TIE Globe-Democrat 0rowls at tt

Tie Globe-Democrat growls at the
Sugar Trust as supplying by its rapac-
ity powerful argument in favor of
free trade in sugar. The G. d. is
right. Every cent of tariff on sugar
should be removed. Any government
that will throw the arm of protection
around such robbers and plunderers as
the sugar makers is not a govern
ment of, for and by the people. What
is true of the sugar tariff is true of the
tariff on a number of other things. In
almost everything that is manufac-
tured there is trust or combination
to raise prices and increase profits.
If trusts must exist, then let the gov
eminent withdraw its aid and coun-
tenance from them by, reducing the
tariff. Men who are not satisfied with
the large profits they have made under
quarter of century of protection
but seek 20 increase them fIlrther-in
many instances doubling them as in
the case of sugar, cotton bagging and
binding twine-by forming trusts, do
not deserve to be protected. They have
forfeited all claim to it, and have
earned instead the hatred and detesta
ton of the people.

THE Chicago Tribune, which is do
ing better detective work in the Gro
min case than the Chicago detectives
themselves, finds that Micheal Boland
of Kansas City, like Alexander Sulli-
van, was a speculator also and spent
large sums of money that way in
late years. Boland is one of the
three men composing the now famous
triangle" Summing up his career
the Tribune says:
1T is certainly fact that from
1873, when he left the Office of prose-
cutting attorney of the city court of
Louisville, to 1889, when he became
recorder of Kansas city, he was law
yer in name only. Yet in these ten
years he lived well, travelled extensive
ly, handsomely entertained his friends,
loaned money and specialized in any
thing from a horse race to railroad
stock. How did he manage to do it?
He had saved nothing, could have
saved nothing from his four criminal
cases in Louisville, prior to 1874. He
obtained no money from his marriage;
inherited no money. He has never
been in business. He admits that he
lost at speculation. Will he not make
known his valuable recipe to an anx-
iouS and admiring public?

that the Missouri, Kansas s. Texas
railway, which has taken new lease
of life since it passed from under the
control of Jay Gould. has been seeking
an entrance into Kansas City. 1t is
now stated that this project is to be
perfected by the purchase of the Kan

the means required for this purpose
are to be furnished by Holland capital

proportion of the bonds of the road.
The undertaking contemplateS the
location of the general offices of the
entire system at Kansas City, with ex-
tensive terminal facilities in the East
Bottoms. The movement is a Signifi-
cant recognition of the growing i'm
portance OF Kansas City as a railway
center, and it will render tributary ia
this place large area of territory
which is rich in agricultural and min
eral resources. Kansas City compels
by the peculiar advantages of its loca-
ton, the attention OF capital. and it is
bound to become great railroad and
manufacturing center.
