ROBBING THE HOUSEHOLD


From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The public issues which are involved in
an artificial enhancement of the price of
sugar are very well stated by the Ne1O York
Sun. That journal asserts that "high SUI
gar means misery to every civilized race, -
and goes on to explain that high priced
sugar means more costly coffee, tea and
other household beverages, higher priced
cakes, more expensive desserts, preserves,
pies, and all such delicacieS. These may
be regarded as luXurieS; but the deliber-
ate cutting off of the luXurieS of the COM
mon people for the benefit of a clique of
spectators may very well take rank as a
crime against the public interest.
Our contemporary which puts the case
in this terse and lucid manner says that
the present scarcity will continue with
corresponding prices until new beet crop
gives the world fresh supply" 1t is pos
Sible that the supply of raw sugars is di-
minished, but that is not the only, nor in
deed the main cause for the present high
price of this household staple. The real
cause is the combination of the refinerS
which imposes a double or triple charge
for refining the sugars that are used by
the people of this country. They thus at
once diminish the rewards which stimu-
late production of raw sugars and levy an
unnecessary and unjust tax upon the con-
SumerS of refined sugars.
1t is vital part of the problem that this
illegal tax upon the consumers of the en-
tire country is levied in defiance of law.
The decision of the New York Court is
conclusive upon this point. Ought not
the public to find some method of protect
ing itself against illegal eXtOrtiOns of this
sort more prompt in its operation than is
found in waiting until increased prOduc-
tiOn rectiiies the wrOngf
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1889-06-20

In another column will be found an
article, copied from the Cincinnati Com
anercial- Gazette, descriptive of the meth
ods of the Sugar Trust, that gigantic
monopoly which is fattening off the
people of the country.
Trusts are organizations of producers,
formed to control the price of the arti-
Gle they produce. The control is always
in favor of the producer, and against
the consumer.
Defense against these monstrous mo-
nopolies is the most important duty the
people have to perform. Gradually
they are getting control of everything
required for the use of man; and the
more necessary the article may be, the
more desirable the trusts regard it.
The family and the State alike de
mand that men shall unite against
them, and that under no circumstances
shall they support for public office any
individual who upholds any of these
great monopolies that are organized to
pluck the people.
There should be no politics known,
when representative of monopoly pre-
sents himself for office. The People
must stand by their right to fair compe-
tition. as against organized monopoly,
regardless of every other consideration.
The exactions of the Sugar Trust are
now being felt by every householder in
the land. The voters must see that that
mOnstrous robbery is strangled. Their
representatives in Congress, in the House
and Senate, can afford relief from these
organizations against the People, and if
they do not should be held to stern ac-
countability.

THE SUGAR TRTST.

From the Cincinnati COmmercialCiaZette.
One authority puts the value of the su-
gar plant at Sl5,OOOOOO but this is capi-
talized at S6O.OOO,OO0. The stock sells in
the open market at. say 50.
This would indicate the payment of
dividends on S4S.OOO.OOO, being S33. .OOOOV
in excess of the original cost and bOHd .fit
value of the plant An Eastern authority
says that the stories of the enormous gains
of the Sugar Trust, eXtravagant as they
seem, are probably not much exaggerated
although some accounts put them as higll
as from S30,OOOOOO to S40OOO.O0O year on
capital of S50,OOO,OO0. And these unjust
and unreasonable profits are made out OF
the necessities of the people The millions
to whom an advance of two or three cents
pound on sugar means serious incOnve-
nience, if not actual deprivation and suf-
fering. are the victims from whom the
gains of the millionaire mOnOpOlistS are
eXtOrted.
1t is stated upon reliable authority that
sugar reliner in Boston sold his concern
to the Trust for 100000, receiving trust
certificates equal to three to one of the
sale price, or S2,7OO,OOO, upon which, after
few months operation, six per cent
dividend was paid

CLEVELAND AND 1892.

New York Press.
In the election of Hon. Rainbow
Chasing Brice, Chairman of the Nation
al Committee and the supremacy of the
Cleveland clique at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel yesterday, the Democracy not on
ly announces its policy for 1892, but its
candidate.
In brief, the Democratic party will GO
before the country opposed, as usual, to
every public measure calculated to add
to the material advancement of the ma
tion and give employment to the people.
1t is opposed to the traiff system and
will sweep it away if granted the power.
1t is opposed to coast defenses and to
generous appropriations for the navy.
1t is opposed to building up our mer-
chant marine and improving American
commerce by the methods employed by
every other commercial nation in the
world
1t is opposed to liberal pensions for
the veterans of the war, and regards
the pittance earned by sacrificing health
and limbs on the field of battle as "oUT
DOOR PAUPER RELIEF"
1t is opposed to a fair election and
honest count in the Southern States, and
is ready to abolish the civil compact of
majority rule.
1t is opposed to education in the
Southern States because that will lead
to political independence.
1t is opposed to the abolition of the
tax on tobacco, largely paid by the plant
ers and farmers of the South, and the
infamous tax on every bushel of corn
converted by farmers into a fluid used
in the arts and manufactures.
1t is opposed to developing the South
American trade by encouraging Amer
lean ship owners with mail contracts
such as those freely given to our foreign
mails.
In short, the Democratic party has
flung its banner to the breeze with little
else on it save cleveland and 1892"
Its cry of "plutOcracy," emanating from
a journalistic plutocrat, with a typical
plutOcrat like Mr.. Brice as Chairman of
the National Committee, is not likely to
deceive many, while the insane cry of
"free whisky" spent itself last fall.
Upon the whole, the Democratic par
ty commences business with no capital
except opposition to all that is most
progressive in legislation and most
necessary for the welfare of this great
nation.
No wonder that party with such a
record and such ignoble aims is obliged
to take up defeated Presidential can
didate for its standard bearer The
choice lay between Cleveland and Hill.
A party thus reduced deserves defeat.
