MONOPOLY as A FINE ART.

The tariff reduction on sugar went into
effect last April and while consumers in
the Eastern states have been since ex-
periencing the benefit of the reduction
the price on the Pacific coast has con-
tinued without any material change.
That sugars should have fallen the full
amount of the tariff duty removed, was.
under the circumstances scarcely to be
expected. Sandwich Island sugars, it
is well known had for years been admit
ted free. These largely supplied the
wants of the Pacific Coast; but the en-
tire trade was under the control of one
man, Claus Spreckles, who fixed the price
to suit himself. The only thing that in
terfered with his charging us two or
three, or for that matter ten prices for
sugar was eastern competition, But the
effect of this competition was largely
neutralized by the excessive freight
charges on sugars imported from Eastern
states while there is little doubt that for
years Spreckles controlled these charges
in his own interest. Sd'
1t may be Interesting to our readers to
know the methods which this monopol-
1st now Carries on to deprive US of the
benefit of the tariff reduction and to
swell the immense volume of his own
wealth. The price of sugar at the San
Francisco refneries is regulated, not by
the law of supply and demand, but by
the distance of the purchaser from east
ern markets. The further the merchant
lives from San Francisco the less he has
to pay and, conversely, the nearer to San
Francisco the more he has to pay A
merchant in Omaha can buy sugar from
Spreckles for cent and half a pound
less than one in Portland or Seattle.
Thus if certainelass ofsugari is six cents

4 JOURNALISTIC PIRATE.

In morals the man who appropriates
to his own use the property of another
without license'or compensationis called
thief. In the code of journalism the
man is no less thief who appropriates
to his own use, without acknowledge
ment, the product of another mans
labor. If the editor of the Times-Moan-
tGineer has not sufficient energy to hunt
up local news for his paper he is the last
man on earth who should steal from the
CHRONICLE. paper and a writer
whom he has stigmatized by every epi-
thet known to his limited vocabulary
should be the last he would select to
pilfer from. That he has done so, we
make the charge without any reservation
and shall present the proof when he is
bold enough to demand it. If he must
copy the CHRONICLE let him acknowl-
edge it like an honest man and we have
nothing more to say.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1891-06-09

at the refinery it is AZ at Utah and l-5
at Cheyenne. If it is six cents to Port
land merchant it will be Az to one from
the towns of Idaho and Montana. A
Pendleton merchant buys his sugar in
San Francisco at "a of cent pound
cheaper than does one from Portland.
The scale of prices for the towns on the
Columbi biaerfver is as follows: Let it be
six cents for Portland, it will be also six
for The Dalles (Which by the way is very
kind,) So for Biggs, 534 for Arlington
55s for Umatilla and 53s for La Grande.
Arrangements are also made with the
wholesale merchants who buy directfrom
the refinery'to the following effect: If a
Portland merchant sells sugar to a mer-
chant in Pendleton he can cut the price
according to the refinery schedule and
the refinery allows him the "a cents
difference by way of rebate. Such are
the methods by which Claus Spreckles
retains his grasp upon the sugar con-
sumers of the Pacific Coast while he
bleeds them for all that is in them. The
scheme is reduced to fine art. 1t is
well to know its manner of working, but
there seems no way of present or pros
pectiye relief except by the reduction of
freight charges on ntranscontinental lines.
