As the Democrats See It.

A Democrat is a person who be-
lieves that each State ought to do its
own work, look after itself, enjoy
home rule, and apply to federal gov
eminent only when, by the constitu-
ton of the United States, that gov
eminent is authorized to interfere.
A Republican believes that because
the federal government has surplus
the States should beg for it he be-
lieves that the State should do moth
ing for itself that it can compel the
federal government to do, and that
application for the interference of
that government should be made
whenever the constitution does not
forbid such interference. The ten
dency of the Republican party is to-
ward socialism, that of the Demo
cratic party toward individualism.
BY our constitution socialism is con-
demned the Democratic party alone
is the American party, living, NOV
ing and having its being in and on
the lines and ideas laid down by the
founders of this republican,. Y.

The Sugar Trust.

The Sugar Trust, according to tn
New York Times, was fully organized
about four months ago. BY the mid
die of October last it included all TIT
New York refneries and all tho Bos
ton refneries with one exception
"thus bringing under the management
and control Of a committee Of clever
refners almost the entire consumpti N
of raw sugar and production of rein
ed sugar in the United States" as
stated by Messrs. Willett d Hamber
in a printed circular. Soon after.
wards the st. Louis and New Orleans
refneries entered the ring. Since
then the combination has practically
controlled the purchase of raw sugars
and the sale of refined sugars in the
United States.
1t is understood that the value of
property thus pooled was about $751;
100000, and that Trust certificates
were issued thereon to the amount of
$60,000,000. A block of certificates
has been sold at eighty, indicating
that somebody believes that the valve
of property has raised from 5,000,-
900 to $48, 100000. In the first week
Of October, the price of cut-loaf and
crushed sugar was from SO to 81 cents
and that of granulated was 6. Three
weeks later cut-loaf and crushed had
gone up to Z cents, and at the begin
ming of January it was II, while that
of granulated was 7. Later there
was an advance to s and II, and a
fall on the 18th instant to "a and 81.
This indicates an average advance of
fully 1 cent a pound for the four
and in the meantime the price
of raw sugars had fallen. The Chi
cago times, referring to the matter,
says THE consumption of sugar in
this county is more than 100000
900 pounds a year, nearly every
pound of which goes through the
hands of the refiners. An advance
of cent pound in the refined article
the cost Of the raw remaining the
same, means gain of $30,000,000 a
year, or $40, 100000 for four months
to the refners. This is profit of 66s
per cent. on the value of the property
pooled, or 16S per cent. on Its water
ed value. But part of the profit
went to parties out of the pool, and
it is known that production has been
restricted for the purpose of advanc-
ing and sustaining prices, so that the
actual profit to the ringsters was some
thing less than $10,000,000." There
is law on the statute books Of New
York that prohibits such combina-
lions to enhance the cost of the neces-
saries of life. 1t ought to be enforc-
ed. Not only this, but Congress,
which proposes to put lumber and salt
on the free list, well aware that those
are as cheap as they can
be produced with a profit, appears
20 be willing to coddle to the sugar
rust by maintaining the tariff on su-
yars or only slightly reducing it.
This is the sort of consistency that
Ices not consist.-Saginaw Courier.

The tariff bill drawn up by the
Congressional Ways and Means Com
mittee, and submitted to the House
of Representatives, would, if passed,
make considerable reform in the
tariff taxes. Lumber and salt are
to be placed on the free list, when
Canada removes her export duty on
pine logs. Wool and large number
of articles are also placed on the
free list. The tariff tax on sugar is
reduced, but not, in our opinion,
enough. 1t ought to have been re-
duced one-half. There is consider
able reduction in the tax on steel
railway rails, crockery, glassware,
etc. One thing omitted is not TAX
ing off the duty on coal. The bill
provided for q reduction Of tariff
taxes to the amount of S50,000,000.
AT present the prospects are that the
Republican Congressman, almost to
a man, will vote against the reduc-
ton of the tariff taxes, and as they
expect to be aided by fifteen or twenty
protection Democrats, they think they
will be able to defeat the proposed
bill, which has for its object the re-
duction of the taxable burdens of
of the people.

"Low wages always give cheap
goods" says a protectionist contemp-
orary. This is a proven error. High
wages gives cheap goods. The reason
for this apparent solecism is that high
wages secure efficient labor and also
inevitably lead to the use of labor
saving. Observation-Disclosures Rec

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and
baffied the medical profession more than
nasal catarrh. While not Immediately
fatal, 1t is among the most distressing,
nauseous and disgusting Ills the flesh Is
heir to, and the records show very few or
no cases of radical cure OF chronic catarrh
by any OF the multitude of modes Of treat
ment until the introduction of Ely's
Cream Balm few years ago. The sue
cess OF this preparation has been most
gratifying.
