Democratic Denunciation, of the Perfidy of the Siiffnr( Deal The Trust Has Had Its Way In the Senate. Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.). The Susrar Trust has had its way In the Senate. None of the Democratic Senators ! voted against it except Senator Hill, and the desire among the rest of the party was to Isolate him. He can afford to be isolated. Before this thing is through some of the men who voted for this trust on Tuesday will be lovers of solitude and candidates for forget fulness. Hill has net been speculating in sugar stock. Had Edward Murphy, jr., been speculating in thes stocks? Mr. John IL McPherson has. So haa Calvin H. Brlce. So has Richard Croker, although he loaded up before he retired from politics, being able easily to retire because he loaded up. Concerning Faulkner, Gorman, Morgan, Arkansas Jones and the other fellows conclusions will not be erroneous that they voted for their interests when they voted against their principles. The trust had Its way throughout. Whether men like David B. Hill or dislike him, he does not market his vote. He does not speculate in stocks which legislation can put down or up and he does not add to the game of politics, which at times he plays like a desperado, the gamo of finance, which sundry of his colleag-ues play . like highwaymen or bunco steerers, according to the audacious or sneaking character of their temperament. Tuesday was a day of shame in the Senate of the United States. It was a day when Republicanism, even through the unfragrant Chandler, could taunt Democracy with jobbery and robbery. The sting of the taunt was not in its source, but in its truth. BIG PRICES PAID. Even $100,000 was not too high a price to pay for a United States Senator, and we wonder if it was paid? If 5G00.000, Just as one Installment, was sent from the trust's headquarters In New York to the branch office which the trust has lately opened In Washington, the sum was not too much for the work required. The action of the Havemyers. the Cord Meyers, the Halls, the Searles, the Jim Seymours and the like is being defended in some papers on the ground that the present tariff bill, after all, does not treat sugar I more ravorably than the McKiniey tariff law does. This is the printed defense. These men and their dupes, agents or tools can hardly help laughing In one another's faces when they read it. The heresy and betrayal of adding hundreds of millions to the cost of sugar to the people of the United States will not he condoned by the fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been added to the fortunes of United States Senators and the politicians who control them. The blocks of stock which the Sugar Trust holds for these United States Senators under disguises which investigation in earnest could easily penetrate, may close the account between the Senators and the trust. The account between the Senators and the Democratic party is not closed. It will remain open. The present scheme of the trust to put sugar down low at first, for appearance sake, and then to put it up a little higher, for gain's sake, and finally to force It up to 130, for reasons which they well know, may be carried out. That is a matter between them and their cattle. It will be watched with interest. The shame of itl The shame of it! Is what honest Democrats feel. Every step since suspicions were convert ed to facts has been a step of shame. When the lights were turned cn the ways and means committee and on Bourke Cockran and on the traces of the conspirators generally In Washington last December there was Democratic disbelief. Exposure then was followed by robust denials. The denials were false. They have been shown to be false. THEY TOLD THE TRUTH. Some of the correspondents told the truth. They were arrested and commanded to tell who told it to them. They refused, but showed how the truth or falsity of what they said could be determined. The truth of it has been determined substantially in every respect. Yet these men who told the truth have been handed over to prosecution in order to make a hubbub about newspaper recklessness and contumacy, the better to create a cover for the conspirators who have induced Democratic Senators and Representatives to put the fattening of their poeketbooks above the honor of their party, the pledges of their President and of their platform and the prosperity of their country. The stcry of shame and crime will probably go through to the end. Happllv, nowever. Congress is not the p:ople. The people will have their Innings w.en Congress completes its innitgj. Con 'ires w li fin I that the p.ople win n-t b through witn them when they are thr ug.i with the Sjgar Trust, and the Sugar Truit M find tnat the people will not be through with it when it 1 through with Congress. This is going to be a gool year for hon-CFtj-, aftrr all. It is going to b? a good year to live in and worn in. An lmrm-nse lot of housocleaninT will b? done in November.
