The Tariff on Sugar.

The men who propose to restore the
tariff on sugar must have forgotten that
the CRY for a free brcakfast-table" was
one OF the things which, united to-
gether. caused the defeat Of Mr.. HARRISON.
We pity the Democratic member OF the
House of Representatives who shall re-
turn TO his constituents with no other
claim TO their renewed support of him than
the fact that he had voted TO tax the breaS-
fast-table of every man III the land. high
or low, rich or poor. Nay, that he
voted TO restore that tax after 1t had
been removed b. Republican Congress.
This claim for support might be acknow-
ledged as good in Louisiana and wherever
sugar is produced. but would be treated
with overwhelming contempt by the sugar
consumers of this country. 1t IS true the
tariff on sugar produced an immense reVe-
uue-sav fifty millions Of dollars; but 1t IS
also true that the people had TO pay twice
fifty millions Of dollars for the fifty which
the government collected IN the shape OF
customs-duties.
1t is said by the advocates of the repeal
of the sugar-duties chat 1t IS tax which
is collected at less comparative expense
than most of the articles which pay Gus
toms-duties. But that fact is poor reason
for levying q tax so unjust that 1t cannot
be successfully defended before the peo-
pie. Its injustice consists in taxing men
in uroportion 10 the number or size or
their respective families. instead OF accord
inc TO their ability to pay. In framing
a tariff bill the utmost care ought to be
taken by the next Democratic Congress not
70 allow this objection TO hold good.
That cannot be just tax which falls upon
a man of no property and dozen chill
dren and does not fall upon the wealth.
ost bachelor in the land. No other aIgu-
ment is needed to prove the injustice OF
the tariff tax which existed up to the time
of the passage of the MCKINLEY bill. 1t
was stupid in the Republicans to take the
duty of sugar, as they did, and substitute
q bounty upon that article. IL was. as we
have often remarked, an object lesson. Su-
gar fell 80 per cent. or more and thus con-
ylnced the public that beyonda doubt the
consumers paid all the tariff taxes. SO
they determined not TO be taxed by duty
on sugar imported into their country nor
by bounty upon sugar produced here.
The people have condemned the tax on
sugar. Let all good Democrats hearken to
their voice.

The suggestion that the Chamber Of
Commerce should make its building fire
proof-which it can do at small cost
meets with general favor from the sub
scribers TO the building fund.
There is enough money in hand to allow
this to be done without fear that there
will be a deficiency when the building Is
completed.
The very name Of "a fre-proof build
inpn will be worth the additional money,
in view of the numerous rooms II 1t which
will be offered for rent.

that when he began TO preach
he tIways had a glass OF wafer
Mar him to wet his throat oc-

reflected that nature was able
10 t7ke re of the throat if left
alone. This he proceeded to
do. and the result was that he

desire for wafer. If a public

Mr.. Meyer rushed out through a side

George j. kispert and the Gerry
mander

In the state senate George J. Kis-
pert, the Republican candidate for
Senator in this district, would be OPP
posed to any division of the state in
to senate and assembly districts that
could be considered as gerrymander,
which DISTINGUISHES the voters and
robs them of their just rights under
the constitution. A gerrymander
places at defiance the principle fought
out in the Revolution that taxation
without representation is the worst
kind of tyranny" There is every
evidence that at the coming special
session of the legislature there will be
an effort on the part of the Wall-Peck
legislators at hedging on the matter
of the gerrymander, and an effort will
be made, if it possibly can be done, to
nullify the edict of the state supre me
court relative to gerrymanders. The
Democratic candidate for the senate
in this district if elected will stand by
the Wall-Peck combine In all their
movements, even to the extent of
committing a wrong to the state which
may result in a second special session
| of the legislature before the complete
rights of the people are fully recog-
nized and maintained. Our reason for
this is patent; because he is built that
way, and does not himself deny that
from the ground up he is strong and
unrelenting partisan.
Mr.. Kispert in the senate would not
be so unmindful of the peoples inter
est as to require him within a few
months to retrace his steps in order to
right the wrongs he had perpetrated
as a legislator against the people and
the good name of the state. In other
words he would infuse good fair, sound,
business methods into his legislative
acts and not play the tool of any clique
or ring.
