we will retaliate on the products of

The immediate and visible effects
are seen in an increase from 800 to 500
per cent. in farmers products, and
about 200 per cent in many manufac-
tured products Then. too, this is only
beginning; there are other countries
in which we have done as well. and

porous; all through Kansas and the
northwest. and even California, large
acreages have been planted in sor-
ghum and beet root, more especially
the latter, and we are on the high way
to realizing the prophecy of recent
English visitor, to the effect that III
the United States continue their meth
cd of free imports and bounties, they
will. within ten years, produce in their
own domain all, or nearly all, the
sugar they require"
The cost of the bounty paid on sugar
In the past year was less than ten mil
lions of dollars. By its aid we have
fostered the sugar industry within our
borders, and given it an impetus which
will steadily increase if the present
legislation be retained.
BY the Wilson-VoOrhees bill, while
1t is difficult to say exactly how far
they have yielded to the sugar trust, it
is safe to say that duties amounting
to nearly fifty millions per annum will
be imposed upon this article of prime
necessity. This will not only increase
the price to the amount of eighty
cents per annum to every man, woman
and child in the United States, but it
will also wipe out all our domestic in
dustries in this line and render US, in
the future, entirely dependent on our
importations.
We have sugar trust already suff-
GENTLY powerful to dictate to the
democratic committee in the senate
and shape legislation on this bill to
suit their purposes If this bill passes
they will not only be able to manipu-
late in New York but also through
their foreign connections to absolutely
control the output from Cuba and Ger
many.
1t is an admitted fact that this sugar
trust of New York city importers, half
of whom are foreigners and all of
whom are free trade democrats. have
already secured control Of the entire
sugar product of Cuba, Porto Rico and
Brazil for the next two years and of
one-half at least of the German export.
They have already in bond in New
York more than SOC. 900 tons, to be en-
tered free under present law, then be
refined and sold at an increase of
price because, for the future, democratic
free trade and sugar trusts will impose
a duty of about one cent per pound.
The trust will clean up" just %, OO0, 900
by this deal alone. all of which will
come out o: the dear people.
As sugar is vital article of Domestic
economy all this legislation Is matter
deserving most careful consideration
by the American people.

MAKING HOME HAPPY.
The Grsndcst Task Any Woman or MaB
Can Undertake.


Can Undertake.
One of the most important requisites
for a happy home is self-control. es-
pecialIy good command over temper
and tongue. There are many occasions
when the peace of family might be
preserved by timely recollection of
the proverb that silence is golden"
Many of the efforts necessary for the
preservation of peace and happiness in
the home circle are of a negative kind,
and consist in refraining from the
things that jar on others, such as rude
ness, impotence, fault-fnding and
other lesser foxes that spoil the
vine" Yet this negative work Is as
important as the most energetic exer-
tons of bustling activity, perhaps even
more so.
1t is of great Importance that cour-
tesy be strictly observed in the family
circle. 1t is the lubricating oil that
makes the jarring machinery of life go
on smoothly. Insist on your children
observing the rules of politeness
towards each other as strictly as to-
wards strangers Above ali, let hus-

other, and the children will easily
and naturally imbibe the same spirit
and form the same habit Innocent
amusements are one of the elements
of happy home. and none is more re-
filming than music We should culti-
vate as fine art the habit of talking
cheerfully and good humoredly in the
family Understanding barassing and
depressing topics, except when it is alb
solutely necessary to introduce them
A little social enjoyment is necessary
in order to complete the circle of homo
happiness 1t is not right always to
seclude ourselves in the privacy Of
home. We should sometimes open tho
doors. and admit others to share its
pleasures and comforts In doing this
we will receive as much as we give, for
it will enlarge the circle of our ideas,
our affections and our sympathies-
Flower culture is a great addition to
the happiness and general attractive
ness of q home. Indeed, no place
seems thoroughly homelike without
their lovely and fragrant forms. Be
ing pursuit that is carried on in the
fresh air and sunshine, flower culture
adds to our health. besides gratifying
our taste and inclinations.
But when all is summed up, IL seems
to me that the great value of home life
lies in something better than even hap
piness itself. 1t gives us the finest and
best discipline life could possibly af-
ford. 1t teaches, if we will receive it's
training aright-lessons of unselfsh
love. patience, for5earance. forgive
ness, self abnegation, and other lovely
virtues and graces, such as no other
school on earth could possibly afford.

SINGEIN0 THE HAIR.

The Orthodox Modern Treatment for
Rough Tresses-Custom of Clipping the
Ends Every New Noon II Now Obsolete
smuggling Increases Vitality Of the Hair
and Revives Growth.
Various modes of washing and
styles of massage are claimed to ben
eft the hair and cure it Of i'll color
and weak growth; but for forked
ends, SNAKE tongues" as some women
call the splitting of the ends of the
hair, there seems to be now but one
accepted remedy. This Is smuggling"
To clip the ends every new moon was
the old custom Every woman could
do it for herself, and in that act con-
sisted the entire scientific care of the
hair a decade ago. But it never was
very successful; the hair with a ten
dency to split went right on splitting.
Singeing generally stops the trouble,
Some of its advocates claim that the
old, ignorant method of clipping left the
little hollow tubes of the hairs open,
while singeing leaves them closed,
stopped" in natural state. But this
is an exceedingly fine poinE of oon-
tention-
Singeing, unfortunately, cannot be
done by a woman for herself Nor can
two women do it very satisfactorily
for each other, unless they happen to
be trained hair dressers-
Women who are in the habit of hav-
ing their hair attended to" advise the
singeing process once month Many
say that their own experience goes to
show that it acts upon the hair as
pruning does upon a plant-increases
its vitality and revives its growth
This treatment is now given the hair
at all first-class hair-dressing estab-
Gshments here and abroad, while many
women have 4 standing appointment
with some fayorite expert for treat
ment in her own dressing-room once a
month.
The approved process at one very
fashionable Partisan hair dresser's is
exceedingly simple, yet not safe in un-
trained hands. The hair is loosened
and shaken ont, and the maid runs
over It with a lighted taper, touching
all the projecting ends. A fash here
and flash there and you are singed.

4 Striking Example Of It's Eject Upoa
Foreign Trade.
The reciprocity clauses of the Mo
Kinley bill are the direct result of Mr..
Blaine's insistance when that bill was
| under consideration. We all remem-
Der the famous incident where Mr..
Blaine, in emphasizing his opinion on
this subject, utterly ruined his hat It
is great pity that there are not some
patriotic democrats who could afford
to sacrifice a tile or two now that the
Wilson-Voorhees bill is under con-
sideration.
Let us see what the result of this
provision has been in our trade to
Cuba The arrangement was concluded
and went partially into effect Septem-
Der 1. 1891, but did not have full effect
in all its parts until July 1, 1892.
The question to be answered is:
Have the reduced duties conceded
to us in Cuba. by Spain, enabled our
farmers and manufacturers to find an
increased market in that country for
their products?'
In the congressional record, page
1922, of April 25, 1894. is list of more
than eighty lines showing our total
exports to Cuba, for the fiscal years
ending June 80, 1891 and 1873. 1t will
be noted that the reciprocity clauses
were not in operation at all in the first
year and had only begun to have full
effect the first day of the second year,
Let us take few of the principal
articles in the order of their amounts
to see If two facts cannot be demon
strated.
First, That the trade has markedly,
notably, greatly increased.
Second: That this increase has been
of as great benefit to the farmers in
affording an increased market for their
products as to the manufacturers in
furnishing an increased market for
theirs.
The first article Is lard. In the first
year we sent s2,079, 5S4; in the second
year s4,023.917, an increase of more
than 100 per cent.
The second item on the list Is wheat
-four and, while this manufactured
product, no one will deny that so
great an increase in the exports of
wheat -four must of necessity in
crease the demand for the wheat from
which it is produced. In the first year
1891, $50; in the second year, 81, sci ,557,
an increase of more than 400 per cent.
We would not require many such items
as that to show the value of reciprocity.

ESee-Trade Democrats Working In tbs In

The American people are practically
interested in everything relating to
the cost and the consumption of sugar.
IL enters directly into the domestic
economy of every family. The in
crease or decrease of one or two cents
In a pound is felt Immediately from one
end to another of this broad land.
It has been our misfortune that We
have been almost entirely dependent
for this staple of life upon the importa-
lions from foreign countries. In case
of war, quarantine or other unforeseen
disasters, diminution of the supply
would cause scarcity, increase prices
here and bring much suffering. Be-
cause of this fact our wisest statesmen
have long sought by all proper means
to foster its production. more especial
" in Louisiana. Unfortunately, how
ever, it has been found impossible to
raise it there in competition with the
coolie and slave labor of Cuba and
other countries.
Within recent years experiments
have shown that sugar could be made
from sorghum cane. and considerable
industry has been developed in Kansas
and other western states where farm
ers have produced large quantities of
this article. More recently still the
development of the beet root sugar in
dusuy has been fostered in nearly
every state between the Mississippi
and the Pacific. Various states have
passed laws facilitating this work; ex-
tensive plants for the manufacture of
sugar have been erected and farmers
throughout this area have suddenly
found themselves favored with a good
and cash market for large and very
important crop.
The Mckinley bill recognized all
these conditions and at the same time
gave full weight to the fact that sugar
must BE- free. To be sure, sugar is used
by the rich, but an increased price
caused by duties would not be SO gen.

and poorer classes. The problem was
to make sugar cheap and keep it
cheap, and, at the same time, foster
cane, sorghum and beet root products,
with view to making US, partially at
least, independent of foreign countries,
and give our farmers an additional
crop and product.
The success of this plan has been
notorious. Louisiana, for the first
time in fifty years, has become pros
