HOW THE PUBLIC PAYS
 THE FINES FOR RELATING.

Laws ,elating to criminal practices of the large corporations are of very limited corrective value as long as they do not carry the penalty of imprison. mcnt. This is particularly true of con. cerns supplying necessary commodities to 9 wide market which they virtually control against unfriendly competi. ton.
 A few days ago the American Sugar Refining company was fined $s0,000 for accepting rebates from the New York Central. Of course the fine will be paid in the end by tho consumers of sugar, and tho middlemcn mainly the consumers. A tiny fraction added to the wholesale price of sugar quickly re. imbprses the company, and after that the company loses interest. But the iAereass to middlcmen is passed along down through the retailers to the con.
