FREE coal AND TAXED SUGAR.

1.-THE Consumer Pays the Tax" Say the
Democrats, SO See What 1t Means.
In considering the effect of free coal
and tax upon sugar ii must be remem-
bered that. according to the Democratic
theory, the consumer pays the tax.
Our imports of coal in 1892 were
1854. 9i7 tons, upon which was collect
cd duty of IS cents per ton, or total
of 81, OPS, 6i3 in single year. This is
the extent of the relief that would be
accorded to the American people by free
coal.
Our consumption of sugar last year
was 1, 343, 200, 500 pounds, which, at an
average price of "a cents per pound,
would be worth $l19, 43s, 26l An ad
valorem tariff of 10 per cent upon this
amount would be s47,775, 304 A diff
ferential duty of onc-eighth cent upon
4,343, 200, 500 pounds would be So, 429, :
OLE, making Ii total breakfast table tax
of $53, 204, 3I6.
Free coal would thus, according to
the Democratic theory of the consumer
paying the tax, effect q saving TO the
people of 81, 023, Gi3, or IL cesits per
capita, while taxed sugar would cost
them SOB, 204, 3l6, or II cents for every
man, woman and child in the country.
The direct loss by such Democratic leg
islation would have been 751s cents for
every individual, total additional
burden of ;,52, 1870, 703 year.

wool dealers have not discovered this
fact. The Times ought not to keep
the particulars all to itself, bat just fur
nish the name of one single owner of
wool who has realized any such ad-
vance. Justice, Bateman & Co. and
other wool dealers report that "prices
favor BUYERS" Not single trade jour
nal has the news of the advance. The
only advance has been 5per cent one

ers will have to wait until there is
a change of administration at Wash

that the wool crop this year is somuch

there has been no advance in the price

WEST VIRGINIA ron PROTECTION.



The question of protection for .wool
and manufactures thereof seems to have
occupied the attention of the lawmakers
ia the American colonies in tho very be-
ginning of their history. AS early IS
1909 the eolonists of jamestown. Va,
were provided with sheep which did
not increase very rapidly in consequence
of their destruction by wolves, SO that
in 1913, 80 years after their first intro
duction, the number of sheep in the
whole colony of Virginia was only
5000 The first evidence of government
protection for wool was in an enactment
passed in 1867, setting forth that no
sheep be transported out Of the colony
except upon such penalties as may DO
thought fit by the governor and the
council, and in 1862 Virginia, by a stat
ute, not only prohibited the exporta-
ton of wool, bnt offered bounty as an
encouragement to the raising of sheep
and the establishment of wooden manu-
features by offering five pounds of to-
bacco lat that time Virginia currency
for every yard of wooden cloth made in
the colony.
Thus protection was born ON Virginia
soil The principle of protection to
American industries was again recog
nized in 1864, when, with view to di-
versifying industries, the general assem-
bly, of Virginia, Mt the public expense,
established in each county looms for
weavers. In 1868 law was passed for
the DurroSp of better converting wool,
fax and hemp into clothing. The COM
missioners of the county courts were
given authority to build houses for the
instruction of poor children in the art
Of spinning and weaving.
And to further promote these objects
laws were enacted i'll 1852 imposing
heavy penalties upon the expectation of
wool. and for the encouragement of the
working up Of wool into cloth bounty
of six pounds of tobacco was provided
for every person making yard Of
wooden cloth, or linsey woolsey, three
| fourths of yard wide, and for every
dozen pairs of men S or women's WOODEN
or worsted hose bounty Of IL pounds
| Of tobacco was offered. The price of
/ wool was fixed at pence per pound for
| fleeces, washed before shearing. In 1857
Virginia passed AN act for the encourage
ment of domestic manufactures, includ-
| ing those from wool, which was rejected
by the king as hostile to English inter-
ests, for in her colonial policy England
was always selfish and cruel-a SOW
that devoured her own litter.
