A great effort will be made by the
tree traders to repeal the bounty on
Eugar at tho present session of Con.
gress, as it Is alleged the bounty of
go, 600, 600 goes into tho Golfers OF a
monopoly. The effect has been to
nearly check the importation ofsugar,
rs the duty paid the past year on re.
Ened sugar only amounted to half
million Of dollars. They say duty
of half cent q pound on raw sugar
would put $50, 600, Oo) IN the treasury
every year, and for this amount they
would sacrifice the entire sugar indus,
try.
The policy may DO good statesman
ship In the eyes Of free traders, but to
us 1t seems pennywise and pound
foolish, saving at the spIgot while
tie money runs out at the bung. Il
Is in keeping with the doctrine OF in
rreRsing imports In order to rails
revenue, and letting the great mass o
our people remain unemployed
Those who are now looking for worl
can now learn something worth know
Ing In political economy, If they vii
but keep their eyes open.

The Delawerenn is so much opposed
TO the tariff that 1t condemns the hear
Ing of the manufacturers by the com
mlttee of Ways and Means. as a very
foolish thing, as the people OF the
country at the last election, declared
for thorough revision OF the tariff
and they expect their will to be carried
out without a waste of time"
The editor OF the Delawarean may
hsvs fully understood what he voted
for and what the party was pledged to
do, but the great macs OF voters did
not believe that the industries OF the
country were going to be ruthlesSly
destroyed, and IL tho question OF tariff
reduction could be voted OIL this com
Ing November, no would find that an
overwhelming majority would be
rolled up against it.
Tariff revision must be such as to
Ehvor the manufacturing Of goods t
supply our own wants and keep GU
own people employed, or the party
making such revision will be buried S
deeply at the election next year, that
the hand of resurrection will neve
Teach it.

Republican Glasses In the Sunday
Star compared the Democrats to the
seventeen year locust. which makes a
great noise, frightens women and
children. puts Its sting into many
beautiful trees, despoiling them of
light and shade. but 1t does not stay
long before 1t splits up the back, goee
60 pieces literally and disappears. The
Democratic locust has poisoned the
tree Of confidence, blasted to a great
degree the protecting foliage OF the
American system, and here and there
II has struck death blow to American
enterprises. But It is already split VI

pieces and pass away before four years

snarcby, discomfort and class hatred
to break out In some other form I

In London society float about many funny
stories of people whose heads are turned by
the acquisition Of small title bestowed by
royalty in the progress of some official
function. One is told of the wife Of a city
magnate who bought a country place and
was finally knighted. The lady was of
very humble origin, and her elevation was
too much for her. The clergyman of the
village--a scion of noble family-called
upon the new knight to congratulate him
and WAS kept waiting in the drawing room
for some 20 minutes. Then the door was
flung open by powdered turnkey, who,
ushering in the fat and florid mistress of
the house, bawlcd out at the top of his
voice, The Lady Junes!p
Not long ago the wife of another new
made knight was greatly aggrieved at re-
ceiving on the very day this dignity was
conferred a letter naturally enough ad.
