RATE WAR TO END.

His Tactics.

The Santa Fe CompeIs Jay Gould to Change
His Tactics.
New YORK, May ga piece of news
that George Magoun, chairman of the
A., Il. & S. +. railroad, gave to Wall
street was the cause of much remark.
The news was that Jay Gould had
sent his son George to see Mr.. Magoun
on Monday to make overtures for a
peaceful settlement of the rate war in
the West. Mr.. Gould, to punish other
railroads, made cuts right and left,
which were hurting the business of the
Atchison in the territory between st.
Louis and Denver and President Marvel
wrote Gould that unless he stopped
this business the Atchison would make
a 81 rate from St Louis to the Gulf of
Mexico Now this is one of Mr.. Gould's
most cherished territories. The Santa
Fe has road from st. Louis to the gulf,
but very long route and one not much
patronized by passengers. If it put the
tariff to ten cents it would not hurt it's
own revenue much in comparison with
the loss that Gould would sustain by
being forced to meet that rate.
George Gould, Mr.. Magoun said, con-
graduated the Santa Fe Company very
warmly on their recent purchase of the
Frisco line and then declared his will
ingness to restore rates.
This means, of course, the end of the
Western rate war and steps will be
taken at once to announce a discontinue
ance of hostilities. George Gould spoke
for his father and on his behalf gave
Mr.. Magoun his personal assurance that
in good faith he wished to see the war
over.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Inter
State Commerce Commission, in an opin-
ion by Commissioner Schoonmaker, de-
cided the cases of Lehman, Higginson
& Co., of Hum boldt, Kan, against the
transcontinetal lines. Complaint was
made of unjust discrimination in
rates on refined sugar in car
loads by charging Go cents per 100
pounds from San Francisco to Kansas
City, Mo-, and So cents per 100 pounds
from San Francisco to Humboldt, more
than 100 miles shorter distance, but not
on the through lines to Kansas City.
The Commission holds that the lower
rates to Kansas City are forced on the
carriers by competitive conditions be-
yond their control, and the rate
to Humboldt from San Francisco
was not unreasonable in itself,
but lower than it would be except
from these competitive conditions at
Kansas City, and it not appearing that
substantial injustice resulted from the
higher rate to Humboldt, this rate and
the lower one to Kansas City were not
found to be in contravention of the stat

Free Supar and n Bountv.

The action of the Mckinley commit
tee in putting raw sugar on the free list
is to be highly commended. When this
results in cheaper sugar for the millions,
as it certainly will, the users of sugar
will be asked to decide whether the
tariff is tax; and if they find that it lisa
tax, they may see that a tariff is good
thing-good toget rid of as fast as posi-
BILE. This is the kind of education that
not only saves money to the consumer,
but also prepares him for intelligent
views and wise action in the future. A
most valuable part of the education
will come from the bounty which the
bill gives to the sugar-growers. The
bill provides that the growers shall re-
ceive from the United States treasury
two cents pound on all the sugar they
produce. This will lift from the
treasury each year the neat little
sum of seven million dollars, and
still larger sum as the
bounty-fed sugar-growers multiply in
number and add to their acres. When
the people see this sum flowing out of
the treasury every year to pay the sugar
growers for doing their own work, they
will begin to see that it is all huge
piece of folly. If the sugar-grower is to
be paid by the Government, why not the
corn-growers also, and the wheat-grow-
ers and the cotton-growers? Then why
not pay everybody for doing his own
work?
But that would be piece of gigantic
socialism such as few intelligent men
are ready to saction. Besides bankrupt
ing the treasury it would bankrupt the
self-reliant American character. 1t is a
good doctrine that every man should de-
pend on his own strong arm, rather than
lean on the strong arm of the Govern
ment
Every system of bounties and every
form of protection tells man to rely on
the Government rather than on himself
And there is socialism.
