after the law becomes operative with

Some Figures about Sugar.

The Philadelphia Record has been
compiling some figures on sugar,
and takes occasion to say that the
Sugar Trust has had full advantage
of the taxing power transferred to-
it from the Republican party. This
is clearly shown by the admissions
of it's own officers, and the enormous
profits have been either divided
among its shareholders or retained
in its treasury. 1t says the Protect
i've Tariff League points to the
Treasury Departments estimate that
our total consumption of sugar in
1893 was 4, S43, 200,500 pounds. This,
it is supposed, is raw sugar. II we
assume that the quantity OF re-
fined sugar consumed was $780,
900, 900 pounds, tax of 80 cents per
hundred would yield about 1923, 0O0,-
600 This is the tax which the
makers of the Mckinley tariff en-
powered the Trust to collect, and
the testimony shows that it has been
collected. The bounty paid in the
fiscal year 1888 was &c. 200. The
bounty paid in the fiscal year 1894
was about $4,000, 900. Adding one
tax to the other. we have total of
$50, 100000 about two thirds of
which was taken directly from the
people by the Trust, using the tax
ing power granted to it by the Re
publican party, while the remainder
was taken from the people by the
Government for the benefit Of the
domestic sugar growers and handed
over to them,
Under the preceding tariff the
consumers of sugar were paying
tax of $54, per annum to
the Government; under the McKin-
ley tariff they have paid less Than
s17O,00O to the Government, and
from $3O,0OO,O00 to $50, 900, 900 to
the Sugar Trust and the subsidized
domestic sugar growers.

The tariff bill passed at the presen

The tariff bill passed at the present
session of Congress. now in the hands
OF the President for his action, it is
now stated, is decided Improvement
on the Mills bill on which the Demo
Gratis made their fight in 1888, and if
that statement is not correct, no
Democrat, at all conyersant with its
provisions, disputes the fact that it
is an improvement on the Mckinley
bill Any change for the better there
fore cannot but be acceptable to all
true Democrats, and if the present
measure reduces the cost of living in
many instances and increases it in
but one as it is claimed it does, and
without doubt correctly, it will not
only be acceptable to them but can
successfully Withstand all the adverse
criticism which will be directed
against it by the Republicans. The
Democrats of the country are not so
foolish as to decline the favors ex-
tended to them under the present
bill, because not up to the full meas
ure, which they had the right to ex-
pect, if German and few other
Democrats had not been false to the
trust committed to them. They can
not but accept it and continue to the
party that passed it their support,
however unsatisfactory, if for no
other reason, that they can only hope
for better bill in the future through
continued Democratic supremacy.

SATURDAY. AUGUST 25, 1894.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H.. Va, rs second-class matter.

The next session Of Margaret Acad-
envy begins September 10th, and in
calling attention to that fact, we
cannot too heartily commend it TO
the patronage of our readers. We
give it our unqualified endorsement,
because in our opinion, it is not one
of the best, but the best preparatory
school In the State of Virginia, and
the word preparatory is meant by
us in no sense to convey the idea that
il is only school where the rudiments
are aught--they are taught there IN a
very efficient manner, but the school
has, in addition, q course OF instruc-
ton az thorough and comprehensive
as will be found at most Of the col
leges in the State of Virginia or else
where. In word, while pupils can
begin their studies in the primary
classes there, they can be prepared
there also to enter the best institu-
tions in the land, thoroughly equip
ped to sustain themselves and profit
by any advantages which may be
offered them. The necessity hardly
exists, except in rare instances, how
ever, OF seeking an education else
where If pupil will avail himself of
all the benefits of that school. In
endorsing SO strongly the Margaret
Academy, we wish to say, that it is
done without any suggestion from
the principal or anyone else, and
without any motive whatever, e1-
cept, to impress our readers with it's
excellence as school Of learning and
to counsel them, not to send their
boys and girls from home when they
can send them at so much less cost to
better school at home.

Good outlook at the South.

BALTIMORE, August 1e.-The
Manufacturers Record publishes
letters from 200 southern bankers,
scattered all the way from Maryland
to Texas, in regard to the business
conditions and crop prospects IN the
South. These letters report an I'M
agricultural and general business
interests. The decline in the price
of cotton two or three years ago
forced southern farmers who could
not continue to borrow money In
advance on their @ops as freely as
before to pay more attention to the
raising OF their own food supplies.
The result has been a steady de-
crease in the indebtedness OF south
ern farmers. Added to these favora-
BILE conditions they have the pros
pect OF the largest aggregate crops
