HIGR4kE-OFF FOK rae TRUST

The Dingley bill as it passed the
/ House took excellent care of the dear
old sugar trust. which is so nice and
/ liberal in Smelling out campaign fat,
: hut the Senate committee thought the
| Trust deserved more and in the Senate
/ bill it got more. The duty is fixed on
sugar not above No. Is Dutch standard
/ at 1900 cent and SO per cent ad val
orem. and on sugars above No. Is at
] 1900 cents per pound and 50 per cent
ad valorem. That gives the sugar trust
a differential of S7-1OO cent per pound,
or three times as much as under the
| existing Wilson-Gorman tariff.
Under the Dingley bill or the Senate
! bill the consumer will have to pay
more for sugar than at present, and I'M
der either the sugar trust will have a
! larger margin of profit than under the
present tariff. The Republicans of the
committee in their estimates Of rev.
! enues under the new bill which they
| have furnished the. Democrats roughly
calculate the total sugar duty under the
new bill at S9O,OCO.OOO, against prob
able total of about $5O,0O0,O0O as pro-
vided by the original Dingley bill. This
will come directly out of the pockets
of the people in custom house taxes,
while many times that enormous sum
/ will be gathered in by the trust in the
/ shape Of protection In this connec-
1 ton it is interesting to note that the
! Sugar Trust is making extensive impor-
/ tations of raw sugars into this country
to take advantage of the passage Of the
/ Dingley bill. The importations at the
port of New Orleans have grown from
| 5.666. O35 pounds in January to S1,OOO,-
600 pounds in April. exceeding the i'm
portations Of the previous three months
by 100000.
In these vast importations Of raw
! sugars the Sugar Trust IS securing its
special rake-off Incidental to the in
crease of the sugar tariff. BY laying in
a vast stock of raw sugar it will gain
in addition to the difference between
the differential allowed by the Wilson
bill and the differential of the Dingley
/ bill the full increase of the tariff on
raw sugar. It will turn several millions
into its Golfers by the passage of the
Dingley bill
But it is reported that the Trust is
preparing to assume control of the beet
sugar properties and TO develop them
so that it will be able TO supply its needs
from its own plants. In that case it will
have complete control of the home mar
ket and will be able to rake in as profit
Utmost the entire tariff taxes on raw and
refined sugar. And thus, by the way,
goes glimmering the promise of cheap
beet sugar held out by science. Hav-
ing free raw sugar the Trust can add rs
cents to the price of sugar and still
undersel the German sugars.
These figures show the possibilities OF
profits TO the trusts through the man
ipulation of the tariff for their benefit.
Working with practically unlimited
capital. they can speculate probably
on the change of rates and then, taking
advantage of the tariff barriers, squeeze
millions out of the consumers. But the
more the trusts make from protection
the more grease there will be for the
campaign fat-friers.

\ POPULIST On THE CONSTITUTION.
State Senator Lockney, of Calhoun
county. according TO the Charleston
Gazette, which has recently interviewed
that gentleman. can see no use in the
Constitutional Amendment Commits
sion. 'Inever saw any necessity in, nor
use for the committee" says he. "All
this claptrap about the terribly bad
features in our present constitution,
come from chronic grumblers and kick
ers. who are ever clamoring for some
thing they really know not what"
And Mr.. Lockney maintains that the
Legislature. in joint assembly, could
have. in one days time, prepared and
proposed every needed amendment TO
our present constitution. and thus have
save the tax-burdened citizens of the
State at least the $4,000 which is being
virtually wasted by the present con-
stitutional committee.
There is truth and much food for
thought in this statement of the Popu-
list free lance of the State Senate, as
there is also in his remark that the
vicious, extravagant legislation of
recent years is not due to any fault of
our constitution, but to the kind of men
sent TO the capital to legislate. These
are good wholesome truths and the
cause of good government and economy
is indebted to Mr.. Lockney for uttering
them.

The big feed" to the inhabitants Of

This mighty feast will stop the
pangs of hunger in many stom-

those pangs are now working double

mia and the bitumintus Goals OF Nova SCI
tia Canada now admits anthracite free
and charges 90 cents a ton on bituminous
coal.
The new government in Canada came
into power with a proposition TO lower
tariff duties and il was proposed TO reduce
The rate on American coal 10 the same as
now levied by the United States-i0 cents.
This would tend to stimulate the con-
sumption Of American coal and increase
shipments from Ohio and PennsX wanna.
The Diucley increase to % cents has
changed the situation. and now there are
Canadian threats of retaliation by increas-
ing the duty on bituminous coal 10 10
cents and placing. for the first time, a
duty On anthracite.
That is the sort of protection" the Ding
ley bin is likely TO give American coal
miners.
