The Extension of the Sugar Bounty.


AS recently as April 2, 1894, the Hon.
Daniel W. Voorhees, presented to the SEN
ate the tariff bill prepared by the FL
nance Committee, of which he was and
is the chairman. In eulogizing the
sugar schedule of his bill, Mr.. VOORHEES,
was particularly severe upon the Nc
KinIey sugar bounty. He pointed out
once more the fact, repeatedly exhibited
upon the Democratic stump everywhere
except in Louisiana during the last presi-
DENTAL campaign, that sugar was not
free so long as the whole American
people were taxed in order to pay
bounty to the sugar growers. Mr.. Voor-
bees described this taxation as "the
meanest, most odious, unjust, unequal,
uh-American and unconstitutional tax
ever known in our history" "The
chief outrage of the sugar bounty tax"
added Mr.. Voorhees,, as his indignation
increased, Consists in the fact that not
dollar of it ever goes to the assistance
Of the government. 1t is taken from the
pockets of one class of people and paid
directly, without anything in return,
to another class. In the light of the con-
stitution," he went on, lit may safely be
asserted that worse legislation, in prin-
iciple and practice, than the bounty tax
now being paid on sugar never before
cursed the people of government calling
itself free, upright and enlightened"
We quote one more passage from Mr..
Voorhees's speech of only two months
ago:: Let the sugar quest on be not
misunderstood or misstated. The issue
here and before the country is Lu.~eu o-.e
Mckinley law, with it's unconstit utional
individual bounty plumber, already
amounting to over $12, 600, 900 year and
rapidly increasing, together with its
high protection for the Trust, on the one
hand. and on the other hand an old-fash-
toned tariff duty, two-thirds less than
the duty on sugar in the tariff of 1916,
every dollar raised for revenue, and
going into the Treasury as revenue, to-
gether with its sweeping reduction
against the Trust"
On June 5, Tuesday of this week, the
| same Hon. Daniel W. voorhees, voted on
the issue which he had so clearly defined
over one more sugar season the uncon-
stitutional individual bounty plumber.
taking more than $4,000, 600 from the
pockets of one class of people and pay
ing it, without any return, to another
class. He voted for high protection for
Ihe !rusG. not only Tor tha5, nut also
for the postponement till next year of
the revenue duty on raw sugars, thus
| voting $50, 900, 900 more into the pockets
of the Trust, and out of the Treasury of
the United States. And with him voted

| New York. The loss to the government
by that vote on sugar may be stated

Proper Site for House.
The site of a house should receive care
full attention of the tenant, purchaser or
of one proposing to build. A good site
may mean life and happiness, and bad
one disease, suffering and death. 1t
should be dry; avoid damp location.
In a town or city carefully ascertain
whether or not it is on made ground. u
Avoid it. Avoid ground underlaid with
clay, for it will always be damp. 1t
should be on hillside or knoll, never
in a hollow. The hillside is warmer
and drier than the hollow. Avoid a
swamp, slow river, mill dam or land
which is overlooked a portion of the Yea1
or place that the prevailing winds will
bring to the house pestilence from a
milldam, ETC. Choose as good neigh
borhood as possible, away from facto--
ries, saloons, ETC., and near schools and
churches, in a village or town built on
as large lot as possible, thus securing
air and sunlight. Build back from the
street, thus avoiding the dust OF the dry
season and the curious gaze OF every
passer. Secure yard in which trees and
plants will furnish both shade and
health. But beware of too much shade.
Do not select place where your family
will be isolated from all social inter
course, so necessary to health of mind
and body. For the aspect, let the house
be so placed that it will receive the most
sunlight and fresh air, especially from
the summer winds. Avoid, even il
offered rent free, a damp, dark house.
with no chance for the free air of heaven
TO sweep through it. If the house is
only one room deep it does well to face
it to the south or southwest, but if it is
two rooms deep those on the north sidt
never receive any sunlight and are apt
to be damp. For a double house it is
best to face the east.-Pacitic Journal.

Jangling Piano Strings.

Another case occurred in a house
where / was once stopping in Nova
Scotia. A piano with q bad note was
fixed by simply opening an inside shut
ter of a bay window at the opposite side
of a parlor from the piano, The latch Of
one shutter wa lightly resting against
the edge Of another and caused the jan
gle when one particular note was struck.
The Lady player had previously declared
that she would send for a tuner the next
day and laughed at my attempt to fir it
by hunting about the room while she
pounded. However, she did not conceal
her surprise when the trouble was re-
moved and admitted that there was
something about this sound business
that she did not quite understand.
In regard to locating these jangles,
however, / will say that it il not always
80 easy. 1t requires some practice before
b a becomes capable Of locating with
any degree of success the direction OF
sounds OF this kind. This was my ex-
p~erience with the first piano jangle,
that of the cracked globe, which was
quite difficult. That of the window
shutter was easier as well as many 9TH
ers which / have located since. A cor
