Because it is not that class of sugar that goes upon your tables. If you want cheap sugar. then reduce the duty on the article that the refiner turns out. if you are compelled to buy in competition with the refiners of other countries. and do not put the producer in Louisiana. the colored laborer in Louisiana. against the slave or cooly labor of the thirtyone West India Islands and dependencies. It you are going to discriminate in favor of one or the other. then discriminate in thvor of the producer against the refiner. and put the American refiner against the refiner of the West India Islands. and not the producer of Louisiana against the producer of the West India Islands backed by his horde of coolies and slaves to whom lie pays only a sliming or 20 cents a day for labor and maintenance. when the Louisiana planter pays from 85 cents to $1.25 per day for labor and maintenance. Do not diseriminuate against the producer nod in fivor of the West Inldia. planter when there is at practical prohibition upon the sale of American articles in those islands and dependencies. Why. sir. you can not find $50.000 worth of American merchandise or supplies today in those islands. no matter what it may be. liquor. staves. pork. flour. imeal]. machinery. clothing. bacon. oils. whatever you please. anything going from this country to any of the West India Islands. where they grow sugar to compete with the producer of Louisiana. while the producer of Louisiana. as I showed last night. will expenIfthis year many millions in purchasing machinery from New York.
