LESSENING THE OUTPUT OF SUGAR.
THE TRUST CLOSES A BOSTON REFINERY.
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MEN THROWN OUT
OF wORK-oTuER REFINERIEs TO BE STOP
PED FOR THE DULL SEASON
rpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Boston, Oct 1.-The Bay State Sugar Refinery
has been ordered by the Sugar Trust to close Last
winter this refinery closed for seven months The
skilled men were then paid half time until July Z,
when work was resumed. The 130 men who were
summarily deprived of work last Saturday night,
however, have such prospect. President Atkins
says that he does not expect a final closing any
more than he did before.
"The fact is,' he said, that the demand for
refined sugar falls of every year. beginning with
September still decreasing in October. and in No
vember and December the call is at its minimum.
Ii has been the practice Of all rcfineres to curail
their production in these months when they operated
independently. Since the combination, it has been
found economical 10 operate some reiineries
at their full capacity, while others were suspended
altogether In tho dull Two refinercs were
included in the suspended list in NewYork and pos
sbly another in Boston The idea has been sent
out from some irresponsible that the DISPOSE
ton Of so much real and personal property thus
left idle would follow the that similar COM
blnation did ten years ago The refncrfcs In
Baltimore closed The best Of the machinery
was saved and used in reftting the rcdncries in
New-York. The rest of the machinery was sold for
Junk and the buildings were converted into storage
warehouses. This is not the policy Of the present
combination. Another reason for the present sus-
pension is that the NewOrleans crop of refined sugars
Is due in October and, though small comes in COM
petition with the home refined sugar all at once"
In regard to the suspension ot secohu lbos,oh ~
refinery, indications In the trade point TO the Con
standard sugar Refinery Corporation 1t IS, how
ever stl In operation and no information could DC
obtained. The impression among other iehneiles
was that the Continental, which employs only eighty
hands, Is ono of the number TO be closed. No re
finer in or out OF the Irusl believed ,he rebor! o
The margin, they say is too marrow now to arouse
the refnSr enihusiasp and the handler Las the
stand, the tendency is toward lower prices.

to consider the state Of the Washington print

Of his partisans, President like Mr.. Cleveland
would be entirely at their mercy, and this COM

as the armed legions dictated to the Roman EN-

army OF voters, and any interference with their

fatal, both to the railroads and to the Govern

4 GOViRAMENT UNDER DURESS.

1t is seriously proposed that the railroad
hands throughout the country should be made
employees of the National Government, under
its control and pay. This, it is argued, would
put an end TO the wantOn interruption of traffic
and travel by strikes, TO the unreasonable de-
mands of employees by which the safety and
excellence of the service aIc often impaired and
to the bankruptcy of railroads in consequence
of the dictati0n Of workers. 1t is not at all clear
that any of these results would be attained by
the course proposed. Hands in Government
employ do sometimes strike, and there is
nothing to prevent their doing so whenever
any demand they please to make Is not granted,
unless the wages they receive are higher than
those generally paid for similar work. In u
great many cases the demands made by en-
ployes of the Government have been granted
when the public service was thereby rendered
moro costly and less efficient And it is only
necessary TO remember the shameful condition
of the public printing office at Washington to
realize that life and property would become
horribly insecure OH Iaill Dads managed by Coy
crnment officials.
The fact is that the strikers, who have so
wantonly disturbed business and travel, would
have their own sweet will if they had only poll
ticians to deal with. The number of the en-
ployes is so large that their votes would be
feared by every public officer not endowed with
rare heroism of character. In 1880 the CEN
sus reported 418,957 persons employed by rail-
roads operating S7,7o2 miles OF road or about
Al persons TO the mile. At that rate the
10000 miles of railIoad now in operation
would employ about 715,5OO persons and
nearly all of them voters. The patronage at the
disposal of such President as Mr.. Cleveland
would at single stroke be increased seven
fold About one Democrat in fifty can now get
some position under Government; more than
one in seven would then be in Government pay.
In the selection of these men, the power Of
patronage would be so vastly increased that
political principles would have infinitely little
to do with the conduct Of such party as the
Democratic
AS the next step, the power of the voting en-
ployes and their friends, being great enough
presumably to defeat almost any President or
any other elected official, would soon be exer-
cised to dictate terms to the Government The
wages paid, the hours of work. the rules of SER
| vice, would be just what the men might choose

SOMETHING THE PRIMERS WANT

THE TRIBUNE received the other day pack
age of plants which James Wick, the Rochester
scotsman, had expressed to Canada and caused
to be mailed there to us, because under the new
postal treaty with Canada he could send them a
great deal cheaper that way than he could mail
them from Rochester to New-YorlI. A Canadian
scotsman can mail seeds to q customer in the
United States at four cents pound plus the duty
the American scotsman must pay sixteen cents
pound. American seedsmen, not wanting to
see themselves driven out Of business by the
Canadians, have been sending plants to Canada
TO be mailed back to the United States, but Post
master General Dickinson has issued request
to the Canadian Government TO exact the full
and has ordered postmastcrs here to rate up all
such packages received. The result Is that the
great seed industry finds itself seriously imperilled
and the farmers are complaining loudly
There is an easy way to end this difficulty
1t is claimed that the treaty Is an advantageou
one 1t opens the mails OF each country TO all
matter mailabIe in the other and as each country
retains the postage on all matter mailed within
its borders, the revenue to the United States from
matter mailed TO Canada is much greater than
the revenue to Canada from matter mailed to the
United States. However this may be- q reduction
of the postage on seeds, etc, to four cents per
pound, the Canadian rate, will solve the whole
difficulty. reduction has been asked for by
almost every grange in the country. The farmers
want II. The Senate has unanimously passed a
bill making the reduction ~ four cents. Now
let the House concur.

right Of priority on the bench Justice Miller Is
thought by several to be entitled to the honor
while Justice Field IL considered by others an
ADLER man and moro worthy of advancement.
Apart from these there are numerous names
mentioned. Those most favorably regarded
are Mr.. James c. Carter, ex-Judge Hoadly and

Hoadly is the subject of warm praise on all
sides. but whether he is not much better lifted
to be an advocate than Judge is an open
question. Many New York lawyers practise
before the Supreme Court, and their Judgment
on this important question is naturally keen
and discriminating Still. Mr.. Cleveland is not
likely to be influenced largely by their opinions
