Manipulating Sugar stock.
NelD York World

The capital stock of the Sugar Trust is
put at $50, 600, 900. This represents less
than $50, 600, 600 of brick and mortar, q
million or two of money and SAC, 1000, 900
of clear, virgin water. Stock has been Of
fered for sale, and some has been sold as
high as 80, but people are wary Of touch
ing it now at is, because it begins to look
as if the monopoly kings might receive a
sudden check in their mad career. If it
were only safe it would be a grand invest
ment, for sugar men figure that the trust
has already made since November l IL per
cent on its watered stock, or 80 per cent
on its real property.
The plan Of the Sugar Trust is very
simple. 1t works both ways-to de
press the price on raw sugars and in
crease the price Of refined. By de-
stroying competition it destroys also the
market for raw sugars, and takes away the
business of importers and brokers. The
great American protective tariff helps in
the evil work by barring ont the better
grade OF raw sugars which would be suita-
bic for use without refining. Having
three-quarters of the refineries in their
own hands, the Trust plays the game so
familiar in the anthracite coal fields OF
shutting down and restricting production.
At the close of January there were but two
trust houses running in New York, two in
Boston, two in New Orleans and one In st.
Louis. Refined sugar had advanced a cent
and 3 halfa pound, and as the middlemen
always take advantage of 8 good excuse to
raise prices, the poor public found itself
paying three or four cents more a pound
than it paid q year ago.
The sugar importers have not yet made
up their minds what the ultimate figures
will be, for the reason that there was a
very large sugar crop in Louisiana this
year, which has naturally depressed prices
and kept the Western market supplied.
This crop will be used up in three or four
weeks and then more of the refneries will
start up, but whether that will mean high
er or lower prices for refined the sugar men
say they cannot yet tell. The importers
are all idle. Like Micawber, they are
waiting for something to turn up. They
are all desperately afraid TO tell what they
know about the Trust, for they say the
combination would crush them if they
were known to peach. Not but what they
are pretty well crushed already, but there
is always q hope that some change in the
aspect of affairs may take place.
With fear and trembling a gentleman
prominent in the trade did q little figuring
for the benefit of The World. There is"
he said, at present prices a profit Of 11-l6
cents per pound to refine sugar, or in round
figures $14 per ton, and the trust will re-
fine a million tons a year. This will give
them q nest little profit of thirteen or four
teen million dollars on a plant which is
certainly not worth over twenty millions.
So You can see for yourself whether the
trust is likely to pay. Of course, these fig
ures may be lowered, and then again they
might be increased. An eighth of a cent
one way or the other means millions In
this business"

SENATOR JoE BLACKBURN has recently
returned from California, and recounts in
his interesting way some Of the drawbacks
to National Convention on the Pacific
coast. If the National Democratic Com
mittee could have q fve-minute's inter
view with Senator JOE, we think there
would be no further agitation Of the trans
continental trip. He said:
/ have been in California recently, and
/ can speak from personal experience OF
the cost of the trip and the imposition i'm
posed upon strangers. l was robbed while
going there, while there, and returning
home. The trunks of my family were uu-
strapped, unlocked and everything yalu-
able in the way of jewelry and trikets were
taken out aud the trunks locked and re-
strapped. These robberies must have
occurred on the cars. In addition to
this / had to pay four And.iye prices for
everything / was compelled to purchase.
The hotel rates are twice as high in Cali
fornia as they are at the Fifth Avenue in

for an old, dilapidated night-iner. 1t
seemed to be a complete system: Of organ
lied extortion and robbery on every hand.
In my opinion, il the convention should

egstes and others who attend 3 million
dollars, and then they would be lucky to
get back home with as many clothes as
they carried away. No, 1 want no more

for me.

To ne Editor Of the Register:
SIR:-The time is approaching when
every reliable and judicious Democrat be-
gins to scan with a coming interest the
field and political complexion Of the ap-
preaching campaign, and that every DEM
ocTat, as q citizen and voter, exerts his
influence, or should do so, in the interest
Of exemplary right, that honest and capa-
bic men are elected to fill creditsble offices
of State, the most fastidious will scarcely
question.
That such is the duty of every voter in
the coming election, not only as q voter,
but rs 3 citizen Of our Commonwealth,
that the laws may be not only wholesome
and good, but that they be mithfully exc
euted. Therefore, in view of the coming
man that will be selected by the people to
ill the Office Of Attorney General, We can
not think of nor suggest q person that
would better represent the interest OF every
voter and citizen who has the moral and
legal welfare of the State at heart than to
elect such q person to fill said Office.
In looking over the passable candidates
for above position we find none that would
better subserve and carry into effect the
wishes Of his constituency as well as the
public at large than Joseph Moreland, Of
Morgantown, Monongalia county, West

Mr.. Moreland came to Morgsntown years

on the subject of the Liability of public
officers to private actions for neglect Of Of

We have not heard that Mr.. Cleveland
claims originality for the utterance; mol
is this to be inferred otherwise than from
the omission to mark it with quotation
points. 1t is not 50 marked in Judge
Cooley's paper.
This is an omission so long common

SIR:-Please state in your next issue

eligible to the Presidency of the United
States?
Grafton, February 2Oth, 1888.
General SHERIDAN says himself that he
was born in Albany. His mother, it is
stated, claims that the gallant soldier first
saw light at Somerset, Ohio. The mother
certainly ought to know "au the facts
in the case" and no doubt her testimony
would be taken in preference to her sons
before any court Of law in the country.
But In any event the General is eligible to
the Presidency, for the Constitution reads
thus:
No person, except q natural born citizen
or q eitizsn of the United States at the time
Of the adoption Of this Constitution, shall
be eligibis to the Office of President.
