PROTECTION THE CAUSE.
Trusts Created and Fostered by Republic
an Legislation.

The sugar trust was the product OF
republican legislation. The tariff act
of 1898, which taxed raw sugars at IA
cents pound and upward, gave to re-
fined sugars protection Of 3 to 81
cents pound. The desire to retain
this enormous bounty led to the com
bination of the refining interests to re-
strict domestic competition. and the
trust was formed. When the McKin-
lev bill was under consideration there
were still some independent refners"
left. who swore that they would never.
no never sell out to the trust. Every
body understood this except those who
were willfully blind. The Mckinley
law gave The refineries SIS, 100000 .
year and the ''indepe ndent refinerie s."
the stool pigeons Of the trust, sold out,
as every body Of intelligence had fore
seen they would. In 1890 the republic
ans said the refners needed protec-
ton. some saying that the amount
should be as much as 1 cent a pound.
Now they say the refineries need no
protection or very little, which all in
telligent people have known for years.
Still the republicans are unanimously
in favor of the retention Of the McKin-
ley law. which gives the trust s25, 000.-
600 year. This law, they say. is the
'.bravest and best revenue bill ever
enacted"
The sugar trust Is but one of scores,
almost all of which were allowed by
Maj Mckinley to decide what tho
taxes on competing products should
be. Henry Oliver went back from
! Washington to Pittsburgh and boosted
