The latest estimate of the amount to be
paid, under the Mckinley bill, to the sugar
makers OF his country is twenty, instead
OF the len, million dollars appropriated by
Congress for that purpose. 1t may be that
some man can tell why the cane, beet and
maple sugar makers should be specially se-
lected by the government from among all
the other people of the country as favor
ed class, to whom twenty million dollars
out of the public treasury should be given;
but if so, he has not yet done it-that is,
satisfactorily to those who are taxed to
raise the sum referred to. Certainly sugar
makers are no more deserving of govern
mental support than four and meal makers,
or people engaged in any other sort of in
dustry, and yet the latter, 30 far from re-
ceiviug any such support, are taxed to raise
money to be given to the former.-Alex.

When to Stop Advertising.

An exchange says that an English trade jour-
mai once requested a number of its largest adj
vertisers to give their opinions concerning the
best time to stop advertising, and the following
replies were received:
When population ceases to multiply and
the generations that crowd on after you, and
never heard of you. stop coming on.'
when you have convinced everybody whose
life will touch yours that you have better
goods and lower prices than they can ever get
any where else."
when you perceive it to be the rule that
men who never advertise are outstripplng their
neighbors in the same zine of business"
when men stop making fortunes right in
your very sight solely through the discreet use
of this mighty god"
"Where you can get the words OF the shrewd-
est and most successful business men concern
ing the main cause Of their prosperity"
when every man has become SO thoroughly
creature of habit that he will certainly buy
this year where he bought last year."
when younger and fresher houses in your
line cease starting up and using the newspa-
pers in telling the people how much better they
can do for them than you CAM
when you would rather have your way and
fall than take advice and win."
"When nobody elsa thinks It's pays to ad.
vertise."

Public Highways.

The Importance of having good public
highways is felt not in a few States only,
but in all of them, and it has been the oc-
CASTOR Of much discussion as to the best
means of accomplishing that desirable re-
suit.
The following from the Jefferson City
(MissourD "Tribune'' shows what is
thought of it in that great Westera State:
'The question of Substantial public high
ways is exciting interest in every part of
the State, and this will be one of the chief
matters of discussion at the numerous
farmers meetings which have bseu arrang-
cd By the State Board Of Agriculture. Oae
thing should not be overlooked. and that is
the strict limit of the power of county courts
to levy taxes for road purposes. The consti-
tuition fixes 10 cents on the 800 valuation
as maximum amount that can be levied,
and it will not be disputed that in majori-
ty of counties in the State the levy is insult
fioient. Twice the legislature has submit
ted an amendment to the constitution
authorizing county courts to increase the
levy to ID cents on the 800 in counties
where the same is deemed necessary, but
each time the amendment was defeated,
and principally by the vote from the agri-
cultural part of the State.
Good roads cost money, and but very lit
tie improvement need be expected until
county courts have the power to increase
the general levy. In some counties the
people have constructed roads by private
subscriptions, but this is an unsatisfactory
method, as many will not pay unless they
are compelled to do so.
Farmers reap more benefits from good
roads than any other class of citizens. No
one wants farm in an inaccessible locali-
ty, while one near good road is always
desirable. 1t is very important that this
matter should be made the leading feature
of the farmers institutes. 1t is more i'm
portant than experimental farming, which,
under the most favorable circumstances,
frequently proves costly disappointment.
All the farmers know that corn, wheat,
oats, hay land cotton in some localities)
constitute the chief products of Missouri
soil, and the farmer who does not under
stand the culture and care thereof had bet
ter quit farming. But good public roads
are very scarce in the State, and the sub
ject of securing the same is of sufficient
importance to demand the serious attention
of every farmer in Missouri"

people, and to the peopleit appeals to stand
by it in its stardy warfare against all the
monopolies and enemies, which first deceive
and then prey upon them.
Remember the forcs bill, remember the
billion dollar congress, remember the de-
struction of free speech in the house, re-
member the demonstration of silver and
contraction of the currency, remember the
land grant steal, remember the subsidies
aud bounties to the favored few, remember
Mahoneism and all its frightful and disas-
trous consequences to our state aud people,

Senator Faulkner, talking about his re-
cent trip to the Pacific slope, said: "On
the silver question the people of the West
are divided 10 opinion, as we Of the East,
but they all agree on the tsriff question.
The democrats all over the country are of
one mind on this, and therefore 1t is the
national issue" This is the Mills idea,
and is thought to be the correct one by all
the wiser leaders of the democratic party.
Free silver coinage would not put single
additional silver dollar in the pocket of any
man unless he be the owner of silver mine
or an importer of foreign silver, but re-
dnction in the tariff on the necessaries of
life would keep many such dollars in the
pocket of every working man.-Alexaudria

Rights Of Man and the Liquor Traffic.


Bishop John J.Keane, rector of the Cath
Ollie University at Washington, lectured
last Sunday night at Harris's Academy of
Music in Baltimore on "The Rights of
Man." The lecture was given for the
benefit of St. Luke's Catholic Church at
Sparrow's Point, and was very largely at
tended.
Bishop Keanc, says the Baltimore Sun,
spoke with all the fra, vigor aad elcquence
for which he is lannon's, and held the strict
attention of his hearers. The lecture
sought to show that Christ and Christiani'
ty are necessary for the attainment OF
mans political. social and religious rights.
To illustrate this thu. bishop draw two pow
erful and vivid pictures, the one showing
that while the French Declaration of
Rights. formulated 1889, was identical
in most respects with our own Declaration
of Independence, the English Bill of Rights
and the Magma Charta, yet for the want of
the influence of Christianity it failed mis-
erably. The second picture showed that
this influence lacking in the CASE of France
was all powerful in America, aud resulted
in the successful establishment of the
American nation.
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC..
sBishop Keane closed his address with
an eloquent condemnation of the liquor
traffic. "This demon says to each of our
political parties" he concluded, "Behold
power and peace and emolument in my
hands, all these will I give you if falling
down you worship me. What are our poll
tical parties gong to answer? This power
cares not for the rights Of parents, wives,
children of nature. ofcountry or of church
all it wants is the money. Well do our
political parties know the power which now
claims to dictate the course of politics, and
thus to shape the destinies of the nation.
Will the parties spurn the tempter and
scorn his alliance, or will they barter prin.
cipls for patronage? AS an honest man,
loving my country and loving humanity. l
say, if any party, no matter what shade of
American politics it may represent, do the
shameful and guilty deed Of selling cut to
King Rum, then may that party sink under
the scorn of the condemnation of every true
American, out of sight forever"
