Ye; anl I understood you to say that ts brlnnlng to ttie American people a lie more under thla ayatera of the truat 'i waa under the ayatera of free re lien. A.

Yes. Sir. After some further questioning, the wlt-- said: "If you will allow me.

A I should think It waa nearly cent a Pund. VI What would you estimate the Increased price to the conaumer under the iropoaed bill A. a a pound from the present rrire. Hy 8enator Cray Did you claim and do you claim now," by reaaon of the economies that have resulted from the consolidation of the reflneriea, that the price if lurars has been reduced below what It otherwise would have been, without reference to the tariff or anything else? A.

No, Sir; I did not make that statement. I made a atatement that the margin 'tween raw and refined for the alx yeara the formation of the truat had been than for the alx years prior to the rtnatlon of the trust, and that advantage to the conaumer. At a certain rlod there was a duty of over 2 cents a und on sugar. Naturally when that was moved under the McKlnley bill the publlo the benefit of It. But the auger refining lustry la concerned merely with the mar-a between raw and refined sugar.

It Is that margin that the coat of expenses, difference In the degree of polarisation the auirar, and the profit to the American var Kenning Company comes In. If that rgln large, it la at the expense of the naumer. If that margin small. It Is to benefit of the consumer. Hy Henator Lindsay la not this the fur--r fact, that the trust, being able to fix price In America, haa It not been the 'ry of the trust to fix It just low enough keep out refined sugar made In foreign 'iintrt-a? A.

That la the buslneaa, practically, of American Sugar Kfrtnlng Company. And have you so fixed it a to practl-y exclude all foreign competition? A. Yea, tilr; aa protection to our own Htnca, every pound of foreign sugar con- mfl In thla country la at the expense of American Sugar Refining Company, and diminution of the meltings of the sugar company means an Increased cost of manufacture. more questions about the cost of mr hvre and abroad led Senator Lindsay auk If the German consumer was not 'Tun-lli to pay the German grocer 1 cent l-uutid more than the American consumer the American grocer, and Mr. Uave- anawered In the affirmative.

The twenty reflneriea ore the existence of the trust had been I tut not to make any money. In salt Senator Allen, "the very of the farmatlon of the trust, aa I 'mtand you, waa to advance the price to the American consumer?" S'r." was the frank response.

Was that atatement correct? wa Mr. Harlee-I think there must have been a misunderstanding of Mr HavemeveTa vrSUhir UtinSivSa7Th: profit of refining was three-eighths of a cent The margin of cost between Wir and refined sugar has been no greater since the organlxaUon of the American Hugar Re- 511 iiS Kmpay' or th Trust, so was with the twenty Independent rellnertes prior to Us organization. Searles related to matters which were fully "erneyer Mr. Searles denied that the trust controlled the market or the production of sugar.

It was organised, he said, to economize the cost of manufacture and to distribute to all parties the results of the business In some equitable arrangement. It had naturally the purpose of eliminating the competition under which there was waste la the management of the bualnes. The American Sugar Refining Company occupied the country east of the Missouri River, and the Western Sugar Refining Company (Claus SpreckeU's company) all territory weat of the MisaourL 7 he American Company owned a half lnter-eat In the Western Company, but the two were frequently in competition, i Senator Allen asked what amount, of tnoney the American Company had earned on lta capitalisation of aince lta organisation In January, lsiu. and Mr Kearloa aald that while he did not have the figure, he ahould ay about 125,000,000, but this waa on the Increased capitalisation of This represented the earnings, not the net proQta, which were about Mr. Searlea contradicted Mr.

Havemeyer on one important point. He said the refineries were not running at a losa before the formation of the trust. The average of the twenty reflneriea operated before the organization of the truat waa aa much for the aeven years previous to the organization of the trust aa it ha been under the American- Sugar Refining Company. Senator Allen Do you mean to say that the net profit of the Independent reflneriea waa as great before the organization of this company aa now? If the profit of manufacture waa as great to the independent refineries operated before the trust, what inducement would there have been for the independent refineries to go into the trust? Mr. Searles 11 "cause of the Irregularity of that profit.

The thing works this way. Senator. You take a time of competition when prices are cut and goods are sold at less than their cost. It Is Invariably followed by the elimination of the weaker house, and then a doubling of the profit of manufacture, such as was the case during the seven yeara prior to the organization of the trust. A number of the refineries have closed up and went to the wall.

If we had continued under the same arrangement, eight or ten refineries would have been left at this time, and they would have had all the business. Mr. gearles said his sole business in Washlngcon last Winter was for the purpose of influencing Congressional legislation on the sugar schedule. He had called on Senator Jones of Arkansas, to whom he had a letter of introduction, from It. C.

Kerens of St. LouIb, In Hie interest of securing from the Senate an improvement on the sugar schedule reported to the Senate as It came from the House. He had merely explained to Senator Jones the condition of the sugar Industry, and advocated an ad valorem duty. Senator Allen, asked Mr. Searles If he thought the organization of the American Refining Company was In the Interest of the American people.

Yes, Sir, I do." said Mr. Searlea. I believe the people of the United States are getting their sugar cheaper and a purer quality of sugar by reason of this company than is possible under any other circumstances on earth." Mr. Searles also said that on the amount of buslnesa the truat had done the profit of In three yeara waa very trifling, but to thia Mr. Allen remarked: "I see you and I radically disagree upon that, and probably always wUL'r Then Mr.

Allen proceeded to question Mr. Searles about the contributions of the trust to. campaign funds. Mr. Searles said that contributions had been made in 1892, but he did not care to testify on that point, unless the resolution under which the committee was acting embraced that Inquiry.

He was told that the resolution did embrace that point, and added: "In answer to that question, with reference to any contribution to secure or defeat legislation, I answer, emphatically, Mr. Searles said he also saw Senator My Impression when I left Senator McPherson was that he recognised the Justice of whst I had stated, that he understood the matter, and that It met his approval, and that he would be very glad to do what he could to see that the matter was properly arranged." The witness said he saw Senators Smith, Gorman, Caffery, White, (now a Supreme Court Justice.) Murphy, and Aldrich. and he had used only proper argument with all of them, and had not mentioned to any Senator that the Democratic Party waa under obllgationa to the Sugar Truat for campaign contributions. He waa not certain aa to what States had received campaign contribution from the truat. but he thought money had been given in New-York.

He declined to say how much money wss contributed for campaign purposes In 1SU2, on the ground that It was not within the province of the Inquiry. No national contributions were made. Senator Allen Do you not decline to state simply because you know It was disreputable and unlawful to contribute this money? Mr. Searles No, Sir; I do not admit anything of the kind. The witness said the money was charged to the refining company, and he thought, aa political parties were now managed, that the contrlbutlona were proper.

There had been no understanding as to the benefits to be derived from the contributions. The contributions were actuated by a patriotic duty. Mr. Searles declined to say what arty na, innmaaauy, naa contributed to in ew-xorx etate. WOlCAiri RIGHTS- OT BTwVJXEIST.

There are marvels everywhere in the asylum, from the quiet, airy hospital to the layette department, but nothing can compare In charm with lta kindergarten. Sister Irene frankly admitted that the fourscore little folk who delighted the visitor were on dress parade as to bib and tucker, but there was no art in their childish prattle and infantile grace. After choru singing and recitations th dainty little men and women held a levee, and It needed all of Eugene Durnln's persuasive art to Induce the majority of the delegate to keep schedule time and go to the baptist Home for th Aged, near by.

Therw ia no money appropriated for the purpose, and. as it fusts fully $75 a head to send Chinamen back to China from the United State, th aggregate amount required for the purpoe will be quite large.
