Black. of Cheyenne. was much annoyed
sby the persistence and determination
of sundry suitors for the hand of his
fair daughter, Miss Helen.
AS is always the case in mining dis
'tricts, the male population far outnum-
'bered theogentler sex. and Miss Helen,
who was handsome brunette, would
have been belle among far severer
critics than the youths of Cheyenne.
She had graduated at St. Louis, and be-
sides being gifted musician, was de-
vout worshiper of nature and fond OF
outdoor exercise.
Almost any fine evening in summer
a passer-by might hear her rich mezzo
voice accompanying her guitar to some
ringing ballad of the Plains"
Unconscious was she of the fact that
the melody fioated out from the shad-
ows of the cottonwood trees and mingled
with the broad, effulgent moonlight
and that many luckless youth dated a
hopeless love from the first evening
when he had dropped in to help the
sheriff and the old servant in making
an audience.
Miss Helen cared little for the ad-
miration Of men, but accepted it as
matter of course, having been brought
mp among them. She enjoyed herself
in fashion of hergown, with her books,
guitar, sketch book and her spirited
horse, Wildire.
Two of her lovers, however, seemed
to gain more favor than the rest. In
fact, popular opinion was puzzled as to
which would win.
One of them was tall, athletic young
Westerner, who was as bright and in
vigorating of presence as the air he
'breathed, and in whose clear, blue
eyes not shadow of deceit was visible.

The aforesaid rival was a wealthy

heartily when, on departing for his new
home, his Chicago friends had jokingly
that he would lose his heart to some
Western beauty. But here he was,

HUNGRY FOR soUNTIEs.

The SugaroBounty Extended to the Maple
Sugar Men, and Other Applicants For
Public Pap Put In Their Claims-Now Let
the Growers of Wheat and Cotton Speak
Out-McKinley Makes . Weak Defense of
His Bounty BY 4 Misfit Quotation From
Hamilton.
Once the Government starts out to
giving bounties there will be no point
at which it can stop without leaving
many unhappy bounty-hunters grumb-
ling because theywer left out in the
cold.
No sooner was it known that McKin-
ley gave bounty of two cents a 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 the bill
OF course they could bring forward
very strong arguments. ''Why make q
discrimination against our maple sugar?
Is it not sugar. too. just as well as cane
or beet-root sugar? Does it not grow
ground at that? Does it not require
all American sugar on the same footing?"
Well, the Senate committee said that
the maple sugar men had the better Of
into the bill for the twp-cent bounty ON
every pound produced. Thus the 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 itself
to be SO generous to the maple sugar
men other bounty-hunters have come
forward to ask an extension of Govern
ment charity. This time it is the
makers of grape sugar and glucose,
which are largely used to adulterate
other products They have also an
American article, employ American la
Dor, and make a sugar too. Why should
they be left out? They are just as
thirsty for Government aid as any of the
other sugar makers Now let us see
whether thesSenate committee can give
any good reason for not taking the grape
sugar and glucose men in out of the
cold?
If Mckinley and his tarif-makers
were asked why it is necessary to give
bounty on sugar they would talk
about our sugar-growers not being able
to compete with the cheap labor of the
West Indies, South America and Ger
many; and they would give you care
fully constructed tables showing the
wages of farm laborers in those coun-
tries. OF course, they will say. our
sugar-growers cannot compete with the
cheap labor, and therefore we must help
them in the unequal struggle by giving
them bounty.
But does not Mckinley see that if the
cheap-labor argument is to be used to
defend his sugar bounty. the same ar
gument would apply equally well to the
growers of wheat and cotton? The
growers of American wheat are COM
PEELED to sell their crop in competition
with thee cheap labor of Russia
and India; and the American cot
ton-growers must meet on the
wharves of Liverpool the cotton
produced by the miserably paid labor Of
India and Egypt How can they do this
without , bounty? Are not the wheat
and cotton growers good and worthy

Smuggling ut New York.

Extensive smuggling OF clothing has
been detected by the Government ohi-
Gals in New York. The stewards, cooks
and other employees of the great ocean
steamers were hired to bring over the
bundles of clothing. which were finally
carried ashore in bundles of linen for
the laundry.
The thing has been going on for
long time, but the recent seizure of a
number of bundles of clothing and the
arrest of several Of the guilty persons
will make the smugglers lie low for the
future, and all orders for Struggled
clothing will doubtless be declared off F"
But how does it happen that men find
it profitable to smuggle? Have not the
protectionist politicians been telling US
all along that clothes are as cheap here
as in Europe?
There must be some mistake about
that The smugglers are a standing
proof that this is ali poppycock- The
smugglers are, in their way, capital
tariff reform argument
As matter OF fact clothing cost about
twice as much here as in England: and
this can be proven ovee and over again
But Mckinley himself gives th9best
answer to this false claim of his pro-
tectionist brethren-he raises the high
duty on clothing to still higher point
and tells US boldly in his tariff speech:
I'VE want no return to cheap times in
our own country
If clothing were the same price here
as in Europe the smuggler's occupation
and McKinley's too, for that matter
would be gone

American citizens? Do they not give
employment to American labor?
When Mr.. Mckinley brought his Tar
il bill into the House he accompanied
it with a report in which he attempted
to bolster mp his sugar bounty by quot
ing Alexander Hamilton. and saying
that sthe sanction of no higher author
ity in American statesmanship could be
invoked"
Then he makes . quotation from
Hamilton in defense of beunfies; but
the quotation itself shows in plain
black and white that Hamilton was adj
vocating bounties Ito stimulate and mp
hold new enterprises" they were to be
applied s-to the acquisition Of new and
useful branch of industry" and Hamil-
toms bounty was to be "a temporary ex-
pense."
Seldom has public man ever quoted
An authority SO inapt'y as Mckinley
did in this case; for sugar-growing is
not "a new industry" under the most
liberal Interpretation of Hamilton's
words; and to speak Of the ''acquisi-
ton" of it is simply gross misuse OF
the English language. Again, Hamil-
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 viii
be any more able to stand on its own
feet than it is to-day? 1t has already
existed long enough to develop the nee
essary skill; and it is folly to hope that
the bounty will have the slightest eff
feet in developing greater degree of
skill in our sugar-making process, or
that this greater skill viii be added as
permanent factor to the wealth-pro-
ducing capacity of the Nation
As the matter stands Mckinley gives
the sugar men s., O0o. 600 a year out of
the peoples taxes; but how much that
will grow to in fifteen years nobody
knows. 1t may be twice as much or it
may be ten times as much But if the
sum should even remain the same, that
would mean sos, 600. 600 for the fifteen
years-which is certainly an enormous
sum to pay people for doing their own
private business.
Mckinley, however, is a champion
when it comes to knocking out surplus
But he sees that the people are going to
object to giving away this enormous
sum of money; and so he fixes the dona-
ton for period of fifteen years, hoping
that thereby future Congresses can not
undo his iniouitOuS bounty giving.

were spoken she repented. but Joe rode
