The New York Press declares that the
Republican party is in favor of free sugar
and a bounty to sugar growers, and
promises that Tin 1896, when the republic
cans return to full power" one of the
first things they will do will be TO make
sugar free, and give the growers a bounty
This declaration is commended to the at
teption of those raisers of scent cotton
and 5O-cent wheat who helped the Repub-
hcan party into power at the last election.
The republicans do not contemplate giving
the growers of cotton and wheat bounty.
Notwithstanding there is no profit in cot
ton and wheat production-but accord
ing to the Press. they will tax the cot
ton and wheat producers for the benefit
OF the sugar producers; provided that the
Republican party comes into power in
1886. If the cotton and wheat producers
are wise they will see to it that the Re
publican party fails to come into power in
1896

Republioans condemn ndcKinleyism.

Such republican leaders as ex-Speaker
Reed. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and
Representative Babcock do not hesitate
to say that it is not the purpose Of the
Republican party to attempt 10 make
any changes in the tariff in the near fu-
ture. They are very safe in making a state
ment OF that kind. The Republican party
couldn't enact any tariff legislation in
the direction OF McKinleyism while Mr..
Cleveland is President. and his term will
not expire until March. 1897. And IL is
by no means certain that the Republican
party will be in a position 10 make
changes In the tariff after that time. As
favorable as TO the outlook now is for the
republicans in the campaign Of 1896 the po-
litical situation may undergo a great
change before that campaign is ended.
The great mass Of the people are pretty
well satisfied with the Wilson tariff. They
would be better satisfied if the recon-
mendatlon OF the President relative to
the refined sugar diferential and the dis
eliminating duty against German sugar
should be adopted, but even with those
Objectionable features remaining they
would dislike very much to see an effort
made to restore the Mckinley tariff.
The republicans leaders are aware of
the feeling Of the people about this matter,
and they will be extremely careful not 10
antagonize it. What they want above all
things now is to get control of the
executive branch of the government and
10 ,o+,g,, ,,,,tro1 % congraes rTbex- will do
nothing, Therefore. that would likely jeop-
ardize their chances for accomplishing
their purposes.
1t is about certain that there will be lit
tie or no more tariff legislation for at
least three years. But, it is asked. if the
republicans should elect the President and
a majority of congress in 1896 would they
not yield to the demand of the high pro-
lection barons and restore the Mckinley
tariff? There are those who think they
would, but the better opinion is that they
would not. The high protective system
has received a set back from which it
will not soon recover. The business of the
country will have become so completely
adjusted to the Wilson tariff before the
republicans viii be in a position to
change that tariff that it would
not be possible to change it with
out arousing an opposition that
would be extremely dangerous to
the supremacy Of the Republican
party. Changes might be made in the
duties on a few articles, but it is pretty
safe to say that it will be a long time
before there will be a serious attempt to
revise the tariff.
The sole aim Of the republican leaders
for the next two years will be to make
their party popular. They will therefore
do nothing calculated to disturb business.
and they viii adopt policies which they
think will please the greatest number of
people. There will be no more tariff re-
vision for good while.

The Prince Walked In.

A few years ago, says the New York
Mail and Express. a well known physi-
clan OF this city, while visiting Paris, at
society event-to which there was admis-
sion only by invitation. He presented him
self al the door with ticket made out in
the name of his friend, Prince Orloff of
the Russian embassy.
But this ticket is not yours; it is Prince
Orloff's, and it is not transferable" said
the doorkeeper, as he barred the way
We'll, am l not Prince Orloff," asked
the doctor
No, sir; we know very well that Prince
Orloff has only one eye. The other is
glass"
We'll stupid, how about this?" said
the doctor. as he took his own glass eye
out and held il in his hand for inspection
"Oh, I beg your highness pardon" said
the doorkeeper. walk right in"
The man had by a singular chance hit
upon the only respect in which the prince
and the doctor resembled each other.
Queer coincidence wasn't it?

There is somewhere in this country, or
somewhere else, a so-called liberty bell'
made of jewelry, coins, buckles, buttons
and odds and ends of metals of revolu-
tionary times. The bell was cast at Buff
falo, N. Y, year or so ago. for the es-
pecial purpose of visiting all the EXPOSE
tions and ''proclaiming liberty in all
lands. The whereabout of the bell at
present. or the names of it's guardians,

exposition purpose, in case they fail to
secure the old original liberty belr' from

To rest beneath her dimpled chin

The rapture that had slumbered long.
My ear against her swelling breast
Should hearken to its sweet unrest

How, deep beneath that drifted snow,
A blissful tumult in her heart
Made all her fluttering pulses start

Next years cotton Crop.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Times-Democrat points American cotton
planters to a plan whereby they may get
all the cotton they could possibly desire at
a price that many of them consider to be
below the cost of production, and without
undergoing any of the worry of planting
or harvesting. Says he: Cotton can be
bought in Liverpool for October and No
vember, 1885. that is. next year, at 81
pence. equal to about AZ cents in the in
terror of the south. Thus the cotton
grower has before him the cheerful pros
pect of already knowing that Liverpool
will sell him American cotton of next
years growth at AZ cents before he has put
the seed in the ground that is to grow the
crop of next year"
That the correspondent is correct in
quoting Liverpool futures can be verified
by reference to the daily market reports
For some time the reports to the Morning
News from Liverpool have run along in
about this strain: "Futures-American
middling. low middling clause December.
26Sd3.OO; December and January, 26SdS.OO
January and February, 2.63aS,OO; February
and March, 300u301; March and April.
S.OlQ3.02; April and May. S.oS. buyers; May
and June. 304a3.O5; June and July, 3.O6,
buyers; July and August, 3.O7G3Os; August
and September, 800, sellers" The frac7
tons represent sixty-fourths of one penny.
The January-February quotations above
made on Dec. 13-are equivalent to less
than cents at American interior planta-
lions, and the August-September quota
tions are about equivalent to as cents.
The Times-Democrat's correspondent in
sists that if a crop equal to that of the
present year should be produced next year,
it would force Liverpool for October-No-
vember, 1885, down to to 21k pence, equal
to and S1a cents at interior points in the
south"
The growers say there is no money for
them in cotton at cents a pound. If they
are correct, and the Times-Democrat's cor
respondent also is correct the planters had
better go slow about their next crop. In
deed, it might be found profitable for
them to raise their next crop in Liver
pool. at and around pence per pound, and
let their farms rest for year.

forces and powers of the country have
common sense and prudence favor it. The
interests of the south demand it, The

treasury the gold they paid into it for

is being exported, the bulk of that which
has been drawn out has not been for ex-
port. The banks appear to be building up
their gold reserves at the expense of the

On the face of the returns, the republi-
cans will have a majority of one in the
Senate of the new legislature of West Vir-
ginia. One of the republican senator's
elect is the prosecuting attorney of his
county. If he takes his seat in the Senate
he must give up his Office as prosecuting
attorney. The county office pays a good
salary; the legislative Office pays very lit
tie. 1t would be to the peCuniary interest
of the senator-elect to resign the senator
ship. But if he were to do that Steve
Elkins prospects of going to the United
States Senate would be jeopardized; the
democrats might elect the senator's sue
cessor. In this emergency. according to
the Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Record, "it is believed in Washington
that Mr.. Elkins or ex-senator Henry c.
Davis, his father-in-law, will make it to
the advantage of Mr.. Lockney to stay in
the Senate and resign his office as prosecut-
ing attorney" There is where the advan-
tage of having a bar'l comes in in politics.

Advice to Florida Orange Growers.


Commenting on a letter written by
Florida orange grower. complaining that
there is no profit in oranges at present
prices, the New York Sun declares that
the growers will have to form associa-
tions for the growing and handling of the
fruit. 1t is said that the crops of the large
Florida orange growers are profitable this
year while the small growers are hardly
making expenses. Why this is so is APP
parent The cost of caring for a small
grove and marketing the crop is greater in
proportion to the return from the crop
than ia the cost of caring for a larger
grove ana marketing the fruit from it.
1t is probable that in associations, such
as the fruit farmers of California have
formed the owners of small groves would
stand a much better chance than they now
do of getting reasonably fair incomes from
their groves.
1t seems a little remarkable that the cot
ton farmer should be told that his chance
of success lies in the direction of smaller
farms while in orange growing in Florida
big groves and big associations are thought
to be necessary in order TO realize profit
from the fruit.
The truth doubtless is that the same adj
vice is equally good for both kinds of
farmers. Cotton farmers are advised to
plant only a small portion of their land in
cotton, and to raise their own food crops.
In this way they hardly know that their
cotton costs them anything. 1t is a sur
plus crop and provides them with the
money they need.
If the orange growers should follow the
same plan as far as practicable they could
stand pretty low price for oranges and
still have a fair margin of profit. If
orange growing were made side industry
there would be fewer complaints that it is
not profitable.
There are complaints that the Florida
oranges are not as good this year as they
were in previous years. 1t is probably true
they are not as sweet. The reason is, how
ever, that they do not reach their best con-
dition until they have been touched by
frost Thus far this year December has
been a remarkably warm month.

distribution, just as the scales are a nee
essary part of the grocer's outfit. The me-

A year or so ago when the average Sa-
MAMMALIAN found himself in possession
of a copper cent he felt tempted to flip
the little coin into the gutter as a nui-
sance. Cents were unpopular; nobody
wanted them; even the newsboys and the
bootblacks disdained to waste time in
waiting for cent in change. But things
are different now. The little copper coin
cuts quite figure in the city's circulation,
and is as much respected as the more pre-
tentious nickel Hardly a person fishes
up a handful of change in which there
is not a plentiful sprinkling OF bronze
color. The reduced street car fares and
the odd-cent prices in some of the leading
stores have brought about the change.
And it is probably good thing. People
have come to understand the value Of a
cent better than they ever did before.
