Exations of the Sugar Trust.

f.NatlOnS Oh SuGuI
The American people are submit
ting to outrageous graft at the
hands of the sugar trust, through
the barring from the market of first
grade miller's sugar. We certainly
must be asleep to tolerate the impo-
sition the sugar trust is practc-
ing by barring from the market first
grade centrifugals, which is the di-
rect product of the sugar mills and
which was formerly much used I'M
der the name of light brown sugar.
This sugar is good enough for gem
,ral family use and for most com
mercial use and could be sold for
hree and half to four and five
eighths cents pound. but every
producer who sells to the trust Tor
refining purposes is bound, by fear
of refusal of his product, not to
sell more than ten pounds of THIS
fine quality of brown sugar to any
other agency but the trust. Rath-
or than lose their market. the grow
ers obey. The toll that the trust
exacts from the American people ev
cry year is enormous. Millions oil
tons of sugar thus yearly forced
to pay needless refining charges.

About Trusts.

One Ben Bitter, classed as one
of the thinkers, discusses the trusts
as follows:
Public opinion or the trust sub
Ject, appears to be clamolrng Ior
victims. 1t is not satisfied with IN
functions or damages or possible re-
caiverships, but punishment of in
dividuals is loudly called for. Pro-
tess are even made against pecun-
larry fines. Actual Imprisonment OF
the offender is demanded. And why
should not the public demand that
these offenders be sent to jail for
their moral turpitude? The sneak
thief and embezler are sent to the
pen without primaries. The men
who steal from the public by in
direct means of destroying compe-
tition by unjust means should be
threatened with the same club. 1t
takes rough means to handle pack
of wolves
A financier once remarked:
Give me ten million dollars and
no power on earth can prevent it
from becoming twenty million
The propensity CT money to make
money" leads back to the idea that
it would be better if great fortunes
did not exist. There would be more
independence. more happiness, less
strife and less penury.
1t is claimed that the bulk of
money, in the hands of few, as
at present, would enable that few.
TO precipitate a financial panic at
any hour they might agree upon.
This has caused people to trem-
BILE at the power of the combines,
for sad be it to relate, the aggre-
cation of capitalists may be able to
fitch the balance by properly plan
ming a panic, as well as by boost
ing prosperity.
1t is a fact, however. that the
trend of the times in this country
is drifting toward an adjustment of
financial matters and financial OPP
portunities. and nothing he's has
tened this so much as the encroach-
ment of the trusts upon necessities
When you corner" the bread and
butter of the people they are 60
ing to kick and kick vigorously.

Getting an Autograph.

Ellis Parker Butler was clerk in a
Muscatine spice mill when Bill Nye
came across his horizon. The night
Mr.. Nye showed at that town Butler
occupied a seat in the first gallery
from the roof. The sad eyed humorist
pleased him so that he decided to write
for an autograph. He wanted it for
the front page of his stamp album. A
carefully worded epistle brought no re-
ply, whereupon the industrious youth
wrote another and another. No an
swers Undaunted. he got a line on
the route of his celebrity and devel-
oped an inspiration somewhat as fol-
lows:
