with Sugar Trust

WASHINGTON, May 13.-"The Min

at Honolulu a $500 900 sugar plant which
is to be placed on the San Jose estate
in Mindora, Philippine islands. This
connects that estate and the Mindora
company, and connects the purchase
of the estate and the Mindoro COM

This statement was made by Repre-
sentative Martin CDemocraD of Colo

inside facts about the Philippine gov
ernment's sale of the San Jose estate
on January last to the Mindora COM
pany.
Mr.. Martin has introduced series of
resolutions probing into the corre-
spondence between the war department
and the Philippine government and all
other papers that might throw light on
the way the New Jersey corporation,
which he believes to be subsidiary to
the American Sugar Refining company,
was enabled to acquire these friar
lands.

that, for appearances sake, they got the
De Gerstorff firm, also of New York, TO
conclude the negotiations. Strong Il

Mr. Martin purposes to continue by
speeches and resolutions of inquiry his
crusade against what he chardcterizes
as "a gross iniquity."

partment who resigned from the ser

Mr.. Reed assailed the physician for

purpose of killing cockroaches.

Outside the court building a giant
mob began to battle early this evening
for vantage points from which to gain
entrance to the night session. So un-
ruly did the mob become that several
deputy marshals were delegated to
preserve order. The throng was then
lined up two abreast. The line ex-
tended around two sides of the court
house and more than a block beyond.
Prosecutor Conkling's address was
severe. He told the jury plainly he
believed DR.. Hyde guilty and for this
reason was working so hard to convict
him. He pleaded the case be disposed
of in this trial. If the present arraign-
ment fails to bring verdict, he init
mated, the defendant would never be
brought to trial again.
AS gentle as Mr. Conklings speech
was severe, was the final argument for
the defense, delivered by Attorney John
H. Lucas. Lucas appealed to the jur-
ors upon the ground that the life of
DR.. Hyde showed him to be an honest
country boy who had never done any
harm. The attorney also called at
tention to the fact that DR.. Hyde S

am a Cleveland democrat. I am
firm in the belief that II the south had
followed steadfastly the lead of that
great man we would now be dancing on
the dishonored grave of the republican
party. If the south had recognized that
he was the captain 1t had chosen, and If
she had been loyal to him as she was to
Robert e. Lee and Jefferson Davis, the
republican party would have been buried
in the ditch OF 1e to /. that it would have
jumped into.
And, therefore, I challenge this pro-
nouncement of Senator Bailey:
"Mr. President. the Senator from Iowa
indicates very clearly the difficulty
which confronted the democratic party
In framing the tariff of 1894. 1t was the
difficulty of dealing with what are known
as raw materials, and the denunciation
OF ex-President Cleveland leveled against
the bill was, as the Senator from Iowa
we'll knows. purely and only because it
did not include many other raw mate
rails with wool in the free list.
I'm other words, Mr.. President, the OBJ
lection of Mr.. Cleveland was that our
bill did not favor the manufacturers as
much as he believed it ought to have
favored them. We are not through with
that doctrine yet. 1 do not pretend that
the democratic party is today in absolute
and perfect. agreement on 1t. I am not
unconscious of the fact that in certain
portions of the union there are men. re-

I would not undertake a discussion of

false logic evolved this piece of manifest

My understanding and the recollection

about it-except the senator from Texas

AM willing to concede the gigantic
mental capacity of Joseph w. Bailey,
i who not yet has attained to his in
tellectual zenith, in the realm of forensic
debate, but am not ready to grant that
Senator Bailey is right, when, from my
standpoint, he Is manifestly wrong. In a
speech In the Senate not a great while
ago the brilliant Texas senator talking
of the Albert Gallatin- Roger @. Mills

cratic party commit the supreme folly

disintegration and final defeat of the

philosophers who complain that the Mo-

a mysterious work. There is not ma
turalist in existence who can satisfac-

| spectacle both in NUMBERS and in intelli-
gence, who still persist in an effort to
force that old whig theory of tariff leg
islation on the democratic party"
The senator omits. Mr.. Cleveland said
that as the English and German manu-
facturers had the benefit of free raw ma
terials, 1t was idle to ask our manufac-
turers to compete with them in any neu-
trail market unless our manufacturers
had like advantages, and so he advo-
Gated free raw materials and tariff
for revenue only on finished products.
New England scorns free raw materials
Mr.. Aldrich says that the policy of free
raw materials means free trade. Pre-
cisely. His dogma Is that unless the
manufacturer accords the producer of
raw materials duty on his merchandise,
the whole protective system will go to
the wall, and that is why every mothers
son of a republican congressman and of
a republican senator from New England
votes for a tariff on raw wool, and be
| 1t remembered that notwithstanding the
enormous duty on wool under the Ding
ley and the Payne tariffs, there are fewer
sheep in the United States and In Texas
In 1910 than there were in 1897. when wool
was free Even in Texas. 500 men are
raising cotton, that Is free, where one
is producing wool, that is taxed.
This question of duty on raw mate
rails will be fought furiously in the
House of Representatives of the Sixty
second Congress If that body shall turn
up with democratic majority, as now
