THE SUGAR TRUST S STEALINGS
The enormous stealings of the Sngar
Trust from tho government by means of
false weights bills fair to develop into
u National scandal. The New \ork
Sun recently published a page article
on these collossal thefts which it
charges have amounted to thirty mil
lion dollars in the last twenty years.
Tho chief counts in the Sun's article
ure summarized by the Literary Digest
in tho following paragraphs:
??The Sugar Trust lias stolen lioldly
and enormously from the United States
Treasury for at least twenty years. It
stole with the assistance of officials em
ployed by the United States. It was
nursed and protected in its stealing by
powerful politicians.
"The direct evidence of the Sugar
Trust's crimes has lain in the New \ork
Custom House since the stealing liegun.
Practically every payment of duty on
sugar made by the trust liears on its
faco tho proof of robbery ? the truo
weight and tho false. Those who knew
that tho Sugar Trust was a thief and
who sought fur legal proof in the Cus
tom-House records, were referred to
the thief itself.
"George H. Earle, Jr., offered to lay
biro tho Sugar Trust's full iniquity to
President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Bonaparte. Mr. Earle was re
buffed and left in complete discourage
ment. For one year after that tho
Sugar Trust continued to steal.
"Tho facts show that tho Sugar Trust
could not have stolen upward of ?!0,
000,000 without tho cognizance of Trea
sury officials and tho patronage of jioli
ticians. The satno cargoes wero weigh
od and underweighed. The trust paid
freight on tho actual weight. It paid
duties on tho underweight. It stole
from 5 to 10 per cent of tho duty on
lvtv cargo.
"Tho trust tried to blackmail the
?..?.ora of cargoes by pretended eva
porations of sugar. It weakened when
tho carriers threatened to tell the truth.
It succeeded in part of its hlackmill l>e
causo the carriers feared they would lie
drivon out of business.
"Tho trust's power was such that it
secured a special rate of estimating
duties. This enabled it to juggle figures
in tho Now York Custom IIouso so that
it apparently got small refunds, while
in reality it got largo repayments
"Shippers of sugar the world over
know of this robliery. Carriers knew
it. Weighers knew it. Officials with
in tho Custom House itself must havt
known it. The Sugar Trust silencei
revelations."
Tho World sees in the case "a scanda
which involves the honor of tho Atneri
can people:"
"Tho cose against tho Sugar Trtts
grows blacker with each day s rovela
tions; but of far greater importance i:
tho part that the United States Gov
eminent played in these transactions
Who protected tho trust during all tin
years that it was stealing from tin
pooplo of tho United States? And whj
was it protected?
"Wilbur I1'. Wakoman, former up
praiser of tho Port of New \??rk, say?
in an interview that early in itffltl In
laid proofs of Sugar-Trust bribery be
foro Lyiniui .1. Gago, Secretary of tin
Treasury. Mr. (lago replied, accord
ing to Mr. Wakenuin: 'I don't lioliovt
that my good friend Mr. Iluvcinoye
knows anything about this matter, ant
I want you to give him my compliment!
and present the statement which yoi
have presented tome, and tell liim thai
If anything like this exists it must h
stopt.' Tho matter was presented t<
Mr. Havcmeyer. Tho weighing fraud
went on, and tho Government at Wash
ington took no further interest in the
case.
HOW THE TARIFF WORKS
Tho inftti who imports $1,000 worth
of diamonds pays a tax of but $100 Jo
per cent. If ho imported a thousand
shirts worth a dollar each ho would
havo to leave at tho Custom house and
tack onto his selling prices $000 (10
l>or cent. If he decided that ho would
bring in a thousand dollar's w< rth of
champagne, one of the items upon
which there is a large increase, the
tax levied by tho tariff is $V>0. If he
brought in $1,000 worth of blankets he
would pay a tariff tax of $|, 043.4!). If
ho brought in $1,000 worth of paintings
and statuary, all he would h;ivo to pay
as customs duties would bo #200, l,u
if it wore sugar he would pay $788.70 !
tax on $1,000 worth. If ho brought in
? 1,000 worth of jewelry ho would havo
to pay $000 tariff tax, but if ho brought
In $1,000 worth of woolen dress goods
ho would pay $1,0.10 00 tariff. If lie
imported a $5,000 automobile the tariff
takers would relieve him of $2, MO. If
it worts $3,000 worth of yarns, the tarill
would bo $0,950. If the importation
wore $5,000 worth of furs, the tariff tux
would be $1,050, but if it were $5,000
worth of clothing, that tax would be
$VM0. If sonic New York millionaire
brings in a $100,000 ocean yacht the
tariff would bo ?15,000, but if the im
portation wore stockings, the tariff
wjnld Iw $47.050. ? Henrietta. Texas.

RENO'S SENSITIVE JUDGE
District Judge Pike of Reno, Nev., is ]
a sensitive man with a nice comprehen
sion of the fitness of things. He de
clined to officiate at the wedding of a
lady to whom he had granted a divorce
three days before on the ground that it
would not look well. Naturally one
asks asks: "Look well to whom?" To a
very large number of the inhabitants of
the various States of the Union divorce
under any circumstances is repugnant,
and to many others who believe in di
vorco under certain circumstances re
marriage of divorced persons under any
circumstances seems wron^f. These are
the people who hold that marriage is a
sacrament. Presumably they do not
constitute a majority in any State. The
quick remarriage of a lady quickly di
vorced ought to look well to people who
derive profit from the quick divorce
business.
Reno, Nev., is a thriving divorce
centre. The facilities for getting quick 1
divorces there are unsurpassed, and
they have greatly increased the pros
perity of the town. . A well-defined de
mand for quick and easy divorces is the :
justification of Reno and its Judg b
Many if not most ladies who want di
vorces desire to marry again. Where
fore the sense of fitness displayed by
the Reno divorce Judge is remarkable.
He draws the line sharply. "I'll divon e
you," he savs, "with neatness and dis
patch. but I won't perform the tnai
riugo ceremony for you within three
days, l>ecause it wouldn't look right."
The incident serves newly to illus
trate the strange complexity of con
temporary social life. Marriages are
performed with all the ancient solem
nity. The married woman is still the
type of respectability, lint divorce for
any cause or none grows commoner
every day, and it is getting so that oi.o
hesitates politely to ask an acquaint
ance about the health of the wife one
knows ho had within the year. ? New
York Times.
THE TARIFF REVISION A CRIME
Had the Emperor of Germany, the
King of England, or the Czar of Rus
sia attempted to do in Kurope what
Taft-Cannon-Aldrich-Payne and their
willing tools accomplished, it is a pos
itive certainty that they would have
been unable to bring about their de
sires and that it would not only have
lie. mi a useless attempt, but a danger
ous one, as well. However despotic,
the power of the monarch might be
1 the indignation of bis people would
be so intense that if he did not rescind
? his action the probability is his gov
' eminent would lw overthrown. This
1 statement may seem extreme, and the
analogy far-fetchod. but take a look at
the facts:
The Republican party made a delib
erate and solemn promise to the pco
r pie of the Ui ited States to revise the
" tariff downward. That promise was
} made as a matter of political necessity,
1 because the rapidly increasing cost of
living threatened a political revolu
' tiou. The promise was construed, and
meant to be construed, its meaning a
reduction in tariff taxation th.it would
l materially reduce prices.
When, on the strength of this prom
* ise, the Republican party was retain) d
? in power, the president immediately
? called congress together, ill special
session, anil tin- congress and himself,
acting jointly and severally, revised
the tariff upward! The result was not
reduced living expenses, but increased
living expenses!
And thereupon the Republican party
divided itself into three houses and
went before the country.
One house said. "Wo did not promise
to revise the tariff downward."
Another house said. "We broke our
promise to the people. '
Hut all three houses, shaking with
one voice sis Republicans, said, "No
matter what wo promised and no mat
ter what we did. the Republican party
must bo continued in power and wo
lire all Republicans."
Wo submit that never liefore in a
popular government, and seldom inn
despotic government Inn such a record
of shame and treachery lieen made,
and that if such a record were to lie
made by any government in civilized
l'*uro|x> today, it would result in that
government 's downfall.
And i.ow, the pcoplo of (his repub
lic, who were promised reduced tariffs
and lower prices, and who got inerens
ed tariffs, are now lieing put underlie
screws for the resulting higher prices.
We quote the following from the Lin
coln Star, a Republican nowspajier ed i
i Ited by C. It. Kdgar, formerly of the
News-Press of this city:
"Linoleum, hardware, silks, woolens, i
glass and a number if other articles .<
are scheduled for a bulge in price. <
Department store managers and rural I
merchants are studying the trade jour- <
mils and keeping iu touch with the
factories. The increases will be stiig- *
gering in some eases. n
"Hardware will cost the Nebraska i
farmer more money. The st < ? i inter- n
esls have lieen liberally taken cam of, r
say the Lincoln business men, and the i
prices must advance. The recent rally j
n steel stock is ascribed to this cause.
"There is a iliuy of 10 jn-r cent ott
inolenm. Six families in New York
ire in on the linoleum trust. Prices
mve been advanced by the American
nills to the limit set by the importers
,vho are stalled by the 40 per cent
ariff.
"The schedules have lieeu jugglis! on
;lass, and the price is advancing.
"When the defenders of this tariff
lull lay the blauie on the retailers for
itlvauving prices, they He," said a de
partment store buyer today. "The
jro.it American iieople have Itecn slug
ged in the jugular vein by their sena
tors and representatives. One of their
lies was to the effect that glassware is
retailed at a profit of 200 j>er cent. In
stead of that, the margin is 20 per cent
minus breakage, handling and cost of
barrels and crates. This leaves the re
tailer barely 10 per cent. The jieople
should place the blame where it belongs
? on the president and the members of
congress."
A disliiign shed Nebraska Republi
can, the late Edward It isewater, once
said: "Sometimes even the wot ill will
turn. Would that the people hail the
?on rage of the worm!"
When the people tamely submit to
such an indignity as has been put up
'ii them in this tariff matter, and creep
in dog-like devotion to lick the hand
that stuck them, it calls forcibly to
mind Edward llosewater's indignant
I'xclamation. ? St. Joseph Observer.
FARMER IS NOT EASY GAME
Able editors are constantly warning I
the farmers against the oily-tongued
strangers who circulate through the
rural districts taking orders for can
ned moonlight and other produce, but
the truth is that the farm tr is nit of
ten victimized by traveling sharpers
nowadays; when he does get the worst
end of some deal, the amount involved
is something trilling, as a rule, and
when he has b-en bitten once he profits
by the experience, and is n >t easily
fooled a second time.
In order to find the old original Easy
Mark it is necessary to go to the towns,
where the people all tlatter themselves
that they have cut their wis loin teeth,
and can't b.s hocused. Who buys all
the fake milling stock that is worked off
every year by swindling promoters?
You won't tind much of it in the farm
houses. It is gobbled up largely by
clerks and other employes of business
houses, whose wivlom teeth are in good
shape, and who know a short road to
wealth when they see it.
Singular as it may seem, bankers are
the chief dupes. Hankers are supposed
t ? have I heir mouths tilled with wisdom
teeth, and their ability to pronounce
up >u sound investments is regirdeil as
one of the safeguards of legitimate com
merce; the average businessman feels
that he may safely embark in an enter
prise if his banker recommends it, and
tb it he should turn it down if his h inker
denounces it, yet the May bra j* trials
will show that the country is well
sprinkled with bankers who are so easy
that they will put up their good money
to back strange racers or pugilists
or race-horses.
The newspapers which are e instantly
warning the farmers against "il-tongued
strangers should cliango their policy
and give the bankers some fatherly ad
vice. It is necessary that the latter
should maintain their reputation for
having pl? lit y of wisdom teeth, and if
they get into the habit of buying gold
bricks, and plate glass jewelry, and
Qirard airships, the public confidence
will be shattered, and it will take a
long time to restore it again.
THE ADMINISTRATION
PROGRAM
President Taft having completed bis
swing around the circle and as Con
gr.vss is soon to coaveir1, the probable
legislative program for the coming
session may Ik; forecasted with some
degree of accuracy. From the gist of
the President's public utterances, it
may bo inferred thai his message to
Congress will urge legislati >n in some
if not all of the following siibj -els:
The establishment of a national
bank of issue controlling the treasury
reserve, the object of which will be to
prevent currency stringency.
The creation of a postal s.iving* bank
system.
A bill amending the .Sherman anti
trust law. restricting its application to
trade monopolies, not to railroad com
binations.
Temporary suspension of the agitation
of the tariff question.
The adoption of an income tax amend
incut to the Constitution, to he resort
ed to, however, only in time of war or
national stress.
The suhsidation of the ui 'rebuilt
marine with the ulterior obj set. of the
education of a large number of Amer
ican seamen to be available for n it i >nal
defense.
Federal legislation governing the is
nuance of injuctious ami to prohibit the
lioycott.
Further conservation of national, re
sources, including forests, mines and
waterways.
Internal waterways improvements,
mproving the navigation of only such
it reams as can bo mule navigable and
son torn plating an internal canal sys
em roughly parallel with the Atlantic
.'oast line.
A Congressional committee to con
lider the subject of the dilatory and
iloVonl v practice in Iho courts ami to
levise a plan for securing more prompt
md economical justice in the Federal
lourts, with the expectation that the
nitiativo by Congress may be followed
n the State Legislatures to the end
that tho disgraceful non-administration
of justice in this country may be re
formed.
Downward Revison
Tho following story from the National
monthly illustrates tho Taft-Aldrich
Payne-Cannon revision of the tariff
downwurd:
An old negrvji-s s it u|?on the wharf,
shading her pralines with jiart of a
newspaper while -she read the other
part. A gentleman thinking to confuse
her, winked at his companions and
said :
"Aunty, you seem to road the news.
What do you think of the promises of
the republican party when it was in
danger, anil the change of heart that
was scheduled to take place in Aldricli,
Cannon, Taft and the rest ? the promised
revision downward?"
"Well, suh," replied the old darkey,
"from what 1 can make out. ami de way

done cotcli on a nail by my britches!'"
ol Hi<|h Prices
Henry Clews, the well-known author
ity on iinaucia! subjects, writes as
f ill >ws in regard to the increasing high
price for everything:
"In many resjieots tho general init
io ?'.{ is very satisfactory, and owing to
the uneipialled prosperity of the agri
cultural dasst-s the promises are for at
leiust another year or two of good
business. On the other li.in- 1, it must
not In; forgotten that the country is
working up an abnormally high price
level; that interest rates are perman
ently higher; that the speculative mania
is ilitliciilt to control, ami that our
prosperity is very unevenly distributed
and decidedly lop ->i<i.'d. Some process
of equalise it ion is due. and ju-.t h ?w this
will come c. in 'lot bo predicted.
"The steel trade cannot keep up its
present activity indefinitely; neither
can the cotton industry go on without
some relief to prwmt diflicultics.
Time alone will solve these problems,
but they are sufficiently complex to
warrant a spirit of caution in all com
mercial and, financial transactions
affecting the future.
"Ona effect of present high prices is
the growing substitution or adultera
tion of one material by another of in
ferior grade or less cost. Short weights
and short measures, too, are often
resorted to in order to squeeze out a
profit which high costs prevent. Our
center of gravity has been raised too
high, and lasting stability cannot be
expected until eq ali/.atioii has re
stored the equilibrium and prices gen
erally come down to a less speculative
level."
Silt l/jke Company Will
Manufacture Steel Ties
A Salt Lake company to manufact
ure steel railroad ties has been incur
pirated. The lie is anew invention
and has the favorable opinion of rail
r lad men. It is of steel the si/.. i of the
ordinary wo iJen tie, hut in the form
of an ojieii box with no top. Under
0;ich rail is a block of wood. The
rail isseeurcil to the tie by means of
clamps, and the tie has flanges to pre
vent creeping.
It is claimed for the new tie that it
in cheaper in the long run than tie'
wooden one and far more effective, es
pecially in the prevention of accidents,
and that it will save flie use of 200,
000,000 wooden ties annually on nil
the roads of America, equal to abuit
one billion feet of lumlier.
Smiley Robinson
A very quiet but impressive wedding
ceremony was performed at flie home
of Mrs. O. I*. Uohiusoti in Unity valley
on Wednesday morning November '.Mth
at nine o'clock when her daughter Miss
l)oii it hv Kll/.nbeth become the bride of
Mr. Wilbur II. Smiley. The home was

W. P. Will Not Reduce Rates
An exchange says: Business men of
Salt Lake City who have l>een watch
ing developments in the completion of
the Western Pacific railroad to see
whether there would beany competition
as the result, have given up all 1i<i|kj of
lower rates on account of the now road,
believing that the new freight tariffs
will be issued as duplicates to the pre
sent transcontinental rates now in force
over the Harrimau lines.
The action of the Chicago Milwau
kee & Puget Sound railroad through
the northwest in issuing an independ
ent tariff when that line was opened
was taken as an indication that the
Western Pacific would lie independ
ent of the Harriman combination and
would bo free to make its own rates.
It is said on good authority, however,
that the Western Pacific will simply
join the transcontinental freight bu
reau and accept the rates already made
by .1. C. Stubbs, truflio director of the
llarriinan lines, with divisions similar
t ? those on the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific. This will mean that
the California Utah, tho California
Colorado and the Utah-California rates
will Ite the same as are now in force.
