OPPOSING
FREE COAL.
Why Certain
Senators Are In Paror t
Twa.
The objections raised by a few sena
tors against certain import int parts of
(the Wilson bill's i free list have a very '
flimsy foundation or no foundation
iwha ever.' There is not the slightest
warrant, for example, for an argument
against the removal of the duty on
bituminous coal, in behalf of producers
of such coal in the interior of the coun
try and west of the Alleghantes. We
received yesterday from Knoxville,
Tenn., a copy of certain resolutions
signed by twenty-five coal corap inies
whose mines are situated in Tennessee
or Kentucky. These resolutions urge
,the 6enate "to retain he tariff on coal,
in order that the mining and manu
facturing industries of our respective
states may continue their prosperity
and be further developeJ, instead of
being sacrificed for the special benefit
of foreign coal and iron producers.
We further protest," say these coal
companies, "against the destruction of
an investment of at least 110,000,000,
and the reducing of our labor to the
impoverished standard of that of other
countries."
It is upon such protests as this that
a part of the opposition to the free-listing
of coal isbisel. anl yet the re
moval of the duty would not have the
slightestinjurioua effect upon the in
dustry in Kentucky and Tennessee. It
would not reduce the value of that in
vestment of $1 0,000, 000, nor would it
cut down the wages of the miners.
This talk about labor in the resolu
tions, by the way, is rather amusing in
view of the fact that the attention of
the whole country has repeatedly been
drawn by bloody riots to the employ
ment of convict labor in the mines of
that region. The only effjct of the re
moval of the duty would be to relieve
manufacturers on the Pacific coast of
the tax which they now pay on coal
which they ar obliged to import from
B-itih Columbia and Australia, and to
enaJlo cw rnyland manufacturers to
procure a ; ti t of their supply fro.n Nova
Scotia. These . results of the change
would not affect the produeers of coal
in Kentucky and Tennessee- Taey
would not even afteet the producers
of coil in tia region ly-
ing
betweon these states and
the Canadian boundary, for there
were exported last year from the coil
mines of Indiana, Illinois anl Ohio in
to Canada 93.615 tons of ituminous
coal, in spite of the Canadian duty of
BO cents a short ton. Even with this
protection Nova Scotia canno compete
in tho central provinces of Canada,
with coal imported from the states we
have mentioned. We are not , safe that
a part of this coal exported Into Cana la
was not shippe I from the mines of
some of these very companies in Ken
tucky and Tennessee that address this
silly protest to the senate. The only
opposition to free coal for which there
ithe slightest excuse of any kind is
that of one or two senators who are
pecuniarily int-jrestel, or who are as
sociated with capitalists who are so in
terested, in two or three railroad and
mining companies which are now en
gaged in shipping coal from West Vir
ginia and Maryland to New England,
and the manufacturers of New England
and the Pacific coast ought not to I e
taxed heavily for the benefit of their
pockets. N."Y. Times.

THE POOR SUGAR
TRUST.
SI Glv It a lialf.CMt

As has been already shown, the dlf.
i erenco between the. prlees of raw and
refined sugars during 1893 was l.l"V4
cents per pound. From this must bo
deducted the cost oif refining. On ihl
point a liberal allowance, has been
made. It was an old and long stand
ing claim that it cost five-eights of a
cent to refineeach pound of sugar.
This may have been the ease twenty or
thirty years ago, but it is an old and
exploded fallacy. The actual cost of
refining sugar, which includes all and
every expense that a manufacturer es
timates even to the loss by dirt is
rearer to one-quarter of a cent per
pound .than anything else. But U is
intended to deal liberally witn the su
gar refiners, far more liberally than
they have dealt with the people, so a
pi ice of three-eights of- cent has been
taken to represent the cost of refining,
and this is more than the actual cosL'

and refined sugar during 1804. L154.
cents, and the total average profit of
.779 of a cent per pound is arrived at.
Applying this profit to the.4,i:;7,8S0,34d
pounds of sugar which the American,
people consumed in 189San 1 it is seen
that the total profit of the sugar re
fining business from this source alone
aggregates the neat little sum of !$V
013,000.10. ' .
Certainly the poor starving sugar re
finers need protection. : They must not
be allowed to go hungry.
But the sugar kings are not content
with such a modest profit as $33,013.
090.19 in a single year. They can
squeeze more out of the people, and
they do it There is a grand field for
looting on the Pacific coast It ia a
long distance from Washington and
what is done there is likely to pass un
noticed. Those estimable authorities.
Messrs. Willett and Gray, friends of
the sugar trust, give the total home
consumption of sugar af San Francisco
ftr 1893 as 128,179 tons of 2,240 pounds
each, or a total of 287,120,000 pounds. ,
This is the sugar imported from the
I Hawaiian Islands and the trust buys It
cheap. The trust is the only buyer of
raw sugar on the Pacific coast and
names its own price. The unfortunate
Hawaiian planters have to submit to
the extortion. They deliver their sugar
In San Francisco, but get less than the
New York market price for it one
qnarter of a cent per pound less. This
is an extra profit to the refiners, and a
quarter of a cent applied to the 28T,
1:M.9G0 pounds ef Hawaiian sugar Im
ported in 1893 adds $717,802.40 to the
coifers of the sugar trust.
Buying the raw! sugar cheaper for
the Pacific coast markets than for the
sab tern markets it would naturally be
supposed that the price-of- refined su
gar was cheaper to the consumer out
west But the trust does not do busi
ness that way. Its refined sugar sells
for more money in California than ia
New York. There "was last year a dif
ference of more than one and a-half
cents per -pound in the two prices aa
openly quoted on a net cash basis.
1 hat is to say, the sugar trust buys It
raw sugar for Sari Francisco one-quarter
cent below theNew York prlcu,
without reckoning the freight question
from Cuba, but its refined sugar
all the way from one to two cents abor
the New York prica.' Taking the
smaller amount of one cent difference
and applying it to' 287.1 30,940 pound!, of
sugar consumed on the Pacific coast
and there is still another profit of -J
671,209 60 to be adde t to the sugar
trust's coffers. Of a truth thero :
money in sugar, but the poor refiners .
must be protected.

gar refineries of the Unite! States ia
