We feel sorry for our democratic
contemporary, he, like his party, is
in a pitaible state when he attempts
to say anything about sugar, because
the vote in the Congressional record
shows that the Democratic Congress
men voted solid against removing the
tariff from sugar, and therefore prov
ed that they we're in favor of taxing
the people of the United States $50,
600, 900 year. Is this the principle
of Democratic tariff (O reformG The
reason the removal of the duty on
sugar reduces the price, is that Amer
lea only produces small per cent of
the sugar used and the tariff then be-
comes a tax because it must come from
foreign countries and pay duty in our
custom houses. Necessaries produced
or grown here pay no duty because
they DO not come from a foreign
country and the price is regulated by

duoe.
''The tariff of 1916 is spoken of as
bringing good times. The good times
were not the results OF the tariff, but
the gold fever and other causes. At
the end of fifteen years of that free
trade. the government had to ask the
State 10 indorse its bonds, and sell
them at IL per cent. discount. To-day
mt the end of thirty years of protec-

for it. The fact that it is owned and

ore great CRY of the free traders
has been to reiterate the axiom pro-

err of the Mills tariff bill, that "You
can't cell unless you buy" They
claimed that protective tariff shuts
of the United States from the mar
kets of the world. In his Providence
speech Major Mckinley answered this
conclusively by giving facts and fig
ures. He said:
I'VE sold abroad last year 800. 600, :
600 more than we bought. In the last
fifteen years of revenue tariff, from
1876 to 1861, the balance of trade
against us was s479. 100000. From
1876 to 1891 the balance in our favor
was 50, 600. 600. 900, which we kept at

THE money class is always in the
position to guard itself against the
bad effects of disturbing financial leg
islation, and even to profit by II at
the expense of the poorer class. A
competent authority upon the subject
of farm mortgages declares that
ninety per cent. of them are negotia-
ted by systematic lenders, banks, and
corporations organized for this express
purpose, and that it has been the GUS
tom of many of these lenders to make
the mortgage debt, both principal and
interest, payable in gold. 1t Is believ-
ed that fully one.half of all the mort
gage indebtedness Of the country is in
terms expressly payable in gold,
though this is more generally the case
in urban than in farm loans. If We
were to have free silver coinage. and
the country were to reach the silver
standard, and gold were to rise to one
hundard and twenty or Whereabouts,
mortgages who are counting upon
having their debts reduced by the
change would soon discover their err
ror. They find that they would have
to pay one hundred and twenty dol
lars in silver for every instalment OF
one hunderd dollars interest in gold.
In others words. they, and not the
capitalists and money-lenders, would
be the losers from this as from every
other form of "cheap money. THE
