portion of the owners of sugar
estates in the South expect that
Congress will reintroduce, either
entirely or partially, the former
duty on sugar e cents per lb., }
and they would be willing to
agree to the replacement of the
bounty by duty of one to one
and half cent. Calculated on
the basis of last years Imports, a
duty of one cent per ID, would
bring in to the Government
yearly revenue of $35,OO0,0 900,
whilst their expenditure would be
reduced through the abolition of
the premium by about $1,000, 900,
a considerable gain for Uncle
Sam. If the forthcoming Con-
gress should levy a duty of one
cent per lb. on raw sugar, which
at present is on the free list, this
would not excite such opposition
as did formerly the levying of the
2 cents duty though the consul
mers would naturally prefer to
have the duty fixed as low as pos
sible.
At the same time it is very pos
sible to increase the income of the
Government by about $27, 600, 900
annually (inclusive of the aboli-
ton of the premium) without in
creasing the cost of the consumer,
which might be done in the fol-
lowing way: The Sugar Trust at
present enjoys protective duty
Of one half cent per pound on re-
fined sugar, and by means of this
has been placed in a. position to
keep down any competition, and
force the consumer to pay the du-
ty. Now if Congress should in
troduce duty of one half cent on
raw sugar and retain that of one
half cent on refined sugar, this
would not raise the cost to the
consumer, because foreign ooun-
tries, in order to keep up the CON-
petition, would have to sell cheap
er to us. But the revenue of the
Federal Government would be in
creased by the imposition of the
duty in question to the extent of
81, 10000 per annum, and, in
elusive of the econmy obtained by
the abolition of the bounty, by q
total sum of about $27, 900, 900.
Congress should, to say the least,
take this matter into serious con-
sideration.-New York Handels
Zeitung.

Sugar Bounty VS.. Sugar Duty.

The sugar planters of Louisiana
have at last come to the conclu-
sion that the new Congress will
under any circumstances abolish
the premium on sugar, as it has
from the outset never commended
itself to public opinion. For this
reason when the Mckinley tariff
was under discussion in Congress
prominent sugar planters
recommended duty upon sugar
in place of the sugar bounty. As
matters now stands, the greater

Unseemly Conduct.

The country is tired of the OBJ
structive and do-nothing policy
that characterizes the action of
the United States Senate on the
Wilson repeal bill, which provides
for the abolition of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. Not
alone has the country become
weary, but thinking men fail to
find sufficient excuse for the con-
duct of those men sitting in the
Senate chamber, toward the peo-
pie whose interests they have
placed in jeopardy. and whose di-
gnity they have ignored. The
grave and revered signors" are
tearing down the traditions that
have surrounded the Senate of the
United States and clothed it with
almost sanity gravity; such men
as Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
would soon dissipate the glamour
that has veiled the great Senate
from impertinent intimacy.
The country is in the throes of
a tremendous internal financial
couvulsion. Each day, passing
away to be added to the ever
swelling number, builds higher
and stronger the barrier that the
Senators are raising between their
own selfish interests and the will
of the people.
The situation is far graver than
may be generally known. There
are thousands of capitalists who
are quietly, but none the less ear
nestly, scrutiniziug each days
work of the Senate; thousands of
enterprises hinge upon the de-
mand for the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law, and if that
measure should fail to pass, mil
lions of dollars will remain in the
Golfers of those who now hold
them, and remain to await a more
prOpitious outlook. The finan-
ciers Of the United States know
full we'll that if the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law is not
repealed, and that if the threat
that the time may come when in
vestors will be compelled 10 re-
ceive payments for earnings in
silver, is not removed, business
will become limited to the bor-
ders of the United States, and
that it would be inane to attempt
to transact ordinary commerce,
except upon a basis of ruinous
discount.
In the face of these startling
facts We find the Senators divided
into cliques, and the interests of
the particular section represented
by the cliques defining the men,
bership of such disgraceful divi-
sions. Christ scourged the mo-
ney changers and drove them out
of the temple. They were desc
Grating the holy place by their
sOrdid and base methods. The
people, as with one voice, cry out
in their distress, yet the Senators,
who hold the power to alleviate
their woe, wrangle with each
,ther as to the best means of ap-
plying a remedy. They are not
mindful of the people; they are
oandering to their own pride and
selfish ambition, and it would be
veil for the vitality of commerce

ry if the obstructive and useless
