world will deeply sympathizo with her.
THEY "DID NOT KNOW"
\ In the receut debate in the Senate
some admissions were made by several
Republican Senators, which show the
partisan nature and utter hypocrisy
,of the Republican howl over the sugar
Schedule OF the Senate bill. The New
York Times has collected several Of
these interesting admissions. For iu-
stance, Mr.. TELLER expressed his opin.
ion very forcibIY. Here is the official
report OF q part Of bis remarks:
"Mr. Teller-Every time anybody talks
OF the duty and finds fault with The pro-
posed duty we are treated 10 statement or
the WrOngdOilCS OF the Republican party
in 1880 and are told that 10 ia an outrageous
manner gave the Trust an opportunity 20
sWiudle tue American people am quite
inclined 20 think that IS correct. / am
quite inclined 20 think 10 was dene, but In
nv Judgment ic was not done as openly IS
ii is being done today. The Senator from
EH1 IN ma HrnH
was The Senator from Missouri might
have known of IT,. a great many OF US aid
not
''AIr. vest-I said it was so much the
worse.
mn. Teuer-NIost OF US did not know
when we passed the Mckinley bill that
there was q great bounty Of S25, 0J0 900 20
be paid 20 this Trust then in It's lnclpiert
stage, Sc was nearly three years ola. and
which had not family got so tnat NJ could
take hold and command legislation and cor
rUpt parties and 90 all the things tlaci 10 is
said 20 be aOilg now.
Mr.. Teller remarked that ia 1880
the Trust aid not have a capital Of So
COO. 900, aad that its capital was ia
creased 20 SIS. 600. 600 in 1891 "No-
body in the United States whom have
ever heard or" hs continued, "who is
familiar with iJ ever suggested that
there was more than SEQ, 100000 OF the
property represented ia tas Trust
Using a plain American term, the S50,-
600, 900 was q clean steal, and they have
been paying since that time on the So
600, coo from 90 TO 81 per cent interest.
believe this year they are paying %
per cent, when everything else 10 this
country Is 20 distress. They have esen
.Eazs - 100000 out Of the American
people since 1890, and am afraid they
will continue 10 get in the ueiEh5orhood
OF that amount now. They may not
get quite so much"
''Most Of us did not know" said Mr.
TELLER. The inference is plain that
there we're some Republican Senators
who did know there was a great bounty
OF S23. 600, 900 to be paid to this Trust
and It's equally plain that those who
did know must have been the members
OF the Committee on Finance, who
fixed up" the Mckinley bill.
Mr.. HIGGINs was another Republican
Senator who did not know. He said:
SENATORS upon the other side have
pointed out the ADVANCE given TO the trust
byths Mckinley act Grant IT, Mr Presl-
dtnt; and while I know that ignorance is
I no excuse for crime, lt may 9t an excuse
for mistakes in legislation. / had no lueA
that sugar schedule OF the Mckinney act
al D ar
developed by the Sugar Trust
The following is from one Of Mr.
LoDGE's speeches, delivered June .:
at has been always said, aud said re-
Deatedly ina the Senate whenever the case
came up that the Mckinney act gave pro-
lection 10 tue Sugar Trust or the sugar re-
iuers. UuQueStIOnably " did, ana 10 my
Judgment it gave too much
Mr.. SHERMAN, a member OF the Com
mfttee on Finance in 1890 said on the
I'd inst, that he was ION the COM
mlttee of conference on the Mckinley
bills" that "there was a struggle to in
crease" the House bfrs forty cents per
hundred, " and that be did not think be
voted foe the increase. Mr.. ALDEJCH
aierward asserted that Mr.. SHERMAN
did vote for it, Mr.. SHERMAN also
said:
81 stated frankly that we did make
mistake in the sugar schedule"
"a mistake, is the most Republican
Senators can be brought 10 cal, the Go
per cent. protection given the Sugar
Trust By the NcEiale7 act, but they
will virtuousIy howi-tbat tpe
54255 per csnt-about a third less than
the Mckinley bouaty-in the pending
bill was dictated by the Trust"
II takes cold, hard cheek and enorm-
Gus nerve to do this, and the required
amount Of these can be found only in the
makeup Of Republican Congressional
leaders.
