THE SUGAR TRUST SCHEME.
The following despatch which APP
e peared in our morning papers
: throws a sidelight upon the methods
s of the Sugar Trust:
Washington, August 25th.-Il
. passing on the tariff bill the Senat
II has got in sight of the sugar sche
s dule. At the same time the suga
|. trust comes in sight. Originally tn
q trust was opposed to anything NOR
= than reduction of 20 per cent il
u sugar duties, and this reduction
y would have gone largely into it
= pockets. 1t fought the action o
v the House in making sugar up t.
No. 16 free, and persuaded the Sc
nate Finance Committee to place tn
II line at No. 10, and give it addi
l. tional protection on other grades
W This meant free sugar for the trust
N but not for the consumers. Th
=. trust, having got the bill in th
~ shape, was opposed to any reciprt
a. city proposition. 1t is, therefore
as fighting to have the tariff bill pas
Sc the Senate in the form reported b
Nv the Finance Committee. A lare
- number of Republican Senators hay
I" agreed to support Senator Allisc
~ in the fight to have grades up
re No. &c made free, and it W;
,is thought Senator Aldrich, on beha
nd of the Finance Committee, won
M prevent any struggle by ordering :
ny amendment when he puts in his /
as ciprocity provision. But the tru
ug is exerting itself to prevent this. ]
W. draw the free line at No. 10, al
- then to direct the President to reil
pose the duty in the sugar-produci
lch countries did not reciprocate
re- within given time, would be ri'
be- culous. 1t would cause the count
nv to lose all interest in the subject
~ reciprocity, because the impressi
" would go out that this was in t
ply interest of the trust. Genuine
er- ciprocity, however, would be t
hardest blow that could be dealt
monopoly that controls the relini
industry.
