tho working of tho tlme-houorod law
of supply and domnnd. Undoubtedly
thoro has been speculation In sugar
on u considerable scale, butu In order
to control prices, It would have to at

nobody yet has cornered sugar. The
speculator may bo a parasite on tho

How can tho price of sugar bo ro
duced without removing ouo or other
of tho causes that have combined in

simple. It ennnnt bo done. Legisla

timidation aro powerless to overcome
a world-wldo economic condition.
They may deprive consumers of sugar
but they ouuuot compel men produc
