DISCUSS THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.

Speeches Made Senators Vest and AllisOI
From Different Points of View.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Thirteen sena
tors, six Democrats and seven Republi
cans, We're in the senate room Monday
when the senate entered upon the tariff
bill. Senator HOar suggested the alb
sence of a quorum and ~ minutes Were
spent wanting the presence of AZ senator:
necessary to proceed. A resolution pro
viding for the payment of the expense:
of the bribery and other investigating
committees out of the contingent funC
vas adopted. The tariff bill was takeI
up, the sugar schedule pending. Senate,
Vest took the floor and made brief ex
planation concerning the controverted
POINT in last Saturdays debate rs to the
existence of the sugar trust in 1890.
Senators Aldrich and Sherman had
contended that the present trust was moi
listed on the New York stock board
Senator Vest produced some authorities
to show that s,926,00O shares of the
stock of the sugar II ling company
were sold on the market in New York in
1850, which at s100 per share represented
$500, COO, ,00D. He had as much right to
insinuate that the sugar trust dictated
the sugar schedule in the Mckinley bill
as senators or the other side had to i'm.
pugn the action of the majority in the
present congress.
Allison Qa) followed Vest with an
1n1, sl,n col,< l,,S.,
1t was, he said, by far the most impOr.
tant provision of the bill. 1t afforded
one-third OF the revenue produced by the
bill. He declared, according to numer-
Gus authorities, sugar could he refined
cheaper here than in Germany and some
other European countries. Tho schedule
practically would prohibit the importa-
ton of refined sugars. 1t was not a
schedule for protection, but prohibition.
Jones (Ark.) followed with a detailed
explanation of the sugar schedule. He
denied that the Mckinley bill had given
the people one ounce Of free sugar. By
imposing duty of six-tenths of cent
on refined sugar, it had taxed
the people se3,0Oo,oo0, all of which
went into the pockets of
the refiners. Besides $4,000, 600
had to be paid out of the treasury in the
form OF sugar bounties, so the total sugar
tax Oh the people of the United States
amounted to $4,000. 600, of which not
one dollar had gone into the federal
treasury. The duty which it was pro-
posed TO impose by this bill, he said,
would cost the people about So. .0Gt', 900,
of which SIC. 100000 would go into the
treasury, $1,000, 600 to the planters in the
form of protection and $6,00G,OO0 to the
refners, who would get but one-fourth
of what they go! under the present law.
Hoar did not believe his constituents
would understand the complicated
mathematics of the sugar schedule, but
he said they would understand that the
party which promised them free raw
material, free coal, iron ore. lead ore,
free sugar, etc, had betrayed New En-
gland by striking down their industries
in order to build up those of the south.
Platt Comm. who followed Aldrich. de-
nouncei in bitter and carstic words the
surrender of ths Democratic majority to
the sugar trust.

many poor persons live, the condition is

ever shelter can lie found. Much dis

WITH military snobs during the war
there WAS feeling of ill-will against
citizen soldiers who were promoted on
account of bravery 1t is said that the
killing Of Capt. Hedberg by Lieut..
Nancy at Fort Sheridan. appears TO
have been caused 10y this old feeling.
Hedberg having never attended the
military school at West Point, while
Nancy was q graduate, an unprovoked
murder, seemingly to dispose of He'd
berg because he had earned his position
by bravery and not by reason of West
Point influence. Our military school.
like most human institutions. has not
been an unmixed good by any means.
but there was just enough of that top
lofty superciliousness shown by many of
West Points smart Alecs during the
war to plOw into the memory OF the citi-
zen soldiers who were fighting for their
country and not for glory" that our
system Of military training needs a
thorough Overhauling to the end that
the principles of orr government be
better recognized, and that the sons of
the republic who attend that school
shall be protected in all their just rights
against cowardly bullies or any other
class of students who chance to find
their way there.
