SUGAR is much cheaper now tnah Ii
Was before the tariff on it was reduced.
Protectionists admit that the reouctlon
of nrice ia due to the reduction OF the
tariff. This is the democratic doctrlne'
Tho only thing in the line of free trace
attempted in the Mckinley law was the
reduction of the tariff on sugar. Inc re-
suIt was exactly what free traders lnslst
will follow tariff reduction. Ii Is
natural law of commerce and Should
need no demonstration to establish its
truth. Those who cannot accept gen.
oral truth can reason from the particular
fact that sugar is cheaper under low
tax than under heavy tax.
It is difficult to fully realize the au-
dacity of protectionists in claiming Tor
their policy results which accrue from an
abandonment OF that policy, as IN the
case of sugar. Certainly there is diff
ference between reduction and increase
of tariff. To claim for the latter what
was the direct fruit of the former is to
presume a great deal on the ignorance
of the people addressed. How can an
argument in favor of high protection be
gathered from benefcent results flowing
from a removal of that protection? Re-
publicans are dishonest in claiming for
the general policy of the Mckinley law
the good results following the abandon.
ment of that policy in single instance.
The reduction in the tax of sugar is g
| dishonest one, as what the consumer
saves IN sugar he loses on other articles
on which the taxes have been increased
| He loses more. Tor the reason that ht
pays bounty which goes direct from thu
government to the sugar producer. Th;
tax which he paid before directly to tn
dealer from whom he purchased his sugar
is now collected from him through var
ious articles purchased, and paid direct
ly by the government to the sugar pro
Queer. So that the reduction made b.
| the Mckinley law on the sugar tax is
bogus one Sugar is no more a stapl
than wheat is and The sugar produce
should not be benefited at the expense O

GETTING INTO A HAMMOCK.
Funny for the OnIookers, but No Fun for
the Fat Man.

1t was in q back yard on Carroll
street, Brooklyn, and the hour was
shutdown, says Nj. Quad in the Eceni,ag
World.
A hammock was suspended between
two posts.
Such birds as they have in Brooklyn
were singing their sweetest songs pre-
paratory TO seeking their gentle roosts.
and the yellow faces of the big sun
flowers carried grins of pleasure as a
fat man, smoking a cigar, made his
appearance.
He had come out to lie in the ham,
mock and commune with nature as
she sent the sun to rest and babe the
banana peddlers cease their racket.
He proceeded to business by backing
up to the hammock. Selling it with
both hands behind him, and drawing
it under him.
He sat down on the ground. He
wouldn't believe it was the ground at
first. but after feeling all around he
finally became convinced and got up.
Something was said about locality
way. way off. which had no railroad or
steamboat connection, but his words
were not addressed TO any one in par
ticnlar.
This time he sidlcd up TO the ham,
mock and held it so as to roll ia on his
right side. His motives were entirely
honorable, but there's Il heap of differ
ence between running coal yard and
getting into Il hammock. He didn't
roll in. For some unexplained reason
the machinery skipped IL cog just then.
and he woke up on the broad side of
his back with the hammock swinging
over him.
This time he delivered quite a
lengthy address on Halifax and Texas
how to get there-manners and Gus
toms-cost of living, etc. He appeared
to be considerably discouraged, but
after awhile he braccd up for another
effort. He spread his arms right and
left. got firm hold of the hammock.
and then hoped frisky little hop
with the firm intention of landing
somewhere.
He landed. His head hit the ground
first, and then. by a sort of graduated
scale. the rest of his body came down
till his heels got there and Jared the
earth for thirty feet around. He was
very quiet for 4 couple of minutes.
The two or three cats looking over the
fence couldn't be sure whether he was
dead or quietly enjoying good thing.
BY and by a whoop broke the still
ness of evening. 1t came from the fat
man. Then the earth trembled. 1t
was the fat man getting up. There
was long-handled shovel resting
peacefully against the fence, and he
rushed for it and brought it down
''kerswat!" on the hammock then
turned and fetched the fence an awful
"kerthump!-and then knocked the
whole face off big sunllower, and
when he had finished and disappeared
into the house those who Looked down
into the back yard turned pale and
whispered TO each other that the end
was not yet.

The policy of driving or attempting
to drive democrats out of the party be-
cause they may be personally objection
able to those who want the entire direc-
ton of affairs, is very unwise one. Those
whom it is thought desirable to GUST. not
IN the interests of harmony but in a
factional spirit, have not imbibed demo-
cracy from the teachings of those who
now profess to be the source of demo-
cratic principles. They cannot be driven
from the party as their allegiance t. it
is based upon principle and not upon the
prospects ofinvltation to the festal board
Acting wholly in political matters on
their ideas of right and wrong, they cam
not be relied upon to aid in prostituting
party that profit may result to few in
dividuals. They are not in harmony
with those who regard party organiza-
ton an instrument of personal ad-
vancement. They have no interest in
any sqnabbles arising from unequal distri-
button of spoils or war of determination
designed to reduce the number of the
benehciarles of future party success.
These contests are for business and those
engaged In them are in politics for bust
ness. Democrats are not to be driven
from the party because they invoke a
plague on both the houses" of pillage
seekers.

ONE of the questi ons raised by The
Sentinel in relation to the certification
of teachers is whether those teachers en-
ployed to teach German in public schools
must hold certificates or their equiva-
lent. The law unquestionably affects
them as it does other teacheas. District
school officers are personally liable for
every cent paid out to teachers not legal
" qualified. 1t is doubtful whether
there is city in the state which re-
qulres re-examination of a teacher after
a good certificate has been secured, il
the schools are under what is called the
city system. Manitowoc teachers have
always deemed tia hardship to be re-
examined but they always submitted to
it. Here we have no city system and all
were treated alike.

1T is much to be hoped that the words
attributed to archbishop Walsh in his
reference to the death of Parnell were
not uttered by that prelate The lack
of christian charity which will prompt
clergyman TO follow a man TO his grave
with bitter denunciation is something
terrible in its malignity. The dead lead
er's dying message of love to the Irish
people forms striking contrast with the
vindictive statement that his death is a
Judgment of God. No person capable
of feeling, ssympathy for the bereayed
mother whose reason is tottering because
of the loss of son. can believe that a
high prelate of the church could refer TO
Parnell as having died plotting fresh
discord, while the champion or tool of a
faction, stepped in traitorism to the very
lips" 1t is language which should not
be employed of the dead no matter what
the proyocation.

Those who are finding fault with Supt.
Wells for ruling that diplomas must be
countersigned by him before having the
validity of certificates are simply kick
ing against the law, He has no power
to change it. He might connive at its
disregard, indeed connivance Is hardly
necessary as reports to him by city and
county superintendent form the basis
of his action in apportioning state aid to
public schools. Ii he chooses to go be-
hind the returns" he must act in accord
ance with the facts as he finds them.

THE La Crosse Chronicle makes a
pretty point against The Pilot by asking
if the editor expects to escape the sweep
ing statement that every editor in the
state would do what the state treasurers
did with interest on the state funds, had
they the opportunity, by the admission
thot "he's no editor" Indeed he doesn't.
He'd pocket that interest, acknowledge
he had done so and ask what are you
going to do about it," SO would every

THE tendency of the local weekly pa
abolition of the editorial page and con-
filming itself wholly to local news. The
wisdom of this course may well be ques-
toned. Ii the paper is an educator it
should not leave the field of editorial
comment wholly to the metropolitan
journal. After all the reputation of a
paper depends as much on what it has to
say editorially as upon the news it gives.
