Puck of August Goth contains mem
oriol cartoon, by Joseph Keppler, on the
death of the late James Russell Lowell.
Puck never lets an opportunity like this
pass without adding its tribute TO the
memory ofour distinguished public men
The Arena for September is as usual
fully abreast with the advanced thought
of the times. The paper which will
probably attract most attention, owing
to its timely appearance, is "Fashion's
Slaves" profusely illustrated contribu-
ton on woman's dress reform, by the
editor. We do not know whether or
not Mr.. Flower has been Informed of the
proposed inauguration of the dress re-
form movement at ChautauQua, which
has attracted such general notice by
virtue of the radical position taken by
its leaders and the encouragement given
the move by such leading women as
Miss Frances E. Willard and Mrs.
Frances E. Russell, but be certainly
scores another palpable hit in the timely
appearance of his paper.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1891.

The Anglo-SaxonAmerican sets up the
claim for himself that he is the highest
type of mankind; and, that in the mat
ter of perceptive faculties, reasoning
powers, etc., etc., he removes the dilapi-
dated linen from the shrubbery. Well,
we will admit that he is great in all
things pertaining to progress and he can
and does work wonders every day. But
with all his intelligence there is one SUBJ
ject whict rattles him every time he
tackles 1.-THE NEGRO Problem" The
reason for this is because he never goes
at it in the right way. He is never fair
square and honest in his dealings with
it. He deals with the Afro-American
as though he were an alien, foreigner,
entirely different from himself in aims
and aspirations. He sugg, SITS plans for
100000 native born Afro.Americans as
though they were only so many hun
dreds of foreigners. He never tries to
hit upon some plan to have these broth
ers of his enjoy all the blessings and
privileges which he feels necessary to
his existence, but cudgels his brain to
find something less to offer. Brother
Ang'o'saxon- Americans, when you cone
to the conclusion that you are entitled
to nothing which is too good for your
Afro-American brothers to share equally
with you, then you will have made the
first step toward solving the vexed prob
lem. All the trouble is raised by you
Your black brother never refuses to
share the best he has with you. You
might learn lesson from him. He is
always glad to have you meet him on
the common level of mankind. You al
ways kick up the rows. You enslaved
him and brought him to this country,
then you found after couple of CEN
turies that it would not do to keep him
a slave any longer so you sacrificed
many thousands of your lives and a
pretty fair spinkling of his in your
efforts to wipe out slavery. No longer a
slave he became a citizen and entitled to
enjoy all things vouchsafed to citizen
of the United States by the bill of rights
and the Constitution. Then why do you
waste time and talents trying to deprive
him of those things which you prize
highest and which he does too. Would
you be satisfied with what you offer him
in exchange Tor what you now possess? !
Then, rest assured he will not. What
ever is good for you is good for him;
whatever is bad for you is bad for him.
He was born here there are scarcely
score of native born Africans in Amer

SUGAR AND THE MCKINLEY TARIFF

Fl SUGAR AND THE MCKINLEY TARIFF.
Tariff reform shouters in the last Con.
gress went on record as opposed to put
ting sugar on the free list. With Gus
tomary Inconsistency one half OF their
speeches were devoted to denunciation
of tariff protection as scheme to ad-
vance the price of articles to consumers,
while as many more were in opposition
to the removal of the tariff on sugar for
the alleged reason that consumers would
not get any benefit therefrom.
How does all this correspond with the
facts as subsequently developed? Has
anything occurred to add lustre to the
fame ofthose gentlemen as political seers
or to invite tolerance of their further
claims to dictate the economic policy of
the country? They insisted that prices
would not come down but prices have
been so materially reduced that granu-
lated sugar has been advertised to retail
in Chicago at three and half cents per
pound. They further insisted that en-
couragement by bounty would not in
crease domestic manufacture of sugar;
but reliable statistics forthcoming in
less than three months after the law
took effect show that the output of cane
sugar will be augmented as rapidly as
time and money can develop it, while
an acreage Of Western far1n lands never
before approached in extent insures for
the sugar beet a prominence in future
agriculture the significance of which is
beyond estimation
Another important feature of the sugar
schedule of the Mckinley law, Tor the
repeal Of which the party espousine
tariff reform hastens to re-pledge itsel
on every occasion, is the provisional
clause for reciprocity of trade with for.
eign nations. Under pressure of the
power thus placed in the hands of the
national executive, barriers against the
admission of products of this country tc
South America and West Indian mar.
kets have already been lowered, while
negotiations now we'll advanced promise
at an early day to give American hog
products free access to the markets oil
Germany and France along the beef
sugar route.
These are some OF the facts that free.
trade attorneys find it convenient to
ignore while drumming for recruits 70,
a general crusade against the existing
tariff law. They have no words of con.
graduation over the probability that
some portion of the more than SO 900 600
last year paid to foreigners for sugar
may hereafter be kept within reach OF
the farmers who grow beets and cane,
and the workers who make sugar, how
ever much these may need such addition
to their resources. Their anxiety rather
goes out toward the Spanish dons and
European landlords whose fields sup
piled the material, and the owners of
steamships that transported the two
billion pounds of foreign sugar last year
sold in the United States. ...~
Such attitude appeals neither to the
sound business sense nor the patriotism
of voters; and until these characteristics
cease to dominate American legislation
selfstyled PERFORMERS" are likely to
work in vain for the advent of that free
trade millennium toward which their
political vision has been so long directed.
