Some of our contemporaries are give ing a great deal more attention than it deserves to an absurd statement set afloat in Torontopurely for sensational purposes, to the effect that the Conser- vatives are scheming to buy a control- linginterest in the Globe to make it their party organ.

Some, in- deed, are so reckless that they are not averse to having a dollar or 0. dollar and a half in their pockets occasionally just to buy such little trifles as willi gratify their taste, their vanity or their. needs.- This, we believe, is whet 'the commercial unionists want, and ON is why they are commercial unionists. AS WE HAvs BEEN accusedby our local cotem, of clipping news from the "Brick-a-brack" column of a daily paper, and publishing locals bhreo weeks old froni the local sheetswe pen the following for their considbration and the consumersof sugar in general : There is a miserable, vile conspiracy on foot in Montreal to ruin a grocer who has been guilty of the heinous offence of selling more pounde; of sugar for a dollar than the °thee grocers would. sell.. The groeers' guild fixed a mini:: mum price and the firmisf Lightbound, Ralstontk, Co. declieurto‘ join the guild or t� be bound by the guild's decision. Then the Canada Sugar Refining com- pany refuses to show samples to the disobedient firm. Things -have come to a pretty pass.an this Canada *of ours. • Here intExeter merchants vie with one another in offering cheap goods to the people. Messrs Renton Bros. boldly advertise that they are ready to sell black gross grain silk worth $1,75 at $1.37; Ottoman cord at prices away. down. Now suppose the othermerch- ante had formed a ring to keepabhe price of silk up to 81S75, and the price of Ottornatacord up to•the usual retail price, and.suppose the manufacturers ofsilk ant!' Ottoman cord were to tell Renton Baos, that their supply of silks and cords would be cut off„ how would the firm and their customers.feel about it 1 Possibly they could.End relief by buying from foreign, manufacturers. But the offending grocee in Montreal cannot do that °Vie sugar duties have beeinso fixed that the importation of refined sugar is practically prohibited. The big sugar refinery in Montreal is master of the situation. The grocers have to buy front that concern or go without sugar Ancl the despot at the head of they concern decides the mice at which his customers shell deliver the sugar to the public! This is a case ,for which the heroic remedy should be applied. The refiner has abused his privileges and has trampled upon the liberty of the subject, The suppres- sion of competition among grocers is not in the public interest, A recruc- tion of the,daties on refined sugars, so that the boycotted grocer could supply. Winself from foreign zefineries, would be nothing niore than justice toliim. Such a change would be a great relief to the whole trade and a great gain to the Consuming public.
