sisters, who were attlred In bloomers

their mules. We postponed our de-

entertaining the Jeifs. as nearly two
months had elapsed since We had eth

women. The natives had never seen or

influence and assistance Of friends she
was persuaded 20 allow him to go to

THE SUGAR TRUST.

Daily Item.
An attack upon the Sugar Trust
by the Republicans is said to be
in order. While it is admitted
that the sugar producer should be
protected, there is strong senti-
lnent against the Trust profit by
any legislation enacted. 1t is in
bad odor with the people of the
country, and the st. Louis Globe
Democrat boldly pronounces it
'the oldest, the most powerful,
and one of the most nefarious of
all the combines aided in any way
by the tariff"
The Sugar Trust has grown enor-
mously rich. 1t has long been in
existence and has had things its
own way, all along. There must
be a change; one which will ena.
BILE the producer, who puts out biz
money and labor, to be rewarded
which will render it impossible
for flint-hearted combines to regu
late prices and demand.
An end to all trusts. They arr
a huge imposition upon the PEG
pie and will ruin them unless ther,
be arrest put to their progress.
