Changing Front.

About three weeks since the New York
Tribune demanded that when congress
assemblies next winter, il the sugar trust
lives so long, one of the most important
duties before representatives of the peos
pie will be to consider whether the exist.
ing duties on sugar, raw and refined tend
in any way tn aid or encourage a combi-
nation to extort money from American
consumers, and in what way the duties
can be so changed as most effectuslly to
defeat that combination. For there is no
room for doubt about the hostility of
this particular trust to the public inter-
est"
sugar trust has suppressed production at
important works, and il has in fact in
creased the cost of sugar to consumers;
that congress will and itself forced by
public opinion TO look into the matter
very closely and to make it entirely clear
that members do not mean to leave any
reasonable or proper thing undone that
may help to protect the public against
extortion.
To this the Chicago Nelos remarks that
this is a complete change of front on the
part of the New York journal, for the
reason that on the 25th of April that
paper said: The truth is that the sugar
trust exists and EFFORTS money without
the slightest aid from the tariff On
May Il it repeated this statement
Now, however, just about the close of
the month OF June, this leader of the
high protection party gives notice of a
prospective change OF front It. in
point of fact, is now engaged IN prepar
ing its readers for the actual truth of the
situation. which Mr.. Hsvemeyer. one of
the principals of the trust, admitted be-
fore the New York senate committee,
and which is that without the tariff the
sugar trust would be impossible.
When the New York Tribune says
that congress ought to consider in what
way the existing duties can be so
changed as most effectually to defeat the
combination" "a wayfaring man, though
fool" can see that it considers its
original position on the subject unten-
able, and is now almost persuaded to ac-
cept ex~President Cleveland's original
proposition-that the tariff is almost
purelys breeder of trusts 80

WASHINGTON CITY, July 2o.-Secretary
Of the Treasury Window is not troubled by
the published reports that the reserve in the
New York banks is getting dangerously low
and that there are indications of a stringen-
cy IN the money market, which may call for
some action by the treasury department
The secretary said yesterday that he could
see no evidence of money being tight from
the fact that while the department offered
TO buy bonds at a liberal figure the offers
were not numerous

and, after glancing at the figures continued:
"The surplus now amounts in round figures
TO $4,000, 600, of which, according to this
report, 5000, oOO including the current
balance Is ia the hands Of the hanks, and
sl4, OOO,OOO Is IN the treasury. The money in
the bsnks is about the same as when Mr..
Fairchild was secretary OF the treasury. **-
So you see the great bulk of the surplus is in

much more unless authorized by congress"

Deafness Cant bs Cursd

by local application, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infisned con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eustsch-
ian tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fismmation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catsrrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catsrrh)
that we can not cure by taking Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
