A Sure Test.

Nothing In tho science Of political econ
omy can Just now be more desirable than a
test which will enable any philosophical
student to dis tinguish the sincere believers
in foreign free trade from the mere volu-
bic shams and ~dcludhcreis.
The genuine FREQ trader will always be In
favor Of levying an import duty on tea ana
coffee. They are articles OF universal. pop
ular necessity. No other imported mer-
chandise can so we'll stand n moderate tax:
no other can so confidently be relied upon
TO furnish q desired revenue.
The protectionist, on the other hand. will
always favor the free admission OF tea and
coffee In order to compel the revenue raiser
TO consent to the imposition OF duties upon
other articles. which would not be produced
in the United States unless their producers
were protected by such duties.
Sugar is another Indispensable article OF
popular consumption. but its condition In
this country differs essentially from that OF
tea and coffee. Sugar we can grow in mod
crate quantities, but it costs more to grow
IL In Louisiana and Texas than in the West
Indies; and 1t canuot stand this COMPETE
ton unless IL is protected. Accordingly. a
protective duty was levied upon foreign
sugar M to the time Of Major MCKINLEY.
Under the lead Of that audacious states
man the protectionists determined to
let in foreign sugar without any duty at
all, so that the poor man might sweeten
his free coffee or tea with untaxed sugar.
Then to save the growers Of Louisiana and
Texas in the struggle for existence. they
protected them by means OF a special
bounty paid out Of the Federal treasury.
This arrangement every sincere free
trader must abhor and repudiate. He must
aim to abolish McKinleyism in this matter
as in all others. He will stop paying boun-
ties to American sugar growers. and then he
will impose n small revenue tax on foreign
ugar. This will suffice to furnish q hand
some return to the Treasury: but it will be
90 calculated and put at so low a figure that
IL will not afford any protection to the
planters Of Louisiana and Texas. Their
business must go to the dogs. Otherwise
FREQ trade Is not the true doctrine.
As there is a probability Of much declama-
ton about free trade during the next few
years. we have thought it well to furnish to
the public q test by which the quality OF all
economic ideas ~propounded by statesmen
Of the different parties may be measured
and accurately ascertained.

Should Congress Interfere9

Complaints reach Washington in great
numbers and from most respectable and
responsible sources. concerning the man.
agement OF the Chicago Worlds Fair by the
Illinois corporation which is running that
enterprise. The treatment Of manufacture
ers and merchants desiring to exhibit has
beer outrageous In any cases already
brought to the knowledge Of the public.
The first impulse Of the persons aggrieved
by tho partiality. the hoggishness, or the
high-cockiness Of the Chicago managers. is
to appeal to Congress for protection and
redress. So many millions Of dollars have
already been wheedled out Of the United
States Treasury on one pretext and another
by the promoters OF the Exposition. that 1t
b the most natural thing in the world to
regard the Government rs the hacker and
boss Of the concern. and to call upon the
Government to remedy any wrong or in
Justice that citizens suffer on account OF the
doings Of the local management.
This is an entirely reasonable view OF the
matter. under the circumstances. and it Is
not surprising that it should be the view
of the individual exhibitors who lave cause
to complain.
But whether Congress ran afford to IN
dertake to straighten out tho tangle Of
administrative details and to order a change
Of methods on the part OF the Exposition
company, is another question. 1t Is a qucs-
ton Of considerable Importance.
Step by step and appropriation by appro-
priation. the Federal Government has been
tolled and dragged into closer and ~costlier
relations with an enterprise with which at
Az o-S-AA t. had IAr;ti,nnt, .,inn1 nrI.y
In two ways: First. as an exhibitor; and.
secondly. as an intermediary where foreign
Governments were concerned. TIL policy
Of the Chicago spectators and promoters
has been to encourage tho paternal theory
OF the Governments relations to the Chi
cago Fair. and then to work the paternal
theory for all that it was worth in dollars
from the Treasury. BY gradual and adroit
changes Of infection their original cry.
"Give us a merely formal sanction to hold
chicago Fair in honor OF COLUMBUS. and
1t shall not cost you a red cent" has been
transformed into this: :" We undertook the
Fair at you command, and you are respon-
sible for every dollar now needed to make
1t a success. Plank down more millions p.
d. O.. or this nation will be disgraced in the
eyes OF tho world"
The last appropriation voted by Congress
was voted against sound principles and good
Judgment. But the appropriation had at
least this excuse, that il was understood at
the time by the grantor. II not by the
grantee. to close the account between the
Illinois corporation managing the enter
prise and the Treasury.
Before interfering at all in the contro-
yersy between the Fairs directors and the
American exhibitors. or going u step further
toward the complete assumption OF respon'
sibility for the executive management and
pecuniary success Of the show. Congress
will do well to estimate carefully the indi
rect consequences aud probable or possible
cost of such a step.

SARCASM IN SCHOOL.

Words uttered by q Rochester
IN. Y. } school teacher in a mo-
ment of passion has produced
awful results. The sting of re-
proach was so deep that one per-
son, whose sensitive nature was
touched, has died, and another
has lost her reason. A short time
ago Miss NJ. @. Hoppe, teacher in
a public school in that city, call
ed George W. Marshalls son aged
six years, a thief" in the pre-
sence of the other scholars. The
boys sister felt the disgrace keen
ly, and the other children tainted
her with it. She was taken ill
week ago with brain fever and
died. Her mother is out of her
mind in consequence Of the child's
death. and it is said she will never
recover. Miss Hoppe, who called
the boy thief, is also prostrat-
ed over the result of her ill-advis-
ed words and the fearful result.
The above has suggested the
following thoughts.
Sarcasm il defined as being a
biting taunt, bitter, cutting ex-
preston uttered with scorn or
contempt; hence sarcasm is Meth
er born of kindness and much less
of generosity nor of charity. No
teacher can develop the love of
study among her pupils, and i'm
provo the morals of her school
unless kindness, generosity and
charity an her predominant traits.
The heart of a child is open to all
good influences; A sarcastic re-
mark from the teacher which
would tend to lower a child or her
parents in the estimation of his
companions, is neither born of
kindness, generosity nor love,
and any teacher who so far for
gets herself, will eventually lose
the respect of her class.
The true christian teacher will
be careful that nothing falls from
her lips that shall wound the feel
ings of the children, who will not
easily forget a bitter remar k, and
the thought of it will produce a
feeling of repulsion, which no
effort afterwards, of kindness and
courtesy will erase.
Before the teacher makes sar-
castle remarks, it would be better
for her to think, whether it be
kind, and if such q course would
be in limitation of that grand
virtue charity.

The Refinery.

Much has been said and written
of late concerning the establish
ment of central sugar refinery
in this place. Every one admit it to
be q necessity, the only hope ofithe
Dane grower Much cane was made
in this immediate neighborhood,
but little OF it was sold with ad-
vantage to the planter. Much of
it is yet standing and the balance
is in windrow. The price would
have been remumitative if the
planter could dispose of his crop
without extra expenses and delay,
which under present circum-
stances could not possibly be
avoided. What is necessary to
insure the planter a ready and
safe market for his crop is more
refneries.
It is now within the means and
the power Of our people to have a
refinery in this town to take the
coming crop. IL the planters and
the town people are willing to
give a little help and take some
stock in the enterprise we can
assure them they can secure this
much desired industry.
The building and putting in
operation refinery as contemple-
ted will cost in the neighborhood
of two hundred thousand dollars,
we are pleased to say that about
one hundred and twenty thous-
and dollars can and will be taken
as soon as the organization is
effected. The balance of the stock
will be taken by outside capata-
lists if put on the market, but the
promoters OF this great enterprise
prefer TO make it, as much as pos
sible, home enterprise, and to
secure this, it desired that all our
citizens take stock according to
their means. The shares will be
of one hundred dollars each, and
we know that almost every one of
the planters and our town people
can take one or more shares,
this is what is wanted of them.
The time is ripe, the refinery is
within your grasp, if you want
you can have it by subscribing
and helping it; no one doubt that
it will pay handsome profits to
the investors, you should therefore
not hesitate to invest your money
in this needed enterprise, the iron
is red hot now, hammer at it be-
fore it gets cool and you will
shape it in tangible form and
make it an assured fact.-Do not
delay but como at once and you
will have the refinery.
Those who may wish more in
formation concerning this enter
prise can call or communicate to
Mr.. Robert Martin, and he will
make it pleasure to inform you.

Recipe for the Attainment of
Old Age.

The reason l have lived so long
and kept 80 well and hearty" said
recently Miss Eliza Work, of Hem
rietta, NY, who will be 100 years
old if she lives six weeks longer,
is because l never drank tea or cof-
fee, and, sboe all, never got mar
ried."
Miss Work keeps house for her
nephew, George W Lincol, and
keeps no help. She was born at
st. Johnsbury, VT, on January s,
1894, and came to Monroe County
eighty years ago with her brother.
At the age Of 81 =. she travelled
alone to her native place, and dec
lares that she was net bit tired,
either going or returning.

teeth I have always had. My bro
Their lived to be l01, and would

will refuse gold for the new Treass

reduced below 800, ,O0,Q0, the rapid
rise in the rate of foreign-exchange
