The Sugar Trust.

Made desperate by the clear prospect
that the senate will reject the sugar
schedule now written in the tar IF bill,
saws the Washington Star, the Trust is
now resorting to a species of black-maii
to beat down the opposition. Cerain
senators who have announced their r n
,agonism to the iniquitous section die
tated BY the trust have been plainly
given to understand that unless they with
draw their objections they will find il
impossible to secure action on items in
which they are now interested. The
trust and its agents, in other words. are
playing section against section and para,
graph against paragraph, in the hope of
soaring the whole field into accepting
the trusts own clauses. But it is appar-
ent at this stage that the opposition will
resist this process, and that the threat
ened loss Of rates on specific Commodi
ties will not deter honest senators from
doing their duty by the whole country.
