ROAST BEEF AND sTUFFING.

Congressman Wilson Is Dined In London.
but Mckinley Is Cheered at Home.
Congressman Wilson, the noted ex-
ponent of free trade in the United
States. was banqueted last month by
the chamber Of commerce in London.
This is an honor conferred by the Brit
ish in recognition of the very valuable
services rendered their country in the
congress of the United States through
the efforts of Mr.. Wilson and his allies
in framing tariff bill to favor foreign
manufacturers.
It is significant fact that the author
of the Mckinley law received the COM
mendations of his own countrymen,
while the free trade champion is lion
lied abroad.
By aiding in the reduction of tariff
duties Mr.: Wilson has given great i'm
petus to English manufactures and
caused much depression to those Of his
native land. It is quite natural that the
London chamber of commerce should
rejoice, but it is unnatural that any true
American should.share in such celebra-
tion. Yet in the list of invited guests
were the names of ambassador Bayard,
Mr.. Secretary Morton, Congressman Is
ador Straus and other prominent Amer
leans. They doubtless shouted them
selves hoarse with the happy Britons
over the great good luck that has befall-
en- the united kingdom and the CORE
spending i'll fortune that has befallen
their native country.

Sugar Planters Aroused.

Since the passage Of the Sugar trust
tariff the planters Of Louisiana, who
have devoted their energies for more
than 100 years to the production OF
sugar, are now up in arms everywhere.
The Democratic party with all it's pres
tige is not able torestrain this uprising
These planters and the thousands of peo-
pie dependent upon them, together with
lawyers, bankers, brokers, merchants,
manufacturers and representatives Of
labor in all departments, have signified
by the late uprising and the splendid
organization they are perfecting their
intentions of refuting the Sugar trust
tariff enacted by the late Democratic
congress. Better things are yet to come.
The people are to be congratulated.
Shams and professions will no longer
answer the purpose. The people cannot
be deceived. Protection and sugar pro-
duction are handmaidens in our great
industrial country, and the party who
strikes down this great enterprise can
not remain in power. Louisiana will be
represented in the next congress by men
who cannot be persuaded to strike down
the sugar industry.

False Prophet Again.

It is about time that the New York
Herald gave up it's business as proph-
ct, for a bigger fool prophet never
wasted printers ink. We remember the
marvellous prosperity that was to follow
the repeal of the Sherman silver pur-
chasing law, and we remember the mar
velous prosperity that didn't follow it.
Still later the settlement Of the tariff
question by Democracy was to work in
Simultaneous miracles Of abundance for
everybody, according to this fool proph-
ct. Yet soon after its pet bill to reduce
the wages of American labor down to
the French rate had become a law we
find the following headlines in the I'M
reliable sheet:
WALL STREETS SETBACK.
A REACTION IN STOCKS FOLLOWS THE ENACT
MENT OF THE NEW TARIFF LAW.
NO INSTANT REVIVAL IN MANUFACTURING OR
TRADE CIRCLES REFLECTED IN
THE MONEY MARKET.
The Herald can hardly be called one
Of Goods prophets Of the beautiful, !"
but rather Of the ridiculous.

Too Poor to Buy Pianos.

The manufacturers of musical instru-
ments are interested in the tariff ques-
ton. The Music Trades has been inter-
viewing members Of the trade, such as
George Steck & Co., the Pease Piano
company, the Needham Piano Organ
company, Newman Bros, James &
Holmstrom. and others. The opinion
prevailed that while business might i'm
prove temporarily there could not pos
sibly be general prosperity in the trade
until protection was firmly re-establish-
ed, and that the tariff is still far from
settled. The situation is summed up as
follows:
OF what avail is it to q piano maker,
for instance, that he can buy his felt.
hardware and other material cheaper,
that his wage account is so many hun
dreds or even thousands less every
month, if the purchasing power Of the
people is SO reduced that where he used
to sell 30 to IS pianos week he can
now only sell 10 to Is?

Average Loss Of
net income protection

These are some of the principal truck
crops that farmers grow, and in the last
column they can see the loss per acre of
their net income that they may expect
under the German tariff during an aver
age season when drought or too much
rain has not spoiled any crop and Great
ed scarcity. 1t is certainly not very
cheering prospect for the farmers, but
they must remember that the Democrats
want to buy cheap, SO they encourage
competition from foreign farmers, SUCH
as the potato and onion men Of Ber-
muda, who may also send us tomatoes
and other stuff. The farmer in Canada
will have rich harvest in the Ameri-
can markets with his beans, cabbages,
celery, potatoes and stuff. We shall get
more Dutch cabbages and more potatoes
from England, Scotland and Germany.
In 1898 we imported over 5000, 900
bushels Of these few farm crops and
paid over 1000, 900 to foreign farm
ers. This money should have been paid
to American farmers. We should not
send single dollar out of the country
for any farm stuff. But the Democrats
do not care for the American farmers,
so they reduce the duties to help their
friends in Bermuda, Canada and Eu-
rope. The farmers of New England, the
Atlantic and middle states, must get
ready for this foreign competition.
When truck comes into the large east.
ern markets from Europe, Bermuda and
Canada; when it swarms over our north
ern borders, then out farmers must sell
for less money to meet the competition
or else ship their stuff farther away to
the west and south into other markets
that have been supplied by other farm
ers. This will increase the expense by
heavier freight bills It will lower val.
ues by the greater competition. Itwon't
pay to grow some stuff in some sections,
and there will be more land for other
crops, again increasing their supply:
Here are the number of people who are
employed in each trucking district OF

Why Sugar Has Not Advanced.

The wholesale sugar merchants of the
United States, under direction of the
Sugar combine or trust, have published
q circular, by authority: of the Demo
cratic national committee, showing that
the price of sugar has not advanced.
This confirms the statement lately pub
lished by us that there was all agree
ment between the Sugar trust and the
Democratic party that the price of sugar
should not be advanced pending the
general election this fall, but the con-
tract was not binding upon the retail
dealers. They, fully understanding that
the price Of sugar was to be advanced
after the election, have already ad-
vanced the price to about l cent per
pound, SO that they may share in the
profits that otherwise would have &C.
orued to the Sugar trust and the Demo-
cratic campaign fund. Let the people
wait till after the election and see
whether we have not told the truth
about this matter. The price Of sugar
must and will go up under the opera
lions of the Sugar trust tariff.
