There are some who think that because
the Democratic tariff thinkers have forsworn
their principles the patched measure now
under discussion will not prove very harm
full 10 the country. They could scarcely
be more mistaken. That idea is delusion
and a snare. Our farmers are to be placed
at the mercy of his Canadian neighbors !;
free lumber is to cut down the wages
in the lumber. manufacturing estab-
lishments without materially lowering
the price to the consumer. Sheep
husbandry will receive almost death blow,
but the category of troubles patched to-
gether in that senseless conglomeration is
tiresome to repeat but its baneful existence
must not be overlooked.

Can't Escape Condemnation.

Despite the apparent unwillingness of the
sugar trust investigating committee to 60
any deeper into matters than it feels abso-
lutely obliged to, enough is known to prove
that the facts in connection with framing
the sugar schedule are scandalous. We be-
lieve they will receive public condemnation.
Possibly the investigation will not afford
much material in the way of history for
future generations to read and from which
to learn Of the corruption of their ancestral
legislators. The people of today
who read the news have already passed
judgment. Mr.. Havemeyer and Mr..
Searles have told on the witness stand what
suited their purpose but when it came to
details they refused to testify. They told
what they wanted to and no more. They
tried to have it appear that they contributed
equally to both political parties, but they
would give no testimony which would
serve either to prove or disprove their
statements. They claimed or implied that
they would derive less benefit under the
German bill than they did under the Nc
Kiuley bill. This is false as everyone of
common sense knows and when they tried
to palm off such nonsense upon an intelli-
gent public they "gave their case away"
When provision was made in the Mckinley
bill for protecting refners there was
competition. Now there isn't. There
are meme now to question the au-
thority of the sugar trust, no competition to
lower the prices, nothing to hinder it from
putting its corruption fund where it might
serve its scandalous ends the better. And
it's very evident where they put that fund
or the bulk Of it at the last election. Let
Mr.. Havemeyer disprove it if he can. The
public jury is satisfied that it went into
the hands of the Democratic politicians it
is just a. sure that the trust has in the Cor
man bill what it expected to get if the Demo-
cratic party came into power; it knows that
the trust is ready to clear up over forty
millions Of dollars when that German bill
shall become law, if it does. Why didn't
the investigating committee instead Of talk
ing about making the newspaper
correspondents testify as to their
sources of information compel Mr..
Havemeyer to answer the pertinent
questions which he declined to? He might
say As did Mr.. Van Allen that he contributed
nothing to the campaign for which he
should be rewarded. People didn't believe
that in the case of Mr.. Van Allen who gave
$50, 700. How much did members of the
sugar trust contribute toward that
campaign fund? Prove that there wasn't
enough given "to make it an object" for the
opulent trust to expect return favors and
perhaps the people may believe what Mr..
Haveymer says. As it is now they are
willing to believe most anything of the bar.

scandal should not be forgotten nor con-

Although the Young Mems Christian
association has long been stronger in this
country than in Europe, the international
conference of the organization has never
met here. The chief deterrent reason has
been the great cost of bringing nearly
1000 delegates from all parts of the world
to the United States. This expense would
fall largely upon the associations on this
side of the Atlantic, and they are hardly
ready to shoulder it.

4 Year Of Democratic Rule.
(Philadelphia Inquirer. J

The statement that one year of Democ-
racy has cost the nation more money than
the entire Civil War is being denied by
Democratic organs. Let US see about that.
The expenses of the army and navy de-
partments from 1S61.G6 were about 49,
500. 100000. The payments for pensions
have been q little over 81, 500 900 900, or
S. 900, 900, 900 in all as the cost of the
war Bradstreet's published by the COM
mercial agency, in a recent number gave
the following figures for the volume
of trade of the whole nation for
nine months in 1892 and in 1893 and for
January, 1894. as follows:
Ten months, April '92. to January,
49, inclusive. .$5l, 100, tx, 224
Ten months. April, 90. to January,
~ inclusive. Al, $40, 05S 671
This 10 twice the cost of the Civil War.
and so far from any great principle being
the result of that expenditure there has
come nothing but misery and want to the
nation. These are figures that do not lie.
This is not partisanship; it is a fact.
