THE TARIFF AND THE TRUST
On the first of September, 1896, the
price of dry granulated sugar, the grade
In common use, was quoted at whole
sale in this city at 5% cents per pound.
The result of the approaching national
election was very much In doubt, and
the Wilson act was in force.
The price remained at that figure with
out a change, as it had been for a long
time before, until the result of the presi
dential election was known. On Novem
ber 12th the price was marked up one
eighth of a cent. The trust wassatisfled
that they had "won out," and proceeded
without delay to reap the reward of vic
tory. That advance meant an attack on
the pockets of the public to the tune of
$6,000,000 per annum.
So the quotations stood until after tho
turn of the year By that time two new
factors were apparent In the problem.
The complexion of the state legislatures
had become known and had made It man
ifest that the trust could hardly count
op having a senate which could be con
trolled. Besides, the prospect of possi
ble higher duties hadi caused a great rush
of foreign goods to our shores. Again
the trust was in the market to buy raw
Btigar in practically unlimited quantities
wherever it could be found. So on Jan
uary 2d the price of granulated sugar
was dropped one-half a cent at one
»woop.
The time ran along and the complex
ion of the new senate and the certainty
of an extra session of congress to frame
a new tariff bill became known. It had
been announced that a bin would be
forthcoming the moment the extra ses
sion was ready for business, and while
not announced to the world, there is no
Just ground to doubt that the sugar
people were pretty well informed as tr,
the probable scope of the schedule on su
gar. The refiners had secured a good
deal of raw sugar. The importers of
refined sugar had been frightened off
from rushing in so much of their goods,
and there was good reason to be certain
the Republicans would be able to or
ganize the senate.
With all these points carefully noted,
on February 18th the price of granulated
sugar was marked up to 5% cents. Then
came the gorgeous inauguration cere
monies, so brilliant they seemed to an
ticipate the royal jubilee on the other
side of the Atlantic. All the associated
trusts ar.d money-shavers celebrated
their victory at that time. The extra
session of congress was sitting, and
what could be done was clearly defined.
The scope of the Dingley bill was known,
and while the sugar trust did not get al,
it wanted, it got a monopoly of the mar
ket much more complete than It enjoy?
under the act now in force. March 19th
the price was put up to 5% cents. Thing;
began to look better. This was one
fourth of a cent higher than in Septem
ber, when the election was doubtful in
lt« results. It was one-eighth of a cent
l)ptter than had been hoped for In the
middle of November, when the trust
knew Its cause had been triumphant at
the polls.
April dawned, and, as If In Irony, All
Fools' day was ushered In by an ad
vance In sugar of one-eighth of a cent,
making the price 5%. Raw sugar was
being rushed in by the cargo free of
duty. The Dingley bill was sure to pass
Some fractional loss of profit had been
suffered by the big drop in price between
January Ist and February 19th. The
price at the last named' date was still
left one-eighth of a cent lower than
what had been considered the normal
value under existing conditions and the
Wilson bill in September of the previous
year. The raises of Feb. ISth ar.d March
19th had put the price up to one-fourth of
a cent above the September rate and one
eighth above the November. As com
pared with September the increased pro
fits of the March price would be $12,000,000
a year. This April Fool raise taxed the
people another $6,000,000, making the
whole burden $18,000,000. The Wilson
bill, as amended in the senate, had In
creased profits, already exorbitant, and
out of which the trust fattened.
But there developed a good deal of
hostile criticism, in the senate to this
program of wholesale public robbery.
The friends of the trusts saw they were
crowding the mourners a little. Experts
had figured out what the results would
be, and the trust's demands were mod
erately discounted. On April 16th, there
fore, the price was dropped to 5% cents,
putting it back to the figures of' March
19th. It meant a loss to the trust of
$6,000,000, but they were still $12,000,000
to the good, and like wise men they were
content with two-thirds of a loaf, and
well they might be, for It was large and
sweet. But further difficulties arose
At the end of another week so much
friction was encountered in the confer
ences between the trust lobby and the
trust ways and means committees which
met at the Arlington hotel that the trust
nearly lost heart entirely. The price
was dropped to-5% on April 23d, and here
we were back to the figures of November
ISth, when only the election of the pres
ident had been sure. This lopped off
$6,000,000 of ill-gotten gains, and there
was barely one-third of the loaf to be
glad over.
But worse was to follow. Senator
White, Senator Vest and others had been
sharpening a little pencil and figuring
the cost of sugar at each step in the.
process of its production and the enor
mous profits to accrue to the trust were
beginning to be understood by every
body. The path of these good men of
the trust, who were diligently seeking
for the wave of prosperity became be
set by snares. On May 21st the price was
put down to s'/2 cents. Here, then, we
are back where we started In Septem
ber.when the Democrats held all branch
es of government and there was danger
of more of the same kind of thing, and
worse In quality to, come.
But the lobby In the parlors of the Ar
lington did not lose al! hope and courage,
and manfully stood by their guns, and
Senator Allison's assurance that the
Dingley bill was likely to do the sugar
refiners an absolute injury, while the
senate amendments even would not
bring the cost of refining quite up to the
figure of the Wilson bill had a bracing
effect on a few veteran senators. By
June Uth the skies over the Arlington
were so cloudless that a little remedial
measure was ventured on, and the price
was put up to 5% cents. Here we are
once more a little bit consoled. We
have the original Republican rate of
November 13th again in force, and there
is a prospect of $6,000,000 added profit to
make up for the expenses of the hardest
campaign ever fought in America.
The longest day of the year came and
went, and with it the longest contest
on sugar drew to a close. July broke
upon the world, and the wave of pros
perity began to be knee deep on the
Moquette carpets of the Arlington.
Things looked so well in the senate that
the price was pushed up to 5% cents.
Ha! Ha! There loomed up $12,000,000
extra profits per year. That Is good as
far as It goes, but it does not go far
enough. Another week slides by and
the bill slides through the senate and
goes to the conference committee, where
it looks as If there would be but one
thought, How quickly can we get the
bill through? So Thursday, July Sth, up
goes the price to &% again. This lathe old
April Foois' day rate. It is three-eighths
of a cent higher than the best to be
hoped for under the Wilson bill, and
gives those who bore the burden and heat
of the great campaign for prosperity a
chance to recoup themselves for their
extraordinary expenses. If they can only
hold the market there It means $18,000,000
per annum to be paid by the people to
the trust over and above profits already
exorbitant. But that is no more than
right. Did not the trusts elect the pres
ident, and does not the administration
stand for prosperity? And shall not
those who made the major's calling and
election sure be the first and the nearest
to partake of the blessing of prosperity?
Yesterday the sugar market again took
a gigantic bound, advancing from 126
to 144. Thesugar trust at all events has
certainly received its goods from the
advance agent of prosperity.
INDUSTRIAL BOA CONSTRICTOR
The reported transfer of control of
the sugar trust from Havemeyer to
Rockefeller is probably premature. The
maxim against trading horses while
crossing the river will appeal to Rocke
feller as well as to the humblest citizen
of the republic. When Havemeyer anc
Searles get their tariff bill through the
congressional breakers safely It will be
time enough for the consideration of a
change of pilots for the sugar trust
Rockefeller ia a genius, but so far bis
talents have been, employed handling
capitalists rather than senators, and he
would better leave such delicate diplo
macy to those past master.? in the art.-?
of the lobby, the present controllers of
the sugar trust. However, true or not,
it is certainly but a question of a short
time when the control of the sugar trust
LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 20, J897
must In all probability fall Into Rocke
feller's hands. The position of affaire,
is exceedingly simple and the result ap
parently inevitable.
Rockefeller has now an income greater
than any other one man in the world.
His tastes are quite simple, as those of
a good, sound' Baptist should be, and his
early lessons In economy doubtless pre
vent Ms family expenses running over
a modest half million or so annually. He
Is generous to his church and gives
money to the Chicago university, but
both these Institutions are now on pretty
firm financial legs, thanks to him, go
that if we add another half million for
his donations to charity, we probably
are allowing a sum for family and other
expenses far in excess of the actual
amount.
Now, his income Is at least $15,000,000.
and probably considerably more. His
holdings in Standard oil stock bring in
this much without our looking for fur
ther items. This makes his surplus in
come over expenses of living at least
$14,000,000. That Is, he "spends" a mil
lion every year and has fourteen mil
lions to "save."
Here, then, Is a large surplus income
every year seeking investment. His
brother William and his partner Flag
ler and two or three other associates
who operate with him, have all together
as much if not more than he has him
self. The joint surplus of all is prob
ably $30,000,000 annually, or, say, one
hundred millions every three years.
It is only recently that Rockefeller
ousted Carnegie from control of the iron
and steel industry. He has acquired
control recently of the transportation
Interests on the Great Lakes, and it is
rumored that he is heavily interested in
the Yerkes syndicate that is consolidat
ing the street car companies of the coun
try. The Immense surplus income of the
Rockefellers must be "saved" some way
or other, and what is more natural than
that they should now be casting longing
and envious eyes at Havemeyer's hold
ings in the sugar trust? There is no more
room for the Investment of fresh capital
in oil refining—too much In it already;
that is the very reason that led to the
formation of the trust. They are forced
to look outside for investment. They
gobble up Mr. Carnegie; they are licking
their chops preparatory to swallowing
that sweetest of the sweet in every
sense, the sugar business of the country.
Now, nobody la sorry for Carnegie, nor
will any tears be shed overHavemeyer's
financial extinction, and the country is
Just as well oft with Rockefeller In sole
control of the industries of iron, sugar
and oil as if it had a triumvirate. The
point of interest, however, Is, "What is
the grand finale?" A big capitalist like
Rockefeller is totally different from any
other production In nature, in that there
is absolutely no limit to his growth. The
young boa constrictor swallows rabbits
at firs»t and grows up to the dignity of
pigs and then oxen; but there is such a
thing as his reaching a maximum
growth and having a maximum demand,
and, besides, he finally dies. The Rocke
feller Frankenstein is not only ineatia-
ble, but every time he makes a meal off
one industrial plant he becomes that
much bigger and has a correspondingly
increased appetite. The older he gets
the larger he grows, and in the sense
that thericher he is the less danger there
is of financial death, we may add the
paradox that the older he lives the
younger he becomes. A few years ago
he felt he had had a square
meal when he had pwallowed
an oil refinery or two; now the
Carnegie business Is snapped up as a
little after dinner trifle hardly to be
considered and in no way diminishing
his appetite for a breakfast provided by
Havemeyer's financial "long pig."
In the early days of the formation of
"trusts" there was a swarm of small
capitalists, who, as they were swept into
the net of the Rockefeller class, raised
a terrific yowl about the iniquity of
trusts. There were a good many of
them and they made quite a noise, and
congress got very much stirred up over
the matter, passing numerous anti-trust
laws. These small fellows are now finan
cially dead and never a whimper from
their graves. They know that no power
on. earth can resuscitate them. While
they were dying, however, they were in
such numbers and had so many friends
that the public at large were greatly ex
cited. That's all over now. The boa
constrictor is over the rabbit stage.
There Is no small game left, and, be
! sides, he has grown up to the oxen size.
Rockefeller may have excited public
animosity during the years he was
wading through the financial gore of
the small oil refiners to his throne at
the head of the oil trust, but now, when
he is devoting himself to the extermina
tion of other economic Titans, the Car
ragies and Havemeyers, who, too, have
j a past history as unpopular as his own,
I he need have no fear of public sentiment
; again being aroused against him.
A Nemesis, however, awaits the
mighty hunter. When our financial
Nimrod has bagged everything in sight,
Uncle Sam will bag him. Uncle Sam
must, or he will be bagged himself.
TRANSMISSISSIPPI CONGRESS
A study of the achievements of the
recent Transmlssissippi congress at Salt
Lake City confirms the general opinion
that the congress is a useful and intelli
gent body, fairly representing the inter
ests of the great section of the country
whose delegates made up the member
ship.
That the congress should endorse free
silver was natural and inevitable. It
would not have fairly represented the
west If it had not done so. The endorse
ment of the San-Pedro harbor resolution
w as another popular act, and indicative
of the ability of the congress to get at
facts and judge them accordingly. The
congress ' has for years endorsed the
deep water harbor at Galveston, and its
actii.n this year only showed its per
tinacity in upholding a good cause.
The resolution relating to the Pacific
railroads and the government's claim
against them was sufficiently explicit
and to the point. The people certainly
want the Pacific railroad liens fore
closed. They want the use of the roads
at rates based upon their present value
—rates that upon such a basis will yield
a reasonable return. Surely this is fair
to all concerned.
The choice of Wichita over Los An-
geles as the place of next meeting might
be criticised locally, but then the people
of Loe Angeles are neither envious nor
selfish. The congress will come to this
city some time, and the delegates will
be mighty glad to come.
ONCE MORE, GO SLOW!
While later reports confirm the rich
ness of the gold discoveries In the Clon
dyke district of the Yukon country, they
emphasize the warning sounded by the
Herald with regard to the danger of go
ing there unless the prospector Is well
provided with both money and provis
ions. It is probably the ideal"poor man's
country" so far as the diggings them
selves and the facilities for obtaining
the gold are concerned, but it should not
be forgotten that the district is a thous
and miles, more or less from civiliza
tion; that it is exceedingly difficult to
get provisions there* and that the price
of food is proportionately high. It must
be remembered, too, that the placer
mining season will practically be over
before anyone starting from the states
now can reach the district and get to
work.
There is going to be a fierce and merci
less competition between the thousands
and tens of thousands of men who are
rushing Into the Yukon and the weakest
will have to go to the wall. The man
who goes there without money and sup
plies invites hardship and hunger If not
worse than these. The Associated Press
dispatches say that the gold fever has
already broken out in New York city,
and recall the fact that New York fur
nished the largest complement of forty
niners of any state in the Union. Thous
ands will go from the east to swell the
army of gold seekers.
There is undoubtedly gold in Alaska,
and many will make money there, but
common sensa and conservatism apply
in the business of gold mining as in
everything else. There is a dead man for
every lucky tenderfoot who ever "struck
It rich" in the mines of the west. If you
must go to Alaska, go well provided for
against both the present and the future.
McKinley and McKenna are quite at
loggerheada. It Is well known that a
very large percentage of the A. P. A.'s
voted for McKinley, and that thelrvotes
gave him California, Kentucky, Mary
land and West Virginia. He thinks that
they should have some recognition, but
McKenna is violently opposed to them.
Through Foraker the A. P. A.'s kept
Bellamy Storer out of the assistant sec
retaryship of state, which offended Mc-
Kenna. He especially concerns himself
about California appointments, and as
the last Republican state convention
was dominated by the A. P. A.'s, McKin
ley is placed in an awkward position.
The two McK's will have to fight the
matter out between themselves.
Everybody has fallen Into the way of
referring to the great gold discoveries
of Alaska as though they really are
there; but the fact is that the Clondyke
field lies In the British Northwest Terri
tory. It is all right, probably, for the
lucky individuals who get their gold out
of the ground and carry it away, but
some time there may be trouble oven
titles of mines thereaway.
The "keep off the grass" signs have
been suspended in New York for the re
mainder of the season and thousands of
people very day revel in the unwonted
luxury of lying on a real lawn. As> a
park policeman remarked: "This may
offend artists and landscape architects,
but, after all It is the way all parks
should be used."
There is scarcely a limit to enforced
human endurance. James Stevens, who
was imprisoned in the Mammoth mine in
Arizona was taken out alive after four
teen days. He had had only one meal
and a gallon of water during that time,
and had lost seventy pounds. Most men
in Stevens' position would have commit
ted suicide.
Senator Quay has set at rest the rum
ors that he would retire to private life at
the end of his present term. "You may
say," said the senator, "that for the first
time in my life I am a full fledged can
didate for the senate. Mr. Quay evi
dently does rot think he would be safe
in the hands of his friends.
Several old timers have already sent
in their acquiescence in the project to
form a society such as suggested by
The Herald yesterday. It needs only a
dozen or so to start the ball a-rollir.g,
and a very popular organization will
doubtless result. Send in the names.
Emperor William is down on arbitra
tion because a recent decision of a court
of arbitration has lost his brother-jn

The report that Mr. and Mrs. Brad

AT THE THEATERS
ORPHEUM. —An audience that liter
ally reached the roof—they were stand
ing at the apex of the gallery—turned out
for the new bill at this house last night;
an audience that was Intelligently dis
criminating In its applause down stairs;
and was so well behaved upstairs that
it deserves commendation. As for the
bill, it is quite the best that has been
offered for weeks; the hold-overs are
the cream of last week's turns, and the
new ones are above the average. The
orchestra plays some especially pretty
and tuneful numbers, too, and alto
gether It Is a banner week.
Caron and Herbert are not strangers
here. They found a houseful of friends
who roared and howled with joy over
the cheerfully idiotic pantomime which
is thrown in in chunks between some
particularly neat tumbling and other
acrobatic work. The bill says their act
is "a revelation in resistless cachinna
tlon." Old Noah says cachinnation is
loud or immoderate laughter. Caron
and Herbert lived up to their reputa
tion, and they got the laughter, for their
turn is the funniest that has been given
here in many a day. But it must be
seen. It is beyond description.
Another of the new teams, Henry Frey
and Nettie Fields, gives a "side splitting
farce" which is clever in spots. Frey'a
makeup is that of a cross between an
undertaker in a healthy climate and a
last year's scarecrow; Miss Fields, on
the contrary, is handsomely gotten up
as to clothes and she does a buck and
wing dance that is seldom equaled any
where by black or white, man or woman.
T. W. Eckert and Emma Berg do a
musical turn; the former first giving im
itations of various instruments on the
piano, following it with a singing lesson
in which Miss Berg appears, and ending
with the great love duet, the tower scene
from Trovatore, which brought down the
house. For an encore they sang a Tom
and Tabby back-fence serenade, which
was also loudly applauded.
Charles White, the Australian basso,
sang two rollicking bravura songs with
considerable spirit and a very nice art.
His voice is rich, mellow and musical,
and he handles it with much discretion.
Alex Heindl's choice of numbers was
again popular rather than classical, but
is it no less credit to him as' an artist that
he can make so much of so little. In
Rubenstein's beautiful "Melody In F,"
Mr. Heindl produced some noble tones
on his vlollncello and his modulations
were most artistic. In Offenbach's
dainty "Musette," where the theme Is
repeated in harmonics, the workman
ship was exquisitely delicate; and the
little waltz which was given In response
to deservedly enthusiastic applause was
also delightfully played.
John Canfield and Violet Carlton re
peat their successful turn ot last week
with a change of dress on the part of the
lady and a change of songs on the part
of both. Canfleld's singing of "Sally In
Our Alley" showed a very sweet, smooth
tenor voice, and a repetition was de
manded. Andy and Flora McKee also re
peat their good work of last week with
new business. McKee reveals the mys
teries of making up for black face by
smearing his face and hands with black
grease paint, and then dancing a hoe
down; and he convulses the audience
with his description of a buggy ride.
The same bill runs all the week with
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

The Craven Case
SAN FRANCISCO. July 19.—When
the trial of the Angus-Craven case was
resumed before Judge Slack today, Mrs.
Nettie Craven was requested by Attor
ney Wheeler to write certain words at
his dictation with a pencil upon the mar
gin of a contract similar to that offered
in evidence. He then attempted to try
the experiment again with a softer pencil
and in a smaller hand, but the courtsus
talned the objections of counsel to this
method of procedure, and she escaped
this trying ordeal. A piece of evidence
was thus secured for the purpose of re
butting Stre. Craven's statement that
she did not write trie pencil words on the
margin of the contract which Altken re
fused to sign, and once admitted In evi
dence, it was promptly exhibited to the
jurors together with the original con
tract.
