SUGAR AND WHITEWASH.

Disgrace of the Democracy In the Tariff
Tangle.
The report Of Senator Gray's COM
mittee on the sugar scandal was pro-
nounced by the New York Herald
"whitewashing report" in spite OF
which "the scandal that has sur
rounded the manipulation Of the
sugar schedule will remain as one Of
the most disgraceful chapters in the
history of American legislation" The
Herald shows that the main charge to
be investigated, whether legislation
had been promised in return for con-
tributions to the democratic campaign
fund in 1892, the committee left with
out satisfactory answer" and it did
not even call the men who could have
testified from knowledge. The mem
bers of the campaign committee who
did testify were carefully not asked
this question. The republican mem
bers of the committee point out that
the sugar schedule as it stands is in
the form desired by the sugar trust,
although with the exception of five or
six men at most the senate was unani-
mously of the opinion that the refners
The People's friend., 1894-08-24
should not have had so much protec-

should not have had SO much protec-
ton.
Senator Gorman's public declaration
in his great speech on the presidents
letter admitted that duty on sugar
was distinctly promised during the
campaign of 1892 to Senators Gibson
and White, of Louisiana. These sena-
tors had conferred first with the pres
ident, then the candidate who, in the
words of Mr. German, told them that
the democratic party was not to de-
strov industries, that it should place a
fair duty upon dutiable articles, rev.
enue duty; that the bill which had met
approval was the Mills bill, and on the
lines of the Mills bill the democratic
party would act" The Mills bill con-
tanned a graduated duty on raw ana
an additional protective duty on re-
fined sugar. Then the senator related
that he with Senators Brice and Smith
were of the campaign committee, and
were waited upon by the Louisiana
senators after they had seen the presl-
dent, and, says Mr.. German, we all
said YES, it is dutiable article; 1t is
to be and must be the cornerstone by
which we will overthrow Mckinney
ism; you shall have it." He further
said that he would have been glad to
get free sugar, but no one had ever
known him to break pledge.
This is straightforward and manly
admission that the democratic candl-
date and organization were bound by
a formal pledge to favor duty on
sugar. and more than that, differ
entail duty for the refners such as the
Mills bill contained. But this state
ment omits anything about the alleged
reason for that pledge, or any contrl-
button by the sugar interest to the
campaign fund. Right there the IN
vestigating committee took SO much
care not to get at the truth that the
public is compelled to draw its own in
ference. And now it appears, from
statements made in democratic jour
nails, that the president was willing to
90 even further than the senate had
gone in its bill of SALE" and to make
the differential duty for refners fifth
instead of an eighth of cent. 1t IS
further stated that the latest schedule
ia vet retained, but as to phraseology
and detail, the Herald says, "the con-
ference committee has the assistance
and cooperation of Secretary Carlisle
and the advisory counsel OF the presl-
! dent"
! If the three senators who were OF
the democratic campaign committee
The People's friend., 1894-08-24
ind the candidate who is now Presi>

and the candidate who is now presr
dent al made pledge to the sugar ing
terest. and are laboring to carry it out,
how comes the row between them?
Because the president publicly de-
nounced as ''perfdy" the bill of sale
which the senators had framed. In
order to carry any bill, duties had
been fixed on coal and iron ore and on
woolens and cottons, and pledges had
been given that all should stand or fall
together. But the president insists
upon free coal, and declares it dis
honor and perfidy to tax raw ma
terials. Then Senator German an
swers that the president was pledged
to the Mills bill, which put the tax on
coal at seventy-fve cents per ton, and
that there is but one concern in the
world to which free coal would give
any especial benefit" He describes
the contract by which the Canadian
government, for twelve cents per ton
royalty, gave exclusive control OF the
Nova Scotia coal fields to capitalists OF
the Canadian Pacific, and certain
gentlemen within our own country as
sociated with them," and says:
Here are Boston, and Providence and New
England which consume the soft coal OF the
two Virg!nias, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
We are nearer to It,, the Canadians sa1d
we can deliver the coal there and drive the
Americans out of their own territory. Give US
free coal, and we will sweep this American in
dustry from New England If you do you VIII
place in the Canadian treasury money which
ought to go into the American treasury. You
were thus asked to permit the greatest comDl-
nation Of its kind to enter the United states.
Mr. President, we have trusts enough to deal
with now l shall never agree that foreign
trust shall enter our territory, and take the
substance from our people"
1t is obvious enough that the people
of the two Virginias, Maryland and
Pennsylvania will be disposed to ap-
prove the position Of the senator in
this matter, and not that of the presl'
dent who acts as agent for the Cana
dian government and the Nova Scotia
coal syndicate. Yet the conference
committee was trying to make com
promise between these opposing in
terests-as if it were possible by any

ANOTHER TARIFF BLUNDER.

E,rtbar Evidence Of Democratic Incom'
petency Discovered in the Senate Bill
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-lmporters
and merchants here claim serious
blunder has been made in the tariff
bill. Under the proposed law cocoa
nut oil is admitted free of duty, but
conra. which is the raw material OF
which the cocoanut oil is manutac
tured, is subjected to duty of 30 per
cent.
COBRA is the raw, sun dried product
81 the cocoanut, and cannot be used
for any other purpose than making
cocoanut oil, chiefly used in the manu-
facture Of soap. Copra is not prepared
and cannot be used as dessicated CO.
coanut and has always been duty free.
Twelve leading firms have united in
telegraphing protest to Washington
urping a correction of what they be-
lieye to be an error made through lg-
norance Of the articles being footed.
In their telegrams to Pacific coast con-
gressmen they say:
"Cocoanut oil being on the free list,
it is evidently a mistake to place duty
on the raw material, which is only tit
to make it.
s.Please try to place copra on the
free list. as heretofore 1t is of vital
interest to this country and will result
in South Sea island trade
