| WASHINGTON. June 4. 1891.
The Democratic Senator'S already
deeply regret having allowed the
two newspaper correspondents who
declined to tell the sources OF the
information they published in con-
uection with the sugar trust scandal.
to even stand a chance OF being
indicted by the grand jury. The cor
respondents would like nothing bet
ter than trial in court, which must
follow il they are indicted, as it
would enable them to have witnesses
called and made to talk who would
make it plain that their charges rep
resented only a small part of the
crookedness which has been going
On among Democrats, and who will
never be called by the investigating
committee, and some of whom would
refuse to answer questions If they
were called.
Even with the easy methods OF
the investigating committee, which
seems TO be largely dependent upon
volunteer testimony, the substantial
acts in the charges made by the
newspaper men have been shown to
be true. Notwithstanding the cop
ious explanations with which the
admissions were accompanied, there
is no getting around the fact that
Senator Mcpherson, OF New Jersey,
speculated in sugar stock and made
money out OF it, nor that the sugar
schedule in the present tariff bill was
mostly written by Secretary Carlisle.
These facts as we'll as that heavy
democratic influence was brought
by agents of the sugar trust to bear
on Representative Warner, of New
York, to make him stop working to
have sugar put on the free list, have
been testified to by the men named.
This week some sensational testi-
mony is expected from the widely
advertised wire manufacturer. Sem
ator Hills resolution for open ses-
sions of the committee has stirred
up the Senators, but it is not prob
able that it will be passed. When
the Credit Mobilier scandal was
being investigated, more than
twenty years ago, the Senate adopted
resolution instructing the com
mittee, which had been working
behind closed doors, to conduct the
investigation openly, but that is the
only similar case known.
Senator Manderson, of Nebr., while
making an earnest speech in favor OF
the continuation of the sugar bounty
of the Mckinley law, used language
that should be committed to memory
by every member Of Congress, and
which was all the more striking because
1t followed the cringing apology of
Senator Blanchard, Of La for support
ing the Wilson bill in the House with
its free sugar clause. and then after
getting in the Senate demanding
protection for sugar as the price of
his vote. Senator Henderson, after
expressing the hope that the selfish
protection sentiment of the louisiana
Senator, which proposes merely to
benefit locality, would one day grow
into sentiment broad enough to favor
protection for all industries said II

state, not only for protection on beef
sugar and on the products of the

ELKTON. JUNE 8, 1894.
THE SUGAR TRUST WINS.

The Democratic majority in the
Senate passed on Tuesday the Sugar
Trust schedule OF the tariff bill,
which imposes a duty of forty per
cent ad valorem on all sugars raw
and refined, with a differential duty
of one-eighth of cent per pound
on sugars above I6 Dutch standard
and an additional one.tenth of cent
against sugars imported from coun-
tries paying an export bounty. The
schedule goes into effect January l.,
1895. and the bounty is continued
until that date.
There can be but one opinion of
this adjustment of the sugar sched-
ule, that it has been dictated in the
interest of the sugar trust, one OF the
richest and most grasping of
American monopolies.
This forty per cent duty based on
prices ranging in New York will give
the sugar trust forty-six cents pro-
lection on the hundred pounds, ex-
elusive of the one eighth specific
duty on refined, and the one-tenth
diferential. Now since sugars can
be refined cheaper here than in most
European countries, the schedule
will practically prohibit the impor-
tation OF refined sugars, and will
amount to per capita tax OF $500
per year on every family in the
United States. and will raise the cost
of sugar to the consumer at least one
and one-half cents pound.
In fact, since the schedule does
not go into effect until January I,
IS95,it will give the sugar producers
in advanced prices. a double bounty
until that time and enable the sugar
refners to buy six months supply Of
OF raw sugar in the open markets OF
the world, hold it until the duty goes
into effect on January I, 1895, and
then take the amount Of the duty out
OF the pockets of the consumer. In
other words the Louisiana planters
get the bounty for their growing
crop,which will be about ten millions
of dollars, and will be protected to
the extent of ten millions more for a
year.
This is the price the country will
pay tor the blessing of sugar tariff
dictated by those interested in its
imposition, imposed, too, by a
majority OF Democrats in the Senate.
Under this beautiful specimen of
Democratic tariff tinkering, what
becomes of ''the party" cry for
untaxed commodities for the poor
mans household?
The poor man must have sugar to
sweeten his coffee, and the Chicago
platform promised him free commod
tiles, since protection was a robber
and fraud?
Yet under this Democratic sugar
trust schedule, a greedy monopoly
will rob the consumers of the country
to the tune OF fifty millions of dollars
which individual consumers of this
poor mans necessity, sugar. must
pay.
Talk about frauds on the people,
and contemptuous defiance of pub
lie opinion!
Here you have beautiful example
of both, brought about by the secret
Vaccinations of a greedy monopoly
that contributed thousands OF dollars
to Mr.. Cleveland's campaign fund
and now reaps rich reward, under
the rascally cry OF tariff reform and
free trade.
If such legislative rascality does
does not react upon the Democratic
party, then indeed hath public
virtue become extinct.
