HUNGRY FOR BOUNTIES.

The Sugar Bounty Extended to the Maplt
Sugar Men, and Other Applicants Foi

| the Growers of Wheat and Cotton SPEAK
Out-NlcKinley Makes n Weak Defense OF
His Bounty by Misht Quotation From
Hamilton.
Once tho Government starts out to
giving bounties there will be no point
at which 1T can stop without leaving
many unhappy bounty-hunters grumb.
ling because they were left out in the
cold.
No sooner was IL known that McKin.
ley gave bounty of two cents pound
on sugar than the Vermont people, who
produce small quantity OF maple sugar,
beset the Senate Finace Committee and
pleaded to be included in the bounty
clause of tho bill.
OF course they could bring forward
very strong arguments. "Why make a
discrimination against our maple sugar.
Is 1t not sugar, too, just as we'll as cane
or boet-root sugar? Does it not grow
out OF the ground-and American
ground at that? Does it not require
labor-American labor? Why not put
MI American sugar on the same footing?"
well, the Senate committee said that
the maple sugar men had the better OF
the argument and so maple sugar goes
into the bill for tho two-cent bounty on
every pound produced. Thus tho makers
OF maple sugar. as well as the growers OF
cane and beet-root sugar, are to BE- paid
to DO their own business paid out OF
taxes collected from the people.
AS the Senate committee showed itse,,
10 DO so generous to the maple sugar
mon other bounty-huntors have como
forward to ask an extension Of Govern.

M'KlNlEYS HAND FELT

Effect of the High Tariff Bill Already Fell
in the New York Dry Goods Market
The pretense is sometimes made BY
protectionists that the tariff does na
increase the cost Of goods. How false
that claim is may be judged from tho
following fact. The New York Com
mercial Bulletin in recent market re-
port has these words on the conditions
now prevailing in that city among tls
importers of foreign dry goods 'ln'
porters, confident Of the passage Of tho
Mckinley Tariff bill, are firm in she'
insistance for advanced prices. Buyers
on the other hand, refuse to do business
save at old prices tariff change ofN
tariff change, and there tho ma''a
stands to-day as for some weeks psa
Importers are massing large supplies ID

posed tariff"
This is clear case OF cause ana eAe'
If Tariff bill is to pass puttingIr
creased duties on goods, these duus
will raise the price by precisely SomWi

When Mr.. Mckinley brought his IT,,
if bill into the House he accompanies
it with a report in which he attemntss
to bolster up his sugar bounty BY uuo,
ing Alexander Hamilton, and sayip,
that 'the sanction of no higher autbo,.
ity in American craftsmanship could bA
invoked"
Then he makes quotation from
Hamilton in defense of bounties br,
the quotation itself shows in Mai,
black and white that Hamilton was A.
vocating bounties ITO stimulate and nm.
hold new enterprises" they were to /.
applied ito the acquisition of a new and
useful branch of industry" and Hamn,
toms bounty was to be "a temporary ey.
pense."
Seldom has q public man ever ouotoA
an authority so inaptly as McKinlsv
did in this case; for sugar-growing /,
not "a new industry" under the most
liberal Interpretation of Hamilton,
words; and to speak of the "aCuus.
ton" of it is simply gross misuse o.
the English language. Again, HanN.
ton speaks of Temporary" expense
for the establishment of an industry
What right has Mckinley to assume
that at the end of his fifteen years
bounty the sugar-growing industry will
be any more able to stand on Its own
feet than it is to-day? It has ALREADY
existed long enough to develop the nec
essary skill; and it is folly to hope that
the bounty will have the slightest ei.
feet in developing greater degree Of
skill in our sugar-making process or
that this greater skill will be added IS
; a permanent factor to the wealth-pN
ducing capacity of tho Nation.
As the matter stands Mckinley gives
the sugar men S7,OOO,O 900 a year Outd
the peoples taxes; but how much thai
will grow to in fifteen years nobody
, knows. 1t may be twice as much or Il
may be ten times as much. Butifths
/ sum should even remain the same, that
would mean $1O5, ,O0O 900 for the fifteen
