D
from the business men of all sections
and all parties, that the bill be allowed
to become a law, bad as it is, in order
that they may have a chance to 90 bus
mess, even if it be poo business. The
second, aud probably the most welghty
reason with Mr. Cleveland, Is the kuowl-
edge that the senate would refuse t.
pass any bill that the senate would re-
fuse to pass any bill that he was known
to wish passed
The pop gun tariff bills fo' free iron,
coal, lgar and barbed wire, which the
house passed and sent u the senate,
are nothing more than excuses to aid
free trade democratic members of the
house to square themselves with their
free trade con tituents. TIE only one
Of them that could possibly get through
the senate is that roviding for free
sugar. and that one the administration
,iD. TIE sugar trust in opposing, Sec
rotary Carlisle and the agent of the
sugar trust are both working in concert
to prevent the pa sage of the free sugar
bill the latter trying t. brighten those
democratic senators whose votes are not
controlled by the sugar trust. by repre-
senting that the money TO be col ected
t rough the ariif on sugar is absolutely
necessary to save the administration
from another issue Of bonds, This argu-
ment does not speak well for Mr.. Car
isles opinion Of the Intelligence of the
democratic senators, as every intelligent
reader of the newspapers knows that
the treasury will not for long time to
come collect any tariff on sugar, for t. e
very simple reason that the sugar trust
has. supplied itself with all the raw
sugar it will need for months, in order
Q cape the payment of the duty. The
real reason why the administration is
opposed to free sugar is that 1t wonlC
knock the sugar trust ont of two cents
a pound which it proposes to add to
the price of sugar.
1t is an open secret here that Secre-
tares Gresham and Carlisle have ad
vised Mr.. Cleveland to sign the tariff
bill and let congress adjourn leaving the
democrats to make the best they can in
dividually of the surrender of Mr.. Cleye-
land and the house, when they take the
stump for the congressional campaign.
But so far Mr. Cleveland has refused to
accept their advice, because he wants to
.sget even" with German and his sup.
porters by writing message to con-
eress explaining his position. The
more explaining he does the more re-
publicans viii be elected to the next
house. For that reason republicans
one that he will send a message to
congress.
Senator Vest made another savage at.
tack on alr. Cleveland in a speech on
Wednesday, during which he let the cat
out of the bag as to his soreheadedness-
lie hasn't been given any pap. He also
arsned that Secretary Carlisle's letter
against the passage of the popgun tariff
bills proved what has all along been con
tended by many OF the democratic SEN
ators, that Secretary Carlisle favored
the senate bill aud not the wilson bill.
There is a rumor here that Mr., CARL lie
wrote that letter without consulting Mr..
Cleveland, for the purpose of making 1t
more CERTAIN that he senate tariff bill
would be allowed to become a law. with
or without Mr. C,evcland's signature,
and that 10 consequence the relations Of
the two men are strained to such an ex
tent S to make the resignation # Sec
re,ary Carlisle probability.
Republicans consider the work Of the
session DONE and so many Of them have
gone home that the enate is already
without quorum nd likely to remain
so. 1t is probably because Of the
knowledge that nothing can be done
that certain democrats senators have
become so very sohcitous that some bill
should be passed that will take away
the profits that they have deliberately
vol to give the sugar trust There Is
democratic hypocrisy on every hand .
The senators are merely irving TO keep
