Hamilton, who was one of the !ramefs

the return to the rate which gave q
'differential'' of only y! cents per
hundred pounds. The senate conferees
urged that an additional protection be
given to the beet sugar growers, and as
result the rates were advanced by
the conference committee. but in a
manner which left the "ditferential'
precisely that named by the house bill,
i. e., ~ cents per hundred pounds.
This is generally conceded to be no
more than the actual cost of refining,
and does not therefore give the sugar
trust any advantage. The fact that
sugar trust stock advanced incidentally
when the action of the conferees be-
came known has led to the charge that
the action of the committee was in some
way advantageous to the trust. The eN-
PLANTATION of this advance, however, lies
in a different direction. The sugar
trust had imported during the past few
months over seven hundred thousand
tons of raw sugar, knowing that the
amount of increase in tariff rates OF
the new bill would enable them to
real re an enormous profit. The fact
that the trust had this enormous
amount on hand and would probably
ma profit on it caused the stock to
advaLce from time to time, for it was
known that the profit which the trust
would make upon this specula-
ton would figure in the neighbOrhooG
to 100000 million dollars. But
shadow was cast upon this question of
an enormous profit by the fact that
Secretary Gage had recommended TO
congress that an internal revenue tax
of one cent per pound be placed on ali
unrefined sugar in the country at the
time of the enactment OF the law, and
it was not until those who were
watching this subject were convinced
by the report of the conference com
mittee that this internal revenue tax
would not be imposed upon the sugar
in hand that they became assured OF
the enormous profits which the trust
would make upon its stock Of sugar
thus accumulated. When they Were
assured OF this fact it was apparent
the ulNlueuuS WnlCu UDe trust
would be able to pay in the ensuing
year by reason of the advance in the
100000 tons of sugar which they held
would be enormous, and the value of
its stock correspondingly advanced. 1t
was this fact, and this only, which
caused the advance in the stock of the
sugar trust during the closing days of
the consideration of the bill. Every body
familiar with the subject knows to a
certainty that the bill cuts off the spe-
cial advantages which the trust had
under the Wilson law, and nobody
should be fooled by the claim of the
democrats that the advance in stocks
of the trust was an evidence that the
new law is advantageous to, the trust.
1t gives to the reiners barely the diff
ference between raw sugar and refined
sugar, or the actual cost of refining,
and nothing more, and that, it is con-
ceied, is Justice.

THE completion of the tariff bill and
the analysis of its sugar schedule by
the highest authorities in Washing ton
and New York shows the falsity OF the
statements which democratic orators
and editors have been parading that
the bill is advantageous to the sugar
trust, and especially shows the falsity
of the charge that it is more advanta-
geous to the retiners than the Wilson
law. The bill, as framed by the house,
made the rate on refined sugar l23
cents per 100 pounds, or of cent per
pound greater than the average rate
on unrefined sugar. Since it is assert
ed that sugar cannot be refined for less
than ! of u cent per pound, this differ
ence, or .'diiferential' as it is termed.

advantageous to the trust. The senate
increased the differential by reducing
the rates on raw sugar, and this action
was criticised as giving the sugar re-
