What Free Sugar Means.

Itdoes not folio " that If the Mckinley bill
with its free sugar schedule should become
I law consumers OF sugar would get sugar
for a less prics than they now get it. The
Mckinley bill does not admit al grades Of
sugar free Of duty. Il admits only raw
sugar, aud it Its a heavy duty on refined
gar. About all the sugar consumed in
this country is refined sugar. Even the
/ poorest people use refined sugar when they
use any at all For the fiscal year ending
June 80 1889. the value OF the raw sugar
imported into this country was about
| SO. OOOOO1, and on this a duty Of over
/ So. 900 900 was collected. TIE value Of tho
refined sugar imported that year was only
about 81 900.
Tho raw sugar when it reaches this coun-
try goes into the possession OF the refiners.
and, as already stated, they ara amply pro-
tectei. There is no probability, therefore,
that there would be any increase in the i'm
portations of refilei sugar if the Mckinley
bill should become law.
But, the friends of the Mckinley bill say,
If raw sugar sh 0uld be admitted free the
price of refined sugar would decline
10 the extent Of the present duty. l. is by
no means certain that it would IN
der existing circumstances. II there
were competition in the refining of sugar
there IS no doubt that it would, but there is
practically no competition. There is a
great sugar refining trust which controls the
price OF refined sugar, and which would con-
tinue to control it even if sugar should be
admitted free. This trust could keep the
price of refined sugar at just what it is
now, or even increa g it,
The free sugar schedule in the Mckinley
bill means, therefore, the putting of le $50,
600, 900 which is now paid into the federal
treasury annually in the shape of duties
into the pockets of the members of the sugar
trust The government, therefore, would
lose not only this immense reveaus without
gaining any benefit for the the people but
would have to pay out about s7,O000OO
annually In bounties to sugar producers in
this country.
Can it be possible that the republicans
understand that this would be the result of
the passage of the Mckinley bill with it's
free sugar clauses Perhaps they do, and it
is probable that the sugar trust understands
it. May there not be also an understanding
that a large part of the vast sun
OF money which the sugar trust would
be able to collect from the people shall be
turned over to the republican party for
campaign Durposesl This is a IN utter that

Prohibition Blackmaile RS.

The Des MOines la Register furnishes
some striking facts and Fl CURES taken from
the official records. which show how the
prohibition law is taken advantage of thee
to collect legal blackmail from the state.
Liquor is sold openly. it appears,
and instead of prosecuting violators
OF the prohibition law the officials
rather encourage the sale of liquor The
law provides for liberal fee for informers,
provision which was inserted in the hope
of securing the exec dtion of the law, and it
seems that that hope has been more than
realized, but in a way which must be far
from satisfactory to the cold water advo
Gates
Enormous sums have been Paid out by
the state for fees and costs, and in nearly
every instance there has been a conviction
that is to say, half empty bottle of
whisky or beer has been condemned and
ordered spilled in the gutter, for which the
state has had to pay, on an average, 81 25

place is opened again and liquor is served
as usual The keepers of the places are sell

keeper-and it is convicted and condemned
and the state must pay the bill Thus a
combination of unscruplous officials are
enabled to grow rich by Matchmaking the
state. Saloons flourish in open de-
fance of the law, and the
state not only receives no revenue, but has to
pay out large sums to prosecute liquor
dealers. This is certainly scandalous stat,
of affairs. 1t is open theft committed in the
name of prohibition, and it is strange that
the people of Iowa endure if.
