i"rher letler, IL Was me intention al
the democrats To talk the treaty [,
death unless they Gould get all they
commended for, oud when The republi.
cans saw them liue up as one man un
der the able leadership of Hon.
Arthur Pue German. they capitula
ied and came down like SEQ 70 coon.
IL is the first time il years hat the
democrats in the Senate hnye presen.
led All unbrokeh front To the republi.
cans. When they haye done. so in
The past they imvarlbility have ven n
Eietnry. The trouble hes heen that
in The recent past they have had mu
leadership in the Senate worthy Of
the name. They have il now, and
the results are apparent to the mos,
easul observer. The democrats said
to the republicans that they must add
an amendment To The Cuban recipro
nity treaty that give the House of
Representatives the right to also pass
upon ii before il became operative
because it was legislation that affect.
Ell the revenues of the government,
and that all such legislation must
have the concurrent sa"ctIun of the
House of Representatives; or else il
wonld not be constitutional legisa-
iion. 1t would he practically elimi
mating the House Ne one Of The legis-
)atiun by the Senate exclusively.
II Will he remembered that the
57ih Congress passed law giving
Cuba this reduction in the rates OF
the Dingley law that is asked for,
but it also tackled on to il Il clause
that eliminated the dIfferential on
refined sugar which would save the
consumers nf this country millions of
dollars annually that now go into
the pockets of the sugar trust. For
that very reason the Senate re
fused TO coslder the measure aud le:
il die, II now comes 10 the front
with the treaty, giving the same re-
duction IN tie Dingley rates, but il
does not remove the diflerential on
refined sugar which gives the consu
mer III THE country Il chance, and
clearly is all attempt to play into the
hands of the sugar trust. The re-
publicans have been forced to agree
10 the amendment to allow the House
10 pass On the treaty when it meets
next winter. If they had not az
greed to ii they would not have got
sway from here all summer, or else
would have been forced To abandon
the treaty altogether. The net re
quilt Of this democratic victory vii
be that the House neat winter viii
either add the amendment again
eliminating the difierentisl ON ref nee
sugar, or if il passes the House a
sent to IL b. the Senate, then lii,
democrats in the Senate will open M
the tariff debate in Its entirety anC
consume the whole session in sLeeche
that will be made in open session, anc
will go TO tie country ~ democratic
campaign documents. In eiIhe
event the trusts will get it in tie necI
and the people will be benefited
Score one for tue democrats.
Il is believed here, by the pe0pl
who ought To knuw that the recen
visit to the capitol hy j. pierpoin
Morgan and lis call ON the Presideu
means an extra session # the $751;
Congress, and that il will be Guile
some tine early III the month of Sep
tvmbeT IL is believed that Mr.
Morgan SAID to The President that h
