on raw sugar was made ? cents a pound

fined sugar cents a pound and % per

not propose to make any defense of the

relic of republicanism which must go at

REPUBLICANs AND SUGAR.

That most bigoted and hypocritical OF
republican newspapers, the Philadelphia
Press. says:
No train robber ever held up tenfold
their number more successfully than the
group 81 sugar trust senators has sue
ceeded in hating the democratic party.
Several corrections should be made in
this statement. The democratic party is
not halted in its demand for the removal
of all concessions to the sugar trust 1t
is moving forward with more determine
ton and more confidence than ever, and
the sugar trust is one lawless corpora
ton that it Will pursue to the death.
Secondly, it may be observed, that the
sugar trust senators alone could never
have held up the democrats in the SEN
ate if they had not had the aid and sup
port of the republican senators, who.

promptly furnished. If the republicans
had. possessed any desire to prevent con-
cessions to trusts-if even the populists
had stood unitedly for tariff reform
there would have been no blotches on the
senate bill.
But, further than this. what right has
any republican to criticise this sugar
schedule, or, indeed, any other conces-
sion to any trust? When the Mckinley
bill was under consideration the trusts
were invited to come forward and make
their own schedules, and they did so.
They simply figured out what they
wanted and handed the results to the
committee and the committee put their
figures in the law. There was no diff
