SUGAR TRUST AND The
DUTCH STANDARD.

II is with some qualification that this
newspaper takes note of the enthusiasm
of some belated converts TO the idea
that the sugar tariff needs revision.
The Philadelphia North American comes
forward with detailed explanation OF
the tariff history of the Dutch standard
Of color as feature in sugar schedules,
pointing out that that qualification, for
which Leaders Aldrich and Smoot so
zealously fought, is worth many mil
lions a year to the trust and is the
real protection Of it's monopoly.
The North American, be it said, is
entitled to credit for seeing and eluci-
dating that point last spring, when the
Munsey newspapers were making their
exposure of the sugar tariff as strictly
trust tariff, and pointing out that the
elimination of the Dutch standard color
test would be the real proceeding by
which TO relieve the country from the
excuses of the trust. But the few
newspapers which at that time were
able or willing to see the point, were
unable to make proper impression on
Congress. The closest run which In
surgency gave the Aldrich-Smoot forces
throughout the tariff fight, was on the
sugar schedule A change of four moro
votes would have defeated the trust, for
the first time in many, many years of
tariff making. 1t took nigh a week of
debate before the opponents Of the trust
would permit vOtej and though it re-
suited in no victory over trust exac-
tons, that discussion set forth in most
effective fashion the truth about the
trusts tariff.
Today, with the whole country hof-
riied at the day-by-day exposure of the
trusts wrongdoings, it is good to see
this issue of the Dutch standard drag
ged forth again into the light It viii
be lasting reproach if the coming ses-
sion Of Congress does not reopen that
fight and at last force an amendment
of the sugar schedule in the interest of
the people
There Is more profound ignorance,
more beclouding of issues, more dishon-
esty OF statement, in the defense of the
present sugar schedule, than in any
other one feature Of the tariff. Rep
resented as a measure for protection Of
the beet sugar industry, that schedule
Is really a means 70 the protection of
the trusts graft and the suppression of
beet sugar. Most Of the beet sugar in
the country Is controlled by the trust,
Despite statements to the contrary made
by lobbyists who know they are telling
what is not true. So long as the trust
makes the tarif-and it will make it
so long as the present powers rule in
House and Senate-just that long will
the tariff be adjusted for the purpose
OF suppressing the home sugar industry
and sustaining the monopolistic exac-
tions of the trust
Let the sugar schedule be made over.
Sugar should be placed on the free list
&c once-sugar, raw and refined.

Is Disappointing
MANY Politicians.

Secretary Of the Treasury MacVearh
is coming 20 be looked ON with despair
by the politicians. He is showing de-
cided symptoms OF filing up the good
Offices in the Treasury without regard
TO the wishes Of the political bosses.
q good many Of them have found that
Mr. MaCVeagh hasn't much use for
political influence, and that he IS given
IN n most alarming degree to appoint
ing men on their merits without regard
to other considerations.
For Instance. when James 3. Rey-
nolds stepped out Of Che position OF
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury to
become a member Of the tariff board.
there were an sorts Of applicants for
he place. Also. there was an manner
OF political pressure. Secretary Mac
Ncagh paid little attention 20 this and
finally picked on Curtis. who was not
urged by any political influence: in fact,
was not urged AT all
And IN other selections. Of such men
as Assistant Secretaries Hillps and Nor
ton, Director OF the Mint Andrew, and
Treasurer McCluDR. ms we'll as IN the
selection OF the tariff board. Mr. Mac
Neagh has given much more attention
20 the merit question than he has to

One platform promise of the Republi-
can party has already been broken.
This is the promise it made as to tariff
revision. Are the party leaders going
to follow this up with another broken
promise?
If they are, the country will un-
doubtedly ask itself if platform prom
ises amount to anything.

vision. The present point is that it was
a very mild measure of revision which
the country got; and it justifes ex-
pectation that the measure of accom-
Plishment along other lines viii like
wise be exceedingly modest.
Theodore Roosevelt got a good deal Of
legislation through an unwilling Con-
gress, because he was backed by an
eager country and was ready to risk
criticism for undue activity in domi-
mating Congress. President Taft has
thus far conducted himself in a manner
which warrants the belief that he viii
not pursue the like policy. He is a
lawyer and a strict constructionist, and
believes that the constitutional func-
ton of the President to report upon the
state of the country and to recommend
measures should be taken literally; he
does not like the notion of the President
forcing his views upon the Congress.
There is a good deal to be said for
the, Taft view; but it will hardly be
denied, at this time, that the country
prefers the methods of Roosevelt. Con-
gress doesn't stand well with the coun-
try nowadays. We are come upon
times when, decry as we may the ten
dency to Capitalization of power, most
of the people want a strong executive
hand upon the helm, and have decidedly
more confidence in the efficiency of the
executive than Of the legislative branch
of the Government. Congress has been
to blame for falling into so low a
popular estimate. The people who
would rescue the two houses from their
present condition of domination by
groups of insiders commonly conceived
to represent private more than public
interests, are the ones whose program
promises most for the rehabilitation of
our parliament in the national respect.
