SUGAR TRUST AND ITS STEALS

1t would seem that the transaction
whereby the sugar Trust was compelled
to pay into the United States Treasury
~, 1000, 600 which it had stolen by weigh
ing frauds, and to make restitution
to the Pennsylvania competitor it had
bankrupted, are only installments in an
almost unparalleled story of theft and
plumber. Charges made by the New
York Sun Indicate that the sugar free
hooters have been robbing the Govern
ment for more than twenty years the
total of stealings amounting to upward
OF $50, coo, 900.
The estimates now made of the Trust
plundering will be misnamed dis
coveries and revelations In reality
they are neither. They are in the
nature of Il casting up of accounts
Practically all the transactions are
shown on the records of the New York
Custom House. For years complaints
have been rife that the Sugar Trust
was making money by illegitimate
methods, methods not only unlawful in
the sense that any trust is a conspiracy
in restraint of trade but unlawful as
measured by standards of common
honesty in dealings between man and
man and the citizen and the govern
ment
One could wish that a Juvenal would
appear to adequately write satire
upon the lameness of our legal resources
against this powerful and piratic cor
poration, for as to much of what had
happened, satire is the only redress.
During the two decades in which the
trusts have been carrying OH it's steal
ings with impunity. guilty parties haye
died, and the intervention of the
statute of limitations to prevent punish
ment for some of the more recent frauds,
shows how little chance there is for
, even partial justice to he done But
the great question and one which will
be unanswerable by the Republican
party, is why successive Republican adj
ministrations have remained idle and
