TIE Duty Oh Sugar.

The proposed twenty per cent. re-
duction in the duly on sugar is natur-
ally enough vehemently opposed by
the Louisiana delegation, who are
staunch Pro .ectioais;s as FAR as sugar
is concerned and usually Free Traders
as respects everything else No single
int. est bas received longer or greater
protection than the Louisia0a sugar To-
terest, yet il has been stimulated into
nothing like propor.ionare develop
ment, for Notwithstanding the high
rate of duty, nearly nioe-tentbs of all
The sugar consumed ia this country is
imported ON Abroad. Tue competl-
ton of tbe slave la3o; of the West
Iodies is given as reaaon why the
Louisiana planters should receive 80
much protection, bat this competition
was as seriously felt before Tue war
When the Sou,her capeields were 10

sill called for protection. The great
advantage of toe West Iudies consists
10 their tropical sun, uDder whose ver-
tical beams sugar zane & ows spon-
taueously aod Gao be made to yield
sugar with an a1rnda ace and ease lbat
defes Tue most industrious ana ener-
getic competition of colder countries,
even though semi-.ropicLl.
The consumption of sugar in the
United States is about 1000. 900, 900
pounds per cunum. The aDnual pro-
due lion for .he whole world of all kinds
of sugar is about $4,000, 900, 900
pounds, and of this Great Britain aud
tbe United States together consume
fully oue-fourth. The consumption of
sugar per capi,a is considerably greater
in Great Britain than 10 the United
owing probable 70 the fact that the
absence of any duly makes it about one
third cheaper than with rs. The
abolation of the duly on sugar by
Great Dritain iu 1874 was followed by
an increase in the iDportations The
year following by more than 100. .0O0,-
600 pounds, while the incr, ase in the
| impoi tation of molasses for Tue same
exceeded 100 per cent Thouoh usual
ly counted as luxury, the habits and
tastes of our people make sugar au
actual necessity, aud The tax upon it is
felt in every household in the land.
Our Imports of sugar for 1882 were
1863, ,l72,S97 pounds on which The con-
sumers paid tax of $45,7G3, 900,
which was nearly one-fourth of our
entire customs revenue. The compen.
sa,ing advantage for this, from pro-
lection standpoint, is that the plan
ters Of Southern Louisiana were
able to raise and sell some 200, 900, ,00C
pouods of sueal. If there was any
prospect that they would ultimately be
able, through the protection now Civ
en-, to supply the home demand theil
plea for its retention would have some
force.

No Brass Medals In PennsyI-
yaula.

There is another hitch in the distri-
butioo of the famous 1906" medals OF
beaten brass. The delay, after the
Il, st announcement of the existence of
the medals, was so great that many OF
the faithful Three Hundred and Sixers
hogan to doubt that apy such emblem
bad been made, aud some basty Stall
wart editors denounced the whole
story as "maligoaot Half-breed lie.'
Several weeks ago, however, the medals
were completed and sent to Senator
Cameron at Washington for distribu-
tion. A graphic description of them
was about the same time published in
the Tribune, but not, we regret to say,
10 any of the Stalwart journals. Sub
sequeutly the batch for the New York
Contingent of the Third Term Spartan
Daud was sent TO this CITY for dis.ribU-
too, aod were distributed, we believe,
but without ftting public ceremonial
such as we should have been glad to
see
1t is made known now that the
Penusylvania batch has never been
distributed. Somebody asked one of
the meu entitled TO one, receotly, if he
had received his, aod he replied that
he had not. giving this interesting
reason for the DELAY: "The big fell
lows think it would be unwise to send
them out. They are suart RI with
holding them, Too, particularly here 10
Peonsylvania, where the weight OF the
medal would only be an additional
draw back to the patty in the coming

about it is The revelation that the "big

realize that Grant;sm is a weigbty issue

knows that. He had no desire to take

phospnorescent paint, is included in
the train which leaves Liverpool Street
station for Rotberhithe, via the Thames
Tunrel, at Il:S A. NJ. Although only
one-balf of the available space of the
carriage is painted, the phosphorescent
light is quite sufficient to enable the
passengers to distinguish small objects
when passing through the tunnel, and,
moreover, the light is powerful enough
to enable person to read the indica-

A Hunting Story.

There are many incidents that occur
during our hunting season, wh ich, per-
haps, might not be out OF place if
printed in a newspaper We shall I'M
dertake to tell you of one of recent
date. On Thursday last, while three
young men from this city were out
hunting. one of the party, through
some means or other, became separated
from the rest, and started off for
hunt by himself. His companions,
after waiting some time for his return,
became anxious for their friends safe
ty, and set out to make search for him
After long and unsuccessful search,
they sat down upon the hillside to
mediate on the next move they
should make in order to find their lost
companion. While sitting on the hill
side, they heard great roaring III the
timber just beyond, and being anxious
to know what caused such a terrible
noise, they at once repaired to the
place from whence tie roaring came
when to their great surprise, they be-
held large bull walking arounda tree,
in pasture, roaring and believing,
and at times tearing up the ground i'll
his madness They cast their eyes into
the branches of the tree. and there
they beheld their friend, all huddled
up in the forks of the tree, anXiOusly

batter the tree to the ground, and then
play ante-ante overiwith the frail body
in the tree. But, however, the animal
was induced to depart without his
prey. and the boy, trembling with fear
and all covered with perspiration, was
induced to descend from the tree and
take passage in a buggy drawn by a
stormer, but driven by the weak and
broken down boy sportsman, who at
times imagined that he heard the mad
and furious bull at the wheels of his
buggy, believing for his carcass.
