PUBLIC OPINION.

EXPERIENCE WITH THE SUGAR DUTY
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Several points with reference to tn,
new arrangements of the sugar duties ar,
becoming evident. One, which rather
surpasses expectations, is the satisfaction
with which the provision for bounties OF
the domestic production of raw sugar i:
received.
The bounty proposition was at first
looked on askance by great many
Even the warmest protectionists were
afraid the public would not accept this
direct application of the principle OF
encouraging home industries; while the
Louisiana planters protested with all
their might against it. But with the
arrangement fairly under way it is be-
ginning to be seen that it is a good one
The sugar-producing industry has the
same protection as heretofore; but it is
accompanied with a cheapness that
greatly enlarges consumption so as to
improve their market The free trade
papers are trying to make much of the
fact that S10,000,000 will be paid in
bounties, but, as this is accompanied by
a saving to the people of over $60,000,-
900 on the total consumption in a year,
the effect will be futile.
Another very significant point is the
effect of the tariff reduction on the
combinations to control the price of
sugar. The air has been full recently
of agreements by which the attempt
was to be made to prevent the decline
in sugar from being commensurate to
the reduction of duties. Some such
combinations have undoubtedly been
attempted; but the Dispatch has always
pointed out that their power is confined
to the limited range of one-half cent
protection on refined sugar. A con-
vincing demonstration of this sort has
been made with regard to an agreement
between the Sugar Trust and the whole
sale grocers, by which the latter were to
get certain rebates, provided they bought
only of the trust. All of a sudden some
Boston house discovered that sugar
could be brought in from Germany
cheaper than they could sell under the
agreement with the trust. To stick to
the bargain meant to lose their trade,
and they consequently threw it over
board. 1t is said by trust organ that
the Sugar Trust threatens to boycott
every wholesale grocer who buys outside
the combination. AS the boycotted
grocers have the markets of the world
to draw upon, this would mean, if car
ried out, that the Sugar Trust would 60
out of business.
The full effect of the reduction in
duties has not yet been felt in the prices. |
The increased demand has drawn on
supplies so heavily that the 2@3 cent
reduction in duty has only yielded IL
cents reduction in the retail price.
When supply becomes equal to demand,
and the possibility of foreign sugar
makes itself felt, we may expect the
cheapening of this universal staple to
go still further.

In his speech before the Protective
Tariff League banquet in New York,
Wednesday night, the Hon. ]. F.
Hanson, of Georgia, said: "What is
true of the principle and effects of pro-
lection elsewhere is true of the South.
We are learning more of its value in
promoting that diversity through which
we have reached the most progressive
and prosperous stage of our history.
We are beginning to understand that
the iron interests of Alabama and
Pennsylvania and the cotton manufact-
uring of Georgia or Massachusetts must
stand or fall together, and, although
Southern protectionists are politically
voiceless now, the time is coming when
the South will realize that her destiny
is national instead of political, and
when she will defend and perpetuate
this doctrine" This is cheering news
to the iron and cotton manufacturing
States, which for years have been forced
to see competition growing constantly
in a section of the country that has
always voted against their interest, the
section thus warning upon their pros
perity in two ways. If these States will
vote as they compete their competition
will be forgiven.

COINAGE.
Exchange.

EXcnanSe.
A correspondent gives the following
details of coinage in the United States:
October 9, 1892, Congress authorized the
establishment of the Mint. Its first re-
turn to the Treasurer of the United
States was made October Is, 1894, in
dollars and half dollars. The first quar-
ter was issued in 1896. A few 20-cent
pieces were issued in 1874. but the coin-
age was abolished in 1873. The first
dimes of 10 cents were struck off in
France, from old silver family plates
furnished by George Washington. The
circulation was very limited. The regu-
lar issue OF half dimes commenced in
1896. Half dimes were first coined in
October, 1892, and continued at inter-
walls until 1906, then discontinued until
1928. The issue ceased in 1873. The
Scent nickel was authorized in 1866,
and has teen issued regularly to the
present time. In 1856 nickel Scent
pieces and small number of nickel
cents were coined. The 2-cent bronze
pieces were issued in 1864, and discon-
tinued In 1873 The bronze cents is
sued in 1864 have been coined annually

THE Democratic fight for the Speak
ership is already waxing hot. Congress
will not meet for over seven months yet,
and in the meantime the contest between
ex-"Premier" Mills and Mr. Crisp will
attain a height of temperature that can
hardly be realized so long in advance.
1t is Texas against Georgia, and each
contestant and the friends of each are
in it for all they are worth. 1t is not a
merry fight, since too much fiery South
ern blood is aroused. In fact, it is war
to the knife, which nobody can observe
with so much composure as the Repub-
licans, who have neither part nor lot in
it. That big Democratic majority in
the House brings much vexation of
spirit in its train.

THE EIGHT-HoUR MOVEMENT.

THE EIGHT-HoUR MOVEMENT.
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The strike for eight hours which be-
gan May 1st, all over the country, while
it starts an extensive conflict between
labor and capital, is not likely to be as
injurious in its effects upon business as
its magnitude might indicate.
The eight-hour movement as an or
ganized effort by federated trades unions
was begun as long ago as 1884, when
the Federation of Organized Trades and
Labor Unions at a meeting held in
Washington fixed May 1st, 1886, for the
beginning of general strike in enforce
ment of the demand. 1t was in con-
nection with that strike that the An
archist outbreak in Chicago took place,
eliminating in the Haymarket massacre,
and followed by the execution of the
This put an end to the movement for
the time, but in December, 1856, the
Am erican Federation of Labor was
formed at Columbus, O., and took up
the eight-hour movement. In accord
ance with the policy of the federation to
put forward selected trades to lead the
way, the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners struck May l, 1890,
and met with success at various points
This year the United Mine Workers
were to have taken the lead, but the
trouble in the Connellsville region
caused them to reconsider their plans,
and they will take no part in the eight
hour movement, so that the principal
part in it will now be borne by the
building trades.
Arrangements for the movement have |

EVERY patriotic American will be
glad to know of the launch at San
Francisco of the new armored coast
defender, Monterey. The Monterey is
fighter pure and simple. When fully
armed and equipped she will be able to
cope with any battleship that any
European power might send across the
ocean. Her low free board, her high
speed. heavy armor and magnificent
main battery of two twelve inch and
two ten inch modern rifles make her an
exceedingly powerful vessel for de-
fensive purposes. She will afford an
important protection to San Francisco.
1t was a felicitous occurrence that the
President should have been present at
the launching of the first armor clad of
our new navy and that the Monterey
should have been christened by Mrs.
Harrison herself.

DELAWARE has placed herself on
record against divorce scandals by pass
ing law prohibiting the courts from
granting divorces to residents where the
acts alleged as causes for the divorce
occurred in another State where such
grounds are not recognized. This will
prevent persons from other States from
taking up their residence in Delaware
for the purpose of procuring divorces.
Other States would do well to follow
this example.

A SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCE.

New York Press.
Sir John Macdonald and his Tory fol-
lowers have not been made happy by the
statement Of the London Graphic that
the successful negotiation of reciproc-
ity treaty between the United States
and Spain regarding Cuba "will go far
to strengthen the propaganda of the
annexationists in Canada and New
foundland." The Graphic declares that
sit is difficult to see what to do to stem
the movement, but an infallibly disrupt
i've outcome is plain enough" These
are frank words, and they tell the truth.
The common sense of Canadians must
teach them that it is far better for the
Dominion to share in the prosperity of
the great industrial nation that is be-
ginning to commercially annex Latin
America than to stay out in the cold
where she now is. And when this plain
fact once becomes fixed in the mind OF
Canada all the Queens ships and all the
Queens men couldn't keep her in the
empire and out Of the United States

NOT BROAD ENOUGH.

Cleveland World.
The Farmers Alliance as a political
factor in this country shows decided
signs of going to pieces.
1t never had any real foundation and
those who expected much of it were
certain to be disappointed.
1t was therefore only what was GER
tain to come that the Legislatures of
various Western and Southern States
should utterly fail to accomplish what
was promised before election.
They have not accomplished these
things because they could not be done.
In 1882 the anti Masonic party cut a
large figure in the Presidential cam
paign. William Writ, candidate for
President, received seven electoral votes
and carried one entire State.
1t seemed at one time that the idea
was likely to sweep the country from
end to end.
But those who were wiser knew that
it had no foundation as a constitutional
question, and it died natural and
early death.
In 1856 the American or Know Moth
ing party took the boards, making a
tremendous fight against foreigners. 1t
secured 874, ,534 popular votes and eight
electoral votes.
1t seemed likely to succeed in carry
ing everything, but became hiss and
a byword in less than two years.
The Greenback party started in 1876
with Peter Cooper and Sam Cary as
standard bearers, reached its highest
point in 1880, when James B. Weaver
secured 306.8S7 popular votes, and with
this year it died
The Farmers Alliance embodies some
of the heresies of Greenbackism. 1t
calls loudly for cheap money, and op-
poses the encroachments of corporations.
Now we are firm believers in the
importance and honesty of the agricul-
turalists of this country. We know that
they have grievances that should be
righted.
Our objection to the Farmers Alliance
movement comes from its efforts to OBJ
tain special rights and privileges, from
its demands for class legislation and
from the collection of narrow and selfish
demagogues of the Peffer and Simpson
sort who have pushed themselves to the
front and into fat positions through
making promises that are impossible of
being carried out.

A DROP OF HAY-WATER.

Mary V. WorstelI, in May St. Nicholas.
Let me tell you of some of the Won
derful things 1 have seen. Once 1 put
little hay in a tumbler, covered it
with water, and set the glass in warm
place for day or two. Then, with a
medicine dropper, I put a drop of the
water on glass slip, covered it with a
very thin glass wafer the size of cent,
placed it under my microscope, adjusted
the focus, and what sight met my
eyes. Dozens and dozens of what
looked like animated drops of jelly
were darting here and there, humping
against one another, or lodging one
another like school boys at recess.
Perhaps among the crowd of smaller
ones would dash much bigger fellow.
l fancied it might be big brother,
older than the others by some hours,
and so entitled to the Difference he
seemed to enact. Then, in another part
of the drop of water, the little ones
formed almost circle, and presently in
the center of this came big fellow-he
must have been at least one-hundredth
of an inch long-who began revolving
slowly. "P. T. Barnum," 1 thought to
myself. "That is exactly the way have
seen him address an audience surround
ing circus ring" But l can never
know what he told the small ones, for
not even the "little ghost of an inaudible
squeak" reached my ears. Besides these
little creatures, could see what looked
like dark specks darting above. Deter
mined to find out what these were, l
used stronger magnifying glass, and
looking through it the specks proved to
be other little swimmers such as 1 had
just been examining; and t1e latter, of
course, seemed larger. But now there
were still other specks darting about,
so a still stronger glass was used, with
the same result. Magnify as might, l
could not reach a point where there
were not some moving atoms needing
further magnifying. 1 have since
learned that no glass has ever been
made powerful enough to reveal the
tiniest of these ''infusoria"' as they are
called.

THE NEGRO IN NASHVILLE.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS FROM A CARE
FUL OBSERVER.

FUL OBSERVER.
The following, from an "Open Let
ter in The Century for May, is only
part of very gratifying report from C
F. Smith, of Vanderbilt University, OF
the Negro in Nashville:
Through the courtesy of a well-edu
Gated negro who works ardently fol
the welfare of his race, had the op
portunity, in company with friend, tc
inspect one day more than twenty of the
better class of homes. The list of
representative homes we were to see in.
cluded more than fifty; but the time
was too short. Most were taken by sur
prise, but willingly showed their houses
| from cellar to garret. The result may
be summed up as follows: The occupant
was the owner in every case but one. In
most parlors there were pianos and
handsome carpets on the floor, with 9TH
er furniture to match; indeed the hous-
es were generally carpeted throughout,
while bedrooms, dining rooms, and
kitchens were remarkably clean. no.
ted with pleasure several bathrooms,
and remarked how one thrifty pair had
so arranged their handsome base burner
stove that it heated comfortably the
whole house of four or five rooms at a
cost of only few cents day. 1t was
interesting to learn that in most cases
where the heads of families were young
they had been educated at one of the
negro colleges in the city; where old,
that the children had attended these.
Let one example stand for all. A
is the janitor of one of the banks of the
city. BY working hard at the bank, while
his wife worked and saved at home, he
has graduated one son and two daugh-
ters at Fisk University, the fourth and
last child being now there His son, at
first teacher, is now in the service of
the Pullman Company; one daughter is
married, the other is a teacher. His
house is comfortably furnished, and his.
lot extends one hundred feet on a very
respectable street in the heart of the
city.
Just two or three remarks at the close
am quite sure that more comfortable
and well-kept homes could not be found
anywhere among the same number of
whites of the same income, and the
owners of these homes have the same
interest in good government, peace,
good morals, the we'll l-being of society,
as the better class of whites have. These
well-kept homes are not only the best
proof of the progress in civilization of
the negro race, but they are also the
best security for the welfare of the
whites in property and in morals, and
have never had so much hope for the
future of this region as since l learned
these things. Granted that these may
be the picked few, it is most hopeful
that there is picked few, whose exam
pie will inspire others to lift themselves
up. Finally, an interesting fact which
1 have not found place for elsewhere
one of the daily papers of Nashville re-
ports circulation among the negroes of
the city of more than eighteen hundred
COPIES.
