THE TAX ON SUGAR.

We referred the other day to the
tax on lumber and the reasons why
it should be repealed. A tax with a
still stronge~ argument in favor of
it's repeal is that on sugar. Some re-
Gently compiled statistics show that
the total consumption of sugar in
this country is over 100000 tons an
nually of which only about 100, 000is
raised here and the balance is i'm
ported, or about one pound in ten is
produced in this country. Tariff is
about 100 per cent SO that for every
dollar consumer pays for sugar fifty
cents goes to the government in
other words, we pay just twice as
much for sugar as we should if there
was no tariff. Nearly $50, 100000
are paid by the consumers annually
as tariff. The value of all the SUI
gar raised in this country is less than
1000, 900, and the real estate val
uation of Louisiana is but little in ex-
cess of the annual tax paid by the
consumers of sugar. The case is well
stated when it is said that for the
benefit of few sugar planters the
people of this country pay enough to
buy the whole state of Louisiana ev-
cry year and get nothing for their
money. This is probably the most
striking case on record of the tail
wagging the dog. Shall such con-
dition of affairs be permitted to en-
dure for ever?-Feee Press.

BLAINE AND Hrs BooKs.-Blaine
began work on his books directly af-
ter the marriage of his daughter in
February, 1888, writes I. G. Craw-
ford from Washington. He first made
a visit to New York, where he had an
interview with his Connecticut pub
fishers. The plan of the book involv-
ed the publication of two volumes of
600 pages each. There are also in
the neighborhood of fifty steel en-
cravings of public men. Mr.: Blaine
was offered what appeared to be lib
eral terms. Before he touched his
pen to paper he was offered 500, 900
for his share in the ownership. He
was offered his choice between this
lump sum and royalty. A number of
statements have been printed about
the price Mr.. Blaine is to receive for
writing this work. l have it from
the author that he receives eighty
cents upon each volume sold, and has
never been paid any specified sum, he
preferring a royalty. AS sale of a
100000 volumes is already ordered,
this insures the writer $50, 900 for his
years work. The publishers expect
to sell at least 100000 copies of this
book. If they should succeed in this.
Mr.. Blaine's nimble pen will have
earned for him this last year $780,
900. This is probably as satisfactory
years result as any of the statesmen
in active public life can have accom-
plished.
