GETTING READY FOR TRADE.
st. Louis Merchants Now Taking
Goods Out of Bond.
(By Associated Press.

(By Associated Press)
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 16.-Wholesale dry
goods merchants expect a still further
revival of trade now that a tariff bill
has been passed. Wholesale dry goods
and wholesale hardware merchants OF
this city have had thousands upon thou
sands of dollars worth Of imported
goods lying in bond for several moHths
while waiting to see what the outcome
Of the tariff legislation would be. and
these goods will be Withdrawn from bond
as quickly as possible and are to be
thrown on the market.
Merchants have figured that the pass
age of a tariff bill lowering the duties
would fully compensate them for the
loss Of time and for the interest on their
to remain In bond. The result was that
they only withdrew just the amount of
goods that they absolutely needed for
months past; but now there Is rush OF
preparation to get their goods out OF
bond.

goods and other goods arrived here yes.
terday alone. 1t IL roughly estimated
that the duties under the Mckinley law
on the large amount OF foreign goods
that have been lying In bond here would
not be less than 100000; but duty OF
those goods will be paid under the new
Tariff bill when 1t becomes law. and 1t
least 100000. The bulk of the goods lying
In bond consists of woollens. linens. hos
iery and other dry-goods and cutlery
and guns in the line of hardware.

SUGAR AND REVENUE.

According to Secretary Carlisle the al
Tentative before the American people is
either q deficit in the Treasury of the
United States or a surplus in the treas
ury OF the Sugar Trust. II we do not
wish to put ten million dollars a year
In the swollen and plethoric pockets of
the sugar monopolists we must expect to
fall short OF our revenue needs by about
thirty million dollars.
This is a hard alternative, but the
American people have faced more seri-
GUS situations with success. II the
people were asked to give their opinion,
II a free and fair vote could be had on
the question. we believe that 1t would be
almost unanimous In favor of taking the
control OF the situation out OF the hands
OF the Sugar Trust, even II that would
compel them to 'ook for some other
source of revenue. Rarely has any
monopoly succeeded In making itself
more unpopular. more odlous and
absolutely detestable 20 the people than
II the throwing off of It's domination In
volved even a greater sacrifice than the
one suggested, we believe the people
would be glad to make It. There is
rothing sacred in tax on sugar. Be-
fore accepting the theory that We must
continue to pay tribute to this Trust as
he price of our fiscal equilibrium 1t
would be worth while to find out whether
this theory is correct. Why can we not
pay into the Treasury the duty on raw
sugar. II need be. and wipe out the diff
ferential on refined sugar, which has
not served the purpose for which It was
intended.

woMAN's WILL AND THE SUFFRAGE.

BY q sufficiently decisive though not
an overwhelming vote, the Constitu-
tional Convention has refused to grant
the boon Of the suffrage to women.
Probably this outcome of the struggle
at Albany does not come as \ surprise
to the majority of the people of the
State. regardless of sex. In Its appli-
cation to this question OF getting the
right to vote, the old saying that when
a woman will, she WILL" Is limited by
a doubt as to whether she really Wills.
1t Is not in evidence that tho larger
number OF members OF the gentler sex
want to become active politicians. even
to the extent of casting q vote. Peti-
lions favoring the cause of woman SUI
frage were presented at the Convention
bearing imposing arrays OF names. But
mere petitions. bearing no further evil
dence Of individual desires than too
easily procured and hastily scrawled
signatures, have ceased to bear extraor-
binary weight with deliberative bodies
on great questions.
What was lacking was q spontaneous
outburst on the part Of all womanhood-
the voice as OF one eager and earnest
claimant OF ballot-box privileges. There
were many Jealous advocates. including
noble women and thoughtful men. The
cause of extended suffrage was never
better or more strongly put before any
gathering than 1t was before that Con-
vention. But not once did 1t lose the
semblanco of a case argued rather by
counsel assigned for Indifferent clients
than by those sought out and engaged
especially by anxious seekers of Justice.
The evidence In daily life Ia far strong
er than any that was put into the special
pleading at Albany, and It Is to the ef-
feet that more women, by numbers I'M
told. than desire to share with men the
rule by ballot. are contented with n rule
which Is their own, unshared by any OF
the opposite sex-the rule of the home.

and for the better administration of af-
fairs social and political. 1t is best cast

And in her heart of hearts woman knows

American Kids Scheme.

To the Editor;
While 30 much 'bossism'' Il being brought
to light at the present time, all good-mnded
citizens must be thinking how politics can be
bettered. The following ideas are offered:
Most OF the political bosses are foreign born.
and consequently have little love for this country
When these people go into politics here they
do with the sole idea Of making a. much
out OF It as they possibly can do
They come here with the settled policies
OF foreign countries In their minds, and believe
that because tho countries from which they
como prosper under such policies they
are best. In these two facts lies the principal
cause OF much Of the present mlsrule.
Believing that among natural born Americans
more respect for the land We live in 10 held,
tho idea Is put forth for the formation Of an
American Native Political League. the objects
being to put moro natives In once from Alder
men up when practicable and when the League
would have power.
Much good could also be done BY fighting the
nominations OF either Of tho two great parties
when men not ct for once are nominated.
Another good plan would be to run candidates
for small Offices. and when they have served
In ONCE run them for one higher. Thus ex-
perance would be gained. which would b bsns-
fetal In running for some higher once.

The benent for the Sick Babies Fund
and the Childrens Aid Society at Proc
tors Theatre yesterday was certainly an
artistic success, and, 1t is to be hoped, a
financial success also. Just how much
was realized cannot be determined. UNI
til the tickets that were left on sale at
hotels, news-stands and other places all
over the city have been accounted for.
This will be done to-day. 1t could not
very well have been done yesterday, as
1t would have been unwise to have
called In the tickets on the day of the
show, especially when hotels are full of
people nowadays who are casting about
for entertainment
The house was only comfortably filled
yesterday, and the rain kept many
away in the evening. but several hun
dred dollars was taken in. This will be
swelled considerably when the returns
from the special tickets come in.
Many tickets were bought that were
not used and many kind-hearted and
generous people paid for tickets that
they did not intend to use. For in

eight merely to give away, and Alfred
Stone and Prof. Geo. p. Lehr took six
each for the same purpose.
The day tickets ordinarily were good
only till o'clock, but Manager Proctor
with his usual generosity took all that
were presented through the evening, and
they were many.

and who has been making a hit wherever
she appeared, made her second appear

lighted the audience.
Rexo and Reno, Annie Lawrence, the
Hyatts, James Maley and all the others
responded to encores.
Manager Proctor says he Is disappoint-
