SELMA. Ala. Sept. 19.


 Solly Smith, the thug manager of the "Actor's Holiday" company, was In Selma today and circulated report here that he intimidated the AaE- HERALD into giving him complimentary notice of his per- formance in Birmingham. He also stated that he will return to Birmingham in the next few days for the purpose of "knock- ing out" the dramatic reporter of the Evening News of that city for writing a, detrimental account of the play. fl Smith said he had fought eighteen bat ties and had never been "worsted'' except by Dixon at New Orleans.

the second it was $263,956. But while
the Government has been getting al
most nothing, the transferred power to
tax the people has yielded an enor-
nous revenue to the Trust, and from
$S,009,O 900 to $4,000, 900 per annum to
the Louisiana growers. The revenue
obtained by the Trust through the
agency of this transferred taxing pow
er has been paid to the domestic grow
ers by the consumers through the
agency of the Government.
That the Trust has taken full advan-
tage of the taxing power transferred
to it from the Government by the Re-
publican Party is clearly shown by the
admission eff its officers and the great
profits either divided among its share
holders or retained in it's treasury.
The President of the Trust said in his
statement, published on March 25 as
advertisement in this city:
ITO obtain this profit it has been
necessary to keep the price of refined
sugar at the importing point"
That is to say, the Trust had exact
ed from consumers all of the tax of 60
cents per hundred pounds which the
Mckinley tariff empowered it to col
lect.
The Protective tariff League points
to the Treasury Departments estimate
that our total consumption of sugar in
1893 was 4,343, 200, 500 pounds. This
we suppose is raw sugar. If we assume
that the quantity of refined sugar con-
sumed was $3.50, OO0,0 900 pounds, tax
of go cents per hundred would yield
about $23,000,0O0. This is the tax
which the makers of the Mckinley
tariff empowered the Trust to collect,
and the testimony we have quoted is
to the effect that it has been col
lected. The bounty paid in the fiscal
year 1898 was $9,375,0O0. We under
stand that the bounty for the fiscal
year 1894 was about $12,0OO,0OO. Add
ing one tax to the other, we have to-
tai of $35, 900, 900, about two thirds of
which was taken directly from the peo-
pie by the Trust, using the taxing
power granted to it by the Republican
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.
The American people did not 'se-
cure free sugar under the Mckinley
tariff" Under the preceding tariff the
consumers of sugar were paying tax
of $54, 900, 900 per annum to the Gov
eminent; under the Mckinley tariff
they have paid less than $4,000 to
| the Government, and from $4,000, 000
to $35, 600, 900 to the Sugar Trust and
| the subsidized domestic sugar growers.

McKinley's Free Sugar.

The N. Y. Times says the organs OF
the party which gave to the Sugar
Trust four years ago, by the Mckinley
tariff, the power to collect from the
people sugar tax of go cents per hun
dred pounds, are now saying that the
people obtained ''free sugar" by means
of that legislation. We find the fol
lowing, for example, in the latest issue
of the American Protective Tariff
Leagues weekly paper
"Under the Mckinley tariff the
American people have secured free
sugar. The Treasury Department es-
timated our population, July 1, at g..
397, 200 persons, the per capita consump-
ton of sugar at 634 pounds, and our
total consumption of sugar at 4 ,343 ,209.
500 pounds"
But the American people did not Sc
cure free sugar under the Mckinley
tariff 1t is true that the Republican
Party cut off the old duty on raw su-
gar, thus depriving the Public Treas
ury of about $54,OOO,OOO in revenue
which had been paid by consumers to
the Government for public use; but at
the same time it empowered the Sugar
Trust to levy and collect from consum-
ers tax of 6-10 of cent pound, and
gave to the sugar growers of Louisiana
a bounty which amounted last year to
about $12,00O,000
Under the old tariff the Govern
ment had been collecting about $54,
100000 per annum in revenue by means
of the tax on sugar. The Republican
Party surrendered this public revenue
and transferred a great part of the
Governments taxing power, so far as
sugar was concerned, to the Trust and
the Louisiana sugar growers. Since
the enactment of the Mckinley tariff
the Governments revenue from sugar
has been almost nothing. In the last
year of the oldtariff it had been $54,
900, 900; in the first full year of the Nc
niniey act it was only s76,795, and in

A few minutes before five o'clock the

Theatre, where a gala performance
was to be given in his honor. The

cheering crowd that filled the street,
was moving slowly, and NJ. Carnot was
