Quoted by Senators and those who were
allied with them in connection with the
tariff legislation. But it also seems GER
tain that this committee with it, limited
power, in the view of the constitutional
and Legal provisions which protect the
secrets of commercial business and of
the secret manner in which stock opera
tions are uniformly conducted. will
never be able to arrive at the truth.
The fact is that the Administration,
through il recognized agents aud the
Democratic Senators, cannot explain or
defend their course with reference to
the Sugar Trust. They have adopted a
provision Which gives to the trust, not
only all the protection which it desires
and the ad yalorem duties which it has
demanded but also gives six months
time for it to import sugar before the
sugar schedule goes into effect. In this
time one years supply could be import
ed free of duty.

The strike at Cripple Creek Colorado,
has been settled and the striking miners
have laid down their arms. This was ac-
complshed Friday and without blood

numbers sufficient to show the strikers

with them. State troops wherever used

That is what people who take IL say,

The fact of the matter Is, Paskola is q
