nothing. j (
During the year 1895 there was pro- j ,
duced 729,392,561 pounds of cane '
suggarand 37,617,076 gallons of mo- ]
lasses. During that year 3,574 510.- ,
454 pounds of sugar and 15,075,S79 |
gallon? of molasses was imported. .
The duty on sugar is 40 per j
cent ad valorem, and on molasses j
from 2 to 4 cents per gallon. <
In this case there was five times as j
much sugar imported as produced,and <
nearly one-half as much molasses.
I shall not attempt to go into details (
or bring forward any theories in. con- j j
aeciion with this comparison, butsim-j {
ply say that there is something radi-1 (
caiJy wrong as this showing discloses j j
and the burden as usual falls upon the
South. When, cn the one hand, we j
find no corn being imported, and on j ]
at- - ? ?"u a a? i .
tee oilier .mure taau ? auo;o v/i {j
sending their sugar to our shores the j}
conclusion must force itself upon I)
everyone that a grave injustice is j,
ing perpetrated, and a fair reciprocity 11
does not exist. If raw sugar received
the same fostering care from the government
as the manufacturers cf New
England it would require but a few ,
years for the South to produce all the j :
sugar we consume. But the present j'
bill by means of its differential duty j1
largely favors the refiners at the ex- j"
pense of the producers. j j
Mr. Speaker, is it not time for some ,
representative from the Cotton States .
1 ii - a e it-;- XT 1 J
to stana on lub uour ui llus uuusoauu
defend the interests of the cotton ;
planter? Should not a reciprocity of "
protection for his toil be demanded?
Why should the wheat grower ba pro
tected against his near neighbor, and '
the cotton planter left to be plunder- *
ea by the whole world? In my opin- ,
ion it is an outrage and should no
longer be permitted. The amendments '
which I will propose, placing a duty j f
of 2? cents per pound on all imported ;
cottori, and 2 cents per pound on uncleaned
rica, are but simple justice to
the South.
If you decline to accept my amend -! ;
meat for a duty on raw cotton, then
you should, in justice, strike out from
this bill all duties on the manufactured
article. This would reduce the price: ,
of cotton eoods and thereby increase
their consumption, and as a result the 1
prica of raw cotton would be increas- \
ed by reason of increased demand.
The profits of th3 manufacturer are 1
enhanced just as much by free raw *
material as by high duty on the fin- *
ished product. But, Mr. Speaker, I \
have seen enough and heard enough' \
in she committee room and elsewhere 1
to know that no duty will be jiraposed | *
? -i* vTrr?n !/{ in- ! ^

crease at least the price of long staple s
and thereDj lessen the profits of the ;
New England mills. The mills using .l
this cotton are situated entirely in ;
New England. The people producing :
this cotton are in the South. This i3
quite suilicient to outweigh argument
and justice.
COTTON PLANTER PLUNDERED. ; 1
i will make but one more compari- j c
son, and ihat between wheat and cot- j \
ton, tlie two great money crops ci j
this country. In 1395 the wheat crop I
amounted to 460,267,416 bushels, while i
the imports that year vras 1.433,299 I
J
bushels.
The amount of cotton produced in
-son:: ? - - - AO!? OiT- -f.'iA ~ v-.-?.- Tl-Q !
wtvs o Uv>y,.7vi(yv.7 younua, i
imporls of cough during" the same
\ear was 49.332.022 pounds- It will j
be seen that the per cent of imports in
wheat was only about one-third of the
per cent of imports in cotton. The
McKinley bill or 1890 gave wheat a
protection of 25 cents per bushel, and
the Wilson bilJ of 1893 20 per cent ad
valorem. It is hardly necessary for
me to say that cotton is and has been
on. the fres list. While the importation
of wheat does net seem to increase,
the imports.of cotton are mak
in? rapid sli-ides.
While the bulk of wheat importation
comes from Canada and British
Columbia, no less than fifteen different
countries are sending raw cotton
to our shores. The imports of raw
cotton have increased from 3,924.531
pounds in 1SS7 to 55,350,520 pounds
in 1SS6. It is a mistake to assume that
all the cotton imported is long staple.
Out of the imports of 1896 but 43,574,7(50
pounds came from E*ypt, leaving
nearly tvrelve million pounds to oe
e-?>-r>f or* Tf" is cofe=! trt
infer that all of this is not long staple
cotton. Just how much is short staple
I have been unable to ascertain. Be
the amount what it will, it is a danger
signal that should not remain unnoticed
.
SOUTH ASKS JUSTICE OXXiY.
Mr. Speaker,the people of the South
are entitled to this consideration.
They have the ri^ht to demand equal
and exact justice with other sections
at the hands of Congress. It is unfair,
unwise and Un-American to compel
them to bear more than their share of
the burdens of government. This importation
of raw cotton strikes at the
very vitals oi trie one great; industry j
of the South. It is a standing menace
to the cotton planter which but few
seem to realize. Fifty five million
pounds of cotton is not far from 120,000
bales. This represents the product .
of nearly, if not quite, 20,000 average
farms. It also represents the income 1
of mor3 than 100,000 of the people of .
my section. If the manufacturers of
the East and the farmers of the West ;
are to be protected against the pauper :
labor of other countries, have not the
people of the South a right to demand
a similar safeguard? Is it fair to ask 1
Liie people of tn? aoutn to suomit to ;
certain conditions which the East and :
the West refuse to endure? X have made
no distinction in regard to the
different kinds of cottoD, since they '
ire all affected by these imports. It j
by reason of this duty long; staple cot- ton
should be excluded, much of the J
land now used in producing short staple
would be used in producing the *
long staple. This would lessen the '
nop of short staple and increase its J
price. In this indirect manner the \
grower of short staple would be bene- k
ited. It is assumed by some that these ?
iuties on wheat, corn, oats, barley \
md other product? of the North and i
West does not increase their price. J
if that be true, why are these duties *
.mposed? Are such duties placed up- [
)n the statute books to deceive? Are J
;hey intended as bribes to the North- 1
:rn and Western farmers from the
;unnicg manufacturers of New Eag&nd,
Mr.
Speaker,if the duties upon agri- }
:uitural products of the North ana }
F7est should be eliminated from this 2
Dill it would be voted down, by this s
EEouse. I am led to believe that the f
lisasters that overtook the wool grow- j
;rs because of the Wilson bill, which [
nade his product a free raw material, g
.ogether with the promise of a proiec- c
,ive duty by the .Republican party, 2
*as one of the potent factors which
compassed the defeat of the Demo;ratic
party in the late election.
THa TvrvW wmtcprnf f.fcft Wpst is nai- S
lraliv with us on the paramount issue
ind. the tiaie is not far ^i- at, when ^
ae will repudiate the miserable "see- ?
aw" sophistry that this bill discloses, *
)f legislating higher prices by a tariff, e
ma forcing lower prices with a single
;old standard ;he will then unite with c
;he other producers of raw material in 1
iriving you from place and poorer. If 1
;he agricultural products of tae North
ind West are to be favored by nation- 1
il legislation, in the name of justice .
md fear dealing, let the agricultural *
products of the South receive similar *
jonsideration. Let the statute books
jf our country disclose a record of 1
'quality and reciprocity to all sections
