Washington. June 2S-A caucus of
the Democratic members of the house
of representatives held last night
unanimously adopted the following
declaration:
"'Resolved. First, That we condemn
the Republican majority in congress
for their failure to pass measure
providing for reciprocity with Cuba.
The bill which passed the house of
representatives was heartily supported
by the Democratic minority after the
protection to the sugar trust had been
removed by the solid Democratic vote.
aided by a small minority of the Re
publican members. As it passed the
house the bill carried relief to Cuba.
reduced the price of sugar to Ameri
can consumers and struck heavy
blow at the notorious and obnoxious
sugar trust.
Some Conclusions Are Drawn.
THE refusal of the Republican SEN
atorS to consider this measure unless
the protection TO the sugar trust should
be restored gives evidence that the
president and Republican party in con-
gress are willing to refuse relief to
Cuba and totally ignore American con-
sumers rather than abandon their al
lance with the trusts. The failure
of all reciprocity legislation with Gu
ba rests upon the Republican admins
tration, which is willing to reduce the
duty on the raw sugar of our prOduc-
ers, but unwilling to destroy the su-
gar monopoly.
Accuses the Republicans.
''Second-That the Republican ma
jority in congress is dominated and
controlled by the trusts and mOnOpo-
lies. which have the great Industries
of our country in their grasp. as shown
by its action in passing an antitrust
bill through the house of representa-
tives in the Fifty-seventh congress in
the closing hours of the session-the
senate refusing TO consider the same
as Subterfuge TO tide over the cleo
ton of 1900. That bill has been aban-
doned, and they have ever since re-
fused, and do now refuse and fail, to
bring in any measure to suppress the
trusts. or to favorably report any of
the numerous antitrust bills intro
duced by Democratic members during
this congress.
Policy of the Democracy.
''Third-That we favor the immedi-
ate passage of = measure to amend the
present antitrust law so as to more
fully protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and mo-
nOpolieS. and also Il measure to reduce
the duties on all articles and COM
mOdities manufactured and controlled
or produced in the United States by Il
trust or trusts, so as to destroy such
illegal combinations, and TO reduce the
rate of duty on any article or commod-
ity manufa ctured in the United States
and sold in foreign country more
cheaply than IN the United States.
''Fourth-We oppose the adjourn
ment of congress until the measures
mentioned above have been enacted
into law"
The caucus lasted only an hour and
was devoted to Il discussion of the
terms of the foregoing.
