Senator Villas and the Sugar Trust


Senator Villas made speech at
LKenosha October 6, 1892, which con-
stains some passages that are curious
reading now. He had good deal to
say about the wickedness of the Re-
publicans in leaving duty of half a
cent pound upon refined sugars and
of how it robbed the people for the
benefit of the sugar trust. From q
verbatim report of his speech we take
the following:
The ref1ners take the raw sugar and manu-
facture it, by their processes of refinement
and charge the tax (the half cent duty over
SO us, and we have been paying on every
pound OF sugar we buy, practically-it is all
refined. But more than that, that very little
tax of balf a cent pound has enabled the
national refners to form trust. What is a
trust? A trust is a combination of the manu-
Tacturers of particular article in this coun-
try which is protected by the tariff so that,
as the tariff excludes foreign competition
by their mutual agreement they exclude
domestic competition, and, all compet-
ton being crushed out, they charge their fell
low-countrymen what they please within cer-
tain limits. The sugar trust has got
hold Of it, and you pay your tax every time
you put a spoonful of sugar in your coffee.
But you do not pay it to the treasury of the
United States as you used to- you pay it to
the trust, which has got the benefit of this
tariff law that is now, not what it purports to
be, a tariff for revenue, but that fraudulent
thing that robS the people, a tariff for pro-
factiOn

Finding a Treasure.

brook, deep in the forest, sparkling like a
tiny flame in the sunlight, and growing still

One dav, when very bright sunbeam
danced to and fro across it. the tortoise
stopped to look Curiously at it. He was a
SLOW fellow at his best and fingered so long
that Bunny stopped, too. to see what il could
up scoldIng at the crowsto ask them what was
to be seen. The crows themselves are famous
for chattering. so in less time than can tell
1t, they had spread the news to all the forest
creatures.
Its not good to eat" said the tortoise,
FOR tasted 1t, and it's hard and cold"

the squirrel; but l see it is not that"

So the squirrel was sent to waken the owl

just then footstep rustled the dry leaves.

slowly along the brook. just then his eye fell
on the glltterlng little bail; and crying out

There Is certain German barkeeper up
town, says the New York World who is
nursing vigorous wrath and particularly
knotty blackthOrn. because of an unknown
person with an IRISH accent and an engaging
address.
One night the stranger stepped up to the
bar and asked for quart Of gin in a black
bottle which he placed on the bar. The bar
keeper filled the bottle, and the man walked
toward the door
''Here!' yelled the barkeeper. you give
me no moneys for dot chin!''
An. mark il down on the slate, will yery"
We hef no slet; you give me back dot
chin or give me my money"
Not cent, not a cent; take Iack your
stuff.
So the man handed back the bottle to the
barkeeper, who poured the contents OF the
bottle into the cask.
week later. almost at the same hour. the
door blew in again. Hey, Dutch give US
quart O. gin, will yerg" The unsuspecting
barkeeper poured the liquor into the bottle,
handed it over the bar, and, as before, the
man took the Bottle and started of.

The bottle was'handed back across the bar.
and the man again disappeared into the
night. Again the liquor trickled down into
the cask.

keeper became suspicious.

Looking Backward.

| The Forum for May contains two arti-
| cles on "A Year of Democratic Admins
/ tratioun One is by eX-Gov. Russell, of
Massachusetts, who is a democrat, and
! the other is by Senator Cullom, of Hi
nois, a republican.
It seems to us that Gov Russell speaks
conscientiously and from the standpoint
of a statesman, while Senator CullOm
takes partisan's view of his subject.
Gov. Russell points out that the demo-
cratic administration has done and is
doing what it set out to do. II has re-
pealed the obnoxious election laws, and
thus removed a cause of bitterness and
sectional feeling 1t has put the cur
rency on a sound basis in that it has re-
sisted the silver craze. II will have
greatly reduced the tariff in the course of
month or two, and thus lessened
the burdens of the people,
1t has introduced economy in
to the administration of the
government, and it has conducted foreign
affairs with due regard for the rights
of the weak and strong alike. This is a
creditable record, and one that will be
appreciated when it is fully understood.
Senator Cullom charges that the pres
ent business stagnation has been brought
about by democratic rule, and that the
loss to wage earners has been something
like $500, 100000, and to the owners of
securities and real property about $1,000
100000. In other words, according to his
view, the country, because of one year of
democratic administration, is worse off
by 81, SOC, 900, 900
If Senator Cullom had written in spirit
of fairness he would have admitted that
the signs Of business depression had be-
gun to appear long before the close of the
republican administration, and that if
Gen. Harrison had been succeeded by a
republican President the money panic of
last summer would not have been pre-
vented nor would the industrial and bust
ness depression have been avoided.
When the democratic administration
came into favor it found the treasury
empty aud the country drifting rapidly
toward a money and an industrial panic
Nothing that it could have done would
have checked the movement toward hard
times and brought about immediate pros
perity The existing conditions, largely
due to the extravaganza and bad legisla-
tion of the Republican party, called for
liquidation
Because the liquidation came during a
democratic administration it does not fol-
low that that administration made liqui-
dation necessary. Liquidation is made
necessary by previous period of bad man
agement. If the industrial and business
epression had come at the end of a
democratic administration instead of at
the beginning of it, there would be some
reason for holding the democratic admin
iStration responsible for it.
A year hence it will be possible to OBJ
tain clearer view of the causes of the hard
times of the last year, and it is safe to
predict that then the hard times will not
be charged to the account Of the demo
cratic administration.

The responsibility for "Coxeyism," which
may be described as a demonstration OF
marching forces for the purpose of intmida-
ting public opinion, the Official authorities
ana congress, rests with the vicious partisan
organs of republican sentiment. There is
none OF ii at the south. 1t originated IN the
ported by the northern republican press and
politicians. The republican press and politi.
Clans have made the frenzied appeals, have
scattered widely the incendiary teachings,
ana have suggested and encouraged the wild
doctrines which are at the basis OF "Coxey-
Ism. For shameless party ends they have
melted the discomfort and encouraged the
spirit OF turbulence in which the industrial"
armies had their origin
