THE sUGA,ss TRUSTS TROUBLES.

~ ~.
In 1893 the American Sugar Refining
Company paid dividend OF 211-2 per
cent. Since that time the dividend had
been II per cent. until day before yester-
day, when the directors declared quar-
terly dividend of 1 LIZ per cent. putting
the stock presumably on 6 per cent
basis. The reason assigned for this cut
is the war between the American Sugar
Refining Company and the new rehneries
built and operated by Arbuckle Brothers
and John Doscher & Sons. These ref1n-l
cries began operations in 1885, and there
has been war between them and the
Sugar Trust from that time until now.
There is valuable lesson here. The
American Sugar Refining Company re-
duced the price of sugar materially. In
deed, it gave the best and cheapest sugar
that. the world ever knew. Its goods we're.
very popular, and its profits were so
enormous that competition was invited.
Competition came, and with competition
necessarily there was a decrease in the
profits of the Sugar Trust.
The Standard Oil Company has also
made enormous profits. but has had no
opposition The reason for this is that
the Standard Oil Company has practi-
cally natural monopoly, and it is almost
impossible for any other company to COM
pete with it. but the American Sugar.
Refining Company had no such monopoly,
and as soon as it was seen that it was
making a large sum of money, other men
of means decided to go into the business.
The Sugar Trust pursued an unwise
course. If it had been content with a
profit of, say, 6 per cent. net, probably 1t
would have had no competition, and with
large sums of money. but it took advan-
tage, of the seeming monopoly which it
was enjoying to extortion on the public,
and. as was TO be expected, competition
soon Sprang up.
This must be the case ever, and that
insures the country at large against ex-
tortion for any length of time from
trusts. Wise trusts will mott invite COM
petition by extortion on their customers.
and so the public will not suffer from the
wise trusts The unwise trusts which
do extortion on the people will do so only
for a little while, because by so doing
they invite competition.
1t is often said that the trusts have
killed off competition. But it is not true.
There is competition between trusts,
either actual or implied. Let trust mis-
behave, and competition will surely come
: The only possible way for a trust to
prevent competition is by giving to the
consumer the best possible article at the
lowest possible cost.

CURRENT TOPICS.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
prints some figures showing the wonder
full growth of the cotton manufacturing
industry in the South. THAT the cot
ton growing section has entered upon
a period of cotton mill building says
the Journal of Commerce. that bids
fair to continue is evident. The South
itself contains but 5,774,361 spindles with
in its borders OF this total spindleage
in the South at present. 1850 spindles
will be contained in the seventy-three
new mills that are now in course of
actual construction. and the investment
in these new mills will be not less than
sl5ooo.ooo.
I'm January We showed then that the
reported mills of the year had announced
spindles to the number of about 1,SOo, 900;
and now 1t is known positively that
about 100000 of those spindles have been
made and are being placed in mills.
while great part of the remainder ere
ordered from the machinery makers and
will be furnished during 1s0O."
This Is In line with an editorial arr
ticle which appears in The Times to-day
and simply goes to confirm the statement
therein made that the South is the grow
