L'st Wednesday ct Goshen, Ind, stated
that Mr.. Havemeyer, the president OF the
sugar trust, had appeared before the ways
and means committee when the tariff bill
vas up and according to Senator Allison,
had secured an arrangement By which &c.
O0O, 600 were put into the pockets OF that
trust. Mr.. Mills, chairman Of the WAYS and
means committee, in 4 special card, printed
this morning in thu Louisville papers,
denies that Mr.. Havemeyer ever appeared
before the committee or thst any such
arrangement as have spoken of was made
for his benefit. do not know what Mr..
Mills means by this denial, unless it is that
Mr.. Havsmeyer never appeared before the
full committee when in regular session. 1t
he m cans that he did not appear before
members of the committee in the committee
room, then he is contradicted, not by my
self but by the Congressional Record. On
page G, SOB of the Congressional Record, for
the current session issued en- July 10, de-
bate is reported. in which MIR. Breckenridge,
of Arkansas, q member of the ways and
means committee, admitted that he had in
vited Havemeyer and his attorney TO the
room of the committee on ways and means
on the 10Th of April, to talk over the sugar
tariff, and Mr.. Breckenridge. of Kentucky,
another member of the ways and means
committee, admitted having met Havemey-
er and b attorney at another time. ALI
that is stated and is substantiated by what
now quote, and in consequence the sugar
standard vas changed from Nc. IL, origin

tariff bill to No. Is, IS reported by the ways
and means committee, and passed BY the
house. and it was in this chan ge that Ssna-
tor Allison finds the s6.OOO,OG0 that Mr.
Mills committee put into the pockets of the
trust. may take Mr.. Mills denial, if he
enosoes. that Havemeyer never appeared be-
fore HIM, but here were two members of the
ways end means committee, who openly ac-
EnowledRed that they had heard,
not only Havemeyer, but his attorney,
and the attorney was skilled In
every feature Of the sugar tariff,
and not only knew what points were ad-
vantageoas to the government but also
geous to the trust. The latter points seem
to have been adopted by the ways and means
committee, though perhaps MI. Mills did
not know it (Applause.]

OF democratic meeting in New YORK,
before which NJ -: F ,ansn thu the
peared to defend his policy Of
looming $50, OO0. 900 of tho peoples money
to certain pet banks without interest. His
defense consists chiefly in proving that
0verstated the amount those banks could
make out of that Transaction. He says that
I calculated the interest on tbs whole &c.,
10o, Geo, whereas the banks are compelled to
Keep 25 per cent of it in their vaults. Poor
banks, what hardship they have to endure.

Mir. Fairchild does not frankly and man
fully confront the issue. He does not state
to the people how the banks could sfford to
buy government bonds, when the govern
ment itself could not afford it. If it vas IN
advantageous proceeding for these banks to
invest So, 0cO, UC0 in government bonds, why
was it not stili more advantageous for the
government to do it! GCheers.l press
this question upon VI. Fairchild, for
he has not answered Why, IL the
