The $3o,ooo,ooo Action
Against Sugar Trust
Settled Out Of Court, by Agree
ment Of Contendlng Parties.
Terms Not Made PubIie-.-counsel
Decline TO Discuss Agreement.

New York, June 8.-After two weeks
of tria! in the United States district
court, the $3OO00,OO0 suit OF the Penn
sylvania Sugar Refining Co, against
the American Sugar Refining Co. the
so-cailed trust, was settled out OF court
here this evening.
The terms of the settlement were not
made public and counsel for both plain
tiff and defendant declined to discuss
the agreement, other than to say that
an understanding had been reached
and that a statement would perhaps.
be forthcoming tomorrow.
The suit was one of those familiar
yet complicated legal moves instituted
every now and then by smaller con-
Germ against an alleged monopoly
charging in effect that it had been driN-
en- out of business. In this case Wit
nesses testified that AdOlph Segal CT

for which he gave as security $4,000
shares of the Pennsylvania Sugar Re
filming Co., together with voting trust
certificate for the same which was to
run until the repayment of the loan.
With the power thus conferred upon
him Kissel installed himself and three
of his clerks as directors of the indie
pendent Sugar Co. and with control Of
the board Of directors he passed re-
markable resolution which declared
that the then almost completed refin-
err, said to be one of the most econom-
ical ever built. should not be opened or
orerated until further order of the
board. That resolution, the plaintiff
onntended. was drafted by John +.

IN DEFENSE OF TARIFF BILL.
Senator Aldrch Shows How the Meas
ure Undoubtedly Will Be a
Revenue Producer.


Opponents of the pending tariff bill
especially those who represent what
is left of the ariff-for-revenue-only
crowd of the Wilson Cleveland era
have asserted with much emphasis
that the measure ii enacted would not
produce sufficient income to meet the
current expenses of the government.
1t was in answer to this charge that
Senator Aldrich addressed himself
when he asserted that the pending bill
would be more efficient revenue
getter than the Dingley tariff law, and,
with reasonable economy in expendi-
lures, would produce a surplus in the
treasury of s30,00O,OO0 by the end of
the fiscal year 1911
The senator asserted that if the pro
visions of the pending bill had been in
force in 1907, which he cited probably
as the last year of normal trade condi-
tions, they would have resulted in col
lections $S,000,000 in excess of those
which were made under the Dingley
tariff law. The increased revenue-pro-
ducing efficiency which he claims for
the new measure he attributes to ad-
Vances on wine spirits and a few
other luXuries, and to stricter provi-
sions for appraisals.
A significant portion of the senator's
speech was that in which he demanded
an end of congressional extravaganza.
He affirmed his belief that the appro-
prlations made last year could have
been reduced 10000, 900 without i'm
pairing the efficiency of the public
service, and suggested action in future
by the senate committee on public ex.
penditures whereby the responsibility
for future eXtravagances might be
closely fixed
The recommendation of Senator AL
drich that authority be given in the
pending bill for the issue of three per
cent. bonds redeemable at the pleasure
OF the government, to obtain means
for the completion of the Panama
canal, will excite discussion 1t is
true, as Senator Aldrich says, that ex.
listing legislation authorizes only two
per cent. bonds which must not be sold
AT less than par. 1t is also true that
these bonds will be purchased only by
or for national banks intending to use
them as basis for circulation. The
senator's recommendation in regard to
three per cent. bonds will be looked
upon as a corollary of the currency
policy which he intends to expound to
the country on his western tour after
the close of the special session of con-
gress.

IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE.
President Taft's Idea of Trip
Through the Country Is a Most
Excellent One.

Half humorously, President Taft
was called the travelling man of the
administration preceding his own. He
was travelling man who made good
to "the firm" and his usefulness in
that capacity, together with the
knowledge of the world in its relations
to the United States government
which he acquired, went far toward
convincing the country of his qualifi-
cations to fill the Office he now holds.
1t is pleasing to note that as presi-
dent Mr.. Taft is not inclined to relin-
quish the travelling habit, and it is to
be hoped that nothing will prevent the
carrying out of plans announced for
Swing around the circle" during the
for the presidency he covered the
country pretty thoroughly, from the
Atlantic coast into the far west, and
also into the south. But a campaign
ing tour is one thing and a trip en-
bracing a liberal itinerary when the
traveller journeys in his official ca.
pacity as the chief executive of 9O,-
Undoubtedly President Taft appre-
ciates the Importance of getting into
close touch with the people of the diff
ferent sections as an aid to carrying
out the policies which he hopes will
bring success to his administration.
His projected trips, which will take
him into New England, into the south
and later across the continent to the
Pacific coast, will not be like those of
a president reaching the end of his
elective term and seeking favor on
the eve of an approaching convention
to choose a successor, but they will
be trips marking the beginning of his
presidential office, prior to the time
when opportunity will be presented
to push the policies which he desires
to see enacted into law.
Popular sentiment is the great
power behind q progressive president
1t is President Taft's desire that the
people should know intimately his
plans for action, and the best way of
informing them is to go among them.
Furthermore, the president can better
understand what the people them
selves want by meeting them at home
as it were There ought to be mutual
good derived by the president person
ally and by the country through a
Swing around" during what may be
called the formative period of the Taft
administration.

the Baltimore American.
This waiting attitude, which the
Maryland Steel Company is obliged to
assume, is but typical of the waiting
attitude in which the industrialism of
the country in general is placed by the
uncertainties connected with tariff re.
vision. The steel mills are waiting
for the railroads to say when and the
railroads are waiting to see what the

will have an advantage of him. And SO
