Sugar Trust Profits Cinehed.

The trusts have cinch ON Dingley
bill profits. OF course they will make
many times more if the bill becomes
law in anything like its present shape.
but they are already engaged in taking
part Of their profits
Sugar has risen considerably in antic-
ipation of greatly increased duties,
and merchants all over the country are
laying in stores because still higher
prices are expected. The Sugar trust is
consequently busy and rolling up profits.
In April it imported 757, 799, 527 pounds
Of raw sugar, valued at ga, 747, l39. An
extra profit of one-half cent per pound
ON this amount-which is already real
ized on guaranteed-means nearly $4,-
900, 600 to the trust.
If the hill is two months longer in its
passage, tie trust will surely pocket
$40, 900, 900 extra profits before the bill
becomes law. Who says protection is
not a good thing? And why shouldn't
Senator Aldrich push it along and in
turn get his street railway syndicates
pushed along by the Sugar trust? Isn't
this reciprocity? Wouldn't Aldrich be
an migrate if he should desert his friends
and hackers when he has an opportuni-
ty to help them?

Is the country to be afflicted with a
second sugar scandal? Are the senators
from Havemeyer" ex-officio members Of
the finance committee, and are they to
be permitted to dictate the important
sugar schedule?-C Chicago Evening Post
(Ind. Rep }.
The senate committees bill, whether
designed to do so or not, will give the
trust great advantage should it be-
come law. For that reason the country
is bitterly opposed to the senate sugar
schedule, and if the senate will heed
the voice of the people that schedule
will not be embraced in the new tariff
Indianapolis Journal (Rep).
The storm over the sugar schedule is
steadily increasing. All the examina-
tions which have been made since its
report, instead Of clearing it up, only
make it look the blacker. 1t has appar-
emily been made of very complicated
character to battle analysis and to dis
guise job, but, intricate as it is, it
does not conceal the fact that it en-
braces a very large differontial for the
benefit Of the trust. This conviction is
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories of personal profit in connection
with t.-Philadelphia Press (Rep. }.
The specific charge by responsible
newspaper in Chicago that three MEM
bers of the senate speculated in the se-
crets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule ON the senate tariff bill
had been framed, and profted $50, 900
by the transaction, is altogether too seri-
Gus to be treated by the senate with
contempt or indifference.
The peculiar influence which the
magnates of the Sugar trust have exerted
in the framing of the new sugar sched-
ule has already created suspicious as to
the integrity of the trainers of the bill.
If the charge against the alleged specu-
lators shall not be investigated, it will
serve to strengthen, if not confirm,
this suspicion. Philadelphia Bulletin

where can be found a more sociable peo-
pie than the Californian, every one

made to make the tourest happy, they
all know how to entertain and it is
through their efforts that California
is what it is today. While at the
Hights, HOnsiers concert band dis
corSed sweet music which resounded
through hill and yale until the echo
died out on the plane below.
Monday finds us back in Frisco
visiting the Academy ofScience with
its monster elephant standing 16i feet
high, animals of all description. We
gaze upon the wonders of nature until
our eyes grew weary, and we moved
on to the open board of trade San
FranciscO's Pride. there one can gaze
upor. :grandest display of fruits the
state has ever given. The writers pen
fails to give but faint description of
the products of the state, it must be
seen to be appreciated. Any one from

display. If see anything of import
