The Sugar Trust. I he enormous pNnd^ring done by the Sugar T: -t, with the knowledge and consent of tin Congress of the I'nited States has no paralel in the legislativt history of the world.

I'here is another chapter t< this crime, and it is called tin Hawaiian treaty. In ISlMJ the Hawaiian p^oduc was J'Jh.oti'i totis?nearly eipia to the prodii' t of America. Thi pugar ^ .*11 , .rcln.^e 1 by tin Sugar Trust or the Sprock els dynasty, o .10 of its eodubor ers. Not a cent of revenue w?i paid, though this llawoiiar ?uga is one-seventh of the imports. I I is sugar is all sold to Jlevem eyer ::t .$*> a ton under the mark et price. That means |1,000,00' to IIavemeyer, and theremaindei 1 of the "bonus'' the Spreckels Trust pockets, and is is estimated at ~ ' at .<.>,000,000 a year. Aside, therefore, from the spe~ i ciul bonus on the sugar imported s'in April and May, the Sprckels; s? and the Iluvomeyer Trusts com-; i j biued r< ceivc a bonus of $13,000,- \ i. out) annually. This year, in adui tion, the llavemeyer Trust ,re? ceives .i special bonus of not les<= than $10,000,000. in all, these interests are this year enriched at the expenses of the Treasury - and of the consumer $23,000,000. This at a time when the govern' moist is in need of money and has 1 i to face a large delieit, and when' 1 the people everywhere have : 11 j they can do to make both ends t meet. < The remedy was plain enough; i universal revenue duty on all r sugar, raw or relined ; no 1 MVr , ential duty for the trust ; uo treaty with Hawaii, which e . rnpts i: imports from duty when enter-; p ing our ports. This would increase the governr ment revenue more than the in .. creased duty on beer and tea and , would make certain a revenue I 'sufficient to meet all expenses, i Further than this, it would ' i. . .. i i ... . i , < iu-ii ;ti line uiiiw ine sugar ring,! a tnl remove the chief source of' j legislative corruption. It will not he done. It will not, be done, because the Sugar Trust owns at least half a dozen Senators ;becanso it bribes them to be-. ! trav their constituents ?nd be. | cause with the bonus it has it can j buy other Senators whenever it . needs them. ( Hut this is not the end of the' , j story. (Jreat as is the income of this corrupt ring, it has not mon-; ey enough to buy forty-six Senators, a majority of the Senators, a majority of the Senate, and a I majority of the House. Standing alone, there would be no chance* i of the passage of a bill as infamous as the A Idrich-A llison bill. It does not stand alone; it is entrenched in the tariff bill, and the henchmen of the sugar ring in e\t hange for votes give votes.: The sugar robbery is supported by the supporters of the tax on wool, the tax on lumber, the tax ? on a inousanu oilier articles. The whole schedule is arrangedjto rol> the consumer for the benefit of the trusts and various manufac-, turinc interests in the North. Why are not the Senators from > the West mnd South able to prevent the consumation of such u crime ? I ' ltec u.se v >nator- Itaci n and ('lav of (ieor^ia, 11..1 and M.Lau . 1 ren of South Carolina, and Mo-, Kncry of Louisiana leave Iheir party associates to vote foi a tax on imported cotton. Senator Jones of Arkansis, Senator Vest of Missouri, and Sena tor < ailrey demoiistra'.eil thai this ^proposition was mere dis guise; tliat it meant nothing whatever t<> tin* Smith; that the Cotton imported 'lit! not [compete with American cotton ; 11? i the utmost limit of incorporation was |'mMM10 hales, and that, like the whf>h';h?gricultnral schedule, the ' ?I i y on cotton was intended to '(conceal from the men paying the tax ttie enormity of the robbery ' th-? tariil' would authorize. ' 1 nese arguments from the ablest 14 Senators Irom the South had no - ellocts, and the live Southern - Senators named denounce the Sugar Trust one day, and the' R next aid it so to frame a bill as r to get the most votes. If the South intends to throttle this tarilT hydra ; if it intends to i - relieve itself from unjust hi\a-1 V tion, A. must make its Senators' r understand that it will not con sent to support the Robber Tariff, Is in order thet they i''1)' '?* norn- h inal duty on cotton. !e , t m - . i Fit I'MS AM) YKGFTAItLES. jlt _ ^ The Imports in London Have! .More Than Doubled in Ten J 0 Years. i t I' In the ir. if r Mf v metafiles, Mr. M'i'liains is aghast because our imports have doubled ir the last ten years.

From the neigh- '1 hnvhood of Ivoseoll G.000 tons of a early potatoes and great quanti- a ties of onions are exported to England. In fruit culture the (> same thing is happening. .At Mo"trnu'! ther* ifp vr?n a acres covered with peaches. Theip little village of Hennccour, whose ^ rough slopes were formerly used n to supply stone to Paris, have been converted into orchards for j b apricot ami cherry trees, black currant bushes, and plantations! of peas and asparagus, and this | ? tiny village in I>M sold no less * than .C 5.GO0 worth of apricots ^ alone. And so we might go on H with one illustration after anoth-lh er of foreign enterprise and dili- v genre that might be pursued with * equal advantage in many an I English county. When we see; what is being done abroad it is piteous to know that our own r>a tient and slow-witted people al- < low their landlords to bambo/.zle! \ them with the cry of protection' \ and trade marks, when with a better land system, more organisation and vigorous public education the remedy is in their own hands.?
