mny surrender to the Sugar Trust, but the
worlds FAIR City will not be bulldozed
worth cent At least that was the purport
OF the decision reached at meeting OF all
tne large wholesale grocers In this city. Tho
meeting was held on the request of Mr.. ".
+. Osborn. the New York representative of
the American Sugar Trust. The plan pro-
posed by Mr.. Osborn was the one known as
the equality and rebate plnn,' and after
half-hour's deliberation it was unanimously
rejected. The plain English of the attitude
OF Chicago's wholesale grocers Is that they
do not intend to be dictated to by the Sugar
trust as to how and when they shall sell
their sugar. If they want to buy sugar for
cents and sell for cents it is their busi-

New York last June. and would have been
adopted had it not been for the motive oppo-
sttion OF Chicago supplemented by nearly
all the leading houses Milwaukee De-
troit, indianapolis, Kansas City and st.
Joseph. St. Louis and n few other Southern
points were in favor of it, but it was tenn
porarily shelved. The meeting had no
sooner adjourned than sly work was begun
by the Trust and its friends to work the op-
position over to the scheme, and O few
weeks ago very ingenious circular was
sent out confidentially to the wholesale
grocers. 1t is ingenious because it seeks to
evade the trust law of Missouri by claiming
1t would promote competition. and Mt the
same time IL contains the outline of u plan
that would totally destroy all competition
and put the sugar trade entirely in the
hands of the Trust with power to dictate
price and limit the output"

1t simply amounts to persistent mis-
representation. The 'wages paid per ton
for converting iron into steel rails" Is
not much more justly the labor cost of the
product than the sewing of the buttons on
a coat represents its entire labor cost
The compilation of all labor necessary to
produce ton of steel rails has never been
completely made, because 1t cannot De.
But the Republican Commissioner of
Labor" to whom the Times refers, had
made an approach to it, stating the total
labor cost at S24 81 per ton. The differ
ence in wages in the iron and steel indus
tries between our country and Europe is
fully fifty per cent of our standard,
which makes the duty of $13 A per ton
on steel rails very near the labor cost.
This is, therefore, simply misrepresen-
tation by resorting to the old trick of bal
ancing the wages in a final process of
manufacture against the: entire duty.
A specimen of free trade logic,
however, is presented by the
Times assertion "that q duty which
exceeds the entire value or selling
price of an imported product must exceed
the labor cost of that product" Most as
suredly; but it need not exceed the labor
cost of the similar domestic product.
Thus let us imagine an article manufact-
ured, say in Italy,at a labor cost of S. and
invoiced at 81 for importation. The labor
cost here may be $12, and duty of 100
per cent on the valuation will no more
than cover the difference in wages. Will
the Times commit itself to the assertion
that there are no such cases?

A PERTINENT EXAMPLE.

The Midland puddlers have Just sub
mitted to reduction of wages which
makes the price Of pudding 81 81 per ton.
When the Plttsburg puddIers were asked
to take a reduction to S. 90 per ton the
free trade press resounded with the claim
that this was an Illustration of the Nc
Kinley tariff policy.
1t is, when compared with English
wages. We have in this case an example
of the fact that under protection the wages
of these iron workers are 175 per cent
greater than those of the competing iron
workers in the English Midlands. The
difference in price of product and the per-
centage of tariff protection is not so great;
but when we imagine all the labor cost
entering into Ton of finished iron rated
at that proportion we can gain an idea of
the purpose of protection.
Those who wish TO see American wages
cut down to the extent represented by the
proportion of 81 81 to S5, will do well to
vote for the Calhoun Democracy.

THE CONTRIBUTION RooRHACK.

The favorite Democratic pastime this
year is to credit certain millionaires with
pouring immense sums of money into the
Golfers of the Republican campaign COM
mIttee. The New York World has been
busy at this sort of thing with an energy
that is more prominent than Its veracity.
First it quoted The DISPATCH as stating
that an immense sum had been sent out
from Pittsburg to the Republican Ma
tional Committee. THE DISPATCH hav-
ing remarked that it has said nothing of
the sort, Mr. Frick S recent trip to New Y ork
was made the basis for an invention to the
effect that he dumped some hundreds of
thousands into the political receptacle.
This story being denied the World
promptly produces the Manufacturers
Club, of Philadelphia, in the light of turn
ing in the neat sum of S2,OO0,0 600, which
was in turn promptly exploded. g..
The characteristic of the Worlds roor-
backs is the energy with which when one
story is proven to be false it inserts an
other with an increased amount. If it
keeps on we may yet hope to hear from 1t
that those eminent plutocrats Payne,
Camden, Havemeyer, Brice and Benedict
have turned in s1O,0Oo,OOO or s15, 600, 900 to
purchase victory for the Republicans.

A DEMOCRATIC DISCOVERY.

A striking example of what one of Cap
tain Marryatt's nautical characters terms
''1apdoodle-the stuff they feed fools
with''ls sfforded by the New York
Morning Journal, in its comments on the
heinous offense of Watson, the Peoples
party Congressman of Georgia, calling
for Federal supervisors at the polls in his
district The organ jointly of Democracy
and New York kdisreputability asserts that:
'fHe hoped that this would result In in
timidating Democratic voters and CIV
ing some advantage to the Populists."
The spectacle of few Federal super
visors intimidating the poor Democrats of
Georgia so that they dare not come to the
polls and vote is one of the choicest prod
ucts Of cheap Imagination. Intimida-
ton is something to which Southern
Democrats have been especially prone. IL
may be merely popular superstition that
they have borne the active rather than
the passive relation to the intimidation;
but the news that the Georgia Democrats
are intfmidated by a few Federal super
visors, with no other power than to make
the demand on behalf Of the United
States for fair vote and honest count,
was something that was reserved for the
journal to disclose.
The Peoples partyis serving the Demo-
cratic cause. That is the only possible re-
suit that can come from any success that
it can win. But the fact that the Demo-
Gratis will not give it chance to poll its
honest vote in the South ought to show
them their fatuity in serving such party.

AN ORGANS EVASION.

There is striking confession in the fol-
lowing excuse of the New York EOenin9
Post for refusing to publish as an adver-
tisement the biography of Gilroy, the Tam
many candidate for Mayor, which it had
previously given in its columns when
fighting Tammany:
We would gladly reprint Mr.. Gilroy's biog-
raphy, or any other of the series, as an ad-
vertisement, If the legal responsibility for 1t
could be transferred to somebody else. We
should rather enjoy, in fact, seeing some
body else arrested and indicted for showing
up the horrors of Tammany rule, but, If the
Evening Post were now to print a biography
as an advertisement, the editor could not go
before the grand jury and say it was pub
lished on public grounds and for justifiable
ends, and with a reasonable expectation OF
good results; the fact being that it was
printed for simple lucre, at so much a line.
If the excuse of the Post is to be taken
as sincere, it Is a confession that the
charges which it has constantly made
against the Tammany politicians were
false and libelouS Unless the allegations
which, it must be borne in mind. have al
ready been made in its columns were un-
uOG UC uctu SulllN VI llDGl
for publishing them, whether as an adver-
tisement or for its own purposes.
Everyone knowing the circumstances
knows that this excuse is not sincere. 1t
is not that the charges are untrue, but
that the Post has abandoned its old inde-
pendence in order to serve its new polit-
ical deities. The evasion is shown in the
pitiful distinction it sets up that it might
Justify before jury the printing of the
Gilroy record, if it did so on its own ac-
count But it has already declined to do
SO, for the simple reason that it has cast
aside all its former antagonism to political
jobbery, because the needs of its favorite
candidate require that it swallow Tam
many and all its jobbers. The New York
Ecenfng Post bowling to the knee of Tam
many in order to advance the cause of
free trade is one of the most powerful
moral examples presented by this cam

VOICE FROM WALES.

We have received copy OF the Ltdnetty
and County Guardian, of October 20,
with an intimation accompanying it that
the editor would be pleased to have an ar
ticle on the tinplate question noticed in
THE DISPATCH. We hasten to comply
with the request, solely on account of the
unique character Of the logic and facts
presented
Our Welsh cotemporary with long
name starts out with the point that its
town is the pioneer and center of the En-
glish tinplate industry, and SIS known as
the Tinopolis of the World" This of
course renders it very reprehensible, in
the opinion of the editor, to encourage
the development of tinplate manufacture
anywhere else. Nevertheless, the Welsh
journal finds that "a Senator named Nc
Kinley on the other side of the Atlantic"
has been guilty of that faulty, which the
Llanelly publication regards as fiat burg
larry. The article then discursively pro-
ceeds to haul Mr.. J. H. Rogers over the
Goals for the offense of removing
his industry from Wales to the United
States and to perceive in it the fell hand
CT that standing bugbear to the English
aristocracy and the American Democracy,
our own Andrew Carnegie. Such step
as locating tin works anywhere but at
Llanelly the organ of that town regards
as peculiarly fatuous as the election of
Cleveland will be sure to repeal the Nc
Kinley act Nevertheless there is a doubt
on thic pnipt for nur foro;r, or;tio oroas
on to state that the increased cost of tin
in canned goods will transfer the English
canned goods trade to ''our own colonies
who will be able to compete and under
sell the Americans in the markets of the
world by reason of there being no tariff
on their tin plates"
The intimate acquaintance with Ameri-
can politics shown by the reference to "a
Senator named Mckinley" and the pre-
diction that the election of Cleveland will
repeal the tariff, is not more delicious
than the industrial acumen displayed in
the prediction that the tariff, which is to
be alone repealed, will transfer the canned
goods trade to the British colonies. Thesin-
creased cost of tin in canned goods hav-
ing been figured out at an imperceptible
fraction Of cent per can, the United
States will await the catastrophe pre-
dicted with calmness if not with conf
dence. There is, however, doubt on the
tin plate question strongly suggested by
this article. If the development of
tin plate manufacture in this country
should imply the transfer here of the in
dustrlal journalism exemplified by the
Llaneliy and County Guardian. the pub
lie may think further of it before taking

DIFFERENCE IN LABOR COST

The New York Times has been attack
ing Senator Sherman for defining in
recent speech the purpose of protection to
be to cover the difference in wages be-
tween the industries of this country and
those of Europe. The Times heads lis
editorial article making the attack 'sNo
Truth in 1t" evidently with the purpose
of applying that assertion to Senator
Sherman's speech, but really character
izng by those words its own assertions.
The specific case which the Times cites
to impeach Senator Sherman's veracity is:
'For example, the duty on steel rails is
about 90 per cent, at current prices, and
the Republican Commissioner of Labor
has shown conclusively thatit is three and
one-half times the difference in labor cost,
or in wages paid per ton" This is an
assertion which might be considered
pardonable mistake if made once or twice;
but when made after repeated correction

JUDGE GRESHAM'S letter to Mr.. Blu ford
Wilson, as pnblished elsewhere, may be re-
garded as definitely settling the way in
which the former intends to vote. Judge
Gresham has in the past been rightly re-
garded as man of marked ability and
integrity. The charge that his political
action is due to disappointment in seeking
Office under Republican administration is
denied. These facts make it surprising that
the Judge explains his intention to vote for
Mr. Cleveland by saying he objects to the
Mckinley bill. There is no attempt to pro-
duce arguments or evidence against Protec-
tion, but simply few general statements of
personal opinions. What shall be substi-
tuted for the Mckinley bill is not suggested.
In view OF the strong evidence of the ad-
vantages which the country has already de-
rived from the most recent Protective
measure, and the utter uncertainty of Demo-
cratic intentions and the consequent threat
to commerce. the vote of Judge Gresham
Will be moro likely to confirm tile growing
suspicion that he gets more tickle as he gets
older than to influence men of business
instincts to follow his example.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Walter Guy Furnald,
the young Massachusetts, sport, was to-day
discharged on the charge OF cashing worth
less check on the Murray Hill Hotel. He
was immediately arrested, however, on
what appeared to be amore serious charge,
1t seems that the young man forced his ac-
quaintance upon two young society women
one from Boston and the other from Chi
cago, during II trip to Europe. The Chicago
woman's diamonds, the value OF 81, 900, were
missed when the other side was reached and
Fufnald suspected.
In Jefferson Market court this afternoon
Furnald was charged by Mrs. Katharine
Post, OF Chicago, with the theft or 50, 500
worth OF diamonds from her house in that
city. He is said to have stolen the jewels on
or about October II. Furnald was held in
s., 1000 bail by Justice Ryan to appear for ex-
animation Monday afternoon. He could not
furnish bail and was remanded into custody.
The identity of the Boston woman was not
