majority in the Senate and the exorbitant and
indefensibe concessions demanded by the
sugar planting and refining interests were So

Only two Democrats. Mr.. Hill and Mr. Irby had
the courage and consistency to resist to the last
the glaring betrayal Of party professions Involved
in the open and lavish favortism to special in
tcrests displayed by the proposed scheme Of sugar
duties. Both Senator's by their votes declared
their self-respectng adherence to the logical
theory Of low taxation on the prime necessariesof
