A GREAT

Mr. Cleveland and his party have
the opportunity of a lifetime. 1t
will be remembered that last year,
July n, Representative Hopkins, a
Republican member of congress
from Pennsylvania, brought a reso-
luton before the House to ascertain
what steps had been taken to in
qulre into the affairs of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company. Mr..
Hopkins stated at the time that
every Republican member of the
Ways and Means committee would
vote to repeal the duty on refined
sugar eff opportunity to vote on it
were given by the majority of the
committee" The democratic ma
jority IN the committee, however,
failed to afford the opportunity.
1t is just a year since the Sugar
Trust bought up all the competing
reineries in Philadelphia at a cost
of about SIC, 900, 900. Within the
year the price of refined sugar has
been SO advanced to the consumers
that enough money has been made
to pay the regular dividends, also
to declare an additional dividend of
10 per cent. and to carry over a cash
surplus of IS, 900, 900.
This monopoly has further re-
fused to supply information con-
corning it's affairs to the Superin-
tendent of the Census, and has
managed to evade the laws regulat-
ing trusts. The democratic party
has no better opportunity to make
a record for itself in the peoples
interests than by special legislation
aimed directly to crush and wipe
out this giant monopoly of the Uni
ted States. Will they do it?-
