Fierce Fight on Between the Great

Sides and Minimum is

NKw York, Aug A bitter fight

called away from the city by the fatal
illness of his father, f, C. Havemeyer.
While he was away the sugar trust main.

but Claus Spreckels announced
reduction of Lie cent per pound,
cutting seriously into the trade of the
sugar trust. Yesterday President Have

sugar trust price reduced lie below the
cut made by SPEECHES, The latter today
made another cut, bringing his price l'l6
below the price asked by the trust The
reductions made oeing in the price for
qranulated sugar down 20 four
cents per pound in Phila-
delphia, on which two per cent. is allowed
off making the next cash price 8 90-l00
cents, lowest on record The price named
by the trust is lie. In August, 1889,
after the formation Of the trust, sugar
sold at 50 cents per pound. A curious
feature of the fight is that in the raw
sugar market both parties are urgent buy
ers and the sugar trust today bought raw
sugar at 80 l-l6 cents. This brings the
profit of refining down to a very low

CLEVELAND AND LAMONT
Wonderment AS to How they Obtained
their Fortunes.


Before Daniel Lamont becomes a candi-
date for public office, there is one thing we
would like to have explained. He went to
Washington in 1885 a poor man, and he
remained there until 1889 on u salary that
would not allow of any great saving. He
is now said to be millionaire, and was
said to be a millionaire almost Immediately
after the close of the Cleveland administra-
ton. How did he get his money?
The case of Mr.. Cleveland has been
something of puzzle to plain people.
He had very moderate fortune when
nominated for governor, and according to
report, spent about a quarter of 1t IN the
canvass. In the course of five years he
went through two presidential canvasses
which must have been costly also. HIS
earnings as governor and president in six
years we're 1920 900, a handsome sum; but
his expenditures must have been pretty
heavy. Immediately on retiring from
office he bought house in New York ard
a cottage by the seashore, aud took up a
style of life that only very wealthy man
could adopt. To be sure he cleared
500, 900 out of the Red Top Job; but even
that would hardly account for his apparent
lOdllCldl y DSltlJu. Ills buSlutho NuNNC00
while in politics is certainly remarkable,
but Mr.. Lannon'S is more So
There are other members of the Cleve-
land administration who seem to have en-
joyed unusual financial prosperity in the
service Of their country. Apparently these
gentlemen found public office not only a
public trust, but a private Eldorado.
1t may be only a coincidence, but old
readers will remember the case Of George
NJ. Dallas. He was elected by the vote Of
his state PENNSYLVANIA. which was carried
by the cry, Polk, Dallas, Old Pap Skunk
and the Tariff of AZ. " When the vote Of
the senate was tie on the Walker tariff,
he passed it, casting his vote as vice presi-
dent, and the iron workers Of Pennsyl-
vania, covering their pudding furnace
chimneys with Dallas night caps, the
empty -four barrels their wages would nc
longer fill, moved west.
Before his election, Mr. Dallas was sup
posed to be in impecunious circumstances,
but he returned to Philadelphia in attluent
circumstances after his four year service
at Washington. Mr. Dallas, however, de
liyered the goods.

thousands OF workmen at nigh wages.
This is another fruit of the Mckinley
bill.
Mr. Mills is so anxious to be speaker
that he is willing to be free trader, a
protectionist or "reformer, according to
Whom he is talking with. But Congress-
man Johnson of Ohio says Il am for

BEGINNING 10 BEGIN -
That Seems to Be the Condition Ut the Tin
Plate Industry

An article in another column from a
trustworthy source shows that the tin
plate industry is beginning to make a
beginning in this country. The sneers of
the sneerers and the lies of The liars have
had their day When the fact is that the
foundations of great manufactures have
been laid already, and new labor saving
inventions have been patented, and that
great plans of industries have been per-
fected, incredulity should cease.
The free traders shout that no American
tin plate has been produced in commercial
qualities. The answer is hat American
manufacturers are investing hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in experimental tin
plate plants But a more satisfactory
answer is the fact that American inventors
have patented new methods of rolling steel
plate. of preparing the plate for the tin
ming process and for the tin bath that
will take the place Of the sixpence a.
day labor by which this work has been
done in England and Wales, and which
will give US tin plate cheaper in the end
than any price at which imported tin plate
has ever been sold.
This is the history, repeated over and
over again, of all protected American in
dustries. it is the history Of the steel rail
manufacture. Of the wire nails manuiact-
ure and of every other industrial enterprise
that protection has created In this country
