We think we can safely assure our good
neighbour that its fears are groundless. 1t
piU not lose a pound of the refining business
On the contrary, it Is more than likely that in
the near future, the Spreckels refinery, which
Is probably one of the most perfect automatic
working r~efneries in the world acill be doubled
IN capacity. It's fears for the consumer are
equally groundless. Large profits by large
corporations are not to be made by large pro-
hts per pound or barrel (this is absolutely inn
possibly under the Mckinley bill but what
ever profits are made, will be by stimulating
IN every way possible, to the largest extent,
consumption of sugar in this country, thereby
giving constant employment to every econo-
mIcal working sugar HOUSE., of which there
are none more economical than the widely &C.
LIBERATED Knight, Franklin & Spreokels, of

This means low prices for refined sugars in
the future; lower prices, in our opinion, than
result from a free refined sugar tariff, which
as one result, would at once bring all the re-
timing world into sharp competition for raw
sugars. Europe is net worked with sugar ex-
changes and speculative syndicates, who would
within t%wenty-four hours of the passage of
such a bill, advance the raw sugar markets
the full amount of the refined sugar duty tax

natural death, without passing beyond its To-

If a farmer had heard that remark
bis spirit should have burned within
hlm.A laborer was taking his dram
when the wife of the liquor-seller
asked for money for a sealskin sac
que. The labou1er reflected. INV
wife has no sealskin sacque. Who
pays for that sacque?" In our case
the answer is ready: the farmer,
He pays for the waste.
1t is interesting to note that u
modern improved manufacture.
while it has greatly decreased cost,
has also greatly increased waste Of
material and of labour. A Match.
for instance, costs very little, and as a
consequence is wastetully used. The
aggregate of these little wastes
amounts to the waste of great
RATS Of logs, and waste of labor
IN forest and in factory. A steel pen
costs very little, and after a remote
fraction of its weight has been worn
from the point, the remainder is
waste. The material actually worn
from its point has probably cost much
more than its weight in gold. The
aggregate of these little wastes
amounts to the waste of hundreds of
tons of steel, and to waste of labour
in mines and in the shops. It is said
that, counting all losses, from the
threshing machine to the consumer
less than five per cent. of the wheat
produced is utilized in the body.
Ninety-fye per Ct Mt. is waste. What
traction of the strength derived from
the utilized fraction of wheat is use
full effect! We seem now to have
drifted into the subject of great
wastes.
IN the matter of little wastes, the
extravaganza Of modern times is
prodigious, compared with former
times. Our fathers had little, but
they made that little last longer than
We. Our miners are always mining,
cur foresters are always Telling trees,
our factories are always turning out
supplies how much of it all is waste
useless, wasteful waste!

Editor Louisiana Plan er:

Editor Louisiana Plan er:
Warder, Bushnell q Company, the
manufacturers Of the Champion grain
and grass cutting machinery, ask the
users of moving machines an inter
esting question: Did you ever think
how much of your mower wears out!
The average moving machine, when
new, weighs aboutsix hundred pounds;
when worm out it weighs about 500
pounds"
The new moving machine costs
the user about $50. The worn out
mower is worth about three dollars
for old iron. How much have you
paid for the two pounds which you
have used up!'
1t is scarcely correct to reply that
the iron which has been used up has
cost $3.50 per pound, for the loss of
metal vas a cause OF expense for re-
pairs, loss of valuable time, increased
draft, inefficient work-all of which
have a money value. The actual cost
W VIC uoCA VI VIC wv pOuAO0 VI VA
which were worn out, was probably
twice the cost of the machine. If so,
the iron worn out cost three and one
half times its weight in silver. tits
unnecessary TO add that in average
practice this excessive cost is needless
and extravagant.
The owners of sugar machinery
can find ample food for thought in
the question asked by Warder, Bush
nell & Co. Junk shops and scrap
piles often show extravagant waste of
high priced material on the part of
the users.
A manufacturer of agricultural
implements was speaking of his ex-
tensive sales. He was asked if his
sales would not diminish when the
farmers in his territory were once
supplied. He replied: "This is a
great country, and there are many
fence corners in it which shelter
machines, and this makes and keeps
trade good"

The following extract from the New York
Sun of Friday is the most refined irony. but
carries world of wisdom. The perpetual
employers and the perpetual employees
would form new kind of slavery-one in
which each side to the involuntary relation
ship would be slaves TO tho other.
Suppose that the right of the empoye to
perpetual employment were an actual exist
ing legal right. as Senator Palmer and other
sentimentalists or cranls would like 10 see
it. Suppose there were State courts and a
United States Supreme Court of compul-
sorry arbitration to pass upon cases arising
between the perpetual employers and the
perpetual employees. Then the newspapers
would contain reports like these:
In the Supreme Court of Arbitration
yesterday the conviction of Hugh O'Donnell
was affirmed. ODonnell was sentenced by
the Pennsylvania Court of Arbitration to
one years Imprisonment for attempting to
leave the employ of Carnegie. Phipps q
Co.. to take place at higher salary in

WAsHNGToN. July 26.-Reports from
lllineis indicate that Senator Palmer has got
into serious trouble by his recent attempt TO
discharge his gardener. The affair was
hushed up, the man promising to make no
complaint. but officers of the Society for the
Prevention of Violation of the Perpetual
Employment Law have taken up the case
and will prosecute it TO the end
"Munchausen Pinto an editorial writer
employed by the New York World. shot
himself in the head in Abingdon Square yes

OF Compulsory Arbitration last week TO grant
his petition to be allowed to give up his
position on the World had preyed on his
mind. He was Of sensitive nervous tenn
perament. and could not recover from the
knowledge that it was legally impossible for
him to obtain respectable employment
This would be sweet country If the

IN the decision Of Chief-Justce Morse
rendered at Lansing. Mich. July 2sth, there
are some vigorous references 10 the evils OF
gerrymandering which this Jurist attacks
irrespective of what party has recourse to
Il. Said be:
# believe that the time for plain speak
ing has arrived in relation 10 this outrage
GUS practice of gerrymandering, which has
become so common and has 30 long been
INDUCED in without rebuke that it threat
ems not only the peace of the people but the
permanency of our free institutions. The
court alone in this respect can save the
rights of the people and give TO them q fair
count and equality in representation. 1t has
been demonstrated that the people cannot
right this wrong They may change the
political majority in the Legislature. as they
have often done, but the new majority pro-
ceeds at once to make an apportionment in
the interests of its party as unequal and
politically vicious as the one that it re-.
peals.N
The force Of Judge Morse's words is some
what lessened by the fact that the question
of gerrymandering presents itself in q new
light to the Republican mind in the North
west now that the Democrats of one of the
great States of that section have passed a
law requiring presidential electors to be
elected by congressional districts. In this
way States which would under ordinary cir
cumstances return the full Republican cleo
toral ticket NAV be partially represented in
the electoral college by Democrats Much
of Judge Morse's indignant animadversion
on gerrymandering is doubtless to be at
tributed to his recognition that the Repub-
lean party is being hoist W it'll its own petard.
