SENATORS AND SUGAR. The Senatorial Sugar Trust investi- gation commenced the examination of the individual members of the Senate, in falphabetical order, as to their knowledge or connections with deal- ings in sugar stock or the sugar legis- lation of the tariff bill. The examina- tion of senators from A to Q, inclusive with few exceptions, has been com- pleted. Calvin 8, Brice, of Ohio, said: “I have never been concerned in any speculations or investments or inter- ested in them, the result of which de- pended on legislation in Congress or elsewhere.” All the Senators exam- ined testified to having no relations directly or indirectly with the Sugar Trust, except the Pennsylvanian, Quay. Thus far the Senate shows that Quay has been Senator to speculate in sugar, mitted it when on oath, and investigation the only He ad- his Re- sugar in their lemonade.

The farmers of Pennsylvania must again prepare to enter into the cam- paign for members of the state legisla- ture, who will again renew the battle for equal taxation. The farmers of this state have it in their power, if they will but unite for a gommon purpose, i; elect a legisla- ture that will pass an act based upon the principle that the dollar of the cor- poration, railroad or mining company shall be taxed for township, borough and county purposes, at the same rate as that of the farmer or business man. Let the farmers go into the battle with the principle of equal taxation emblazoned on their banners, and cause to be prepared a short and con- cise bill that shall set forth and require all corporations, companies, firms and individuals to pay upon the amount of their investments, for townships, bor- oughs and state purposes, the same rate. If this course is pursued by the far mers they will have a great fight but they will come out victorious. Dis- crimination in favor of railroad and mining companies and corporations cannot stand before the arguments of equal taxation. The farmers have equity, justice and common sense on their side, and have the votes to elect men who will carry out their wishes. In fact the farmers have the power in their hands, if they only possessed the courage and manliness to exert it. Will they do it? stata Hox, Gro. F.
