Ia the country to be afflicted with q
second sugar scandal? Are the Senators
from Havemeyer" ex-officio members OF
the finance committee, and are they to
be permitted to dictate the important
sugar schedule?-Chicago Evening Post
(nd. Rep }.
The senate committees bill, whether
designed to do so or not, will give the
trust a great advantage should 1t be-
come law For that reason the country
is bitterly opposed to the senate sugar
schedule, and If the senate will heed
the voice of the people that schedule
will not be embraced in the new tariff
Indianapolis Journal (Rep.
The storm over the sugar schedule Is
steadily increasing. All the examina-
tions which have been made since Its
report, instead of clearing it up, only
make it look the blacker. 1t has appar-
emily been made of very complicated
character to battle analysis and to dis
Kuise a job, but, intricate as 1t Is, 1t
does not conceal the fact that 1t en-
braces very large differential for the
benefit of the trust This conviction il
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories of personal profit in connection
with t.-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 prohted $50, 600
by the transaction, is altogether too seri-
GUS to be treated by the senate with
contempt or indifference
The peculiar influence which the
magnates of the Sugar trust have exerted
in the framing of the new sugar sched-
ule has already created suspicious as to
the integrity of the trainers Of the bill
If the charge against the alleged specu-
lators shall not be investigated, it will
serve to strengthen, if not confirm,
this suspicion. Philadelphia Bulletin
