THE NEW SUGAR SCANDAL.

Trusts, -
| Is the country to be afflicted with a
second sugar scandal? Are the s.sen-
ators from Havemeyer" ex-officio men,
bers of the Finances committee, and are
they to be permitted to dictate the i'm.
portant sugar schedule? = Chicago
Evening Post Qnd. Rep).
The senate committees bill, wbeth-
er designed to do so or not, will give
the trust great advantage should it
become law. For that reason the
country is bitterly opposed to the sen.
ate sugar schedule, and if the senate
will heed the voice of the people that
schedule will not be embraced in The
Pew tariff. indianapolis Journal
Rep).
The storm over the sugar schedule is
steadily increasing. All the examina-
lions which have been made since its
report, instead of clearing it up, only
make it look the blacker. It has appar-
emily been made of very complicated
character to battle analysis and TO dis
guise job, but, intricate as it is, il
does not conceal the fact that it en-
braces very large differential for the
benefit of the trust. This conviction Is
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories OF personal profit in connection
with it.-Philadelphia Press (Rep.).
The specific charge by responsible
newspaper in Chicago that three men,
bers of the senate speculated in the Sc
crets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule on the senate tariff bill
had been framed. and profited $4,000
BY the transaction, is altogether too
serious to be treated by the senate
with contempt or indifference.
The peculiar influence which the
magnates of the sugar trust have ex-
erted in the framing of the new sugar
schedule has already created suspicious
as to the integrity of the trainers of the
bill. If the charge against the alleged
Spectators shall not be investigated,
it will serve to strengthen, if not con-
firm, this Observation-Disclosures Bull.

your inquiry of the 7th inst. The explana-
ton OF the recent marked advance in the

changes in the tariff. Under the Wilson bill
they are on the free list, but the Dipeley
Dill provides for a duty which would
amount to something over one cent per has
on the 66-inch eight-ounce burlap. The
price made you on your recent invoice IS
the lowest which we can offer on the pres.
ent market. Yours truly,

Pettixrew's Amendm..t.


Senator Pettigrew has introduced ar
amendment to the Dingley bill which
provides for the admission free of duty
OF articles controlled by trusts. Should
1t become law and be carried ont hon.
estly how much revenue would the bill
yield? There are trusts in sugar. coal
window and plato glass, lumber, pot
terry, wall paper, rubber, cutlery and
in nearly all kinds of hardware. There
is no trust in tea, but that is probably
because there has been no duty to en-
courage it. There are also trusts in the
wooden and cotton industries. Revenue
will be scarce if such a law should be
enforced. But will those elected bv
trust funds destroy the system which
fosters trusts? They may pass some
such law. as they did the Sherman anti
trust law in 1890. but it will be only an
other dummy.
