sugar people will judge:
Our Republican friends seem to
be very much exercised for fear the
Democrats, when they come into
power, will not do away with the
sugar bounty. The Republicans
threw that sop tosthe South hoping
to catch votes thereby. Now they
are demanding of the Democrats to
undo thei, folly. About the first
thing the Democrats will do will be
to repeal the duty on refined sugars
and knock that grand Republican
sugar trust sky high. That will
give the people relief from the out.
