Sugar Consumption and the Sugar Trust Exposed

The article discusses 1890 sugar per capita at 66 pounds rising from 33 in 1870, argues cheapness alone cannot explain growth, notes high tariffs and a bounty era, and critiques the American Sugar Refining Company as the Sugar Trust with vast operations and monopolistic influence across major cities. It mentions refining costs, coal use, and the dubious claim of 200,000,000 slaves to make barrels, mixing in various ads for pianos, frames, and services.
