new PHASE OF
SUGAR DUTY FIGHT,
Republicans of Beet Sugar States
Threaten to Vote to Remove
Tariff on Refined Sugar.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Jan. 24.-A move is being
made by Republican representatives OF
beet-sugar States looking to union with
the Democrats for the purpose OF remov-
ing the tariff on refined sugar.
These Republicans are angered at the
Sugar Trust dictated agitation for free
raw sugar from Cuba They declare that
the success Of this undertaking would mean
death to the beet-sugar interest, and they
propose free refined sugar in retaliation, be-
lieving that 1t will result in death to the
American Sugar Trust at the hands of the
German and Austrian sugar Kartell.
Republican members from California, Ne
braska, Michigan. Wisconsin. Ohio and Ken
lucky have been approached on the sub
ject, and it is to be held over the heads
of the Sugar Trust as a threat.
Mr.. Leavitt Of Nebraska and Mr. Bradley
Of Michigan. beet-sugar growers, were
heard at the session of the Ways and
Means Committee this morning in opposition
to a reduction of duties. Both asserted that
the Sugar Trust was behind the movement
in question. Mr.. Bradley pointed out the in
justice of giving the aliens of Cuba an ad-
vantage over the citizens Of Hawaii, who
had given up the right to import cheap
Chinese labor for the sake of working un-
der the tariff protection of the United
States.
When questioned more closely as to how
could stand. Mr.. Bradley declared that a
reduction Of 10 per cent would not be op.
posed but beyond that Hawaii could
not 20.

is dead in this city.
He was a well-known and respected citi-
zen. For many years he guarded carefully
the fact that he was in any way mixed
up with any plot or attempt on the life OF
President Lincoln, and only few friends
knew of the affair. Some months ago, how
ever, he made the following statement:
'I knew and loved Mr.. Lincoln. and
thought at first that the offer of 100000 to
poison him was joke. At that time was
running a dairy. Among my regular GUS
toners was President Lincoln.

not two weeks before the President was
assassinated-I was driving along, when
two men stopped me and one asked II l
did not want to make 100000 easy and
quick. I scarcely knew what to say. Then
he got right close up to me. leaning over
one side of the wagon, and said:
"'Well. my man. here's 100000 in good
money. Every cent of it is yours if you will
take this little box Of powder and put it

this morning. Pour out the cream in the
measure and put this powder in it. Nobody

He showed me a tremendous big roll Of
money. and it looked mighty nice, but did
not want any of that kind. II it had been
as large as the Treasury building it would

GET A MOVE ON, MR.. KNOX.

United States Attorney General Knox should by
all means reply promptly to the request Of the Joint
Committee Of the American Antitrust League and
District Assembly No. g. Knights Of Labor, urging
him to hasten his already long -belated answer to
certain communication filed with him under date of
September 8, 1901.
This communication courteously asked the Attorney
General to inform the Joint Committee what your
conclusions in regard to the petition requesting
action by the Department of Justice against certain
unlawful trusts, which committee filed with you,
September 6, 1901, and which remained unanswered"
The communication also reminds the Attorney Cen
era that in his letter Of September H. 1901 he made
this specific promise: II will examine these papers
with care at as early date as possible and COM
municate to you my conclusion" The conclusion is
still uncommunfcated
The Attorney General should not neglect his duty
in so plain case as this. Not only the Joint Com
mittee of the American Antitrust League and Dis
trict Assembly No. 66, knights of Labor but all the
American people, are desirous of knowing what
ton he proposes to take against the unlawful trusts
The Attorney Generals failure to supply this informa
ton looks unhappily if he proposes to take
ton against the unlawful trusts and is trying to
smother all communications the subject Mr.. Knox
should get fresh grip on his duty. AS Attorney
General Of the United States he is the of the
people, not Of the trusts.

TO PROTECT THE SMALL SHIPPER.

In the annual report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission strong argument is made for power
to compel railroads to maintain the published tariffs
of freight rates that Congress cannot consistently
fuse to amend the Interstate Commerce act in order
to attain this end.
The relations now existing between the railroads
and certain great shippers such that small dealers
of necessity driven out of business They cannot
compete with giant concerns whose rebates from car
rying corporations in themselves amount to profit
able business The result is that the heavy shippers
thus established in monopoly control of the
situation which is calamtous in it's significance of the
destruction Of competition.
The Republic has already called attention to the
means by which the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion seeks to put stop to these evil practices. The
commission must be invested with power to reach
and punish all carrying corporations guilty of dis
eliminating among shippers. The fact of a departure
from the published tariffs must be accepted proof
of such discrimination. An amendment of the Inter-
state Commerce act is necessary to these
suits.
