A BATTLE OVER TIIE HOOKS.
LTVELY 8ESSION OF THE SUGAR TRl^T IN

TWr.ODORr. A HAVF.MKTKR MAKES A STATE
MF.NT.
The expectation that yesterday'* _BvOaD_at_aa of the
Bltairs of the Sngar Trust by the Senate pOOUOlttOe oti
neneral Lawa would be splHted. llvely an<l aaffaialag
In Its reaults waa more than reallzed. The large num?
ber of apectators llatened te an latweatlag battle bo
tween the dignlfled Senatore, tho flNBabOH of the tnist
and the opposlng counael. The bone of eeoteartton was
agaln the producUon ot the books of the uuaaMtoont
eonipanlee, whlrh the commlttee havo so urgently de
nianded ao many tlmea during tho courae of the In
vcstlgatlon.
In the mldst of important testsmony by .lohn E.
Seeries, Jr.. treasurer of tlie trust and of tha pjtatnt
Amertrau eugar Beflning Company, he referrcd to the
books of the rotiipany.
"Mr. Searlea." asked tHrtney S. Harrla. -were Ihe
books of these ronstituent rompanies retnoved in order
t-. withdraw them from tbe Jurlsdictinn of thls com?
pany l"
-TTo," anawered Mr. Hearles, "thnt had nothlng to
00 with it. The principul odBeee of the Bow eooipony
were ln Jersey Clty. lt was nnturnl that they ahoeM
be taken there. I do not know when they were tak.-n
away. I liave l*-en told that tliey were ln the oftic.
hefora I went West. 1 did not know it peivuia.lv.
1 have not aeen the books aince January 1. Il would
not be prope-r, in my e*timatlon, to produce Ihoeo and
lo espose them to rlval*."
"Bnt. Mr. Searles, we are not sugar reioora.'
"That may be tnie," came the aaawet, "hoi th-re
hare been maiiy rlval refincrs In attendance upon your
Investlgation."
At thla polnt of the examlnntion Elihn Boot, one of
the eonnsel for the trust. aslied BOTOtfaeioa to aaake B
atatement. ?? Mr. Chalrrnan," he snid npon recelvlnff
perruiaaloE, "you bave already before >.>u a siatement
of the profits of the varlous earpdiatkma. i weoM
now make the suggestion that yon, or your eoonaol, go
with me or Ur. Searles and see if you have BOJ in
tbe*e aaatoaaeote aii that i* aoeeaaaay for tia- parpo ?*
of your investlgation. It I* rertainly mot BOOaeaary |o
freight a voaaal and lmp-.rt thaaa books from Kow
/ersey."
?? lt Is well enough to extend th.it prhilcge to me,
Mr. Eoot." replied Benator Krwin, "but 1 know as
much about them after e-anilnntion a* 1 do aboal vil
lages In Ilohemla. Are you wBBag for us to go as a
body with tfce oeaoootaol l"
"I am oniy willing that yon go Individuiilly," was
the answer. -'There I* B groat dltferenee between
your ees*lons as a publie body BOd what I aag
gest. A* a publie body. It would be diflicult to
keep separate what tfce tommlttee had a right to
eee and what it liad no right to 800."
-Hut," interposed Senator Oautor, "WO are hcrc in
the intere*ts of the publie. What bclongs to the publie
the publlt aaaal l?ve and will have. We are not
here for the gratitlcation of orn- own laahweets."
Mr. Harrls was Ikao asked to stato wliat the c.tn
mlttee wished xo dlseover by eoooohottfla of the books.
Ile ar.swered :
"I wish flrst to nnd the umount of ihe profits of
the eooatttoeat eompaalea ai.d kow they were made.
Whether Ihoee profits were ttaoaterred t.. the peraana
entitled to tliem. Whether there was any means by
wliich the certlficate holdera could protect Bhemaelvee.
We have wanted these booUs for fcfceae i>ur
poses a long time, and ahere is no rea
son why we should not have them. This
commlttee repreaenta the aaveialgn powei ol the state
?and has a right to demand what ta H.-.-es-ary for its
invcstigail.in, papers as well as people."
" I submlt to thls commlttee,*' wa* Mr. Root's reply.
? that lt has no power to demand the h-d two thini?s
mentloned. They are beyond Its power. lt ha* bo
right to see whether the holders of certilirates reeeived
all of the property to which they were entitled. Our
Judlcial systeiu is ii.rtituted for that puipose. To
assert the right of the eonimltti-e to that would be to
usurp the powers of the .uiiidury."
?' lt has not been ahown that these i ertilicate-holdcrs
are unable to conduct their own boalaesa. The oflircrs
of Kldder, Peabody A Co. were satislied with the in
vestigatlon. You have the resiilts of that. The Cen
rrai Trust Company wa* satislied. Vou have Ihe re
aults of that. What 000)00-1 has the aenate to go
fuj-tlier than thatt"
That question arouscd the piide of 6enator Erwln.
ln a clear volce. bringlng his list down upon the table
ln emphasis of his reroarks. he replied:
" 1 have BlWapa supposf d that we bave the right to
hnve thosc books and to examlne them, to Bhgw
whether you mlsused the property or not, becanse lt
was tho people. the pnblic, who bought the Btoek.
If the stock that you have and that you gave to th"
publie nas unpaid for, we have a right to know that.
We have a right to know whether this is a frand or
not. You have tho same company now a* you
formerly had. That is what we rlaim, and that ls the
reason we claim that we have a right to have the
books prodnced. The same frand tbat was upon the
publie before is upon lt now. lf we are wrong, and
tlie commlttee decldc that wc are WTOOg, weH and
good. Hut so far as I ani concevned. I shall BOV r
vote othe.wlsc than that you produce theaa books, and
that you prodnre them before the ronnnittee.
"We shall give to tbe publie what bOiOOga to the
publie. That wl'l- alfects your prlvate interest la
a differwit matt'-r. Tlie decislon In ihe MeDooald case
ihows tliat your organlzation to day la a* Ufeff-l a* it
formerlv wa*. We may not be able lo make yon
MOgllfil tfcoea books. but we can aaod you to prlaon
for refuslng to do ao."
Mr. Boot said: " Bot these certitl. ate-holders are
?erfectly aatlagei."
Penatr.r Ki-wm leplled, "Of coursc they are."
Mr. r.oot- They don't de-iro any interference.
6enator Erwln?Of eoaiae they don't.
At this point TheoOjore h. Hoveeaeyer aprong froaj

nonnced a frand by the committee beOore the e.\amiiia

??We shall l.e glad to BfOOO what you BBJ, Mr. Have.

DOWN WITH
The New Drug "Combine."
Refnse io Buy My of Nr Preparationa
IN LESS THAN 8IX MONTH8
THE "COMBINE" WILL BE "BUSTED."
Continue to use tbeni and they MAY be succeasful, and IF they are may
HEAYEN liuve inerey on your POCKET! THEY WON'T. If they weceid
you will iee medicine go up to FIVE DOLLARS a bottle, for if tbia combine
of IN'SATIATK LEECHEScancompel US to chargejyou A DOLLAR, they
(AN and WILL make you pay FIVE eventually. Will you help them do itf
However,
RIKER SL SON OF 6TH AV. AND 22DST.
will furht this inonsrrous" Combine" again and with the same strength thej
di.i Id 1884, and if YOU will STAND BY US as you did THEN, WE PLEDGJ
OUI.SELYE.Sto
ANNIHILATE THE "COMBINE"
in xhort order. Medicine must and xtuill be obtainaOle at bottom
prices.
P.iker & Son agree to supply you with far better medicines than any ever
put up by the u Combine," and
AT MUCH LOWER PRICES.
They go even further than that. They LEGALLY GUARAN
TEE their preparations to do ALL YOU EXPECT them to, or
they refund your money. They agree to supply you with
SARSAPARILLA,
their boltles containing double the quantity of those put up
by the combine at 75c. per bottle.
RIKER'S EXPECTORANT
for coughs and colds at 60c. per bottle.
SALINE APERIENT
(in plaee of Tarrant's), 60c. per bottle.
And so with the whole list. The combine want you to
pav $1.00 for th3 same. Why, even the retail druggists them
selves who are in WITH THE "COMBINE" admit thatwUen
they charge the RING price they
FEEL LIKE ROBBERS.
Well, THEY evidently have a little conscience left. The " combiae " EX
TOBTIONIST8 HAVE NONB. Now, just think this over a little, and we feel
assmvd that you will turn in and HELP US TO COMPLETELY WIPE OUT
THIS SHA1KELESS COMBINATION.
They have HUNDKEDS OF MILLIONS to do battle with, but if
YOU AND US
pull together weMl " knock Vm out" with ease.
Truly Your Friends,
W. B. RIKER & SON.
