PAYS FOR HIS SUGAR.

The supporters of the MCKINLEY sys-
TEN invariably name free sugar as the
first and most benefcent provision of
the high tariff. From protective stand
point this seems good deal of bur-
lesque, as that provision is unqualified
free trade. 1t is an entire abandonment
of their dogma to that extent. 1t swept
away all the tariff guards for the pro-
motion of a struggling home industry.
not exactly infantile. but one that was
but partially developed. The removal
of the duty furnished a palpabIe and
conclusive illustration of the validity of
the claim that the consumer pays the
duty, so generally denied by the pro-
tectionists. In recent article in
the st. Louis Republic, Congress
man WILSON, of West Virginia,
terms this removal of the duty
on sugar and It's consequent cheap
ening as the nubbin the boy holds out
to the begniled horse. The public Is to
be caught with free sugar and made to
carry with grateful dOcility new bur-
dens. There is a release from one
large weight and an imposition of
smaller ones vastly outweighing it.
There is first the bounty to be paid to
the sugar men in Louisiana and Yer
mont. This is estimated by the COM
missioner of internal revenue at SILL
$4,000 the present year. 1t is likely to
be much larger, and will grow to vast
proportions in the fourteen years for
which it is provided. This is new ex-
penditure of the peoples money, if not
precisely new tax. Mr.. WILSON, who
is recognized as one of the most relia-
bic authorities on tariff matters, esti-
mates the increased cost of some of
the classes of articles in common use by
virtue of the MCKINLEY act that cut off
S5O,00O,0OO of sugar duty IN this way:
''Iu the metal schedule, on articles
made of iron and steel which are among
the common neceSSaries of life, and the
tools and materials with which so MANY
make their living, an increase of S1O,-
000,0 900. In the wooden schedule, on the
indispensable clothing of the people,
especially on the dress goods of our
women and children, an increase of SI5,-
100000. In the cotton schedule. on
OlllCl nCOCSodtl dl IlClCS vi CIOlu-
ing and comfort, an increase of
s2,000,00O. In the fax and linen
schedule, on articles of the same kind,
an increase of $4,000, 900. On tin plate,
an article of eommonest use. and the
material of many industries and handi-
! crafts, an increase OF S9,0OO,O OO On
block tin, new tax of nearly 81, 500, 900.
On cotton ties-a narrow ebullition of
sectiOnaliSm an increased tax of about
S750,000, and so on through other sched-
ules, such as pottery and the like"
These figures comprise merely the
addition to the revenue of the govern
ment on these manufactures, computed
from the impOrtatiOns of the past year.
| They will prove but fraction, how
ever, of the increased cost to the con-
sumers of these essentials of common
life. The object of the duty is 10 afford
a bounty in an indirect way to the home
manufacturers. This is obtained by the
increase of their prices to correspond
with the added cost OF the importations.
That is. the consumer of the cheapened
sugar pays for it three or four times in

ROLE OF THE FARMER.

In most OF the larger commercial cen
tiers there has been rather an excess of
quietude this season. People have been
hopefully, but with the nervousness
that always watches the growing food
elements before harvest, waiting for the
realization of the unusual promise. In
the more sOutherly sections the grain
has ripened, and the fruitiOn Of hopes
has made glad hearts. In the ripening
grain fields of the new Northwest this
experience seems well past the chances
of disaster, and the music of the reaper
is beginning to be heard. As society
and the human constitution are now
operated. the men who grow things to
eat are in strong at the foundations.
The farmer and the stock raiser
are the centerS OF interest Let
them go out of business for a
season, and the world might as well stop
turning on its axis. About all the pros
perity of the country comes out of the
soil. Let the crops fail. and the farmers
are by no means the only sufferers. The
railroads have no profitable business,
the merchant may as well shut up an d
20 fishing. Stagnatlon throws its pail
over all the business centers and inter
ests. If the farmer is unfortunate and
burdened, only the birds of prey that
revel i'll the flesh of others see much
brightness to material affairs. 1t is for
the interest of railroads. corporations,
lawmakers and business men generally.
to tighten the agricultural burdens and
make matters as prosperous as possible
on the farm.
