since they have got Democratic major
ity in congress, they begin to feel that
Democracy and the threat of free trade
are not good things for the men or
money engaged in the oyster business.
One of them said to- me: During tho
past season 1 have not sold, as far as
money represents, one-tenth of the
oysters that used to sell before we put
all these Democrats into congress.
"That seems an enormous difference,
loss of 80 per cent in your oyster
trade" said.
"Well, he replied, II have not sold
90 per cent less Of oysters, but have
not sold half as many oysters this season
as / used to, and those that l have sold
have been for less money, and even this
less money have not been able to col
lect. f"
''That is pretty hard lines" 1 said,
smaller sales, smaller prices and
smaller collections. "
Eyes, was the answer, land. take it
all along this side of Long Island, the
number of oysters sold have been just
one-half Of what they were before we
got Cleveland. Where we have oyster
beds to supply the New York market
| and the American trade, it IS there that
we oystermen have suffered. -
elbow does dull trade i'll New York
affect the oyster business?" was my next
question
"Well, it is III this way: If people
are out Of work or not earning as much
money as they used to, they have to re-
duce their expenses, and the first things
they do without arc amusements and
| Injuries. People are not obliged to eat
oysters in order to keep body and soul
together, nor are they obliged to go to
theaters, and when they do not go to
the theaters they do not eat oysters after
the theator, and that's just where we
get left.
"Where do you sell your oysters
MOSTLY"
II used to ship my oysters and sell
them direct to many Of the large res
taurants on Broadway and Sixth ave-
nue., and 1 can tell you that they have
been buying less and less oysters from
me steadily. 1t is not SO much that
cannot collect my money, but collections
are harder, and where used to come up
once a week and have no difficulty in
collecting every dollar owing to me
now am sometimes asked to wait q

Week, Or perhaps TWO or three weeKs,
by some of the Sixth avenue restaurant
keepers. And besides this we have to
sell our oysters for less money. 1t is
hard to get just what will pay actual
working expenses and the wages of the
men who are working for us.
"There is no tariff ON oysters"
said, "and the Democrats say that it is
the tariff that prevents business. There
fore as there is no tariff on oysters the
oyster trade should be rushing, and peo-
pie should be scrambling and fighting
for oysters -
He looked at me sharply and said:
whats yer givin us? What affects our
oyster trade is the general prosperity of
the people of the country If people are
working, they have money to spend; If
they have money to spend, they will
have some amusement and luxuries. l

SUGAR IN CONGRESS.
1.-THE POOR MANS SUGAR. WORRIES
THE HEAD OF THE TRUST.

MIR. Havemeyer's Evidence Before the Conn
mittee Is Torn To shreds-Faise and Mis-
leading Statements Designed to Deceive.
Not One-third of "Poor Mans Sugar"
spoke OF the different grades of refined, the
higher grades OF refined being made from high
er grades OF raw, and the lower grades OF re-
fined-the poor mans sugar-being made from
the lower, 1t not being possible to be made out
of the higher grades of raw.
The discrimination was against the article
which supplied tho poor man with sugar and
against the article on which the greatest
amount OF capital and labor Is employed In Its
manufacture and the cost Of manufacture gen.
orally Is expended.
The foregoing paragraphs are taken
from the testimony Of Mr.. Henry o.
Havemeyer, tho president Of the Sugar
trust, as reported in The World, June
10, in answer to. questions propounded
by Senator Gray and Senator Davis of
the senate investigating committee
Those were the statements of Mr.. Have
meyer.
The facts are that over 20 per cent Of
the sugar imported into the United
States is high grade and less than 30 per
cent is low grade sugar. 1.-THE poor
man" uses high grade granulated sugar,
which can be made out of both high and
low grade raw sugars. The yellow
sugars are not found now on the tables
of the people, and the darkest colored
sugars are used mainly for tobacco cur
ing and such purposes, very little in
deed going into direct human consump-
ton.
From Mr.. Havemeyer's testimony 1t
is plainly inferred, and was meant to be
inferred. that "the poor man" would
be oppressed by specific tariff on raw
sugar, and there is further inference
that "the poor mans" sugar consti-
tutes the bulk of the sugar refining bust
ness, as not one person in half million
out of the total population Of the United
States knows to the contrary.
The American Economist has been to
the trouble Of compiling statistics to
show what were the aggregate imports
of raw sugar, according to each and ev-
cry grade by which the duty estimated
under the tariff act of 1883 was col
lectable. 1t compiled these imports for
the whole period under which that
tariff was in operation, beginning with
the year ending June 80, 1884, and
closing with the year ending June 80,
1891, and gives the aggregate imports
for the eight years and the average i'm.
ports for each year, according to each
degree, as follows:
