A DEMOCRATIC TRUST.

The Sugar Trust discharges thousand men
or more, and the eminent Democrats who ar
ranged with Mr.. Mills to have the Trust care
fully protected by his bill quietly pocket their
profts-unless they put part of them into the
Democratic campaign fund. Yet they expect
the discharged workingmen to vote for the
party which upholds and fortifies the Trust.
This is little too much. The worlsingmen
may be excused if they resent such treatment,
and other worbingmen who are not now out
of work may with reason determine to vote
against a party which takes money from
monopoly for its campaign expenses. as the
price of defending that monopoly in legislation,
while pretending to be the Incorporating
foe Of monopoists.
II was mistake for the Democratic party
to place Mr. Whitney in the Cabinet, because
the Standard Oil Trust is Of all combinations
the most conspicuous. 1t was as great mis-
take to shape legislation for the defence and
maintenance of the whiskey ring, which the
Senate Tariff bill would strike in most tender
snot nv making alcohol used in the arts free OF
taxation. But the Sugar Trust, controlled and
managed by Democrats and specially favored
by the DemOcfdllC party III ,ho it'"'N "-'
would also be seriously affected by the Senate
bill. which would reduce the duty on sugar
about one-half. While there may be doubt as
TO the wisdom of that reduction without any
compensating benefit to producers OF domestic
raw sugar, it is at least evident that the Re
publicans of the Senate are not disposed TO
obey the behests of the Trust, as the Demo-
ouo@. &c ~ IIouco en- clearly did.
II is not to be assumed that these combina-
tions are always or necessarily wrongful, or in
furious to the public. Some Of them have done
real good, and these might with justice be hon
esty and openly defended. But the Sugar
Trust has not done good; it has largely in
creased the cost to consumers of necessary OF
life and has caused the discharge Of many men
from industry in which they were earning a
good living. It is the height Of assurance Tor
a party to pretend holy Indignation about
monopolics. when that party protects ana de-
tends the worst of them, and pockets money
for doing so.

= rectly and naturally to pour oil on the flames

rectly and naturally to pour oil on the flames
of speculation.
But this consequence is the more sure at the
present time, because the agitation OF the tariff
question has temporarily checked industrial
progress. People who have mills or mines will
operate them as long as they can see profit,
but are less disposed to make new investments
in works which depend upon the tariff If they
believe that a change of tariff is probable.
Of those who have works in operation, too,
MANY are disinclined to make contracts which
reach into the future when a change of tariff
seems to them possible. Thus it comes to pass
that tariff agitation tends to check industrial
enterprise and development at the very time
when the Treasury is putting out money freely.
In productive industries the demand for money
is limited, but in speculation unlimited. and so
the money goes largely into speculative opera
tons.
The scenes which have been witnessed in
Chicago, in this city, and at all centres OF
speculative activity, are highly gratifying to
brokers' and gratifying also to spectators who
win. But the direct effect is dearer bread for
the millions. The baker cannot help it, for
he has to pay more for his flour. The miller
cannot help it, because speculation has made it
impossible for him to get cheap wheat. But
every one knows that when once the price Of
the loaf has been raised, it is not an easy mat
ter to get it reduced again. The additional
price of the loaf, in this instance, is the natural
consequence of the Democratic financial policy
and of Democratic tariff agitation
1t is true that the supply of wheat this year
is smaller than it has been for some years past.
But the official report, if that is to be relied
upon, indicates that the yield has been at least
seventy or eighty million bushels more than the
quantity required for seed and food in this
country. TO that surplus must be added at
least fifty million bushels remaining on hand
July from previous crops so that the country
has one hundred and twenty to one hundred
and thirty million bushels for sale and export
during the crop year. But the exports last
year were less that one hundred and twenty
million bushels, and the high price tends to
prevent foreigners from buying in this mar
kct. Thus wheat is left on hand unsold, while
the foreign Indebtedness Of the country for
things imported increases.
1t is not to be supposed that the Administra-
ton desires or intends to produce these results.
But the consequences of its policy are not bene-
fetal to the country, while to consumers who
have to pay more for bread they are unwel-
come After the election, moreover, when the
unnatural stimulus must Of necessity be with
drawn. there will be danger of a reaction which
may affect industries injuriously The plain
truth is that the financial management of the
Government ought not to be shaped with refer
ence to election emergencies, ror should the
industries of the country have been disturbed
by free-trade agitation.

DEARER BREAD AND DEMOCRACY.

THE TRIBUNE, its readers are well aware,
has steadily predicted a season of the widest
gambling in grain and securities as the natural
result of the financial policy adopted by the
Treasury. The object of that policy is to
make money plenty-untl after the election.
It's method is to place money where there are
banks which can use it to the largest profit.
and where there are bondholders who are will
ing to sell. Long ago it was pointed out that
these conditions rendered it probable that most
of the money discussed would go directly into
speculative channels, and not into legitimate
business The holders Of bonds who are will
ing to sell in very many cases are those who
wish to employ money in some form of spec
uIation. AS the Spectator who expects to
make millions in day thinks himself able to
pay higher rates for money than any productive
industry can. banks which take Treasury
money TO lend in many cases lend most of it
to spectators. Thus the methods adopted by
the Treasury, "to make things lively" and
money easy until after the election, tend d.
