same thing in the case OF sugar. l
know no more complete demonstra-

Iincompetency than IN the stores Oh
sugar this year.

fir sugar and can't get it at that.
/, Yet there is sugar enough in the
country for all. It is held by speca-

raisers of the South and the speeu-
lators have got away with profits! be-
yond calculation"
