OF an honest tariff when he charged
the creation of the sugar trusts ard

though this bill does not destroy That
trust. as we wish it did. il takes away

publican trust which n Democratic
congress had stripped in part % its
power and of its enormous profits
The iron orc trust ard the coal

them to rob the people by extortion

of oppressive and unconscionable

Republican tariff history shows the
means by which the sugar trust was
created. Under the tariff of 1883 tho
duty was one cent and two mills pei
pound for raw sugar and three cents
and five mills per pound for refined
sugar. The differential tariff by which
the sugar trust was created amounted

Ida asked. "What is the feeling Of
lover" Answer: Love is very com
plex and complicated coordination OF
sensations There are more frost and
fever, more bliss and agony, more smiles
and tears and more exhilaration and des-
peration to the square inch in love than
in all the other experiences of the hu-
man family. Philosophers and sages
have tried in vain, ever since the world
began, to find out just exactly what it
is It is altogether likely that Ida could
answer the question quite as well as the
