How the Sugar Trust Made
&c. 900 600

Sugar in our city is selling for s cents
a pound and il is expected to go higher.
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany. known as the Sugar Trust, has
made added profits of approximately
Sc 600, 600 since July 5th, when its II
directors steadily began to increase the
price of sugar. Since that time Io adj
vances have been made, aggregating
$3.50 hundred pounds over the price
of $5.iSH a hundred on July 9th.
1t is a coincidence that the Sugar
Trust has recently completed payments
to the United States government of APP
proximately $3.9e3,4S5 in fines and resti
tuition for the ''drawback" funds and for
the acknowledged cheating of the gov
eminent by means Of crooked scales on
the shipping docks. The trust also was
put to considerable expense in defending
criminal actions filed by the government
against its officials on fraud charges.
The added profits received from the
consumers OF sugar in the last two
months will more than make up these
TENS.
The increased profits of the trust dc
not include the profits of the various
Independent rehners whose price ha:
kept pace with the trust prices. Wher
he trust made an increase in the price
he independent concerns invariably
followed the example of the trust.

suited from so bitter primary. Let
primary law that has impressed me
very much with it's usefulness is that
while a party is fighting as to who
shall carry it's standard, it is also
by discussion and controversy coming
to a decision as to its platform, so
that both our platform and our can
didates are at least the product of a
full and free party struggle. This is
something like real democracy. Mr..
Goldsborough and the other Republi-
can candidates at Cambridge last
week, however, in announcing them
selves as the progressive leaders OF
the only party of progress were
emphatic in condemning this plat
form. They have also officially de-
clared me a machine made product
and my party a party of reaction.
Let Us See Who Is the Machine Made
Candidate.
In our primaries 81, 900 voters par
ticipated Mr.. Lee and | toured the
whole State and fought it out like
men. There was not a political, or
party or personal question that was
not thrashed out in the open. Com
pare this with the listless, lifeless,
utterly inane and farcical manner in
which Mr. Goldsborough was nomi-
mated. Now, l do not intend in this
campaign to be unnecessarily per-
sonal. 1t is not my purpose to abuse
or misrepresent no matter how much
hey try to make me the issue in this
campaign. | do not believe in mud
singing Still, see no reason why
| should not tell the people of Mary
Ind the facts as | see them. This is
a political campaign and a real fight,
and / do not propose to permit Mr..
Goldsborough to hide behind mask
of pretense and hypocrisy.
| am ready to stand on my record
and he must stand on his. | read
his speech of acceptance and | want
to say now that it comes with the
worst possible grace from him to
pirate about bosses, bossism, unfair
primaries and corruption in politics.
His party is tainted to the very core
with these things and no man knows
it better than Mr.. Goldsborough, be-
cause no man has been in position
% find out more of the truth than
Mr.. Goldsborough. Let him come
on out in the open and tell the people
where he stands and to whom he
owes his nomination. His glittering
teneralities, his hollow high sound
ing promises and his lofty moraliza-
on will not do in this campaign
The people want something specific

NOR honesty. I have been in poll
teal life long enough to know that
there are good men and bad men and
that you must reckon with both. But
the lesson | have learned above all
others is that one honest man in the
active political arena, even though
he must give and take, is a match
for forty dishonest ones and is worth
a regiment of faultfnders and louo
takers on the side lines | have
made mistakes in the past and ! may
make them in the~ future, but no
man can say that either in private
life or public life have | ever been
party, active or silent, to any corrupt
or selfish deal, or that | have ever
been guided by any other light thar
my own honest convictions. No man
can say or will ever be able to say
that broke my word or my promise
or that | failed to keep faith or that
I wore any mans collar, or that |
ever failed to say where | stood, or
failed to do what I said | would do.
The Organization.
| have spoken frankly of my poll
teal aspirations; let. me also say
frank word about organization. |
believe in organization. No party
can thrive and carry its platforms
into effect without it. An organiZa-
ton to last must be representative.
1t must represent all interests in the
party. What is needed is a little
clear thinking on this subject. We
must not confuse the machinery of
organization with the organization it
self. The inen who do the very
necessary work of party machinery
must not think that they are the
party, neither must they all be con-
demned because some of them are
selfish or disloyal or unworthy. 1t
of men controlling any organization
in this State under existing laws and
in the present state of public opinion.
So called machines can maintain
themselves only where there is
large vote that can he delivered
en- block, like the negro vote; or
where there is Urge corporate or
personal corruntian fund and large
purchasable vote. or where there is
rich patronage az the disposal of a
as in the case of the Re-
publican Federal OHiceholders' Asso-
citation In this State. or where the
power of State appointments is i'm
properly exercised and controlled
Now | wish to go snuarely on record
as to where I stand on this matter.

Of roads by motor cars. Some system
must be devised and vigorously put
into execution to keep UP our roads
after they are built. Personally the
Justice appeals to me of a more equit-
able tax imposed on automobiles, APP
ProXimately sufficient to repair the
damage done by them. At all events
our plan of road making must pro-
ride plan that will maintain and not

One of the matters of the greatest
interest to the whole State is the de-
Felopment of Baltimore, and the State

iitical interference. l believe tnat
Baltimore is entering upon new era
Of prosperity and | propose to do all

ment of experts more competent to

such changes.

make the furtherance of this by spe-
cial effort, and to that end | shall ask
the Legislature to give the City the
charter amendments which its experts

tard the commercial progress OF our
people.
The next administration will be con-
fronted with a number of important
legislative and reform problems which
are now before the people of this
country and which are demanding
careful attention.
The Democratic awakening, Wnlch
believe will result in great changes IN
our National Government and econ

front On some of the proposed re-
forms, which are still in experimental
shape, | believe Maryland can well
afford to watch and wait her younger
and less conservative sisters try them
out. AS to others | think the time is
ripe for action. For example, | have
for some years, both as lawyer and
a layman, felt that the time was rap
idly approaching when some change
must be made in our laws of Employ
srs' Liability. MORE than thirty leg
