Never before in the history of legis-
lation has such pressure been brought
to bear upon Congress TO enact laws
for the protection of producers and
consumers and adulteration of food
products as is now being brought by
the farmers of this country. The sue
cess which has attended their efforts
in the past gives them courage to be-
lieve that at the present time their
appeals will surely be needed. 1t is
most fortunate for the country that
the Grange has taken hold of this
matter with such vigor, and is pushing
it in every possible way. Letters and
petitions from the membership and
arguments by representatives of the
Order are directly presented to mem
bers of Congress, showing the alarm
ing extent of the frauds which are
perpetrated, and asking that simple
justice be done. We do not ascribe
all the work which is being done to
the Grange. Individual farmers and
other organizations are important fac
tors in the work, but the Grange, by
reason of its wide extent, character
and standing, has taken the lead in
the matter and viii not relax its ag-
gressive spirit in this line until its pur-
poses are fully accomplished.

The Indifference of those engaged
in agriculture and the other industrial
pursuits to matters of legislation and
public affairs has, in other coun-
tries, been the primary cause of class
legislation, which has degraded labor
and robbed it of its just rewards,
built up moneyed aristocracy and
monopolies which own and control
not only the wealth of the country,
but the Government itself. Such a
condition of affairs can only be averted
in this country by educating the
wealth producing classes to under
stand their privileges, and in full exer-
else of their political rights TO demand
fairer representation in the legisla-
tive department of the Government
and equal protection TO their inter
ests. In this great work of educating
and elevating the agricultural classes
of this country, and to save them
from the impending fate that has be-
fallen the agriculturist of the old
world, was our Order created. u j.

which greatly increased the demand

their Internal activity. They have

the African Lakes !; and it is The
opinion not only of Cardinal Law
grrie and the German officials, but
of Mr.. Cameron the explorer, and
our own missionaries, that the num-

had a resolution unanimously passed re.
voking the order to transfer their stock to
the trust, and then notified the trust peo.
pie that he had discovered that his com.
pany was to be Swindled and that he
wouldn't carry out the original agreement. .
But the sugar trust had to have the
North River Refinery in the combination
III order to complete their monopoliStic
plan.
What was to be donpf
Willy John Z. SealleS, of Wall street,
the soft spoken, Shrewd manager of the
trust, was sent to see Mr.. Moller. Bluff
old Mr.. Moller was no match for quiet Mr..
SearleS with his Wall street ways.
The result OF the negotiating was that
the trust, through Mr.. Searles, agreed to
buy ont the North River Refining Company
tor cash, and offered to pay cash in full
at par for the company's Stock-3325, 900
for the building and the plant-which in
cluded everything except six lots of ground
at C0rIears and Water streets.
1t was pretended that this cash offer,
which had been made to no other company,
was a great concession to the North River
people, and Nj, Moller and his associates
accepted it. They sold out all their inter.
est IN the refinery in November last for
cash, and the property passed out of their
hands absolutely. Then the sugar trust
closed up and paid the 1895. 900. They
have MOI since operated it, and they have
10 intention of doing so.
And still Mr., \ oller is not happy. Now
he wishes he had accepted trust certificates
instead Of cash. For the sugar trust has
proved 50 enormously profitable that its
shares are away above par, and the
StO0.O00 IN certificates which he refused
to takei are now worth a good dead more
than Il million dollars, which is much bet
ter than $4,000 cash down. Even if Mr..
Moller and his fellow stockholders in the
North River refinery had been unable to
set more than double price for their com.
plnN stock in trust certificates they would
be several hundred thousand dollars richer.
Nobody knows iuSl what sugar trust Ger
%tiicatrS are worth, because they are too
valuable ever to iEd their way into the
open market. An idea OF their value can
be had by remembering The fact that the
truSt paid II dividend of2I per cent on its
certificates for the first five months Of its
existence, and after having paid out
S321,O0O in cash for the North River refine
ry. That is to say, the monopoly pays
about six per cent a year on a capitaliza-
ton which il three-quarterS wafer, the big
reiinerieS having been taken into the com.
hination at fonr timeS their capital stock.
twenty four per cent a year in dividends,
therefore, represents the profits of the
mquItonS sugar monopoly 10y their own
showing.
How long will the people tolerate
a conspiracy that compelS them to paw
S30,000 900 a year more for their sugar
than it ought TO cost?
