MIR. FLOWERS ALLEGED IDEAS.

At the hearing last week before the Com
mittee OF Ways and Means, Of the repre-
sentatives OF the Farmers Alliance, who
were urging their novel sub-treasury scheme,
Mr.. Roswell p. Flower, Of New York, gave
utterance to couple Of gems OF economic
wisdom, which he rendered aS the solution
Of the difficulties OF the agricultural stu
alton.
Mr.. Flowers first proposition was that
the farmers ought TO restrict the production
Of agricultural staples In order TO get
better prices for them. This theory OF
making food scarce and high for the
laboung masses 10 not more remnrka-
BILE than lis recommendation 10 the farmers
to achieve the impossible. When the
1000 900 farmers OF this country can get
the wheat raiscrs Of Russia. Egypt, India,
Australia and South America 10 act In
unison with them, and can In addition
secure enactments that no new farmers, any
where In the world. shall start crops 10
secure the benefit of enhanced prices, then
restriction Of agricultural products may
mean something beside handing over the
market OF the world TO other producers, and
not till then.
But this remarkable suggestion is cast in
the shade by Mr.. Flowers other idea. The
currency system of the country is wrong,
Mr.. Flower asserts, and the control Of 1t
should be turned over to the States once
more. In other words Mr.. Flower proposes
to restore the devious ard exciting features
of wild cat banking, and to secure to the
farmers the ineffable benefit Of standing
shaves of ten, twenty or forty per cent on
the bank notes they receive in exchange for
their crops, or rather on that portion OF their
bank notes which they do not find reduced
to the value Of waste paper on some unex-
pected date.
The Farmers Alliance plan is rather i'm
practicable; but in no respect is 1t SO utterly
crude and so completely Indifferent to the
testimony Of experience as the suggestions
offered by this New York millionaire.

THE sPEAK.EAsIEs MUST GO.

The campaign against the speak-easies
is assuming large proportions. From our
local reports il will be seen that municipal
and national officials are joining hands in
the work of making clean sweep of the
illicit saloons and the promise is held out
that by June l the city will be wholly rid Of
them. This, as THE DISPATCH has said
before, is as it should be. The only criticism
that can be offered on the movement is that
the attack on the unlicensed saloons was
not begun before. Every reason that now
exists for wIping out these unlawful drink
ing dens existed last year; and the public
duty Of attacking them was just as binding
in 1889 as in 1890. But 1t is better late than
never; and the public will wish the officials
in charge ofthe movement complete success
ia their reformatory work.

becnuse thew are beneficial 70 pemOcratic

because they are beneficial to Democratic
interests"
The truth Of this assertion Is to be found
in the measure which the Courier-Journai
has supported and that which IL now OPP
poses. Having lodged about the question in
the manner above indicated, 1t wants THE
DISPATCH to ''study the Mckinley bill
and compare it with the Mills bill" That is
exactly what this paper has been doing in
its columns and what our Kentucky cotem-
porary has carefully abstained from doing.
For its benefit we will repeat the figures
The Mckinley bill makes raw sugar free,
giving the domestic planters compensatory
bounty of cents per pound, thus giving
planters the same protection as heretofore,
with q saving to consumers of about S55, ,000,-
900 per year. 1t puts duty on refined
sugars of four-tenths of cent per
pound, which Is the margin of protection
thus given to the refners. What did the
Mills DILL do? Under 1t the duties on raw
sugar ranged from 1.15 to 1.95c per pound,
and on the grades which furnish eleven
twelfths Of the raw supply, Its duty was LA
TO 1.s2c, making an average duty OF 1.6Ic
The duty on refined sugars was, 2.4c on the
lowest grade of white sugar and 2.sc on
granulated. This makes the margin Of
protection to the sugar refners from eight
tenths to one-and-two. tenths cents. In other
words, the Mckinley bill gives one-third to
one-half the protection to the Sugar Trust
that the Mills bill did and one-third to one
quarter that of the present tariff.
We believe that margin is unnecessary.
But II IL is lowered 1t will be done by Re-
publican votes; II is raised II will be by
Democratic votes. Despite the convolu-
tions Of our Kentucky contemporary, the fact
remains that the free trade cry about kill
ing the trusts by cutting down the tariff, be-
comes dense silence when the policy is ap-
piled 10 the Sugar Trust.

FAITHFUL TO ITS TRUST.

The Louisville Courier-JournGl takes
smother twist on the sugar question. Hav-
ing asserted that The DIsPATcH's state
ment that the sugar duties are prohibItive
on ali grades fit for consumption" was
false statement, and being compelled to take
that back, it now makes the wriggle that
'the tariff in so far as it benefits the refners
inures to the benefit not Of the South but of
the North" and asserts that THE DIS
PATCH charged that the Courier-Journal
opposed free sugar because the South re-
ceived the full benefit of what it was
pleased to call a probibitory duty" This
is simply another instance of the esteemed
Courier Journals chronic inability to state
an issue correctly. We bave never i'm
ported any such cheap sectionalism into the
issue as the Courier, Journal IS prone to.

is true is that the Courier-Journal opposes

ITS HIGHEST UTILITY.

The plans Of the Exposition Society, as
will be seen by the expressions Of its manager
in our local columns, contemplate making
the second Exposition peculiarly valuable
TO Pittsburg rs IN illustration of our in
dustries aud proof to capitalists and manu-
facturerS of the unlimited field for enterprise
offered In and about this city. For the more
perfect carrying out Of Its plans, the society
proposes TO secure subscriptions 10 the extent
OF n hundred additional life memberships.
Il is an eminently correct view Of the
highest utilities Of the Exposition that IL set
forth In the interview referred 10. The
grenteSt value Of such enterprises 10 n pro-
grcssive community IL first In extending the
reputation Of its products and opening the
way 10 an extension Of itH markets.
md second In presenting the proof 10
the world Of the field for enter
priscs and the opportunities for investment
in tho districts which they represent. The de-
vices which draw crowds nre doubtless neces-
Eary 10 swell the receipts which support such
eKpositions. The art Of combining one
object with another without permitting the
lesser 10 overcome the greater, requires 4
rare degree of skill and judgment; but
with the high ideal that they have set before
them, there is no doubt that our Exposition
managers will accomplish great good for
Pitlsburg in the permanent enhancement OF
its prosperity by the policy which aims at the
largest results.
With such prospect of usefulness before
the society there should be no delay on the
part Of the business interests of Pittsburg
in subscribing whatever funds may be neces-
sary for the most thorough realization of the
Exposition Society's plans.
