dozen individuals has frightened the in
YeStCrs away. The situation seems t

: dent Britisher, who was but short time
ago so anxious to IntTust his savings to
American enterprise. The Daily Tele-
], graph, of London, had recently IA long

lyzed III way by no means likely to en-
courage fresh Investments of British
money In the securities Of our corporate
! institutions. The press abroad has
grown to understand that men like Van
berbllt, Gould, Scott, Garrett and Hunt
: ngton are practically beyond the con-
troll OF any power. Full justice is done
to these men, IN comparison with whom
all statesmen and Legislators Of the
United States are declared to be pig
mics. But the criminal folly of allow
ing few individuals to tax 50,0OG,0JO
of people at their pleasure and to place
the whole business OF the continent at
the absolute mercy Of a few un5crupn-
lous monopolsts, Is pointed out in IN
commonly telling language"
THE SUGAR INDUSTRY.
The question of the sugar supply in
this country Is one attracting much
capital and chemical experiment, and
there are well founded reports that
sufficient test has been made Of the pro
duction of the different kinds Of So yar 10
warrant the building of enormous
retneries and manufactures in various
parts OF the country, either to produce
sugar direct or to mix the syrTtDs
with cane sugar. New York Is investing
/ S2,OUO,GO0 Ill an enormous factory,
Philadelphia is also erecting d similar
one, while there are two similar ones in
! process of erection at Chicago. But it
! is to be hoped that these new sugar
manufactures Will not turn out the vile
| stuff some northern and western manu-
factors do and call it Louisiana sugaror
mOlasses," as it Ii an outrage that our
people should endeavor in some way to
protect themselves against, as our sugars. /
syrups and molasses are given the /
preference over all others. on account Of
their purity and exceedingly fine flavor. |
