Sugar Prices

Most OF our readers will remem-
Der how the price OF sugar scared
to $3.50 q hundred last summer
AMI gradually fell back TO about
1896.
As 4 result Congress appointed
the Hardwick Special Committee
to investigate the American Sugar
Refining Co. ana others.
Some OF the testimony In this
investigation Is very interesting.
Claus Spreckles, president Of the
American Sugar Refining Co. ai-
mittei carrying on a campaign to
reduce the tariff on sugar and adj
mittei II would damage the home
pro iucera. Others testified that 1t
would mean the destruction OF the
home sugar industry and OF course
leave the sugar trlst a clear field.
It was testified that the price
OF sugar went up last summer be-
cause all the sugar raised In this
country had been sold and the
trust had no competitor, but as
soon as the new crop OF home
grown sugar was put on the mar
kct, the trust met the home mar
ket by selling at the same price,
although the price in Europe was
maintained by them at the high
figures.
The natural conclusion is that
sugar should have sufficient pro-
lection in this country to assure a
good home crop and prevent the
trust from having things their
W way by selling foreign sugar
cheaply long enough to iiscour-
age our home growers AMI then
jumping the price to where the
trust will not only make up the
loss but a big profit besides.

No mule healer in Missouri has
a wider acquaintance among mule
raisers than Sam Evans OF Marshall
Mo-, the Oldest mule dealer in the
state, who Was here Monday with a
carload OF mules. Last year he
handled ove 500 mules. ~ occas-
sionally recall my first mule ship
ment, male in 1871, Just Al years
ago." Mr.. Evans said. 81 bought
the mules over in Cooper county
ana shipped them to st. Louis. No
matter what the conditions OF the
country happen to be, the mule is
a safe proposition. Light weight
cotton mules are not as high as
they have been, but the big heavy
mule is a good seller, at a high
