A long discussion highlights secretary of the treasury Carlisle facing questions over visits to the Sugar Trust in New York during March and July. The piece argues the trust’s influence may have shaped tariff policy and questions whether Carlisle’s actions benefited the trusts or the Democratic tariff agenda. It suggests resistance to explanation and notes political maneuvering in Congress and with the President.
