SUGAR: ALOSTO OPPORTUNITY
FOR REAL REVISION.
NO. xxx.

Argument is Of small utility when
1t aims to convince people who are not
subject to conviction. That was what
lost the day for the Bristow amend
ment to strike the Dutch standard of
color from the tariff bill.
1t was magnificent fight which the
insurgent Republicans and the Demo
Gratis put up. With the exception OF
the two Senators from Louisiana, the
Democratic vote was cast sohdlv for
the Bristow amendment. With the
Democrats voted these Republicans.
who ought to be given full need of
credit by their people for the courage
and determination with which they
stood against the Sugar trusts graft
even when it meant sure defeat:
Brown of Nebraska, Beyeridga of In
diana, Bristow OF Kansas. C.apD of
Minnesota, Crawford of South Dakota
Cummins OF Iowa, Deliver of Iowa.
johnson Of North Dakota, La Toilette
OF Wisconsin, Nelson of Minnesota.
The opposition to the Sugar trust
mustered 80 votes, while AZ votes were
cast for the program which continues
the power of the monopoly. But the
vote does not tell the whole story.
The argument was all made on the side
OF the Bristow amendment The on
position did not make a respectable
showing. Had it been an original prop
osition, anything but a proposal to
strike out of the law a provision which
has become ossified into it, there would
not have been, on the fact OF that two
days discussion, an excuse for any sin
cere man to vote for the color standard.
The defeat which has been encount-
cred win be no Encouragement to the
men who made this fight. Never before
has it been possible to get an honest,
frank, open discussion of the Dutch
standard joker. Never has the truth
been told, the real inwardness of this
vicious provision been pointed out thus
publicly. The ease is at last before
the public Public opinion will do the
rest. in time. It will take time: but
with the whole truth now set before
the country. there can be no doubt
about the final outcome. The color
standard viii finally be stricken ont
Of the law of this country, and the
Sugar trust will cease TO fatten of
the necessities of the people.
The Washington Times may be par
doned for felieitating itself on the
showing made in the fight which the
8iunsey newspapers started in this
matter The whole argument which
was made from beginning TO end Of
the Senate discussion was but repeti
ton and elaboration OF the arguments
presented by this newspaper The dis
eovery and exploitation of the fact
that the Dutch color standard was the
real, concealed protection of the Sugar
trust, was first made by the Munsey
newspapers and published time and
again in the course of their discussion
Of the sugar question. Constant ham
merine viii wear the stone; and con
slant iteration and reiteration of the
truth about this vicious and excuse
