New York TIme3. We invite attention to a remarkable exhibition of codl mendacity. The Republican leaders in the Senate now Login to sec that in denouncing the Democrats of the Finance Commit tee for the Iavor granted to the Sugar Trt-st in the pending bill they have ac cused and convidted thmselveH. Four years ago, in jpitje of the warnings and protests of the leading newspaper or gans of their pary, they gave the same Trust in the McK"ley tariff a higher rate of protection than the Senate Democrats now propose to give to it, a rate that would yield and has yielded every yf-ar to t,he same Trust' more millions of extorted profit than the rate now proposed by the. Democrats can yield. Moreover, these Republi can leaders votecf, in committee and in the Senate, for arate even higher than that which was finally enacted, for at last wo have the) admission from Mr. Aldrich that every Republican member of the Finance Comaattee in 1890 sup ported the proposition, afterward re ported to and accepted by the Senate, thut the Trust's t uty should be GO cents a huudred. v With this record of their own shame ful course, and tlie record of the enor 1DOU8 profits forced from the people by the Trust under the McKinley tariff, ; the McKinley tariff and the proof thaj was constructed to satisfy the greed of every Trust combination in the land, staring them in the face, these virtuous persons nave presumed to attacK and abuse the Senate Democrats on ac count of their sugar schedule. It re-. ! minds us of a hardened burglar Jectur-' ing a chicken tniet upon the enormity of his crime. But now, vhn their opponents bring before them the history of the j shameful eugr scfiediile in the McKln- ley law, how do tfcfese virtuous and ex plary gentlemen sfeek to defend them- sel vres ? j By bold, downrht, and desperate . lying. 'J'hat is the! word; no other will fuffice. They assett that there was no Sugar -Trust and f.hat there were no certificates or shakes of any Sugar Trust or combination of sugar refiaefs on rhe market of the Stock Exchange until after the enafctaient of the Mcn Klnley tariff in the year 1890. It seems almost incredible t,hat the leaders of the Republican sideiof thei Senate have resorted to this lie, but we shall lay the proof before our readers. We referred yesterday to the brieif press reports of what Mr. Aldrich Had feaid, and ex pressed a hope that jthe official report would permit a construction more fa vorable to him, but jthe official report not only makes th'13 'Senator's offense more glaring, but also brings out the fact that Senator John Sherman the author of the Anti-Trust bill of 1890 was guilty of uttering the same false hood. .' It was toward the close of the day's debate, last Saturday, that Senator Sherman interrupted Senator Lodge to say that he had authority for the as- sertion that "the entire cost of refining sugar is less than one- half of a cent per pound." Both gentlemen were point ing out the enormity of the Democrat ic committee's offense. The following colloquy ensued. We quote from tne oitkial verbatim report on Page G,G84 of The Congresssional Record: ;- "Mr. Vest If the facts are as how 'stated, by the Senator from Ohio, and .he knew them in 1890, when he wa3 a ll.XlllV.. VTA .-.. ...1. l.VVJ V"1"",ILI'1 why did his committee report a pros tective duty in the McKinley bill of GO cents upon the hundred for the Trust, as they did report to the henate ? Mr. Sherman In the first place, the Trust did not exist at t lat time. From information we have just received fiom he highest sources, it could not have existed, i ne trust was organized bud sequcntly. Air. Vest 1 beg the Senator's par don. The Trust was created in March, 1SS7. "Mr. Sherman I beg pardon. I have the official record as to that. Mr. est I have the papers here in which it is shown that in 18S7 that Trust was formed, and in 1890 the Mc Kinley bill was reported and passed. "Mr. Sherman The Trust which dow exists was formed after the pas sags of the McKinley bill. I think there is no question about that, be cause I read the facts in relation to it n the remarks I made the other day which showed that the Trust was or ganized in New Jersey in the latter part of 1890. "Mr. vest liut tne same parties. fhey simply changed their name and went into the State of New Jersey and formed the present Trust, which they call now simply a sugar corporation, but they were the same parties, organ- 2ed for the same purpose. 'Mr. Sherman" " l assented to the hrtai agreement oi the cooler- ence. At that time, noweyer, we naa nona of the facts'which have been de veloped since by the very close exami nation of the subject matter, ana even f we fll nto a mistake; I stated frankly that we did make a mistake in he sugar schedu'e we did not have hp f Aprs before us." ' The eminent Senator who thus delib erately debased himself had said in the Senate, only two days earner, that the Sugai Trust was seven years old. We quote from the verbatim report of his long speech ot Mayji, rage 0,00 J 01 rhe Congressional Record:; A fe years ago most 01 the sugar refiner joined. together and transferred all their property, all their refineries, to a syndicate. I have before me now t list of .refineries ana tneir vine at the time of the making of I the Trust, some seven years ago." He also in farmed the Senate on that lav that the "Suar Trust paid $5,000- OOOcafh in dividends in li8," and that Susar Trust earnings io 18SS equaled 271 per cent, on the certificates. lie also eave tus associates similar siaua- .- ea concerning tne earnioirs 01 ine Sugar Trust in 1S39.' (See Page 6.5G1 if The Congressional Record.) What had.bappentd to Mr. feuerman to that short interval of tvro days? Hid he been told that the tiode had come for the McKinley Republican Senators o staud together in denying that the Trust existed before the passage ot the McKinley tariff? ; What a stupid lie It wail Vby the memorable suit of this Scatq ayainst the Sugar Trust was begun in August. ISSS: Judge Barrett's decision wa? ri in Januarv. 1SS9, and was com- drmed by the Court of Appeals in Jane ... . . . . ? l v. : 1 , 1 . IS90. wnue me jucrviuiey uii wmi.jp I inr on the table of Mr. Sherman's ben 1 ate committee. And the Introduction 1 and the passage of Mr. Sherman' -own Anti-Trust bill were caused In gfet measure of the agitation due to tho wide public discussion oi the question involved in that suit. A few j minutes after Mr. Sherman had thus led the way, Mr. Aldrich fol lowed him. Mr. Vest wa pointing out how the Trusts' protective duty in the McKinley sugar schedule had been in creased from 5 percent, to 40 cents per hundred by the House commStte, and bow the ! stock market fluctuated in those days. We quote again from the official verbatim report, to be found on Page d,G33 of The Congressional Rec ord: i "Mr. Aldrich The Sugar Tritst was not formed at that time. "Mr. VestIt was formed at that time. 'Mr. Aldrich It wa net formed. There was no stock on the market. "Mr. Vest It was formed in 1S87, and the records will show it. It chang ed Its name afterward and west. ..into New-Jersey and got an act of inoorpo ration, but the same companies remain ed in it. "Mr. Aldrich There was no stock on the market. "Mr. Vest The same parties were in it aod it was the same Trust. The proceeding in the courts of New-Jersey show that it was the same Trust, with the same men at the head of it, and the same otILiaU. At 2 o'clock in the morning, on the last night before the bill was reported to tlie House of Representatives, that shedulewas entirely revolutionized, and, instead of 16 cents upon the hun dred pounds protection to the Trust they received 40 cents. The' jump was made from 16 to 40 cents, and in the next five weeks the certificates of the Sugar Trust went up 31 points in the stock market. 4 Mr. Aldrieh-The Sugar Trust was not in existence then, and had no cer tificates. "Mr. Vest They did have certificates and I have the quotations here. "Mr. Aldrich I wish the Senator would find them if he can. "Mr. Vest The Senator from Rhode Island is a bold mm in debite, but he cannot get away from the record. "Mr. Aldrich If the Senator has the record i wish he would read it. I say the Sugar Trust was not inl exis tence and that there were no certifi cates for sale. ' Mr. Vest I say the Sugar Trust was In existence. The Senator has quoted from The New-York Times. Here isastatemenc of the stoak mar ket, showieg that the Trust certificates jumped 31 points in ' the next five weeks." This shows plainly Mr. Aldrich's part in this remarkable exhibition of mendacity. Everybody who pays at tention to such matters knows how prominent the certificates of the Trust were in dealings on the Stock Ex change in 1890. , Mr. Vest showed yes terday that in the course of the year the sales of those certificates amounted to nearly 9.000,000 shares. It would be a waste of time for us to show how widespread was the discussion of ques tions suggested by the existence and operations of the Sugar Trust in 1888, 18S9 and 1890. f This discussion wa? carried on by both parties. We showed vesterday that the original agreement of the Sugar Trust, dated Aug. 16, 1887 is on the official records of Congrass, accompanied by 200 or 300 pges of testimony taken by a commute of Con gress, and that this testimony and the agreement were published by Congress in July, 1888. A copy of the printed report and testimony was deliveredlo Senator Aldrich in 1888, in accordance with the rule3 concerning the distribu tion of documents. But it is useless to point out such proof as this. Mr. Al drich said on Saturday that he had '-investigated carefully" in 18SS "the question of the proper treatment of tlie sugar industry." It is. the height of absurdity for him to assert now that he does not know that the Trust exists ed before the enactment of the McKin ley tariff in 1S90. The Republican leaders in the Sen ate cannot in this way successfully de fend what they did for the Sugar Trust four years ago. DESERVING PRAISE.

The -renort of the minority of the committee on elections of the House of Representatives in the case of A. H. A. Williams against Thomas Settle,has been printed. It was presented by Mr. Woodard and i signed by rive Democratic members of the committee. J Messrs. Woodard of NorA Carolina, Pattersoa of Tennessee, Hayes of Ohio, Denson f Alabama, and Jpnea of Vir ginia, a clear majority of the Demo crats. It is understood tbt at least four remaining Democrats on the com mittee will dissert from the conclusion of the majority report and will vote lor Mr. Williams. ( The report of this minority is an able document and conclusively demon strates that the majority report doe not follow the decision of the Supreme Court of North Carolina in Its con struction of the election law of the State. The questlous which were be fore the State Board of Canvassers are not directly involved, and the result turns chiefly upon the legality or ille gality of the registration. Mr. Williams and his friends are greatly encouraged at the present out look, and conadentlv expect tnat tne milter will be taken up and diBOed of favorably to the contestant during the present esion.

Washington, July 19, The fol lowing is President Cleveland's letter to Representative Wilson npon the tariff situation, which Mr. Wilson read as a part of his remarks in the House this afternoon: i Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., July 2, 1894. ; j PERSONAL Hon. Wm L. Wilson: My Dear Sir: The certainty that a conference will be ordered between the two houses of Congress for the subject of tariff legislation, makes it almost certain that you will be again called on to do hard service in the cause of tariff reform My public life has been so closely pelated to the subject, I haye so longed for its accomplishment, and I have so often promised its relation to my fellow-countrymen, as a result of their trijst and confidence in the Demo-, cratic party, that I hope no excuse is necessary for my earnest appeal to yon tnat in cms crisis you strenuously in-- j sist upoh party honesty and good faith and a sturdy adherence . to Democratic principles. I believe these absolutely necessary conditions to the continual tion of Democratic existence. 1 can not get rid of the feeling that this con ference vill'represent the best if not the orrlyihope of true Democracy, Indl catiens point to its action as the rell of those who desire the genuine fruition of Democratic effort, the fulfillment of Democratic promises to the people. Tv reconcile: differences in the details com promis d within the fixed and well-de fined line's of principle will not be the sole task of the confetance, but as it see Q13 to me, its members will also haye in oharge the question whether Democratic principles themselves are to be saved or abandoned. There is no excuse for mistaking or misapprehending the feeling and the temper of the rank and file of the Dem ocracy. They are downcast under the assertion that their patty fails in abil ity to manage the government, and they are apprehensive tha!:. efforts to bring aboiit tariff reform may fall; but they are much more downcast and ap prehensive in their fear that Demo cratic principles may be surrendered. In these circumstances they cannot do otherwise than to look with confidence to you and those who with you have patriotically and sincerely championed the cause of the tariff reform within Democratic lines and guided by Dem ocratic principles. This confidence Is vastly augmented by the action under your lealership of the House of Repre sentatives upon the bill now pending. Every true Democrat and every sincere tariff reformer knows that this bill in its present form as it will be submitted to conference falls far short of the con summation for which we have long la bored; for which we have suffered de feat without discouragement; which In Its anticipation, gave us a rallying cry in our day oi triumph, and which in its promise of accomplishment is so inter woven with Democratic pledges and Democratic success that our abandon ment of the cause or the principles upon which it rests mean3 party per fidy and party dishonor. One topic will be submitted to the conference which embodies Democratic principles so directly that it cannot be compromised. We have in our plat form and in every way possible de clared in favor of the free importation of raw materials. We have again and again promised that this should be ac corded to our people and our man'ifac turers as soon a3 the Democratic nirty was invested with the power to dator mine the tariff policy of the country. The party now has. that power. We are ascertain to-day a3 wj have ever been of the great benefl; that would accrue to the couotry from the inaugu ration ot thi3 policy, and nothing has occurred to release us from our obliga tion to-secure thi advantage to our ople. It must ba said tha. no tariff measure can accord with Democratic principles aud promises, or bear a gen uine Democratic badge, that does not provide for free raw materials. In the circumstances, it may well excite our wonder that any Democrats are will ing to depart from this, the most Dem ocratic of all tariff principles, and that the inconsistent absurdity ot sumi a proposed departure should be empha sized by the suggestion that the wool of the farmer be put on the free list and the protection 01 tarin taxation be placed around the iron ore and coal of carporations and capitalists. How can we face the people alter indulging in such outrageous discriminations and vi olations of principle? It is, quite ap parent that tms question 01 iree raw materials does not admit of adjustment oh any middle ground, since their sub jection to any rate of tariff taxation, greater small, is alike violation of Dem ocratic principles ana Lemocratic gooa laith. I hope that vou will not consider it intrusive if I sari something in relation to another subject which can hardly fail to be trouble-oma to the conference. I refer to tne adjustment of tariff Ux ation on suzar. Under o-ir party piat form and In accordance with our de- declared party purposes, sugar is a le zitimte and losncai article or revenue taxation. Unfortunately, however, In cldenu have accompanied certain stages of the ieetslatlen p which will ue sod hi it ted to the conference, that have aroused, in connection with this sub ject a natural Democratic aaimotdty to the methods and manipulations of trusts and combinations. T confess to shirine-in this feelins: and yet it seens to me we ousrht II possible to suffici ently free ourel?es from prejudice to enable us oollv to weigh th consider ations which in formulating tariff legis lation ought to guide c-ur treatment oi susrar as & taxable article. While notea- derness should be entertained for truitf and while I am deci leJly opposed to granting them, un ir the guise of tanfl taxation, anv opportunity to luixaei , their peculiar methods, I suggest thai ought not to oe anvea away iru.u the Deuwc-ttic! principle and polic) which leA to the taxation of sttgar, by the f.-i , qu;te likely exaggerated, that m cany it gout this principle and pot icy e may indirectly and lnordlitely encourage a combination of sugr rt iiuirg interests.! I know that in pres ent cosditious this Is a delicate saij '.et and 1 appreciate the depth and strength if the feeling which its treatment ha iroined. Id not believe that we should d3 evil that good mv corn? but it seems that we should not forget that our alms la the completion oi the tariff S. Gov't Report fm uiu, uu tQit m taxing sugar lor pro per purposes, and within reasonable bounds, whatever may be said ofour action, we are in ho danger of running counter 10 Democratic principles, Wi;b all ther is at stake there must be in tne treatment 01 this article some ground upon which we are all willing to stand where conciliation may be al lowed to solve the problem, without demanding the entire-surrender of fix ed and conscientious convictions. ' I ought not to prolong this letter .f If what I have written is - unwelcome; 1 beg you to believe In nay good inten tions. In the conclusions of the con ference touching tha numerous items will be considered, the people are not afraid that their interests will be neg. lected. They know that the general results as far as these are concerned will be to' place home neeessaries and comforts easier within their reach and to insure better and furer compensa taion to those who toil. We all know that a tariff covering all the varied In terests and conditions of a couotry as vast as ours -must of a necessity be largely the result of an honorable com promise. I expect very few of us can say when our measure is perfected that all its features are entirely as we would prefer. You know hew much I de precated the incorporation into the proposed bill of the income tax lea, ture. In matters of this kind, however which do not violate a fixed and recog nized Democratic doctrine, we are will ing to defer to the judgment of a ma jority of our Democratic brethren. I think there is a general agreement that that 1 his Is a party duty. This is mori palpably apparent wnen we realize' that the business of our country timid ly stands and watches for the result of our efforts to perfect tariff legislation that a quick and certain return of pros-' parity waits upon a wise adjustment and that a confiding people still trust in our hands their prosperity and well-. oeing. rne Democracy of the lands pleads most earnestly lor the speedy completion of the tariff legislation which their representative have Under taken; but they demand not less earn estly that no stress of necessity shall tempt those they trust to the aban donment of Democratic principles.

This was indeed, beardli "v: lion in nis den. He also took occasion soon after he entered the Senate to make a speech on general topics, ana in this, too gave evidence that he was not to be a mere figure-head in tlie Sen ate. In a word, Senator Walsh is a man who not only has opinions of his own, but is always redy to advocate them, either before the people or in the halls of Congress. He believes himself ever ready to give good rea sons for the faith that is In him. Mr. Wateh is again presented before Che country in tha Baltimore Mauufac turers'Record of this week as a political seer. U.3 has been interviewed by 13s Record, and comes out for building t;.c Nicaragua canal and in favor ot provid ing for an international bimetallic con ference. He says that it the United States Congress has the fores;ght to do these two things, he believes that pro-? perlty will return to the .farmer, the r.echaaic and the laborer, and that the capitalists and manufacturers will fiad new fields for iayeiueul and new markets for their wares. Labor troubles would disappear, he says, and the people find profitable employment. "Our farmers would no longer have to be contented with starvation prices for their products." Mr. WaUh is quoted as follow-1; "1. Build the Nicaragua canal. This will open open up to the sk 11 and en terprise of our manufacturers and mer chants the eh" tire field of commerce tht has never failed to enrich the na tlons of Kurope. . t) f n ri la t Wa ronfoje nf ol iir to r9 Uaw. am I II 1 I U bUVIVpi-TCUbdllf b Vi tfit ico, Central and South America, and the nations ot Japan and China and all the silver-using countries of the weild, which embraee about two thirds of the people of the earth, to an inter nation1. al monetary conference. This confer ence may determine that silver will be coined at a ratio of 16 in silver to 1 la gold, and that silver money will be re ceived in exchange for merchandise and in payment of ail debts." Senator Walsh's platform Is a good one. But until the tariff question is settled, or rather until a new tariff ha? been provided for this country, there an be no good reason to hope for the return of prosperitr. The peop.e Dave been taught t believe that all thtlr va ried interests are necessarily awaiting he act on of Congress on-tbat subject. tn 'nit tne wneeis 01 commerce can .jevtr be set in motion again an til a new tariff becomes the law of the land Ihlsbt htf is so firmly Implanted in the minds of the voters that it would be a waste of words to undertake to convince them that the ountry will ev er see pro?terous times again nnder the open tion I the McKinlev law.' But let Congress pass a new tann law before it adjourns and then Mr. Walsh's prediction as to what would result from the adoptiog ef the twr measures he! proposes would almost certainly come i true. Hard times have been known again and train In the bis tory of this country, and tese bird times have always been succeeded bv better times. &o it will be now, if we will remove from our pathway the 1m pediment known as tne McKinley law That law imposes one set ot customs duties. A cew tariff law would impose a new set of customs-duties. The result of the removal of one ret of duties and the substitution of another set is what the people fear. These fear will nev er be qui ted antil Congress removes the cause of them . fVben Baby waaek, we gsve bar When aha wm a Child, she crtod tor Ouferia. VThea abo becama TOm , the dnnc to Certnrla.

Atlanta Jear&aL .ver since We repeal of the bank ruptcy law, there haye been from lime to time efforts to re-enact a statute on the same subject ; o The Torrey bill, so-called because a St. Louis man of that name drew it, was Ineffectually, urged In the two con gresses preceding that now la session. a 0111, oi wnicn Mr. Bailer, txi re as, is the author, passed the Ilonf or Kepresentatlves last Tuesday an 1 ir friends believe it! Will OaiM tho wi.it. This bill provides only for volunmrv bankruptcy, it proposes to authorize federal courts to idlscharge from debt any person making an assignment of his property according to the laws of the state or state ia which it may ne situated. The conditions 61 discharge arn gnu eraily, that ther, shall be no prefer ence in atslgnmeiit except for debts dut- to tlie United States,, a state, or servants or laborers of the assignor; that there shall hjive been no frauiul lent act Intended to injure creditors for three months before the ft-3igniucut. All creditors arc made parties defnd aut to the suit brought oa the petitiou of a creditor for dkcharge. The bill had sharp opposition In the House of Representative?, and is by no means satisfactory to tne great pm mercial centers which hive be i-Km oring for a bankruptcy law. The New lorK papers are especUlly Severe in their condemnation of it. The TimcM. in an savi8: able editorial on the j subji-ct, "We should say that the title of the Dill might well be A bill to distribute the property of debtors, among the law yers, joe requirement that! the as signment of property, which U the first and indispensablej step toward obtain ing a discharge, shall comply in detail with the laws of whatever state or Btates the property may be found in, is the initial opening for the employment of legal talent. The requirement that all creditors shall be made parties to the suit on petition for discharge is the final one. . What with those, and the questions arising dut of the conduct of the petitioner's affairs, the disposal ef his property, the lines that may have matured under the yarlous state laws, it must be a pretty poor aud nowise hungry 6et of lawyers that cannot make very sure (when J he final dis charge comes that the estate has been quietly absorbed. I The assumed inno cent debtor who feally wishes to give up all he has aijd begin over again may, indeed, in jthe end secure are lease, but the number who will go through the complicated process pro vided by this bill j will, within the two years for which itj is to have effect, be very insignificant - "Of course the bill has no operation whatever upen those debtors who d not elect to take advantage of it. The object of a system ot uniform bank ruptcy legislation throughout all the states and territories of the union is a double one. On jthe one hand it wos intended that honest debtors surren derlng everything to their creditors should be relieved from further obliga tion; on the other hand, it was Intend ed, so far as pofible, to compel 'dis honest debtor i,make an pen .ac counting of tneir business ami to mi. render their assets to their creditor-. Both phases of this object of a hank rupt act are important. The second cert-tin! v cannot be regrd.'-l a3 lUr less important, because it involves tlu- establishment, so lar as possible, of uniform standard of commercial iiioril throughout the! union. The Torrey. bankrupt act did this in an effective fashion and with a minimum of ex pense or possible litigation.' The b it 1st passed by the house entirely 'ig nores It. We believe that this bill .;. largely shaped by those -who 'Intended to protect the Interests ot the uebto- class,' and whd .Imagined they ha 1 done so. They j have done the exact oootrary. Tlie real Interests 01 the debtor require shall be cheap that honest debtors y and fairly released and di-n taest debtors nunis!r;l. .I'n- dertuis act neither of these things v, ill happen." THE REASON WHY. The DanYlllcJ Va., Register wants to know why it is that the people of Vir ginia pay $1.50 per capita for their State government, while in North Car otin i -the cost Is only $1.!)!) per capita. It ia, because North Carolina has the most boaest and the most economical Statje government of n.tif in Union. U Decause tne salaries sne pays ner State officers are small; it is because her legislators are paid very little more than their expenses, it Is because there s no Jobbery la the public busmesc. It is because, the business of the State Is managed with that painstaking care and economy that the most prudent and conservative boinesa niau gives fo his private affairs. That is why or; n Carolina has the best ad cheapett government In the United States and she owes It all to the Democratic partj J Don't let that be forgotten!
