THE SUGAR PROBLEM.

What to do with sugar is now the ques-
ton. At the present time raw sugar is
admitted free and a duty of oDe-half a
cent pound Is levied on refined sugar.
This duty and monopoly of the business
which it secures affords the sugar trust
enormous profits. The average profit of
refining sugar in the East is one cent a
pound. Treasurer Searles of the trust es-
Inmates the aggregate capacity OF the trust
reineries at 10000 barrels a day. This,
however. is In excess of the demand for
consumption. At the first glance we would
say that the removal of the half cent a
ponnd duty on refined sugar would be a
blow at the trust. So it might If the raw
article should continue to be admitted free.
But it is admitted on all sides that duty
of probably one cent a pound will be i'm
posed upon raw sugar. Something like
eleven millions in revenue will be sacrificed
by putting wool. lumber, hemp, fax, btu
miDous coal, coke, iron and COPPER ore on
the free list, and this deficiency must be
made up from some source. Why not make
il up from sugar?
The idea has doubtless dawned on the
trainers of the tariff that there is a good
deal of money for somebody in raw sugar.
AS we import about eght-ninths of the
sugar we consume the home product does
not figure in determining the price. The
one cent duty will be added to the cost Of
sugar in this country. Now it is deemed
necessary to give six months notice of the
change in the tariff. In that six months
the trust can import sugar free of duty,
and after the new tariff goes into effect
sell it at an advance Of one cent pound.
There is So, ZOO, 900 in this operation, and
the speculation is absolutely without risk.
1t is not possible to add enough to the ONE
product in year to materially affect the
market price. 1t becomes a question,
therefore, what to do with sugar. The
protectionist would continue the bounty
on homemade sugar and reduce or re-
move entirely the duty on refined sugar.
But the free trader appears disposed to
put revenue duty on raw sugar, even if a
sugar trnst does make S35.00o,0 QUO from it..
There is no hope of relief. 1t may be that
Acknowledgement Olney is prepared for a
spring at the throat of the sugar trust. A
grand opportunity is afforded to carry out
the promise Mr.. Cleveland made in his
inaugural message. Possibly this is the
opportunity Cleveland and his Attorney
General have been waiting for.

A QUEER SUMMING UP.

The Boston Herald sums up the Van
Allen case without reference to the estab-
lisbed fact that Mr. Van Allen contributed
$4,000 TO the Democratic campaign fund
last year. The Herald refers to Mr.. Van
Allen as gentleman of intelligence, with
an education that gives him fitness that
some other En- bassadors have not pos
sessed. The Herald assumes also that a
good deal of the talk of Mr.. Van Aliens
un-American feeling is not true. The
conclusion is fair from this summing up
that in the opinion of leading New Eng
land Democratic paper the contribution OF
$4,000. with the understanding that a
first-class mission would be offered as a
kind of CONDENSATION. is not a matter
worth mentioning.

4" TWIN RELICS"

The Republican National Convention of
1856 adopted a resolution asserting ''the
right and the duty of Congress to pro-
hibit in the Territories those twin relics of
barbarism-polygamy and slavery" The
phrase caught on. The twin relics were
doomed. The moral sense of the people
was aroused against them. The negative
of an Eastern intelligence now proposes to
substitute free silver coinage and high
tariff taxation for the twin relics that the
moral sense of the people rose against
thirty years ago. The individual cannot
perceive the difference between a great
moral wrong and question in political
economy. While free silver coinage may
Bot be advisable at the present day the
advocates OF it cannot be classed with the
advocates OF slavery or polygarhy. On the
point of prnDity and fair dealing the
friends of tree coinage have the best of
the argument. As for protection, which is

MRS. COOPER'S BIBLE CLASS.
Jesus Came to Reveal the Love of
God to Man.


At the opening of the Bible-class in the
First Congregational Church yesterday
Mrs. Cooper referred very feelingly to the
sudden death of Mrs. A. o. McGrew, who
had been beloved member of the class
for many years. She was glad to know
that to her death was but the portal to the
life immortal.
The lesson of the day was Redemption
in Christ" founded on Romans iii:19-26.
This book of Romans, said Mrs. Cooper,
has been described as comprising the re-
ligious philosophy of the worlds history.
Paul shows plainly that the essential
truths of religion have their elements in
our nature. They existed before the Bible
was written. The Bible does not create
truth. it expounds truth and brings it into
practical shape and makes it usa Bile for us.
We might as we'll remember that as the
great facts of physical life are not depen-
dent upon our notions about them. so
also the great facts of spiritual life are not
In the least dependent on our no lions about
them. In either case, we can obey and
prosper or dlsobey and reap the penalty of
broken law. There is nothing arbitrary
about it. We reap what we sow.
The seed sown contains in Itself the fu-
ture harvest. There is nothing in all the
universe tDat IS not governed by law. we
make all our plans relying on the i'm
mutability Of natures laws. Man only
defies Gods laws. Who ever heard of a
is0bedient element in a chemical COM
pound? Were there such a recreant ele-
ment what surety would there be for the
chemical analyst? Man alone is disobe-
dent to the great creator. Man alone
needs forgiveness. Our lesson teaches
that God can forgive the penitent. We
lave in these verses Gods declar alton of
love to the world in Jesus Christ, which
reveals to US the heart Of God as eternally
forgiving to those who are repentant.
Gods love is forgiveness. and it takes
effect the moment the sinner repents-just
as the sun begins TO warm the moment one
comes out OF dungeon into his light The
sun does not change. but the darkened
soul is the one that changes. Tell me OF
of cruel, angry God! 1t is not so! Look
at suffering Love on the cross aud hear the
voice: she that hath seen me hath seen
the father" Whoever would make the
Maynard prodigal go home can assure him
that warm welcome awaits his return TO
the fathers house. The father does not
need to be recoDcied. 1t is the wayward
wanderer that needs to be reconciled

COPPER CAN BE HARDENED.
Encouraging Reports of the Labors
of DIR. Sager of Warren, Pa.
warr.n. fP..1 Democrat


Considerable has already been written
in outside papers of the discoveries which
have been made by DR.. John 5agar In his
effort to temper copper. Mr.. Sager's claim
is that he is the only man in the world who
can temper this metal. The art was known
to the ancents. but the process has been
lost. Mr.. Sager has been working on this
invention for many years. and some time
ago reached degree of perfection which
warranted him placing the hardened me tai
before the world.
The metal as tempered by Mr.. Sager
appears almost as hard as steel, and is far
in advance of other samples of copper
which come from two or three different
concerns throughout the United States
which claim to harden the metal by tenn
pering. Mr.. Sager has forwarded sam
piles OF his tempering to Europe and to
the leading scien fists of this country,
and he has in his possession a
number of very encouraging replies. It is
not the claim of Mr.. Sager that the METAL
can be made hard enough for use in max
ing edged tools. Copper has not the prop
critics of steel for retaining temper in edged
goods. and the only claim is that copper
can be hardened sufficiently to be used in
all kinds of machinery.

SILVER HERE AND IN FRANCE.
Is the great republic of France really
so much richer than the great republic
OF the United States, asks the Denver
Republican. And the editor proceeds to
give some figures which answer the
question.
France has only population OF a
little more than So 900, 900 against more
than IS, 900 900 in the United States.
The population OF France is hardly in.
creasing at all, while the population OF
the United States increases enormously
every year.
The annual revenue and expenditure
OF France amounts to about 5000, 900, 900
each, while the expenditure OF the
United States, with all it's vast pay
ments on account of pensions, does not
amount to more than $3.50, 100000 a
year. Our population is about 60 per
cent. greater than that of France.
Our annual expenditure would have
to become nearly three times as great
as it is before it reached that OF France
relatively.
France has total debt of nearly &c.
0OO,00D,000 while our national debt on
July l, 1892, only amounted to $S41, :
526 ,463, after deducting the cash in the
treasury from the outstanding indebt.
edness.
The annual imports Of France amount
to $l,l45,75 900, and the annual ex.
ports amount to s9l2,s9O, 900. The an
nual imports Of the United States only
amount to 1927, 4O4, 1853, and the annual
exports amount to $l,015. 723,01l. In
France the imports exceed the exports,
but in the United States the contrary
is true.
In France the annual production OF
silver amounts to 81, 955, 600, and in The
Arizona republican., 1893-08-16

United States it amounts to $83 ,909, 2l0.
France has a stock of silver coin
amounting in value to more than $780,
100000. while the United States has
not got $500, 900, 900 of silver.
The United States would have to coin
at least $500, 100000 more before it
would have as much silver in proper
ton to population ss France now holds.
Although France has more than
double as much silver propo rtionstely
as the United States, it keeps the value
of all it's silver coin up to the ratio Of
151a to l., while the United States does
not seem willing to continue to keep its
much smaller stock OF silver up to the
ratio OF Is to l..
France has bought all its silver for
about $l.29 or more per ounce from for.
eign producers, but the United States
has only paid its own producers about
80 cents an ounce for its stock of silver.
France has not asked anybody to
help it keep up the value OF its high
priced stock OF silver, and the United
States does not need to ask any other
part OF the world to aid it in maintain
ing all the silver it has on hand and
can produce in the future at the ratio
Of 10 to1.
Why should we not 20 on then and
coin all our own silver product at least,
until our stock Of silver is relatively as
great as that OF France?
Above all things, why should con-
gress be asked to officially declare, by
repeating the Sherman law, that this
country is so much poorer than France,
that it cannot afford to properly pro-
tect and utilize the annual output OF
our own silver mines?
Arizona republican., 1893-08-16

The financial situation Is the unfortunate
legacy of the Republican administration. II
Is the natural result of the Mckinley tariff,
the sherman silver law, extravagancy Of the
party lately In power, and the creation and
fostering OF trusts and corrupt combinations by
that party, all combining to shake credit, to
create distrust In the money of the country
