mentaIy leader. Ihe nearest approach
TO a natural leader for the present minor

He understands parliamentary tactics and
is quick ot thought. Not always judicious,

Free Sugar.

Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, who through
several Congresses has been very earnest
in behalf of the reductioa of he rate on
sugar, explained forcibly to-day the ar
puments IN favor of placing s gar on the
free list. The following are rome of the
points: The proposition TO put sugar
upon the free LIST Is in harmony with the
platform of the Republi an party and the
principles of protection Sugar is lot
produced in the United States IN sufficient
quantities either to supply the home
market or any considerable portion of it.
or to regulate the price of sugar in the
markets of the world. Last year the i'm
portations of sugar into the United States
amounted in value to S93, ,00O, 600.
OF this amount Sl2, 900, 900 was
imported from the Sandwich ISL
ands duty free. The amount of
duty received from sugar was S56, 900, 600.
The pro luction of sugar in the United
States amounted to only one eighth of the
consumption, yet the crop last year was
better in this country than the average. For
100 years sugar has been protected In that
time We have colecttd in revenue Sl5,-
800, 900, 900 from that article. Yet TO-DAY,
while the product Is only eighth of the
amount consumed, the cry comes up for
more protection. There is less sugar
produced in this country now than there
was thirty years ago The attempt of
the advocates of the retention of the sugar
duty TO make it appear that there is an
exact parallel between wool and sugar is
a failure. This will be seen by the
figures The production last year of
wool in the United States under
the present insufficient tariff. was
80, 100000 pounds, whereas the importa-
tions of wool were 100000. 900 pounds
last year. There was twice as much
produced at home as was imported, and
tue home production was sufficient to
control the price at home and to regulate
the price of wool IN the worlds market.
The parallel between wool and sugar,
therefore, cannot be drawn" Mr.. Can
non nude this statement: This sugar

wishes of those inte are concerned,

NATIONAL ELECTIONS.

The principal obje 'tion the opponents
or national election law bring against
such measure Is the claim that II cannot
be enforced. Those people whose mem-
ory 'ends back thirty years will recall
that the same objection was brought
against Abraham Lincoln's policy OF con-
quering the shareholders rebellion. III
the General Government cannot enforce
its own laws, and has to confess that 1t
must stand impotent before tho red
shirted rifle clubs of South Carolina and
the bulldozers of Mississippi. it presents
n pitiable spectacle to the world. No
self-respecting American will listen to
such an objection. III the necessity for
national election law can be shown the
government either has or Will be given
the power TO enforce it.
The real question is as TO the need or
such law, and that is answered by the
unlawful suppression of votes In num-
Der of the Southern States. The fact of
this suppression is too evident TO need
argument. 1t is acknowledged by the
Southern Democratic papers, and no one
who is worth listening to denies 1T. The
effect of this suppression OF legal voters
is to give the Democr tic party nm enor-
nous advantage overthe Republican party
in Presidential and Congressional elec-
tions. The frauds are perpetrated prin-
cipally in the FIVE States of South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and
