LETTER FROM CARLISLE.
Senator Harris had on his desk letter
from the Secretary of the Treasury
bearing upon the question of free sugar.
to be read in the Senate during the
morning hour. 1t was understood that
for the reason that if this revenue of
$43, 900 was stricken off, the treasury
will be compelled to issue bonds. Later
the letter was read. He says it would
be unsafe in view of the condition of
the Trasury to put sugar, iron, coal,
and barbed wire on the free list, as it
would create a deficit.
Mr.. Berry moved that the sugar bill
be called up for action.
Mr.. Harris said in view of the strong
letter of Mr.. Carlisle and the danger
of deficit he would move that they
be referred to the Committee on Finance
where they would be dealt with as was
deemed best for the interests of the
Government.
Mr.. Berry made a strong plea for i'm
to go on record. The Senate had been
charged with benig favorable to the
Sugar Trust, and he wanted the people
to know just how that body stood. He
| was in favor of the House bill as it
came to the Senate.
Mr.. Henderson wanted to know how
Mr.. Berry voted on the differential, but
he declined to yield.
Mr., Berry said he did not want tie bills
buried in committee.
The Democratic Steering Committee of
the Senate has agreed to refer all pop
gun tariff bills to the Finance Commit
tee.
The bill reached the Executive Man
sion at eleven o'clock.

WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. 15 1884,

saying he would take occasion later to
in his own way.
He did say, however, that the Tariff
bill in its present form is nothing more
nor less than a bill for the protection of
the seats of Democratic Senators. He
could not see how President Cleveland
can veto it, because by doing SO he would
send his whole party to- smash. If he
does veto it, he withstand before the coun

in fact he so characterized such a course
when it was suggested in the recent
silver agitation.
