HELPING r.lIr loo', TRUST.

The poor Sugar Trust has been sup
plicating for tariff aims at the hands
Of the administration and Congress it
helped with its Doodle to elect and has
received them beautifully. 1t wants
more and stands in a fair way to get
more
And. vet. this concern is one OF the
worst and most insidious enemies OF
the people, for they cannot see, al
though they feel the heavy tribute it
LAYS upon the breakfast table.
In their testimony before the Lexow
Committee. the Havemeyers pointed
with pride to the fact that sugar is
much cheaper now than formerly, and
that since they went into the coffee
trade the price of coffee has declined.
But the committee elected the infor-
nation that Of the s75,OOO,OOO of the
stock of the Sugar Trust one-half paid
dividends of y per cent and one-half
paid dividends of per cent. No one
but the officers of the Trust know how
much Of this enormous capitalization
is water but it is a great proportion.
Il is probable that the profit on the
money invested is somewhere between
- ard 20 per cent. the figures Theo-
dore Havemcyer gave as including the
least profit that would induce him to
90 into business.
Why the price of coffee was reduced
nv the Havemeyers was explained by
the evidence showing that they went
into the coffee business 10 punish Ar
buckle for dabbling in sugar. Compe-
tition must be stopped at all hazards.
If competitors are too strong to be
killed they are absorbed.
Trusts never hesitate to sell as far
below cost as may be necessary to
bring an enemy to terms. When the
independent interest has been forced
IN surrender the losses are quickly re-
haired from the pockets of the people.
The plea that combines benefit the peo-
ple is false. The low prices resulting
from cut-throat practices are short
lived and when the war is ended the
public is squeezed worse than ever.
In the restriction of the output and the
tvranaical conditions imposed upon
trade. merchants and producers, as well
rs consumers. suffer from the trust. 1t
is the enemy of all classes of So
cietv and. yet, it is this monster that
the present administration and Con-
gress propose to strengthen and fortl-
~ behind a higher tariff wall.

SELLING CHEAPER TO FOREIGNERS.
The action of a Canadian railroad,
which has recently ordered all its en-
ployes to provide themselves with new
watches and named an American make
as satisfactory. brings to mind another
tariff illustration, showing how the
American consumer not only foots the
bill. but gets the worst of it, at that.
In order that. the American retailer
on this side of the line might secure
all this kind of trade, we have % per
cent duty on watches. But t'has simply
worked TO enable the foreigner to get
an American watch far cheaper in Can
ada than an American can buy it on
this side of the line, and at the same
time keep the cheap watches sold to
the foreigner from coming back TO the
American dealer.
This is not theory, but fact, verified
in the purchases of the employees of the
railroad in question. some living on one
side of the line and some on the other.
Mr.. Mckinley has recently reiterated
what he has long maintained, that the
coming tariffs will honestly measure
the difference between American and
foreign conditions. To this end, UNI
doubtedly. the new tariff proposes to
raise the duty on watches from % to 40
per cent.
Judging by the experiences of these
Canadian railway employees ordered to
buy watches, is this 40 per cent duty
calculated to raise revenue, or to force
the American consumer to pay 10 per
cent more for a watch than is charged
10 the Canadian over the border?
Is it unreasonable that the new tariff
thinkers should be asked to live up to
their own standards?
