AS SUGAR NOT AS SWEET " \ t} trust It seems too good to be true, but the fact that th president has ordered the department of justice toeinvestigate | the octopus gives*ground for hope The Pennslvania Sugar Refining Co. years ago was tied bow knot by the machinations of tl ugar trust A money loaner, not known to have any connection with th alleged to have wheedled the man who contr 1 the] refinery into accepting a huge loan, amounting to $1,250,000 After the loan was made, papers subsequently discovered to have been drawn by the sugar trust counsel were signed, giv ing this money loaner control of the board of directors of the refinery The scheme seems‘to have had all the earmarks of a con spir as subtle as ever was described in fiction, by which the Havemeyer trust kept out of the field of competition a re finery with the capacity of 4,000 barrels of refined sugar pet day, and incidentally bankrupted a Philadelphia bank and caused the suicide of its president. Last week the $30,000,000 damage It is said that the trust paid suit growing out of this darkness was settled out of court $10,000,000 damages. At this bill pending, and on the heels of the conviction of the trast for cheating the government out of millions by tampering with the scales on which their importations were weighed in New York, it was hardly the time to have all these startling facts come out in court. So the trust capitulated! But President Taft does not seem disposed to accept such He is said to have ordered Attorney particular time, with a tariff & suppression of the truth General Wickersham to investigate the sugar trust, so as to find out whether or not, in conspiring to wreck an opposition refinery, it was not guilty of a conspiracy in restraint of trade under’the Sherman law. It seems like an excellent trail on which to camp And incidentally the president, our senators and our repre- |‘ sentatives in congress should bear in mind that the sugar trust is made possible by just one phrase in the tariff bill—the words “Not above No. 16 Dutch Standard in color.” These words prevent the foreign sugar producer from mak ing a sugar light enough in color for the market These words send all importations of foreign sugar to the wharves of the sugar trust for whitening. These words make the sugar trust They are not necessary for the protection of our beet or our cane sugar. With these words eliminated, our beet sugar pro ducers would still have a protection of from $1.70 to $1.82), cents per hundred pounds on sugar nated, all our domestic sugar interests would be as prosperous as now. But the people at large would be benefited With these words elimi We should have good sugar, unrefined, but perfectly fit for table or kitchen i use, offered by the sugar producers of the world to our brokers and wholesalers and on sale in every community at lower prices | than the sugar trust refined product. The income of the gov ernment. would not be cut down. It would be increased from five to seven millions of dollars per year by the coming in of a better quality of sugar than the No. 16 Dutch Standard, which would pay a higher rate than the dark-colored sugars now im ported. If your s@nator or representative votes for the retention of | the No, 16 Dutch Standard test in the bill, strip him when he| comes home, and Somewhere under his clothes you will find the brand, “A. S. R. C.," which means that he is the property of the American Sugar Refining Company.
