Nothing could so profit the democracy
as an open and lmplacablo war between
IL and the sugar trust Nothing could

people as the hostility OF this monopoly

The party leaders should accept the
challenge az once and offer broader
challenge In return. They should strike
out OF the tariff bill not only this, but
all concessions TO the tyrannical mo-
nopoly, and bid IL do It's worst.
What the result. az far az the senate
has got II shown In the seedules printed
today. IL is not the bill which the people
want; II IS not what has been promised
them; and n Is safe 20 say that IL is not
the tariff bill which VIII be enacted. The
house will have something 20 say regard
ms sugar, coal, iron and several other
things.
This means many millions OF extra
proht % the trust. IL also means I'M
mense loss TO the treasury. There Is
disposition. therefore, among the demo-
cratic leaders % rescind this part OF the
program. The sugar trust threatens, II
this IS done. to- wreak vengeance upon
the party In power by putting up the
price OF sugar on the eve OF the election.
We cannot get rid Of the United States
senate but we have mastered the chinch
bug. Or. Porter and Or. Forbes, direct
ors OF the Missouri and Illinois expert

pests. We may be able TO ind quick
and quiet death for senators before the
next tariff year. Science is Improving
all the tirle.-St. Louis Republic (dem).
While It is an everyday fact that
Hi is fooling nobody by his cowardly
course In reference TO the tarim bill, this
fact does not deprice him Of the power
TO knife the democratic party now as he
has tried 70 do before. The democratic
party Is fortunate IN two senses In not
nominating Hill at Chicago. His nomin-
alton would have meant defeat, or his
election would have meant disgrace TO
the democratic party Montgomery Ad-
vertiser (dem.).
The republican party stands by the
trusts now as II always has done and
always will do. The party margin Ia
the senate is narrow. The republicans
simply said 10 the trusts: Corrupt three
or four democrats; we are already cor
rupted and Will stand by you TO the end.
II the German bill goes through you are
fairly provided for; IL the Mckinley bill
be continued in force you own the coun-
try. In either event your position is i'm
pregnable. Louisville Courier-Journal

And we are not to assume that Mr..
| Havemeyer and his associates Of the
! sugar trust are the only men in the
country who understand AID play this

meyers statement, with possibly some
notifications. will serve for many
| another protected interest and trust.
! And it will serve TO explain why so many
| professed democrats are very fair tariff
| reformers before election and very bad
| ones when it comes TO legislation. There

| Mr. Henry r. Reeds testimony before
| the sugar Investigating committee in
| Washington was particularly interesting
| in that part Of it where he informed his
| inquisitors that the character of the
| arguments addressed to senators in 1890
! in behalf Of sugar did not differ from
| those which have been addressed to
| them dflring the consideration Of the
| present sUga@schedue We have no
| doubt that Mr.. Reeds memory serves
| him web on this subject, which is where
| his memory differs from the Mckinley
| senator's who are now waxing so indig-
! nant over the influence Of the sugar
monopoly that they helped to create

| The tendency is universal, and it leads

/ foundations Of free government are be-

ED" Murphy got his slice Of the pork
| yesterday At the demand Of the sena-
J tor from Troy the democratic majority
/ of the upper branch consented to mark
up the duties on collars and cuffs to a
J prohibiIory rate. for the benefit Of a few
! manufacturers in Troy. The republic
! ans heaped ridicule upon their opponents
for this action, and every word they said
( was justified. Such performances are a
| shame to the democratic party, as,
! whether done by democrats or republic
! ans they are reproach to the nation.
There is only one compensation. The
people are fast getting so sick Of Nc
/ Kineyism in the one party and Murphy
( ism in the other that they will insist
/ upon a tariff reform which really re-
! forms. Murphy can give the Troy man.
! ufacturers a little longer chance to roll
! up fortunes at the expense Of the whole
. country, but this very success only has
tens the day when such outrages will be
stopped.-N. Y. Post (dem).
But bad as any tax on raw wool is,
to Incorporate il in the senate bill, al
ready overloaded at many points with
odious prohibitory duties, would simply
be intolerable. The original Wilson bill
by the confession of its author, retained
I many protective" wooden duties high
: enough for any but the most Unsuitable
monopolists, and higher than moderation
required But the present senate bill
propose still higher rates in several
paragraphs of the wooden schedule. on
wooden and worsted cloths, shawlS, knit
goods and blankets it lays the almost
prohibitive duty Of 80 per cent. ad valor-
en-; on all clothing and wearing apparel
another extraordinary duty OF 40 pei
cent: while on cloaks, jackets and other
outside garments for ladies and children
