IL civilized country like ours
and among cultured and gentle PEG,

not the place to abuse privileges
If We are not willing to accord to
man bis honest convictions we
ought not to modest him, but stay
away. If We believe a man is not
speaking his honest convictions. we
ought, for the most part, to be above

Just in this connection, we wish

Never be a disturber or an excitor

TIE evils of the gigantic trusts of the country are appreciated by every community. Their long arms reach out and encircle the rich and poor alike. and make all pay tribute Co 6 power that the people seem to be unable to resist. The cattle trusts are in the hands of Armour and hIs associates, to the detriment of every man outside Of Armour's particular ring, who may be unfortunate enough to seek to carry on the industry of raising cattle without Armour's prinoely permission. The oil trusts are controlled by Rooksfellsr and bis comrades, until they have grown to such tremendious proportions that Leg islstures of interested states. and even the National Government seem unable to cope successfully with the wary foe. The almost magic rise in sugar, u the result of the manipulation of the sugar trust, one of She strongest combines to- day ID the country. This fer-resching monopoly effects every household in the land, and the people would welcome anything that would place the great su- gar concerns at loggsrhesds, that would compel them to cut rstes, SC the great Railroads of the country frequently have to do when their combines fail. The people, however, can look forward to easy relief ID the matter of the sugar monopoly. Claus spreckles, whose dar- ing threats against the combine, before the Congressional Committee, were re- sarded as far in the future, has already undertaken the initiative of the big bat tie against the sugar trust. He has purchased land in Philadelphia for 6 cash price of s5O0,OO0 and on if the largest sugar refinery in the world is beIng erected at an approximate cost of $3,OO0. 900, with 6 capacity eventually of 6.OOO,OOO pounds of sugar per day or about twice that of the Hoveneyer Rsfinsry, the king of ihe combine. If this great sugar manufacturer with bis great advantages, remains true to his threats, the price of sugar will be ma tsrislly lowered in few months, and at least one of the great trusts shorn of its power.
