MORE SUGAR TRUST PIRACY

New York, September 26.-The
corner in the price Of refined sugar
Ras broke suddenly today, when Ar
buckles Brothers cut from y to O.
cents pound.
This ie the severest cut ever made
on any one day in the memory Of the
sugar trade, and amounts to $3.50
barrel. John Arbuckle was said to be
personally responsible for the reduc-
ton. Practically oil the other refners
met the cut at once. It is expected
that further reductions will be made
soon, until prices are reduced to nor
NAL.
That big gang of thieves band
ed together for land piracy-the
meanest kind Of piracy, too, that
robs the poorest citizen OF his
food-the Sugar Trust, has en-.
gineered another raid on the
American public of $4,000, 900
a year, by increasing the price OF
that life staple, sugar nearly 100
per cent.
This greedy Sugar Trust for
the past 25 years has been rob-
bling the government of many
millions yearly. They stole four
ways at once, tempered with the
gov eminent scales, entered
fraudulent samples, made fraud
ulent invoices, and on top Of it all
enjoyed and still enjoy a fat
tariff bountyI
This all.around thief is next
caught robbing New York City
of millions by secretly tapping
its water mains.
And now this monster of in
iquity is again outraging justice
and mercy by new offence, Sec
ond to none in all its infamous
career-a merciless corner ia its
own product, sugar! And for all
this manifold villainy, what? A
few dollars fine and two or three
underling instruments jailed!
That the real authors of these
crimes are allowed, year after
year, to go on UNPUBLISHED, is a
disgrace to our boosted ciViliza-
tion-s blot upon our good name
as a Nation.
That old rascal Havermeyer,
the former head of all this iniquity
took to his bed and died within a
week after its first exposure
going to his proper place in eter'
nifty.
But it is not hell hereafter that
your Havermeyers, your Rookie
fellers, your Armours, your Gug'
genheims and the rest, need but
the penitentiary here in this life.
This whole damnable business
of robbing 100000, 900 people at
every turn, by these bloated
monopolists, will be ended in a
day, when an honest national ju.
dietary and an honest executive,
really desiring to abate the huge
wrong, shall once enforce the
laws against these crimes by
sending the rich malefactors to
the penitentiary instead of timing
the stock holders.
But that would put the vul-
gar jail stink on a big lot OF
very wealthy gentlemen, and at
thought of that, your Federal
Judge and your Federal Attorney
General, and your Federal Exc.
cutive-all of them commonly
former almoners of these guilty
scoundrels-are greatly shocked,
and it is never done. But at some
not far off day it will be done,
and the people have a long rest
from their plutocratic Cypress
ors.
