AL the testimony taken by the COM
mittee is submitted rs part Of the report.
Messrs. Davis and Lodge, Republicans,
submitted supplemental report devoted
entirely to the subject of the influence OF
of the sugar trust so-called on the making
Of the sugar schedule as it now stands in
the tariff hill. They say that mo evil
deace has been submitted to the commit
tee which proves that ne Sugar schedule
was male up in order to fulfill obliga-
tons to the sugar trust for campaign
contributions hut they consider it their
duty to go into some detail as to the
method employed in making up the sugar
schedule.
1T is admitted" says to support, land
it is proved by the sworn testimony OF
every witness called, that the present
form of the schedule was that desired by
thu. representatives Of the reineries or
the sugar trust"
The three interests concerned in the
sugar schedule are stated to be those
with no local or pecuniary interest who
believed in free sugar, the producers OF
raw sugar and the refners. 1t soon be-
came evident after the house bill came
to the senate, says the report, that no bill
could pass that body which did not regard
both the latter interests. The interests
of the producers and refiners then, it 10
said, came into conflict, the re6ners fav-
oring an advalorem duty on raw sugar,
as now embodied in the bill. 1t is pointed
out that Messrs. Havemeyer, Searles,
eHnry r. Reed. Cord Meyer and II. l.:
Terrell, of tho sugar trust, all testified
that they sought to secure an advalorem
duty.
