SUGAR TRUST MISERY.

AAA1A
Some time ago the sugar trust created
a great sensation by announcing
that 1t had entered into an agree
ment with all the wholesale grocery
houses in the country, the main provision
Of the deal, besides the rebates granted
to the grocers by the reAneries, being
that the grocers bound themselves to buy
sugar of nobody outside Of the trust
itself.
All Of sudden certain Boston inter
ests that had confidently been expected
to uphold any agreement that was made
by the sugar trust, backed out and abso-
lutely refused to carry out any Of the
provisions Of the compact entered into by
the trust and the wholesale grocers.
Naturally, there was great indignation
when it was learned that these Boston
interests had made another deal on their
own hooks. The reason Of the detection
has just been ascertsined-it having been
q securely guarded secret till yesterday.
The new tariff bill was passed last
year, after deal Of expensive lobbying
on the part of the trust magnates. The
country heard for some time q good deal
of sixteen Dutch standard and other like
terms.
One thing, however, was overlooked.
Under the present tariff German sugar
can be imported 80 that the German re-
finerS are easily able to underbld the
trust rehners. The Boston refinery found
1t was having its trade taken away, and
80 it just went and sold to the grocers at
a price to suit itself.
The sugar trust re6ners are aghast at
the discovery. It means heavy losses TO
them. It means business at a figure that
leaves scarcely any margin Of profit to
the magnates, and the trust people are
In high dudgeon over the trick played
them. They threaten to boycott every
wholesale grocer that buys any sugar ex-
cept that refined by the trust.

INSURANCE.
r Of TEE ADVOCATE.

70 again call the attention OF our mem
bership to one Of the (lf not the most) val
liable provision instituted by our order
for the use and benefit of its members,
that Of insurance. This no one can for a
moment doubt or dispute, who has, or
win, take the pains to investigate and as
certain what enormous sums are paid out
annually for the benefit Of insurance,
now going out Of Kansas To enrich the
already fabulous wealthy corporations
doing business In the state; but the vast
sums, in very large measure, leave the
state, and the commonwealth 10 thereby
drained of that amount OF It's life's finan-
cial blood, or, what is worse, returned to
unfortunate real estate owners in the
shape Of loan at q wealth-absorblng
rate Of interest. So that if by the use Of
provisions Of our own each individual
pays as much, even, for his insurance,
and we only prevent the outflow Of 20
great an amount Of money, and for per-
forming Its proper functions as medium
Of exchange at home, we are doing our
selves q vast amount Of good. But when
we can save to each individual by odds
the larger part Of the amount now being
charged by others, we are certainly bene-
filing our entire community by each saw
wing. And this, we affirm, may be done
by cooperation, along this line Of our
provision; and the more we practice Co
operation in insurance, as In any other
line Of business undertaking, the greater
the benefits derived. In fact, by coop
Grafton only can this great country Of
ours be rescued from the plutocratic,
monopolistlc control.
We now have our own property insur-
ance in successful operation for
over six years, under its original and
present name and management; has al
ways paid Its losses promptly and in full,
according to justice and equity; is to-day
much stronger than It has ever been, and
is developing In numerical and financial
strength with unprecedented rspldity,

agement Of some of our most trustwor-

ident, and Hon. Fred Jackson, McPhel
son, member of our last Legislature. /
am glad to say our life line Of insurance
Is progressing splendldly. We now have
about one thousand applications and 1t iS
expected that the association will be
ready to begin issuing policies by the
first Of July next.
Let 1t be borne In mind that It Is the In
tention of the board Of directors Of this
association not to begin business until
there are enough membership to insure
thorough reliability. It is very neces-
sary, also, that all those whose spplica-
tions have already been made out, and
whose notes have been given, that they

CLUB EXPENSES.
What It Costs % Ron tho FAshIosab IL
Clubs OF New York.

Clubs OF New York.
Few people outside of the governing
bodies of the big clubs have any idea Of
the vast amount of money which it takes
to run the larger New York clubs, says
the Sun Of that city. A club is not
money-making institution, and the gov
ernors aim to so grade the charges for
meals, wines, liquors, cigars, etc., as to
sell them just little above cost, but
the receipts from the restaurant and cafe
Of big club like tho Manhattan or
Union League are, nevertheless, enor-
nous. Since the Manhattan Club took
possession of the Stewart mansion it's
always famous cuisine-acknowledg
the best in New York clubdom-has
been more than ever in de mand. From
one hundred and fifty to two hundred
members of the club dine there every
night, and the night which is not
marked by two or three private dinner
parties is the exception. Including the
receipts from the restaurant, the sale of
wines, liquors and cigars, the income
from billiards and other games, etc.,
the club has revenue of nearly 81 200
day, exclusive of initiation fees and
dues. There are more than 1900 mem
bOho VI OhO Slup, auu do cdCh sOuO pays
seventy dollars year for dues, the club
thus nets the snug sum of about $50, 200
year in this way, to say nothing of the
aggregation of two hundred and fifty
dollars initiation fees from incoming
members. Take it all in all, the total
receipts of the Manhattan Club for the
coming year will probably be somewhere
between 100000 and 100000. AS all,
or nearly all, Of this mozeJ will be ex-
pended in running the club, it will be
seen that it costs something like 81, 500
day to maintain the Manhattan Club.
Its most formidable rival, the Union
League, is not so far behind in the way
of receipts and running expenses. Last
year the receipts of the Union League
from all sources was 1896, 42S. As. So
nearly were the receipts and expenses
balanced that the outlay of the club for
the same period was 1895, 24O.14 OF the
total income, about $115, 900 came in the
form of dues; $4,000 from initiation
fees; about $62, 900 from the restaurant:
$40, 600 from the sale of wines and liq-
uors; $32, 900 from lovers of the weed:
$50, 600 for lodgings, and S4, 200 from bill
lards and other games.
