Keep After the Sugar Thieves.
All sorts Of encouraging rumors
that sugar millionaires have been in

New York. The American people
would nightly like to see some Of
these reports develop into actual facts.
Imprisonment of few SIS week
weighers and clerks Is not the Ameri-
can idea of adequate results from the
sugar prosecutions.
Refined sugar that costs 1896 In
Boston can be purchased for $2.70 In
Liverpool or Hamburg. The $2.26 diff
ference does not go into the pockets
of the sugar trusts employees. 1t does
not cover up any excess in cost Of
manufacture in this country over the
cost of manufacture abroad. It is q
bonus paid by the people OF the Unit
ed States into the Golfers of the sugar
magnates by virtue of the tariff.
Last year more than 100000 tons
of sugar were imported into this coun-
try. Exactly 43O tons of it were re-
fined before importing. The tariff is
SO trickily worded that It is to all in
tents and purposes prohibitive.
The sugar barons reap an unearned
profit of $90,000,000 a year from Amer.
lean sugar consumers through this
tariff. Yet they are not satisfied. BY
bribery and conspiracy they cheated

CAUGHT IN A FOG.

Last year. while coming home from
Europe, we were anchored off Sandy
Hook for two days in fog. A big
bell was kept ringing in the bow OF
the boat. and another In the stern.
We could hear other boats moving
and ringing bells all around us. Every
once in while the fog would lift
little and we would start to get under
way. but each time we were disap-
pointed.
At the end Of two days, however, the
fog lifted. and there, right in front Of
US. only a few feet away, was the
Presidents yacht, Mayflower. II we
had not anchored right where we did
we would surely have had a. collision.
