IT HAS been said that the sugar trust
wrote the sugar schedule. The astute.
ness of the trusts lobby has been d.
lated on. They concocted a schedule
so mysteriously devised that no one has
been found yet able to tell just how
much tax and how much bonus there is
i'll it. But the trust slipped cog in
neglecting the unimportant provision at
the close that covers imports of coufec-
tionery. A little provision crept into
this part of the schedule which knocks
the trust gallevwest, and is found in
the words, land ON sugars after being
refined, when tinctured. colored or in
any way adulterated, IS per cent ad
valorem." The addition of little -four
or other harmless aduiteranr will let in
refined sugar at this rate and escape the
40 per cent and one-eighth cent pound
additional on which the trust depends
for its stealings. 1t looks as if the
surrender to the trust" had a string to
it. Sugar stocks have declined since
the discovery Of this little joker.
