Democratic Sentinel, Volume 18, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 June 1894 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 5 [ADVERTISEMENT]

The following interesting passage occurred the other day, in the Senate, during consideration of the sugar schedule: Mi, Aldrich, alluding to statements made in the senate yesterday regarding the all ged influence f the sugar trust in the, framing of the McKinley bill, said while there was a sugar trust in 1890, it was not the , igan'ic concern it is now, aud speculation iu its snares was comparatively trivial. Mr. est retorted that in three weeks then the shares went up 35 points.

“There were then,” he said, “the same lies, the same falsifications, the same attai ks on public men as have characterized the consideration of the pending bill.” Mr. Sherman also insisted that the trust of 1890 was not the trust of to-day. “Do ycu know what the capital of the sugar trust of 1890 was?” asked Mr. Brice. “ T do not,” replied Mr. Sherman “It was $50,000,000,” said Mr. Bi’iee. “The stock of that corporation went up from 63 to 95. The stock advanced $20,000,000 in vir > tue of the action of your committee.” “Between wh it period did this fluctuation occur?” asked Mr. Aldrich. ‘•Between May and October,” replied Mr. Brice emphatically, adding, as he turned ou his heel, “after the representatives of the sugar trust had made their a reenunt with those who controlled the bill.”

Mr. Aldrich protested tt at he did uot understand wh t the senator from Ohio meant by an agreement oxisting between the sugar trust and those in power in 1890, but lie did know that the sugar trust had dictated the sugar schedule in the present bill. “Wlu f dictated the protection in the McKinley bill?” inquired Mr. Vest passionately. No one.” “The sugai trust,” said Mr. Vest, “and you yourself admitted it. In the Record you said you could not resist the arguments of the Philadelphia sugar refiners.” Poor Aldrich! Recently Senator Turpie gave him a most complete and well deserved skinning, and in the above controversy sen ators Brice and Vest trip him up.. With the blood full of humors, the heated tens is all t o more oppressive Give the system a thorough cleansing with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla aud a dose or two of Ayer’s Fills, aud you will enjoy Summer as never before in your life. Just try this for once, and you'll not repent it.

DON’T BREAK RANKS. Under the above head the New York World tenders some strong and sensible udvioo to n roan who writes that papoi saying that in his opinion the performanoes o. certain democratic senators in connection with the tariff bill iH enough to make an honest man who voted the strai’t democratic ticket feel ashamed of himself for having done ho, and adds that he himself will never vole that way again, as follows: We can understand the state of mind of oar correspondent asd even sympathize with him, but ajl the same this is foolish talk. Admitting that the present demoemtio senate is a frying-pan for honest tariff reformers, what can they gain by jumping into the tire? Perhaps our exasperated friend, who now thinks bo is an ex-democrat, has an idea that be will be a republican. Does tariff reform lie that way? Suppose it be conceded that a few unfaithful democrats have betrayed the Wilson bill to the protectionists and disappointed the masses of the democratic party. Is that any reason why genuine democrats should deny the faith and for. sake the only political organization that is committed to tariff reform and through which only, under existing conditions, it can be seonrad? This is not the first time in the world's history that a good cause has been set back by the weakness and corr ptionjof the men chosen to advance it. Nor will it be ho last. The present crisis is grave and the craven way in which it is being met is discoaraging. But there is no reason why democrats should give qp in despair. On the contrary, there is every reason why they should stand firm. Even if the battl* of reform has to be fought over again, the fact that it was twioe won so thoroughly before the people id full of encouragement. If necessary it can be won over again even though one incident of the fight be the sending of recreants to the rear. Democrats should close up their ranks and confront with undaunted spirit the oldlfoe and all hie fresh allies. Dandruff forms when the glands of the skin are weakened, end if neglected, baldness is sure to follow. Hall’s Haig Renewer is the best preventive.
