\ celebrated portrait painter once
spent a week of delightful rest and
quiet at an old New England farm
house. His host, a mai of sturdy com

interested in "paintin's," and when
the artist left the farm he rave the old
man a cordial invitation to come to
his studio on his next visit to the city,

pleasantly. Two months later the
farmer, in his Sunday best, presented
himself at the studio just as the artist
was putting the finishing touches to a
beautiful portrait which was to be ex.
hibited within a few days.
Other portrait were in the studio,
and the artist watched his farmer
guests face with curiosity, as he
looked about him. There was no mis-.
taking the expression which grew
upon his rugged features; it was one of
severe disappointment
"How do you like my pictures?' in
quired the artist at last. with a slight
feeling of chagrin.

Speaker Crisp rendered . service OF

the other trusts TO the republican
party. Republican protection created

In reply 20 the taunts and ieers OF
the republicans, at the crisis Of the
closing debate on the tariff. the
speaker. being on the floor, said; III
there is a sugar trust in this country
which is dominating legislation the
republican party created it. And
though this bill does not destroy that
trust, as we wish il did, it takes away
more than one-half Of the protection
accorded to that trust" 1t was a re-
publican trust which q democratic
ongre had stripped in part o. its
power and OF its enormous profits,
The iron ore trust and the coal
trust, equally, were republican crea-
tions. They were established by re-
publican protection. They would
have had no existence but for the re-
publican tariff, which empowered
them to rob the people by extor,ion'
ate prices FOR their products and 10
suppress competition by the practice
of oppressive and unconscionable
methods.
Republican tariff history shows the
means by which the sugar trust was
created, Under the tariff of 1855 the
duty was one cent and two mills per
pound for raw sugar and three cents
and five mills per pound for refined
sugar. The d~ifferentisl tariff by which
the sugar trust was created amounted
to TWO cents and three mills per pound
the difference between the duty o n
raw sugar and the duty on refined
sugar.
The Mckinley tariff superseded the
tariff of ISIS, 1t admitted raw sugar
free of duty, but gave the sugar trust
the protection Of five mills a pound OF
raw sugar.
This protection-this money which
the two republican tariffs took from
the pockets Of the people and put in
the Golfers Of the sugar trust-enriched
it. made it a giant in strength and
armed it to defeat an honest tariff in
the present congress. 1t lisa republic
