What will the Republican stump
speakers have to say now about the
Mckinley Cheap Sugar bill? Last
week we got Is to 20 pounds OF granu-
lated sugar for $1.OO, now we only get
Is pounds, or in other words, we have
to pay 81 cents per pound now land
the Lord only knows how much more)
whereas, only few days ago we paid
5 to 5 SO cents per pound. Inc rea-
sons are obvious, one of which is to
protect the Sugar Barons as promised
by Major Mckinley in his infamous
tariff bill. The fact of the matter is
they are not getting enough protection
to satisfy their greed, and consequent
ly raise the prices, which increases
directly the burden upon the con-
sumer, as can easily be seen from
the manifesto issued by the sugar trust.
Here it is: THAT if the wholesale gro
GERS will sell only at the price fixed by
the trust, they, the dealers, will be al
lowed an additional per cent discount,
which will be equal to about $4,000 on
every 100 barrels" Now, who on the
face of Gods green earth will be call
ed on to pay this tax or per cent!
| None other than the consumer, as
matter of fact, and yet they would have
us believe that the tariff is not tax;
it's nonsensical to think SO. Some OF
our Republican grocers try to explain
the cause of the rise in prices by saying
that cholera in the Old Country stops
the importation Of the article and
thereby raises the price. but this sor'
of an explanation won't wash; the sim
pie fact is, as we have stated. to protect
the trust, make the rich richer and us
Door devils poorer; or at least this Is
the way it looks to a man up tree.

communication. Mrs. VIM. O'Brien ar
