THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

correspondent from Niles thinks the
two cents pound duty on sugar should be
divided between the beet-grower and the
beet-sugar factories. In that we agree with
our correspondent. The question is, How
shall the div iSion be made? 1t might for
obvious reasons be found impracticable to
offer bounty for sugar beets. BeetS pros
duced in localities where there was no fac
tory and in quantities too small to warrant
the erection of a factory would have no
value TO the Government. The object OF
the bounty is TO encourage the production
OF sugar. not of beets apart from the beet
sugar industry. Consequently the Govern
ment offers bounty for sugar, leaving the
pro rata of division to the joint producers of
sugar. The assumption is that the facto-
rles, in order to secure sure and steady
supply of beetS, will offer prices that could
not be afforded if there was no bounty Oh
sugar. Our Niles correspondent has not
shown that this assumption is not justified
by results. Would factories give present
prices for beets il they did not have tho
bounty III addition to the market value of
the sugar? 1t should be remembered that
the sugar bounty only places producers of
sugar in the position in respect to foreign
competitors they were in when there was a
two-cent tariff on foreign sugar. The i'm
ported article being relieved of a two cents
pound tax, might be sold in our market at
reduction of two cents pound on former
prices The bounty substantially compen-
safes sugar producers for the loss of protec-
ton through the admission OF sugar free.

SHERMAN AND FORAKER.

Senator Sherman has taken dignified
stand in respect to Foraker as Republican
competitor He admits that Foraker has as
clear and unQuestioned right to aspire to
the Senate as himself, and assumes that
Foraker is no more disposed than himself to
enter scramble for the votes of the Repub-
lican members. But Mr.. Sherman adds that
if he should be reelected he will accept the
trust and perform the duties of the Office to
the best of his ability. Ohio Republicans
will hardly forget that at the present time
their State enjoys the honor of giving the
Senate its leader. No other man ON either
side possesses the qualities which go to make
great Senator in the same degree as John
Sherman. To a high order of natural abil-
ity he adds experience that no other Senator
has had the opportunity to acquire. He
was the associate of the great Senators who,
after the close of the war, matured meas
ures of reconstruction and national rehab-
ilitatiop. He was Secretary of the Treasury
during the entire period between the passage
of the Redemption Act and the date of its en-
forcement. AT the close of Grants second
administration he returned to the Senate,
bringing to the service of that body the vast
stores Of knowledge he had acquired in an
other department of the Government.
Foraker is smart, he can make a ringing
stump speech, but his election as Sherman's
successor would little mora than emphasize
the fact of a vacancy

A CHANCE FOR WORK.

Mr.. Jabez J. Swan of the State Board of
Equalization writes 10 a contemporary:
1--WE showed your County Board instance
after instance of bad assessment and called
upon them TO go over the assessment-roll.
We did not say that we were going TO in
crease the roll, but simply asked that your
Assessors work might be equalized, so that
the small property-h0lder might not pay
more than his proportion of the taxes"
Taxpayers will readily perceive that there
is wide difference between increasing the
roll and equalizing assessments composing
II. Complaint is often made that real prop
erty is not assessed equally. The Assessors
work in a rut At some time the owner of a
large property has obtained low assess
ment and succeeding Assessors have found
1t difficult to raise it. 1t has also been posi-
BILE to trace connection between the am
paign contributions OF large properiy-hold-
ers and low assessment. 1t has also been
openly charged in times past that Assessors
consented to low estimates for a considera-
ton. There Is probably a chance for good
Work IN the direction Mr.. Swan has pointed
ont That the aggregate of assessment is
high enough will be admitted, but this az
gregate may not have been obtained in the
best possible way. AS rule small prop
erty-holders are rated higher in proportion
than large ones, on the assumption that a
small piece of real estate will. upon pinch.
sell at nearer its market value than a large
property. But the rule should be to fix A
value for small property at the rate large
one would sell at. The small property
holder is the one 10 be considered, either in

The Examiner reluctantly admits that I" it

valued as coming from an expert Its efforts
in this direction extend over about three
months. 1t has copied about everything
that has appeared i'll Eastern papers going
TO show that Blaine was in bad way, with
an occasional special interview purpOrting
to be from it's own correspondent. Not
much of anything of a hopeful character
found its way into that paper until last
Sunday, when the conclusion was reached
that it was hard TO kill Blaine, and that the
attempt might as well be abandoned.

GOLD AT a PREMIUM,

A New York dispatch says that Willard
fears that the country will go off gold
basis, in which case gold would go to a
premium. He is especially apprehensiye of
this result as many of the bonds of the
Northern Pacific are payable in gold. In
this respect the Northern Pacific would be
in the condition of many other debtors.
Precisely to what extent bonds, mortgages
and notes of hand have been made payable
IN gold in the last few years is not known,
but there is reason to believe that money
lenders have often made gold payment a
condition of loans. There is no real danger
of a silver standard resulting from our pres
ent silver policy. bat free silver coinage
would bring it about in short order.
