There are many Republicans who, like ourselves, may be unable to compre-- i bend the complicated sugar schedule of the Dingley tariff bill. But there are many who, like ourselves, look with the utmost suspicion upon this sugar schedule when we see its results In the enhanced value given to sugar trust stock. The present Republican Congress has voted against the law. The present Republican congress has voted in favor of continuing the treaty with the Hawaiian Sugar TrusL The present Republican Congress has voted against a sugar bounty to American farmers. The present Republican Congress has voted in favor of a sugar bounty to Hawaiian farmers. The present Republican Congress knows that the Hawaiian "farmers are the Hawaiian Sugar Trust. The present Republican Congress has made favorable rates on nearly every product which is controlled by a trust. And now the present Republican Congress has by its legislation enhanced in value the stock of the Sugar Trust br anti-tru- st The Ding ley tariff, through which we were promised prosperity in spite of the gold standard, is found, on analysis, to furnish high protection to those industries that are controlled by powerful trusts, and to none other. Strong opposition to the law has developed among the Republicans themselves. Gov. Pingree of Michigan protested in advance against the passage of the bill. The excessive tax on lumber was supposed to be pleasing to the people of Michigan, but Gov. Pingree disclosed the fact that only the few millionaires who own the Michigan pine forests would be benflted, at the expense of everybody else. As to the tariff on hides, for the benefit of Phil Armour et al., Gov. Pingree says. The hide men (a great trust) will coin millions out of the new tariff; it will be made up from the 25 cents that they will collect from every man in America whenever he- - buys a pair of shoes. Some people may say Im kicking because the new tariff hits my business. That isnt the reason. Im not going to lose anything. The leather man will raise his price of leather to me, and to keep even Ive only to raise the price of shoes The man who buys the shoes at an increased price is the one who will kick." 190,000.000. ed ld one-eight- AND GARDEN. Klng-Dev- ll King-Dev- e, The 'Argonaut is a pretty good Republican paper, and always has been, but it freely admits that it does not quite understand how the Republican party can go before the people with these indictments against us. There has always been more or less suspicion in the minds of the people concerning the affiliations of Republican administrations and Republican leaders with trusts. The Republican journals have always repudiated these suspicions with indignation, but what can they say now when confronted by Democrats with these accusations? la there any reply to be made to them? If so, we do not know what it la "We can not understand the action of the Republican Congress, which action seems to be approved by this Republican administration. To ns it seems like the action of men bereft of their wits. One thing is sure it will drive the Republican party from power. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.
