THE SUGAR TRUSTS VICTORY!

Foreclosure OF the Mortgage Made Whsa
the Democracy Went In
The sugar trust has won.
Its victory in congress is complete.
The administration also recognizes
its supremacy.
The Clevelauds and Wilson's, NO
less than the Germans and Brices, are
its subservient supporters.
A tariff bill has finally been passed
which is not only acceptable to both
branches of congress and Presidents
Cleveland, but also has the approval
of the American Sugar Refineries comb
pany, the incorporated title of the
sugar trust.
The stumbling block" which has
been in the pathway of tariff reform"
ever since the house refused to accept
the senate's amendments to the VIII
son bill, the senate refused to recede,
the president wrote to Representatives
Wilson and Senator German replied to-
the presidents letter, was placed there
by the sugar trust In q word, tho
trust "held up" both the congress and
the president and refused to allow tho
procession to proceed until its high
wayman demands had been conceded.
The concession was made evidently as
the result of the three-cornered con-
sultation at the white house between
Grover Cleveland, Arthur 2. German
and William L. Wilson.
The revised tariff bill which has
been passed by congress is not conn
promise bill, in the sense that thesen-
ate and house have made mutual con-
cessions in order to harmonic conflict
ing elements. The concessions are ALI
on one side and have been made by
the house and the president to the
senate and the sugar trust. They
were the indispensable condition ON
which the trust would remove its op-
position and permit a tariff bill to
pass; and the Wilson's and Clevelands
have bowed their heads and submitted
to the very yoke which the Germans
and Brices have worn and for which
they have been numerically criticised
by the American people regardless of
party.
The democracy has paid an extor-
tionate price for its tariff bill; has paid
the penalty of accepting half million
dollars from the sugar trust in 1922

at one time an incandescent bubble
that had cooled without breaking. He
stood in the center and threw the light

ing else in the cave SO impressed him
as this magnificent natural rotunda.
Indeed the rest of the subterranean
passages and openings were such as
are seen in all the underground tracts
of Kentucky and Tennessee. Vast &C
cumulations of limestone debris;
chol,ed and narrow alleyways; bottom
less holes: enormous stalactites and
mounds of their fragments where they
had fallen. Here and there streams of
water flowed sluggishly across their
path and once they encountered pond
or lake about mile in extent and at
one point half mile in width.

Laport with the prodigious expense
and the comparative futility of con-
structing a narrow-guage road on the
varying and stony levels But he saw
that it could be built on iron benches
against one of the walls with only two
breaks that needed bridging.
When Hendricks returned and had
closeted himself with Laport in what
he called the laboratory, he did not
find his engineer very enthusiastic.

track down." he said, land il is for

I'VE may not In the present measure and the
present congress secure oil that may be de-
sired. but IL is just as sure as night will follow
the day that all legislation that may give re-
lief in the direction Of true tariff reform Is TO
remain upon the statutes fixed and secure. It
may be added to and advanced, but 1t will
nevermore be taken from or moved backward"
Not one of these democrats has
word to say about the sugar trust pro-
visions of their new law. Not one of
them condemns the few concessions
made to special industries to win the
votes of one or two democratic SEN
ators. They are all going to accept
the measure as "a step in the right d.
rection." and promise more steps in
the same direction when they get
chance.
Mr.. Cleveland said in his letter to
Chairman Wilson: You know how
much deprecated the introduction in
the bill of the income tax feature"
The Indiana democrats say that is "a
wise and equitable measure" By the
terms of the law that tax will run for
only five years If the democratic
party is in power four years hence the
Indiana members of that organization
will insist on a continuance of the in
come tax on a larger scale. They will
demand a graduated tax then.
The policy of the democrats for this
falls campaign is outlined clearly.
They will say nothing about Cleve-
lands letter to Wilson, and nothing
about the sugar trust They will
stand up for their new law, because it
is a step in the direction of free trade.
and will promise more steps at the
first opportunity the people may be
foolish enough to give them--Chicago
Tribune.

Capt. Blinn aboard, he having been
similarly picked up, they congratu-
lated each other.
The vessels were run safely into the
Wash bayou at night unobserved, and
the whole energy of Hendricks and his
confederates was then directed to the
transportation of the specie to the
western end of the Laran cave.
In spite of the urgent need of haste,
this was done deliberately and method
ically, and the wild, deserted coun-
try favored the task. Mule teams
were provided; the two journeys were
made at night under guard, and in
three days after the landing there were
two million nine hundred thousand
dollars in the Laran cave.
Hendricks plans for the immediate
use of some of the money are in part
known. Three months before the rob-
berry of the steamship, he had, by some
scheme, managed to borrow six thou
sand dollars, which he converted into
gold and deposited in the First ma
tional bank of Memphis to be drawn
against. He now went to the Second
national bank of Louisville, Ky. with
the certificate of deposit and expressed
desire to change the specie from one
bank to the other as a matter of con-
venience. 1t was an ordinary business
transaction and created no suspicion.
He then instead of drawing the six
thousand from Memphis. made fresh
deposit of six thousand in Louisville.
This gave him bank capital sufficient
for ordinary and immediate use in cur
rency, and the fact that he bad not
withdrawn the money from one bank
TO put it in the other either escaped
notice at the time or was not regarded
as of any significance.
His next move was the formation of
supposititious syndicate to purchase
the land in Tennessee for a national
sanitarium. This project was exploit
ed in the Kentucky papers with great
cunning. A corporation of medical
men had surveyed the land and were
about to purchase it and erect mag
nificent hotel. and they had made Mr..
Hendricks a handsome offer for it.
While all this was maturing the woman
whom Laport had met as Miss Frank
lin was making purchases in New York.

PERFIDY AND prsHoNoR.


Democratic Principles and the New Tariff
Bill.
Before the tariff bill was passed Mr..
Cleveland said of it that if put through
in the form in which it went to the
conference committee it meant party
perfdy and party dishonor." He said
further that mo tariff measure can
accord with democratic principles or
promises or bear q genuine democratic
badge that does not provide for free
raw materials" AS coal and iron ore
have not been put on the free list the
new law does not accord with genuine
democratic principles according to the
presidents idea of them.
But the democrats outside of the
white house, even those who but
few days ago were commencing Mr..
Cleveland for his heroic stand in sup
port of the sound doctrine, are of the
opinion now that the new law is not
so undemocratic after all Even Larry
Neal, the author of the radical plank
in the national platform which calls
for the destruction of all protection as
unconstitutional and a robbery, says:
Il am well SatlSne0 Wlen the termination OF
the contest The bill just passed is q wonder
full improvement on the Mckinley law and
makes long step In the right direction. The
reductions are substantial and will prove very
beneficial to the country
The Indiana democrats in their plat
form say:
I'VE approve the efforts Of President Cleve-
land and his administration, and Of the demo
cratic house Of representatives, and Of q
large majority of the democratic senators. and
particularly our distinguished senators from
Indiana d. W. voorhees, and David Turpie.
and our entire democratic delegation In con-
gress to redeem the pledges made to the coun-
try By the last democratic convention and to
execute the will of the American people as ex-
pressed at the ballot box In 1902"
Owing to the exertions of Senator
German and few others those ''ef-
forts were a failure and the demo-
cratic congress was far from carrying
out the pledges made in the platform
of 1892 Nevertheless the convention
congratulated congress that % a sub
stantial measure of reform had been
effected" What Mr.. Cleveland called
party perfidy and party dishonor" it
called substantial measure of re-
form" Nor did Gov. Matthews in his
speech to the convention talk of the
new tariff measure in the language
used by Mr.. Cleveland. Said he:

a question who occupy the more cred-
table position-the Germans and tho
Brices. who have from the beginning
of the tariff controversy recognized
the democracy's obligations to the
sugar trust and sought to satisfy them,
or the Wilson's and Clevelands, who
have hypocritically sought to gain
popular applause by repudiating the
obligations and eventually been COM
PEELED to meet them.
Be that as it may, the national de-
mocracy is in disgrace. The sugar
trusts mortgage made in 1892 has been
foreclosed; and the party has been de-
prived both of its character and its po-
litical capital.-Albany Journal

CHAPTER VII


No one knew so well as Hendricks,
who sat in the cabin of the San Pedro,
that all this was child's play to
what was to come. He had sixteen
hundred miles to run. He was loaded
heavily with coal and the gold had
weighted his vessel too seriously to
think of getting anything like the
speed out of her that he desired. She
was schooner-rigged and there was a
stiff wind blowing from the northeast.
That was in his favor. But he calcu-
lated that if one of the westward bound
ocean greyhounds spoke the Corinthian
and got her story, the news would
reach New York and set the telegraph
in operation much too soon for his
safety. He had informed himself of
the position of all the government YES
sells and he knew that there was at
last accounts fast cruiser in Mobile
bay. He, therefore, calculated as close
ly as he could the chances of the Cor
inthian being intercepted; for, dis
-abled as she was, it would be her cap
tain's plan to put her in the route of
-westward-bound steamship.
He betrayed his anxiety to the cap
tain, but that parsonage filed himself
with Medford rum and insisted that the
worst part of the job was done.
The first thing that Hendricks did
gether with all his superfuous shot
and ammunition. He then got up steam
and stood off in a southeasterly direc-
ton until the Corinthian was hull
down. when he shifted his course and
went directly west.
There was another source of anxiety
in his crew, but here his matchless
cunning and self-reliance stood him
well in hand. He knew what he could
do with them if he got within American
waters. and they were equally anxious
with himself to get off the high seas
1t blew a stiff gale all the first night
and his vessel labored badly. Finally
he took his captains advice. which was
to save his coal till he wanted to show
his heels to something and take il easy
under sail. The consequence was that
it was nearly six days before he struck
the Gulf stream and he had not seen a
puff of black smoke on the horizon.
He had provided himself with four
boats and managed to land thirty of
his men with a thousand dollars of
American gold eagles in each mans
pocket, at San Augustine in the night
They were as anxious as he to part
company, and with thousand dollars
every man of them felt as rich as his
leader. The moment he had reduced
his crew, he clapped on steam, went
down the coast and rounded Cape Fear
well to the south. He is known TO have
landed few more men somewhere on
the coast of southern Georgia, similarly
paid off in gold He then sailed south
and laid off and on for six hours, and
finally met two stoutly built fishing
pirogues into which with his crew he
transferred his plumber and then sank
the San Pedro, taking pains TO arrange
1t that much of her recognizable ma
terial would float
The specie being carefully concealed
in the holds of these fishing vessels and
covered with sea grass. they set out
north in pleasant weather, and arrived
off the coast of Alabama on or about
the 18th, and proceeded ieisurely

vessels at that season, the crew catch

To the captains utter amazement
twenty other passengers shouted:
Ave, aye, shut off your steam"
Even then some horrible suspicion of
the truth must have flashed upon the
wretched officers nd as he looked
down upon this group. He caught the
rail a moment with both hands, then
wheeled round and. folding his arms,
said to his companion on the bridge:
''Stop herr
As if in anticipation of this, the San
Pedro had slackened speed and was
now blowing white cloud of steam.
For ten minutes everybody on the
sCorinthian watched the vessels ap-
proach each other and. when they
were less than thousand feet apart,
every one could see the line of heads
along the smaller vessels taffrail.
The sea was unusually calm and
CLASSY. and presently boat manned
by six men put off from the San Pedro.
When the young man who repre-
scented the pirate had reached the deck
of the Corinthian he found himself
facing a crowd of men and women in
every condition of alarm and anxiety.
He was dressed in a blue shirt and
common duck trousers and glazed cap;
in his belt he carried regulation navy
revolver. He saluted. the captain po-
litely and said. in a pleasant voice:
Il am instructed, sir, to ask you to
order your people below. We will
come alongside and remove your spe-
Gle. No harm will be done and no in
dignity offered to your crew or passen-
gers"
Damn your impudence, sir.'' re-
torted Capt. Jamison. I've a great
mind to chuck you into the sea myself.

Gas YOU please. sir" the young man
replied. lit would be cruel necessity

He turned to go to his boat after
making another salute and one of the
passengers again interfered.

said, "and are not going to be mur-
dered on the high seas to save your

Whereupon twenty other passengers
armed with revolvers stepped out and
repeated: AYE, aye. Take the gold,
but we want to reach our destination.
The upshot was that the captain and
his officers were locked in the cabin.
the passengers ordered below and the
San Pedro dashed alongside. 1t took
e seventy-five men two hours and a half
to transfer the gold from one vessel to
another, and sharp lookout was kept
for approaching steamships. When
the task was accomplished. the en-
gineers were ordered on deck and
three of the Pedro's crew went below
and effectually disabled the ma
chinery of the Corinthian. This took
another hour.
The last thing the pirates saw was
the white hair of Capt. Jamison blow
ing in the wind that had sprung up
from the northeast, as he shook his
fist at them. And the last words they
heard were: iii hang every dog of
