The SUGAR TAX.
How the Country Il PIundered Thressh
the Mckinley Btll.

The Mckinley bill retained tax on
refined sugars OF half cent pound
For the year ending last December
there we're imported only 24,0Oo,o0o
pounds of refined sugar. and there
were exported over 5000, 900 pounds.
There were imported $3.50. 600, 600
pounds Of raw sugar free of tax. The
comparatively small amount of refined
imported shows how fully the sugar
tr,rst controls our market. The fact that
we export refined sugars shows that no
prote ction. not even that of half cent
n pound, is needed. As revenue tax
IL amounts to nothing. AS means OF
plundering the consumers of sugar IN
this country its power will be seen by
few facts.
The stock OF the sugar trust, still a
trust Notwithstanding its reorraniza-
ton under the flexible laws OF New

The Curious "Uhis;Iinc Jugs"

The silvadors or musical jugs found
among the burial places of the ancient Pc
ruvians are most ingenious specimens of
old time hac1iworll. The f. NJ Kline col
lection at Knoxville, Ia, contains some re-
markable specimens OF this rude and an
cient art. One of these vessels, which is in
reality two vessels joined together with a
clay stem after the fashion of the Siamese
twins, is the finest example of the ''whis-
Ting jug" the writer has ever seen. The
stem is hollow, and one end is entirely
closed eXcepta small opening provided with
a clay tube leading into the body of the
whistler. When any kind of liquor is
poured into the open mouthed jug, the air
is compressed into the other through the
opening in the connecting stem, from
whence it is forced into the whistle, the Vi
brations producing the lovely songs of the
various forest birds peculiar to Peru and
other South American countries.-Phila-
