BUT these hgures give very inadequate
idea of the extent OF the Dlngley donation
to the sugar trust. There are two record
ed results which are more easily under
stood The first OF these Is the advance OF
sugar trust stock from 100 is TO IA. The
original Dingley bill passed the house
March 81, 1897 On March 80 common su-
gar stock was quoted at 100 lis low, and
preferred stock at 100h. The tariff bill
was passed and signed July "a. 1897, and
on Monday, July &c, common sugar stock
was quoted ut IA low. and preferred stock
at i12&. There is S37, 500, 900 of each kind
OF stock The advance after the original
Dingley bill passed therefore amounted TO
Sl2,6s7 GOO on common stock and s4,593, 900
on preferred, or total OF ST.. 2e0, coo in
direct advance Of stock values. The low
point Of sugar trust stock in 1896. under
the Wilson law, and before the Mckinley
yietory insured an increase OF bounty to
the trust. was 80 for common and 92h
for preferred.
The other result was the advance in the
price OF sugar, which, in 1897, was con-
trolled absolutely by the trust. From the
time the tariff change was assured the
trust hurried up the Importation of raw
sugar and by the time congress got
through with the bill, four months later.
IL had in its warehouses 1.600 600, 900
pounds OF raw sugar, 1t advanced the
price of all grades of sugar from March
80 to July 80 Just one half cent per pound,
making profit on this raw sugar stock
alone OF Ss,00O,00o. Everybody knew that
this scheme was being worked and Secre-
tary Gage, who had not then been fully in
itiated In the administration policy, urged
that an internal revenue tax of cent
pound be imposed on sugar as an offset to
the benefits given to the trust, but Me-
Kinley and Dingley and Mark Hanna
would not deprive their friends of their
share OF the spells. II may be added that
Secretary Gage estimated the PROFITS ex-
actly. for, Notwithstanding Mr.. Have
price OF all grades OF sugar is now either
exactly 1 cent a pound higher than on
March so. 1897. or within a small fraction
OF It.

This goes to show that corporations do
not have as much weight with congress
as has been asserted, In 1888, when Mr.
Havemeyer represented his own retineries,
the ways and means committee gave the
refners considerable protection. When
the Mckinley bill was under consideration
he went 10 the ways and means commit

AS to this 1t may be mentioned that in
1855 the democrats controlled the house
by a slight margin, but did not control
the senate. The president was repub-
lican. 1t will also be remembered that at
that time there was no sugar trust, as it
now exists. There was combination OF
sugar reflners and II acted with combna-
ton Of sugar growers from the Southern
States, who maintained that sugar was an
agricultural product and was entitled to
protection for sectional reasons to give the
South some compensation for protection to
manufactures of the North. But notwlth-
standing this influence in the democratic
party the tariff bill of 1888 did not repre-
sent democratic sentiment in the Forty-
seventh congress, and especially as to
sugar. The house prepared and passed a
bill reducing the tariff on AN average 20
per cent The senate made new bill and
passed it with a majority Of the demo-
Gratis opposing. The house refused to con-
cur and a conference committee was ap-
pointed which put the duty on sugar nigh
er than either house had put 1t. The demo-
Gratis in the house opposed the report, out
1t was adopted by the republicans with the
aid Of the Pennsylvania democrats, under
Samuel j. Randall and few others In
the senate the report was adopted by
majority OF one, with the democrats OPP
posing and the republicans supporting It,
and the sugar schedule was especially de-
nounced by the democrats. or the Indiana
delegation, every republican in both senate
and house voted for the law of 1888, every
democrat against 1t.

"Liberty of Man, Woman and Child"
with many othor Of his most brilliant
sketches.

"do not use any assault may have

1t is the summum bonum. 1t was

1t superseded Greek patriotism, Ro-

and patriotism would not be needed"
Mr. Ingersolps arguments were of
the reductio 40 absurdum kind. One
day in talk on the cars with Tai
mage he said:
"Then you would like to live in q
place, Brother Talmage, where every
one had to be good by law?"
"Certainly," said Talmage.
"You would like to live where

"And whore every man would

said Talmage, smiling and striking
his knee with his open palm.
"Well," said Bob, looking over his
glasses, "you'd better go up to Sing

Beechor was very fond of Bob In

Beecher was always joking the great
