water from bond for nothing. The
farmers Of the West have no protec-
tion for their wool, a1d the iron mas
ters of Alabama and the coal miners OF
West Virginia are looked after.
The Wilson bill is dead. The Brice-
German monstrosity is on top. The
House died in the last ditch and in the
lowest portion thereof. Thus, says the
Chicago Tribune, there Is to be tariff
law which, according to Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter to Chairman Wilson,
means party perfidy and rarty dis
honor" According TO that high DEM
ocratic authority mo tariff measure
can accord with Democratic principles
and pre- mi es or bear a genuine Demo-
cratic badge that does not provide for
free raw materials. But the bill
which has Ia:sed imposes duties on
coal, iron ore and sugar. Mr.. Clevela ID
SAID to Chairman Wilson a month ago
that the Democracy demanded speedy
action on the tariff, but they demand
not less earnestly that no stress of
Lecessity shall tempt those they trust
to the abandonment of Democratic
principles. The House Democrats did
yield t. the stress of necessity and
abandoned Democratic principles.
True democrats repudiate the Senate
bill, AMI the peop.e, irrespective of
politics, cannot be expected to Apr I'VE
of it. For it does too much good to y
trust and much harm to them. Mr..
Wilson stated in the clucus that
lie had been credibly informed and be-
lieved that the sugar trust had, anticipat-
ing tho enactment OF the Senate sugar
schedule. purchased sil2,oOO.oOO worth OF
raw sugar IL this was true he said, the
profits accruing to the trust from this In
vestment In advance OF the enactment OF
the Senate schedule would be at least $40,
100000 Mr.. Wilson also pointed out at
length the embarrassment attending the
efforts TO adjust the coal and iron sched-
uleS
The stress of necessity" which
forced Mr.. Wilson and his colleagues
to knuck,e down TO the trust and give
it forty millions will not have any
weight with the voters this coming
November. They will repudiate this
new tariff measure not merely because
it is surrender to the Sugar Trust,
but also because it IS a wage-cutting,
facto.y-closing measure. Said Mr..
Wilson:
The great battle is between the Amer =
can people and the Sugar Trust 1t is IA
people by the throSt, and II will never end
until we throw off the grip.
The voters will sen1 to Congress in
294 and also in 1896 re, resentatives
who will not give way TO the trust as
he has done and who will throw off the
grip he has helped to tighten. 1t is
true that the House proceeded at once
to lass bills for tho free-listing of
sugar, coal and iron orc. But this is
merely firiEg Of bank cartridges.
THESE bills could never get through
the Senate. Those interests which
stood together to force the adoption of
the Senate bill will stand together this
winter. No ons imagines that after
the sugar trust has got through bill
which gives it douceur, or sweet
ener, OF forty million dollars, il will
allow another bill to To put through
the Sena' at the coming session which
will take from 1t portion of those ille-
gitimate gains.
The new law will remain unaltered
until the next Presidential election
places the Republicans In power. Till
that time this Senate measu will
have to stand-a measure which the
peopla do not want which Mr. CIeyo-
