A TRIcK OF rHE TRUsTs.

It has been often charged that for the purpose Of
holding on to their monopoes the trusts will go to any
length to crush out a competitor. No one has any
doubt Of the general truth of this charge Very inter-
esting evidence as the method OF the crushing of
competitor by the trust given by Mr. Henry
o. Havemeyer the president Of the trust in his testi
mony before the senate committee Cuban relations
on Thursday.
Mr.. Hayemeyer testified that the beet produc-
ers were competitors Of his company; that last sum
mer finding that the beet sugar men were securing
trade in the Missouri valley he put down the price OF
his sugar in that section 3s cents, which was less
than cost while the price in Atlantic coast points was
maintained az cents. When the trade was entirely
restored TO the prices restored to their nor
NAL status which is the New York rate, with freight
rates added.
Under these conditions" asked Senator Teller,
where are the beet sugar to sell their product"
Il DO not know" Mr.. Havemeyer answered. That
is their business and they won't tell me. because they
know that if they did I would get at them again"
In response to further questioning, Mr. Hayemeyer
said that ito secure his share of the trade he put
it--that is TO destroy a commercial rival-he would
go any length For that purpose" to quote his exact
words 81 will go as far as my directors will allow me
AS long as there is any money in our treasury"
Now here Is a great combination, which produces
so per cent Of all the refined sugar consumed the
United States In order to compel the people to pay
its prices it puts down its prices below cost wher
it finds competitor and then raises them again
when the competitor is forced out of business in that
particular locality.
The sugar trust viii do this not only in one local..
ty, but in every locality where it hnds a competitor
To crush a competitor and gain the power to charge
the people its prices president frankly says
that he will spend all the money the trusts great
treasury.
Tricks of the trusts OF this sort it is the aim of the
democratic party to prevent. No combination with a
monopoly should be permitted to do business. If the
trust broken up into several smaller corporations
each could do legitimate business at a fair profit,
and the competition between the different concerns
would keep prices down to the benefit OF the people
This savage method of crushing out competition ia
not peculiar to the trust Other trusts the
thing. Ihe sugar is only taken as an exam
pie on account OF Mr.. Havemeyer's explicit testimony
to just how the thing is done and how competition
is crushed out that the people may be at the trusts
mercy.
