Russell \. AIger. His Book.

Enquiry, presided over by Admiral
Dewey, is throwing upon 1t, those who

OF Detroit. once Secretary Of War in
Mr. McKinley's first Cabinet. On the
tenth Instant the Harpers will issue his
long expected book on The Spanish
American War" Advance sheets of
the work have been received by The
Times, and from them we deluce sew

is well written, and contains many in

The Sugar Trusts Latest Move.

The cut in the price of sugar to three
and half cents per pound net for
sranulated at Missouri River points is
illustrative of trust methods of doing
business. The purpose of the move is
clearly to injure the American Beet
Sugar Company, which operates mainly
in that territory. No trust ever vet
lowered prices in a spirit of philan-
thropy. 1t is always to hurt some one
else, to pinch weaker concerns, and
either force them out of business or
into the trust. Either being done, an
advance of the price is the next step
and 1t is certain to be enough to recoup
all losses sustained in the freezing-out
process, besides ensming the additional
profit which alway~ accompanies mora
complete control of tte markets.
The Sugar Trust is one Of the worst
in the world, and they are all bad
enough. This one is particularly OBJ
noXious because it preys upon every
body who uses sugar, which is prac-
tically the entire population of the
country. Its exactions fall with espe-
cial severity upon the middle and poor
er classes. with whom sugar is one of
the necessaries of life, and who use
very much more Of it in proportion to
their means than do the wea!thier peo-
pie. The true inwardness Of this latest
move has not yet fully appeared but
it is easy to imagine the object in
view. The Havemeyer concern will be
satisfied with nothing less than abso
lutte control Of the sugar industry. Fos-
tered and protected by the tariff, it
has amassad colossal wealth, and it can
well afford 10 sell sugar for time at
a loss if by doing so it can broaden the

The Archbishop of York has nearly par
alyzed the United Kingdom with a pas
toral letter proposing a day of national
humiliation because of recent reverses
of the British arms and of penitence for
national sins. The trade journals of Eng

there has been an effort to do away with

Il. That the orders were all offered tc
British manufacturers in the first in

''2. That the orders finally went to
America on question of the date of de-
livery
-. That the American tender was in
every case lower than the British.

made that an American locomotive is only

years, and that the makers themselves

engine over seven years old is out of

dedVored to obtain proof of this state

keep it when Americans can? II it

it would appear TO an outsider that, how
