OR SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

This staple has become an article Of
prime necessity. and has passed from the
! category Of Injuries into that of essen.
tials. The consumption Of sugar by the
people of the United States is estimated
at forty pounds head. The whole amount
imported is nearly six hundred thousand
tons. The New York report says: with
the rapid strides this country has made in
the consumption Of sugar. the crop of
Louisiana. in the reduced yield Of the
past few years. has ceased to have any i'm.
portant bearing upon our market pros.
pects.' This should attract the attention
Of those who fancy the consumers Of the
United States dependent on us for their
supply. One fac. is. however. surprising.
New York imports about sixty per cent Of
our foreign supply; New Orleans only i'm
ported last year about two and half per
cent Of that supply-not one.sixth as
much as Boston or Baltimore, and not
oue-fcurth as much as Philadelphia. The
disparity Of molasses imported in 1872 is
still more striking. Of -. 167, 1893 gallons.
New FORK received fifteen and one-third
millions, Boston five and half millions.
Philadelphia fourteen and = halt millions.
Baltimore nearly three millions. and New
Orleans less than one million, or about
two and one half per cent. Yet New
Orleans is the gateway On the
most direc. route to the whole
interior West. Suppose there are in
this region twenty million consumers,
then New Orleans should import for her
100000 tons of sugar. Why does this i'm.
mense weigh. and value go around New
Orleans: Why does it seek the ports of
the East: Why prefer the coasters and
railroads 0: the East 10 the steamships,
boats and railroads Of the West: Take
the freigh.s on these tons. and they would
give more than three millions Of dollars
to our shipping and factors. This singu-
lar avoidance of the hes: port and the
bes. route can alone be attributed to the
omission on the part Of our merchants to
organize this valuable commerce.
New York has gained in her sugar i'm
por.at:ons, and says:
For no ;nconsiierabie portion Of thi. gain
we believe that we are indebted to the re-
cent release of our commerce from the bur-
densome tolls exacted in former years by
the quarantine authorities. We congratu.
late the mercantile classes upon their de.
liverance from the odious and onerous
thraIdom which they have been subjected
to for so long period by political favortes,
one.
New Orleans has suffered great inter-
ruption Of her tropical trade by the re-
strictions of quarantine. It is to be hoped
New Orleans will regain her position as

POLITICS AND LABOR,

Immediately after the war the "sham
Democracy Of the North began to gather
the reins Of government. Had they not
paid the taxes? Had they not aided to
extinguish the folly Of State rights
Were they not war Democrats ? Would
they not acquire popularity by persuad-
ing the people to resist the redemption of
the currency? As for their Southern sup
porters, pshaw! They would obey through
their head men, as they had always done.

Tho New Internal Revenus Law.

The new lnternal Revenue law
went into operation on the 1st of
January. The licenses, which are
now being engraved and printed. will
be in seventeen different forms, and
will be supplied by the Collectors to
dealers in spirits, fermanted liquors
and tobacco, and others who paid
what was known as especial taxes"
under the old law These licenses
must be publicly exhibited in the
dealers place of business, so that il
will be easy for the revenue officers
TO see whether persons required to
pay the tax have taken out license
for the current year. The Assessors
who are legislated out of Office by
the new law will be relieved from
duty as fast as possible, and most of
them will probably be required TO
settle their affairs before the lst of
July next, which is the limit fixed by
the law for their retention in Office
The Commissioner, it is understood
does not anticipate any material fall
ing off 10 the revenue by reason OF
the new mode of collection. If any
should occur, be believes it will be
very slight, and will last only until
the new system gets TO runnln g
smoothly.

Corn for Fuel.

1--WE are glad to see that many of
our citizens are taking advantage of
the low price of corn to lay ia heavy
supplies OF IL for fuel. We have ex-
perimented with it the last week and
ind that it is an admirable substi-
tute for both wood and coal, and
that at present prices there is both
economy and comfort in It's use.
A toa of corn, 33 bushels. at II
cents per bushel, is SIS so. We con-
slider this equal to cord of hard
wood, as supplied and measured in
our market, at 81; the cutting of
this cord, 81 80, total, $3.50 Thus
making saving OF three dollars a
cord.
For kitchen fuel it is superior to
wood, except hickory, aud cheaper
than that. 1t makes a very hot fire
With great deal of blaze. We Judge
that three tons of corn are equal to
the heat OF one ton of hard coal.
while in economy of it's use it is
equal TO one and half tons of coal.
La small families and small houses
there is always great waste of hard
coal. while there Is none in the use
OF corn. Besides this there is the
pubic benefit of retaining in the
country all the money we send TO
Pennsylvania for coal. and feed our
farmers by consuming their pro.
ducts"
The above statement from the
Council Bluff Oowa) NonpareH dem
onstrates the necessity for some
cheaper and better system for trans
portAtion than now exists tor the in
terchauge AID exchange of produce
and merchandise between the East
and West. If Western corn fields
have to be cultivated to raise fuel at
$500 per ton, or IL cents per bushel
in competition with coal, because
transportation costs too much to
send the corn of the West to Eastern
markets, or to bring coal from the
mines, or wood from the forests :
then il is time to donate the farms
and mines TO the railway monopo-
lists, or provide some better way for
exchanging products. The necessity
of cheap freights by water is daily
becoming more apparent to all La
Crosse Leader.
