THE TARIFF BILL.
President Cleveland Writes Mr,
Wilson an Epistle.
HE EXCORIATES THE SENATE.
While Senator. Have Bonn Truo to the
Tru.t., They tlnve ltcen False to Their
Tru.t Ilcmocratlo Member, of the
Finance Committee Aiuased.
Washington, July 21. The position
taken by President Cleveland in his let
ter to Chairman Wilson of the Ways and
Means Committee Is astounding. His
attempt to dictate to Congress during
tho progress of the conference report Is
unprecedented. Democratic members of
the Finance Committee are amazed, and
say there has been nothing like it since
the Stuarts tried to dictate to Parlia
ment. Had it not been for a few cool
heads, the Senate would have refused
further conference and Cleveland would
have been reprimanded by resolution for
unwarranted interference. The Demo
cratic party is in a state of ferment never
experienced in the memory of those
here. Its members declare that they
were forced to swallow Cleveland's silver
policy and to indorse his course in the
strike, the latter through fear of public
condemnation ; for, had he been a Re
publican President, they would have
criticised him, and now he attempts to
dictate the terms of a conference agree
ment. Had the consideration of the confer
ence report taken place in the Senate to
day, the President would have been
fiercely denounced by his own party. No
act has caused a greater sensation in
Washington. Many Democrats are ask
ing where he will stop. The Democrats
of the Senate say he had better draw up
a bill, approve it ana declare it a law
and proceed to enforce it. But under
neath it all they are cowards, and refuse
to have their names used. They will for
the most part meekly submit. Cleve
land will not win his point, because his
enemies will insist upon the Senate bill,
and they will bold the Senate to it.
THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER.
The letter was marked personal, but
Mr. Wilson obtained the President's per
mission to have it read in the House of
Representatives. The full text of the
letter is:
"The certainty that a conference will
be ordered between the Houses of Con
gress for the purpose of adjusting the
differences on the subject of tariff tenia-,
lation makes it also certain that you will
be called upon again to do hard service
in the cause of tariff reform. My public j
life has been bo closely related to the sub
ject, 1 have so longed for its accomplish
ment, and I have so often promised its
accomplishment to my fellow-countrymen
as a result of their trust and con
fidence in the Democratic party that I
hope no excuse is necessary for my ear
nest appeal to you that in this crisis
you strenuously insist upon party hon
esty anil good faith and a sturdy adher
ence to Democratic principles. I believe
these are absolutely necessary conditions
to the continuation of Democratic exist
ence. " I cannot rid myself of the feeling
that this conference will present the beet
if not the only hope of true Democracy.
Indications point to its action as the
reliance of those who desire the genuine
fruition of Democratic eUort, the fulhll
ment of Democratic pledges and the re-
demption of Democratic promises to the
people. To reconcile differences in the
details, comprised within the fixed and
well-defined lines of principle, will not
be the sole task of the conlerence, but,
as it seems to me. its members have in
charge the question whether Democratic
principles themselves are to be saved or
abandoned.
" There is no excuse for mistaking or
misapprehending the leeiings or the tem
per ol the rank and file of Democracy.
They are downcast under the assertion
that their party has failed in its ability
to manage the government, and they are
apprehensive that efforts to bring about
tariff reform may fail, but they are much
more downcast and apprehensive in their
fears that Democratic principles may pe
surrendered. Under these nece.-sary cir
cumstances they do wisely to look with
confidence to you and those who with
you have patriotically and sincerely
championed the cause of tariff reform
within Democratic lines and guided by
those principles. This confidence is
vastly augmented by the action under
your leadership of the House of Repre
sentatives npon the bill now pending.
" Every true Democrat and every sin
cere tariff reformer knows that this bill
in its present form and as it will be sub
mitted to the conference falls far short
of the consummation for which we have
long labored : for which we have suffered
defeat without discouragement; which
in its anticipation gives us a rallyingcry
in our day of triumph, and which in its
promise of accomplishment is so inter
woven with Democratic pledges and
Democratic successes that our abandon
ment of the cause and of the principles
npon which it rests means party perfidy
and party dishonor.
"Une topic will be submitted to the
conference which embodies Democratic
principles so that it cannot be compro-mi.-e.i.
We have in onr platform and in
every way possible declared in favor of
the "free importation of raw materials.
We have attain and zain promised that
this should be accorded to our people and
onr manufacturers if the Democratic
party was invested with the power to
determine the tariff policy of the country.
Jhe party has now that power. We are
as certain as we have ever been of the
benefit that would accrue to the country
from the inauguration of this policy, and
nothing lias occurred to release us from
our obligation to secure this advantage
to our people.
" It must be admitted no tariff meas
ure can accord with Democratic princi
ples and promises or bear the genuine
Democratic badge that does not provide
for free raw materials. In these circum
stances it may well incite our wonder
that Democrats are willing to depart
from this most Democratic of all tariff
principles and that the inconsistent ab
surdity of such a proposed departure
should be emphasized by the suggestion
tnat the wool ol the larmer be nut on
the free list, and the protection of tariff
taxation be placed around the iron ore
and coal of the corporations and capital
ists. How can we face the people after
indulging in sucn outrageous diserimi
nations and violations of principles? It
is quite apparent this Question of free
raw material does not admit of adjust
ment on any middle grounds, since their
subjection to any rate of tariff taxation
great or small, is alike a violation of
Democratic principle and Democratic
good faith. I hope you will not consider
it intrusive ll 1 say something In rela
tion to another subject, which can hardly
lail to be troublesome to the conference.
I refer to the adjustment of tariff taxa
tion on sugar. Under our party plat
form, and in accordance with our de
clared party purposes, sugar is a legiti
mate and logical article of revenue
taxation. Unfortunately, however,
incidents have accompanied certain
stages of the legislation which would be
submitted to the conference that have
aroused in connection with this subject
a national Democratic animosity to the
methods and manipulation of the trusts
and combinations. I confess to sharing
in this feeling, and yet it seems to me we
ought, if possible, sufficiently to free
ourselves from prejudice to enable us to
coolly weigh the considerations which in
formulating tariff legislation ought to
guide our treatment ol sugar as a tax
able article. While no tenderness should
be entertained for trusts, and while lam
decidedly opposed to granting them un
der guise of tariff taxation any oppor
tunity to inrtner their particular meth
ods, I suggest we ought not to be driven
away from the Democratic principle and
policy wnich laaa to the taxation ot su
gar by the fearquite likely exaggerated
that in carrying out this principle and
policy we may indirectly and ordinarily
encourage a combination of sugar-refining
interests. I know in the present
condition this is a delicate subject, and
I appreciate the depth and strength of
the feeling which its treatment has
aroused. I do not believe we should do
evil that good may come, but it seems to
me we should not forget our aim is the
completion of the tariff, and in taxing
sugar for proper purposes and within
reasonable bounds, whatever else may be
said of our action, we are in no danger
of running counter to Democratic prin
ciples. There must be in the treatment
of this article the same ground upon
which we are all willing to stand, where
toleration and conciliation may be al
lowed to solve the problem without de
manding the entire surrender of fixed
conscientious convictions.
"I ought not to prolong this letter. If
what I have written is unwelcome, I beg
you to believe in my good intentions. In
the conclusions of the conference, touch
ing the numerous items which will be
considered, the people are not afraid
that their interests will be neglected.
They know that the general result, so far
as tney are concerned, win be to place
home necessaries and comforts more
easily within reach and to insure better
and surer compensation to those who
toil. We all know that a tariff law, cov
ering all the interests and conditions of
a country so vast as ours, must of a ne
cossity be largely the result of honorable
adjustment and compromise.
" I expect very few of us can say, when
your measure is perfected, that all of its
features are entirely as we would prefer.
i ou know how much 1 deprecate the in
corporation in the proposed bill of the
income tax feature. In matters of this
kind, however, which do not violate a
fixed and recognized Democratic doc
trine, we are willing to defer to the iudg'
ment of a majority of our Democratic
brethren. 1 think there is a general
agreement that this party duty is more
palpably apparent when we realize that
the business of our country timidly
stands and watches for the results of
onr efforts to perfect tariff legislation ;
that a quick and certain return of pros
perity waits upon a wise adjustment,
and that a confiding people still trust in
our hands their prosperity and well
being. The Democracy of the land pleads
most earnestly for the speedy completion
of the tariff legislation, which their Repre
sentatives have undertaken ; but they
demand no less earnestly that no stress
of necessity shall tempt their trustees
to the abandonment of Democratic principles."
A COUP D'ETAT
Tho Mosquito Indians Surprise
the Nicarnguan Forces.
CHIEF CLARENCE TRIUMPHS
The Mo.qulto Indian. Attack the Gov.
rnnient Fore on tho Bluff, and
Capture the Arm. of. the Nlearaguan
Soldier. Va.t Uneasiness Felt.
New Ohi.ianh, July 21. The first re
liable news from Blueflelda since the
outbreak of hostilities there was brougl
here to-day by the steamships Gussle
and John Wilson, which arrived within
a few hours of each other. The vessels left
there July 10, and at that time thesitua
tion In the Mosquito reservation was
quite serious and threatened to develop
into a regular war beforo long. After
the removal of General Lacayo, whose
dictatorship brought about his downfall
through the demand of the United States
government everything went along
peacefully at the reservation. Young
Chief Clarence of the Mosquito Indians
resided in niueflelds under the protection
of the British Consul and the American
warship, and nothing of note transpired
until July 6, when some Indiana and
some Nlearaguan soldiers became in
volveu in a brawl on the streets of lilue-
fields and two of the soldiers were killed
This caused a great deal of excitement,
and it was feared that attempts of the
new commissioner, eenor caisezas, to
arrest the rioters would result in more
bloodshed.
That night, however, before the au
thorities bad time to perfect their plans,
the Indians executed a coup d'etat, which
changed the whole aspect of affairs, and
winch, the Mcaragnans charge, was In
cited by the Americans. About the
middle of the night the Indians made an
attack on the blulla. where theNicara-
guan troops were quartered, and, driving
them on, captured all the arms ana am'
munition and fortified themselves in the
stronghold which Lacayo had built for
his soldiers. Une hundred or more in
dians, said to have been commanded by
Young Clarence himself, embarked on a
llatboat and stealthily moved around to
the bin lis, until they were directly op
posite them, and before the sentries were
aware ol what was going on opened lire
on the bluffs and on the troops, who had
been suddenly called to arms. The Wic
araguans wero so surprised that they
fled. It is said that two or three soldiers
were killed in the attack.
The next morning the cruiser Marble
head landed fifty marines, and quartered
them near the International Club to pro
tect American interests. This was
deemed necessary, owing to the hostility
of the Spaniards, who attributed the
midnight attack to the Influence of the
American residents. .The Commissioner
immediately set to work to rally his
demoralized forces, and sent word to the
interior bv a courier for reinforcements.
After the landing of the marines there
were no more hostilities, tnongti the in
dians were still in possession of the bluffs.
it was reported that the Indians in the
interior were preparing to move on clue
fields in large numbers to annihilate the
Nicaraguans, and though they have not
yet materialized, there is a vast amount
oi uneasiness mere.
This attack has resulted in increased
tension between the American residents
and the Nicaraguans, and it is said that
the JNicaraguans nave warned several
Americans to leave under penalty of
death, but so far these threats have not
been put into execution. There is no
British warship at Bluefields. the Magi-
cienne having left there nearly a month
ago. The Nicaraguans have seized all
the lighters used in loading the fruit
steamers, and are preparing for a regular
campaign against the Indians as soon as
the expected relnlorcements arrive.
WANTS AN ACCOUNTING.
The Sealing- Fleet.
San Francisco, July 21. News has
been received of the death of James
Crew, captain and owner of the sealing
schooner H. C. Wahlberg, in the hos
pital at Hakodate from lung fever. Cap
tain Charles Sorenson of the schooner
Alexander has also died at the same port.
Four vessels with their entire crews, viz.,
the Matthew Turner, Captain Christo-
f hereon; M ascot te, Captain Charles
fagerman ; Rosie Sparks, Captain Todd,
and the Unga, Captain John Anderson,
have all been lost during the season, and
are at the bottom of the Japan Sea.
Vt ltb the exception of the losses above
named the season has been fairly suc
cessful. The welcome intelligence has
been received that the Mary H. Thomas,
the Alton and the Rattler have all
reached Yokoboma, and the Rattler re
ports having spoken the old San Diego,
which bad been given np for lost. The
Alton reports a catch of 1,150 seals, the
Marr H. Thomas 1,080 and the Rattler
1,100.
Fox Allege, a Conspiracy by Mackay
and Other, to Defraud.
San Francisco, July 21. Theodore
Fox has begun suit against John W,
Mackay and John P. Jones, C. K. Fish,
R. Wells and Cornelius 0. Connor to
obtain an accounting of the affairs of the
Consolidated California and Virginia
Mining Company. Fox alleges that be'
tween $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 have been
wrongfully appropriated by the defend'
ants. He further says that Mackay,
Jones and the late James C. Flood con
spired to manipulate the mine wholly in
their interests ; that the Comstock Mill
and Mining Company was paid $7 a ton
for crushing ore, when (4 would have
been a fair price, and as Mackay, Jones
and flood controlled the mining com'
pany, they received the benefit of the
over charge, amounting to about $2,000,
000. Fox also claims that the ore was so
crushed as to leave the most valuable
part in the tailings, which, when worked
over by the mill, yielded to these three
conspirators an additional profit of tz.
500,000. There is also a complaint that
Mackay, Jones and t lood caused to be
issued to themselves 33,309 shares of
stock at $1 per share, which stock was
afterwards worth in the open market
$687,016. Fox demands an accounting
of all these transactions and judgment
for such amount as the accounting shall
show to be due.

Paclfle In.urance ITnlon.
San Francisco, July 21. The Pacific
Insurance Union proposes to make a
radical change in the system of collect
ing premiums on its policies, in view of
the abuse of the credit system. It is
probable that a general order will be
made makings all premiums payable in
cash, or by note at 7-per-coot4nterest 'or
the period of accommodation. No policy
is to be delivered or risk covered unless
the assured complies with this arrange
ment. A further change in connection
with policies contemplates the limitation
of a payment to three-fourths of the loss.
Both changes are ascribed to the exist
ence of industrial disturbances.

Italian Troops Successful.
Massowab, Egypt, July 22. A large
body of Dervishes recently raided Car
cabot, an Italian village, killed many in
habitants, and sent into the interior as
slaves all not massacred. The Dervishes
marched through Agordat with the in
tention of capturing that place. The
Governor-General with 2,400 troops, na
tives and Italians, alter tiree days, weary

Washington, July 21. Senator Mitch
ell has been sending to the Fish Cora'
missioners numerous petitions and re
quests which he has received from differ
ent persons and organizations in Oregon,
asking that something be done to prop
agate the salmon in Oregon streams.
Recently Commissioner McDonald sent
to Senator Mitchell a reply to those aug'
gestions in which he points out some of
the reasons why efforts to establish sal
mon hatcheries by the United States
government are not always successful.
The requests were that there be estab
lished in the Columbia basin a hatchery
which would turn out 100,000,000 salmon
fry each year. The most pertinent por
tions of the reply of the Commissioner
are here given :
Under the present circumstances
there is no location on the Columbia
river or anv of if. IrihntArie. u-horo wo
could cotuit upon obtaining 5,000,000
eggs, much less 1(10,000,000, unless pos
sibly in the neighborhood of Astoria,
where it would be necessary to utilize
the fall run of fish for the purpose of
obtaining eggs. At this place no effective
work could be done except by the hearty
co-operation of the fishermen and the
definite agreement with them in advance
as to the aid that they would render.
unaer tne existing regulations of the
fisheries both in Washington and Ore
gon it is possible at any time for men
fishing to obstruct completely any river
and catch all the salmon which may
enter it. To incur any expenditure of
money for a hatchery under these cir
cumstances would in my judgment be
unwise.
" We have a hatchery on the Clacka
mas, and if this stream were unobstruct
ed by nets or dams, we would have
obtained by diligent use of resources
probably 12,000,000 or 15,000,000 eggs.
The present season we have had to aban
don work on the stream for the reason
that a dam has been erected which is
practically impassable for salmon; and,
urtnermore, the net-nstung below It is
so exhaustive that the entire run of
salmon is taken. This condition will
arise on any river where there is any
considerable run of salmon sufficient to
make it an object to undertake it, and
as we can only contemplate the estab
lishment of hatcheries upon rivers where
there is a considerable run of salmon, it
is evident that at any time, under the
State laws of Oregon and Washington as
they now ' stand, the usefulness of the
hatchery may be entirely destroyed.
" I fully realize the urgent necessity oi
taking proper steps to improve tne
s&inion-fiuliinB of the "Columbia, river,
The preliminary work wnich would JUS'
tily expenditure nv tne general govern'
ment must first be done by the States,
The season of net-fishing must first be
lestricted. No net-fishing should be
permitted and no obstructions in the
way of dams allowed on the tributaries
of the Columbia where the government
may establish hatcheries."
The Commissioner says that the man
who would be employed on the Clacka
mas has been sent to the Sandy river to
hold the salmon and collect the eggs, but
he has found that a fisherman has erected
a wheel at a point where it is desirable
to work, which renders it entirely im
practicable. The control of the stream
can only be obtained by paying the per
son with the wheel to take it away. Mr
McDonald continues:
"Such interferences will arise wher
ever we attempt to go, and parties will
be found everywhere who will make it a
business to interpose obstructions if the
policy is once established of paying
them. I should advise tbat any appro
priation made by the government for the
erection of salmon-hatching stations on
the Columbia river should be accom
panied bv the proviso that no expend!
tine is to be made on this account until
the States of Oregon and Washington
have established such regulations in re
gard to the Hellenes and such exemption
in reference to the Btreams as may be in
the judgment of the United States Fish
Commissioner necessary. It is probable
that we might be able to select certain

Satolll Renders a Decision Condemning
the Liquor Traffic
New York, July 21. Monsignore Sa-
tolli has just rendered a decision con
demning the liquor traffic. He approves
of the expulsion of the liquor dealers
from Catholic societies. This unmistak
able decision was called forth by an ap
peal from the ruling of Bishop Wattcr
son of Columbus, O. During the last
Lenten season Bishop Watterson ad
dressed a letter to the clergy and laity of
his diocese, dealing wholly with the tem
perance problem. One of the societies
laid the matter formally before Monsig
nore Satolli. To this appeal the apos
tolic delegate has just reponded. He
sustains the position of Bishop Watter
son, and says:
" The liquor tratllc. and especially as
conducted here in the United States, is
the source of much evil; hence the
Bishop was acting within his rights in
set king to rertrict it. Therefore the del
egate apostolic sustains Bishop Watter
son's action, and approves of his circu
lar and regulation concerning saloons
and the expulsion of saloonkeepers from
membership in Catholic societies."

PULLMAN'S POLLS.
Another Outcome of the Great
Railway Strike.
QUITE AN UNUSUAL SIGHT,
At Pullman the Presence of the Mllltla
Was Necessary to Preserve Order
During an Election Laundry Girls
Attacked by Women.
Chicago, July 21. The unusual sight
of militia to preserve order at the polls
was witnessed at Pullman to-day. At
tho sixth primary district polling place
of the Thirty-fourth Ward, located at
the Pullman engine-house, a fight was
waged between the factions supporting
John W. Miller and Frank Robey for
nomination for the Third Senatorial
district. Miller's interests at the Pull
man polls were in charge of Alderman
Chadwlck, while the American Railway
Union candidate, Robey, was supported
by a large crowd of the strikers. The
latter claimed that their men were not
having fair play, and that Miller had two
of three judges and all of the clerks.
They placed William Birkhoffat the polls
as a challenger, and Alderman Chadwlck
demurred, claiming that Birkhoff was
not a resident of the district. This
caused a lively row, and for a time it
looked as if the crowd, which had rapidly
increased, would clean out the polling
place. The police were notified, and sent
a patrol wagon with Lieutenant Bassett
and eight officers to the scene. At the
same time some one sent for the troops,
andtwodetachments of Company F, First
negimenc, were sent on the double quick
to the polls. The show of force pre
vented any trouble, and the police drove
tne crow a dock, i ne result of the elec
tion was the return of the union dele
gates by a vote of 244 to 104.
Jo more trouble occurred until 4
o'clock, when the laundry girlsquit work.
When they left tho works they were sur
prised by a demonstrative crowd of from
700 to 1,000 women and children. Several
policemen were on hand, and gave them
protection. No arrests were made. The
police were not accustomed to dealing
with a crowd of the feminine gender.
and did little more than keep the most
turbulent women from seizing hold of
the frightened girls. At 5 o'clock fifty
Hollanders, who have been employed
about the works as lumber shovers and
track graders and repairers, left the
works for their homes in Roseland.
They had a guard of sixteen policemen,
commanded by Lieutenant Bassett.
Scarcely had they reached home when
100 strikers surrounded them. The
police charged the crowd several times
with a liberal use of clubs before they
dispersed.

ITALIAN SENATE.
Crl.pl Wants to Turn Emigration From
America to Africa.
Rome, July 23. In the Senate to-day
Prime Minister Crispi in the course of a
speech referred to the recent capture of
Kassala by the Italian forces. He an
nounced reinforcements wero not re
quired to enable the Italians at Kassala
to maintain their position. Neither
would it be necessary for them to further
expose themselves in battle with the
Dervishes. Criopi added that It was to
be hoped Italy would find means to col
onize Africa. The great object to be at
tained was to substitute emigration to
Africa for emigration to America. The
capture of Kassala has not altered Italy's
relations with the powers, ller relations
with Great Britain are excellent. On
motion of Cavaletti the Senate expressed
its thanks to Crispi and the President
of the Senate for their devotion to the
service of their country. The adoption
of the motion was the signal for an un
usual scene. The Senate then adjourned
for the summer recess.

Northern FaoiHo Coal Miners Did Not
Sign the New Scale.
Roslvn, Wash., July 23. Six o'clock
Saturday evening the "time expired' for'
the acceptance of tiie contracts of its
late employes by the Northern Pacific
Coal Company, and at that hour no sig
natures had been received, and it was
tacitly understood they could not settle
with the company short of a 10 per cent
compromise. General Manager Kangley
was here until late in the afternoon,
when he left for Tacoma. The impres
Bion prevails with many that the com
pany will conduct no further negotia
tions for a settlement with old employes,
but take immediate Bteps to secure
new force of men. From the unusual
activity on the part of the local manage
ment it is evident some preparations are
being made to that end. It has been
given out that the demand for coal makes
it imperative to start tne mines uy Aug
ust l, it IB pretty certain that, if the
company proposes to work the plant on
the terms proposed in its contract, it
will be necessary to import miners, ior
tue old miners have by standing out
practically declared their positive inten
tion not to accept the new schedule of
prices for work. The Impression is gen
eral in camp that, if new men are brought
in, they will be negroes to the number
of 400 or 600, and that their entrance
will be under the protection of the sol
diery, l he Introduction of colored mill'
ers here in 188!) engendered a very bitter
feeling.
It is scarcely to be presumed that the
local miners will submit to their coming
in without demonstrations of some char
acter. A home guard of about 190 men
was organized here two weeks ago, and
the body has been drilled almost daily
since, Having attained considerable pro
ficiency in (out movements. Weapons of
no character are produced on the drill
ground or in parade, but it is rumored
arms have been secured, to be used if
there is a demand for them. The men
as a rule have been exceedingly quiet
and orderly Bince the inauguration of
the strike, and it was thought by some
that thediuerences between the company
and men couiu ne settled without ex
treme measures. May 1, when the men
went out, there were about 650 employes
on the pay roll, and very few have left
for other fields. The Inactivity of the
mines has occasioned a complete paral
ysis to local business.
HARTER TO HAVKMETKR.
The Representative Writes the President
of the Sugar Trait.
Washington, July 23. The following
letter from M. D. Harter, Chairman of
the House Subcommittee on Trusts, to
II. 0. Havemeyer, President of the
American Sugar Refining Company, was
mailed to-day : .
"If you supply to me, as Chairman of
the Subcommittee on Trusts and Manu
factures, the information asked for here
in, I will see that it Is laid before the
public. A free trader myself, and believ
ing no tax should be levied on sugar (nor
anything else) except for revenue ; never
theless, as practically every article of
general consumption is to retain protec
tion, i ieei no prejuaice against tne sugar

The Commission Chosen.
Washington, July 23. It is stated on
what is considered reliable authority that
the President, in addition to Carroll D.
Wright, has chosen Judge Lyman Trum
bull of Chicago and a prominent New
Yorker, who has always taken a deep
interest in the cause of labor, and whose
judgment in questions of this kind is re
garded as fair and impartial, to serve as
members of the commission to investi
gate the Chicago strike. The name of
the New Yorker, it is stated, has not
been mentioned, exvpt in confidence to
one or two of the President's advisers.
It is asserted that he has accepted, and
as soon as Judge Trumbull indicates his
acceptance, the commission will be announced.

Congress and the public its real condi

merits of its demand may be formed.

taxpayers, men sugar has as much justi

when figured up on an actual cash and
un watered capital stock, then yon. as a
fair-minded man, will agree with me
that you should not have any legislative
favors. In such an event a tax of 1 cent
per pound upon 100-degree sugar, for
revenue only, would be a fair and equita
ble one, permitting a reduction of one
hundredth of a cent for each degree of
sweetness lacking. Such a tax as this,
while taking nothing from the treasury
of your company, would pour a great
many millions into the government cof
fers. The information asked for is com
prehended under four heads :

refiners an opportunity of collecting from
the consumer a tax of one-half of a cent

all classes of sugar during the paBt three

pounds, fully 9.000.000.000 of which were
above this limit. It follows therefore
that the sugar trust and independent re
finers in the United States must have
received over $40,000,000 of the people's
money, while the government received
during the three years $470,751. As your
company has asked certain favors, the
propriety of supplying the country with
the information asked herein will not
be questioned by so reasonable a man of
business as yourself. You are a Demo
crat, and will, I trust, join me in the
hope that within a few years the present
wretched system of taxing the people
(under the misleading notion of protec
tion) for the benefit of private interests
would be done away with entirely and
