The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1894-08-03

article tries to oistort the votes that gen
tleman cast into opposition to the sugar
schedule, a schedule that was originally
presented to the trainers of the senate
bill 10y the sugar trust, and which is gen
orally known to be perfectly satisfactory
to the trust. A large part of the article
IS devoted TO copying portion OF Sena-
tor kyle's remarks, and right in those
remarks is contained the Senator's adj
mission that he voted for the sugar
schedule, including the one-elyhth cent
ditierential for the retiners How can
the Review deny this when the Senator's
own words convict him of distorting the
record! Senator Kyles explanation OF
his vote is that the bill is preferable to
the Mckinley law, in that 1t fixes the
duty at one-eighth, while in the latter
the duty is one-halt cent, but he does
not speak Ut the 40 per cent advalorem
which the bill provides for, and which
would increase the duty to more than in
the Mckinley law. But it makes little
difference what Senator Kyle says in his
speech II is not speeches that pass
tariff bills, it is VOTES. When man
talks one way and votes another it only
stamps him as trickster The senator
not only voted for the sugar trust when
he voted for the bill as a whole, but
when the opportunity was offered by the
PETER amendment TO place ali sugar on
the tree list he voted against the amend
ment This vote was taken On June 9th,
and may be found on page 6S45 OF the
Congressional Record. The record is as
| follows:
Mr. PETER. l offer an amendment
| to the amendment.
The VICE-PRFSIDENT. The
amendment proposed by the Senator
from Kansas will be stated.
The SECRETARY. In paragraph 1927,
line "a, after the words ninety five"
strike out the remain der of the para
graph and insert:
All sugars, tank bottoms, sirups OF
cane Juice or of beet juice, melada, con
cen,rated melada, concrete and concen-
| trsted molasses, shall be admitted free
| nf duly.
! On this proposition Senator Hill said,
aud we quote from the Record:
Mr.. HILL. / trust the amendment
will be insisted upon, because it brings
up the plain, direct question as to whe-
ther sugars shall be upon the free list.
| The amendment offered by the Senator
from Kansas will bring up in as plain a
way as it can be brought up the direct
question, and l tor nne desire that it
shall be brought up in that way. l trust
we may have vote upon tLat amend
ment.
In the long and labored article of the
Review, not one word was said OF this
vote 10 admit sugar free, upon which the
republicans voted yea and the democrats
including Senator Kyle and excepting
Senator Hill, voted no. The Review
presumes upon the ignorance OF lis read
Kyle's position upon this sugar matter.
The original Wilson bill came from the
house with sugar on the tree list, the
cabal of senators, of which Kyle is one,
placed it on the du,iable list under the
pretense that the government needed
this extra tax on sugar, but really to
benefit the sugar trust and sugar plant
ers of Louisiana, and no amount OF mis-
representation can change these facts.
They are we'll known by all persons who
have followed the work OF the present
congress with any degree of attention.
and have been productive OF one OF the
greatest scandals ever known in con
gressional circles, and which the leading
democratic papers of the country have
denounced In unmeasured terms. We
have copy Of the Congressional Record
containing the votes on the sugar sched-
ule in our possession, and it is open for
the inspection OF anyone who may doubt
the facts here given.
