THE SUGAR TARIFF.
A Tax on the Consumers for the Bensnt
of Privileged Class.

A Tax on the Consumers for the Bensnt
of q Privileged Glass.
Forty years ago the domestic produc-
ton of sugar amounted to more than
third of the domestic consumption To-
day it amounts to only one-tenth. Then
we raised at home rs much as would
supply the residents of the entire Mis-
sissippi valley, as existing at that time.
Now we raise barely enough to supply
the people of Missouri and Illinois
Population has been growing rapidly
throughout the country in this period,
and the amount consumed per capita
has largely increased. while the aggre-
gate home product has remained prscti-
cally unchanged. Taking the FIVE
years beginning with 1850 and the five
years ending with 1889, indeed, and it
will be found that the absolute produc-
ton of the earlier period was greater
than that of the later one, although the
populatio of the country has increased
from 90, 900, 600 in 1850 to IS. 600, 900 IN
1890, or nearly tripled in the interval.
These are some of the reasons why
the people of the country have COM
PEELED the ways and means committee
to put raw sugar on-the free list, and
why the protests of the sugar planters
and their agents against this action will
be disregarded. Sugar has been on the
dutiable schedules during nearly the
whole period Of the Nations existence
under the constitution All the aid
which has been given by our revenue
laws to the manufactures Of the textiles
and metals has been fairly and freely
ex tended to sugar, although the latter
product has not grown for more than q
genera ton, while all the others have
more than kept pace with the expan-
sion in population, and are approx
mately equal to the home demand. The
duties on sugar have long since ceased
to be protective in the broad economic
sense, and their maintenance can not
be defended or justified on protectionist
grounds. They are a tax on the con-
sumner for the benefit of small class of
the population which is steadily grow
ing smaller absolutely as we'll as pro-
portionately. Whether the proposed
bounty be kept up for fifteen years or
for only five years, sugar must be put
on the free list and kept there.-Chi-

soon as he heard that the fighting Phil
Sheridan was on the Mexican frontier.
he withdrew all his troops over the first
range of mountains, leaving . wide and
fertile expanse of country unguarded
by his troops, and into this expanse the
republican patriots iocked and sifted
themselves from all quarters And these
Mexican republicans found the Mexican
border strewn with good weapons and
plenty of ammunition, which they knew

Mexican republicans flor it is just as

Southeastern law-breakers, perjurers
and cowardly assassins are distinctly
notified that the spirit of the grestcom-

Nation is now just as able to cope with
an internal foe as it was during the war
of the rebellion; and very much better

wake.
Thus, as in dream Of luxury, followed
BY many ships, we glided on toward the
wooded slopes OF Taurus, at whose foot lay
that ancient city Tarshish. And as we came
the people gathered on the banks and ran
before rs shouting: .fVenus is risen from
the sea! Venus hath come to visit BAG
chusln We drew near to the city, and all
its people-every one who could walk or be
carried-crowded down in thousands to the
docks, and with them came the whole army
of Antony, so at length the Triumvir was
left alone upon the judgment seat
With them came DeIlius, the false
tongued, fawning and bowling, and in the
name Of Antony gave the ''Queen OF Bean
~" greeting, bidding her to a feast that
Antony had made ready. But she made high
answer, and said: "Forsooth, tits Antony
who should wait on us; not we on Antony.
Bid the noble Antony to our poor table this
night, else we dine alone"
Deliius went, bowling to the ground; the
feast was made ready; and then at last
seteyes on Antony. Clad in purple robes
he came, great man and beautiful to see,
set in the stout prime of life, with bright
eyes of blue, and cnrline hair, and features
cut sharply as Grecian gem. For great
he was of form and royal Of mien, and with
an open countenance, wherein his thoughts
were writ so clear that's might read them;
only the weakness of the mouth belIed the
power of the brow. He came companloned
by his generals, and when he reached the
couch whereon Cleopatra lay he stood as
tonished, gazing on her with wide-opened
eyes. She. too, gazed on him earnestly; I
saw the red blood run up beneath her skin,
and great pang Of jealousy seized upon
my heart. And Charmion, who saw all be-
meath her downcast eyes, saw this also and
smiled. But Cleopatra spoke no word, only
she stretched out her white hand for him
to kiss; ard he, saying no word, took her
hand and kissed it.
"Behold, noble Antonyln she said at last
in her voice of music, ''thou hast called me,
and I am come"
Venus has come" he answered in his
deep notes, and still holding his eyes fast
fixed upon her face II called woman; a

SPEAKER REEDS spEecn.
The Southern Question Presented In IN
Original Manner.

The Southern Question Presented In IN
Original Manner.
The address of Speaker Reed at Pitts
burgh presents the Southern question in
an original and striking manner.
Taking it for granted. he argues, that
the negro has no rights as a voter that
any Southern State can afford to re-
spect, it is different with the United
States While the blacks may be strong
enough in given State to outvote the
whites If permitted to do 80, they are
not thus formidable in the country at
large, and therefore the fear of negro
domination can not logically or proper
ly be used IS an argument against their
participation in elections which relate
entirely to affairs in which the whole
Nation is concerned. '.In other words"
as the Speaker tersely puts it, ''the ex-
cuse, whether it be good or bad, for
cheating at State elections can not be
spread beyond State elections" But
the South is no more willing to let the
negro vote at Federal election than at
a local election. She insists that he
shall not vote at all, and the only rea-
son she gives for it is one which loses it's
force the moment that National issue
intervenes. II she would confine the
process of negro Acknowledgement to
State matters she might possibly justify
herself. but when she refuses thus to
limit it she gives away her whole case.
1t is not proposed by the most radical
advocate Of Federal election laws to in
terfere with State elections. The most
that is asked is that elections involving
the choice of a President and members
of Congress shall be placed under Ma
tional supervision, not in the South
alone, but in the whole country. This
would give the negro chance to cast
his ballot for Federal officers, at any rate;
and it is nonsense to say that any South
ern State could thereby be subjected to
negro rule. The whites would prob
ably not elect as many Congressman as
they do at present; but, as Mr.. Reed
points out, if the blacks should elect
men oftheir own color in all the dis
tricts where they are in majority, they
could only get thirty out Of $50, and so
the country would still have abundant
protection against negro domination.
Al tHc management VI lOCdA ihtcEcsbSs
each State would remain supreme,
controlling its own elections absolutely,
and doing as it pleased with reference
alike to white and black voters. The
Nation as Nation would cease to have
any vital stake in the Southern election
system, and the different States would
be left free to try the experiment of
permanently enthroning injustice" as
Mr.. Reed says, without making the
United States a party to the transac
ton. Such solution of the problem
may not answer all the demands of con-
sistency and propriety; but it is GER
tainly preferable to any plan that has
yet been tried. and the South can not
object to it on any reasonable or plausi
