Corn and sugar from Corn.
ISt. Louis Times.l

Sugar can be made from corn. The BUSH
ness is so profitable that corn would be worth
81 per bushel. There is one hindrance: the
tax on alcohol for manufacturing purposes
Ii the Changers can persuade Congress to
make this an exceptional case, we will stop
importing hundreds Of tons of sugar, save a
vast amount of gold build up one Of the
greatest industries which can bless the world,
and provide home market for the surplus
grain of the West. Let the Changers head
the petition, and others will be proud to sign
it.

sympathy for the old Democratic organization. Said
ono of. these leaders to me the other day: Tho
Democratic party do nothing for ms In Louisiana
All its theories and instincts opposed to our n-

affair of the nation to keep it off lands. The
Democratic party would not vote dollar for the
purpose. The Republican party built the Union Pa
cifc Railroad. and if get the Southern Pacific
line it will come from that party and not from the
Democracy. Last session the Republican Senate
voted money to establish steamship line from here
to Brazil, but the Democratic House killed the pro-
ject. We want tariff system maintained to pro-
tect our sugar planting interests; to Democratic
party would establish free trade if il could. tell YOU
We are not blind and that the barrier that kept
Ills IN one course in politics is removed we shall help
the party that can help us."
IL is encouraging tn those who look for the speedy
paccation of the State to notice how rapidly the ami
mostly toward Packard and his supporters is dying
out. The members of Packard's Legislature who had
been garrisoning q hostile fortihcation for three
months were received with applause when they ap-
peared to take their seats in the Conservative body.
Even Packard himself, whom one of the city papers
wanted hanged to the first lamp-post last January,
is spoken of with hardly trace of bitterness. In
stead of denunciation and abuse, one often hears
such remarl- made of him these: "Well, he's a
plucky fellow, any way; he stuck il out we'll"
Strange to say, the evils that have sprung from
negro suffrage do not seem to dispose the gov
erniug class TO take measures to limit its power OF
fuure mischief by restrictive legislation. In many

has proved effective in come there is renewed talk
