BRYAN on HAvEMEYER's STATEMENT

Chicago. June Is-william j. Bryan who was in
Chicago to-day. said concerning the statement of
President Havemeyer Of the America Sugar Rein
ing Company before the Industrial Commission:
We will find out lot about these combinations
before we get through with them. Here is Have
meyer. who has made millions through the agency
OF combinations. saying these things which are in
variably inimical TO labor. could not live were It
not for the high protective duties. Now these du-
ties were put there by the Republicans when they
got In power. and they will remain long as the
Republicans stay in power. but the fight OF next
year will not be made on the trusts which will
constitute purely or n comparatively collateral
issue: the hfgh-tarin duties and the consequent
combinations which follow in their wake are the
result OF the victory in 1896 over the money OF
people. as against the money of the men who
age the trusts.
or course just as Mr. Havemeyer says "the peo-
pie are plundered through the tariff laws" but we
must go back OF the tariff II want TO find where
the real reason lies. This Sugar Trust magnate
mas not said anything that has been said scores
OF times before. but never by so prominent an ad-
vocate OF trusts. Mr.. Havemeyer has some object
In view In making his statements but what IL is
or course. cannot say. These of millions
away dollars: every move Is calculated: they say
and do things for the effect they will have: they do
not talk IDLY, but they are busy men. Therefore
what was Mr.. Hayemeyer's object In making the
declarations he did? We Will have TO wait for that
