A Case off Too Much Sugar.

Yesterday. the annual meeting of
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, better known to fame as the
Sugar Trust, was to have been held
in this city. In the course of the pro-
ceedings, the annual reports of the
officers would have been presented.
These would have shown such en-
ormous profits reaped by the Trust
under the ''beneficent" operation of
the Mckinley system. that the mil
lionaire stockholders did not dare
allow the figures to BE- made public.
Therefore, instead of holding a
meeting. they went to Washington to
lobby against the Wilson bill.

meeting, they went to Washington to
lobby against the Wilson bill.
Thomas G. Sherman on Cheap Shirts.
A day or two ago, we made allusion
to the admirable speech delivered by
Mr.. Thomas G. Shearman at Troy in
exposure of McKinleyism and in vim
dication of the Wilson bill. Much of
what he said vas rather of local i'm
portance to the shirt, collar and cuff
operatives of Troy, than of general
interest. But there is in the general
outline of his argument a backbone
of principle and logic, which is APP
plicable, with a few alterations of
words and figures, to almost every in
dustry. As we find his speech ably
summarized in american Industries,
he argued thus:-The Mckinley tariff
places a duty of % per cent. ud
CdJorean upon shirts. and duties that
average about 65 per cent. upon col
lars and cuffs. 1t also places a duty
of so per cent. latter January 1, 1894
upon linen. There is then only 5 per
cent. difference between the duty on
shirts and the duty on linen, and only
10 per cent. difference between the
duty on collars and cuffs and the duty
upon linen.
The Wilson bin proposes to reduce
the duty on shirts, collars and cuffs
to IS per cent, and ON linen to 80 per
cent, leaving the same difference on
shirts in favor of the manufacturers.
On collars and cuffs the manufactur-
ers will lose 10 per cent of protection.
which equals 6 per cent of the Troy
value. As the labor cost of collars
and cuffs is only one-third of the en-
tire value OF the goods, labor could not
lose on this account more than 2 cents
In the dollar. But as half of the linen
workers of Troy are at work upon
shirts, the average loss of all will be
only / cent in the dollar; or s cents
per week, if, as is claimed, wages
average IS.
The workers, however, will not lose
even s cents per week; though they
could well afford to lose more than
this amount when they can obtain
their dresses, gloves, hats, house
furnishing goods, ETC., at much less
than present prices. They will not
lose the s cents because the reduced
prices on shirts, collars and cuffs in
consequence of reduced duties, will
cause Increased consumption and in
creased demand for workers with the
usual results of steady employment
and higher wages.
1t is highly creditable to the work
ing people of Troy that they listened
to this argument with attention,
grasped it with intelligence and APP
plauded and endorsed it with
enthusiasm. Working people who
study out their own inter-
ests instead of taking their be-
liefs ON trust from greedy bosses
will find that the Wilson bill affects
every industry in the same way. Its
effect is to stimulate every legitimate
industry in the country.

The parson prayed for some time, then pre-
pared to rise.
THAT amt enough" shouted Spot, flour
ishing the revolver. 'I'll be hanged ef I'm
not goin' to have enough prayin to last me
week and here's all these boys amt been
prayed for yet"
So the parson resumed his prayer. Several
times he attempted to finish and arise, but
every time Spot compelled him TO return to
his prayer at last, when he was out of
breath, stiff in every joint and sick with fright,
Spot conGescendingly said:
There. little 'un, that's enough. And now
we're going 10 take up collection. Boys,
take yer hats 'roun,' n don't let any guilty
man escape"
Two of the boys, each holding hat in one
hand and a revolver in the other, passed
about the church. compelling every member
of the terrified congregation to give some
contribution.
Those who had no money were obliged TO
give watch or ring or some other jewel or
trinket that they might have about them, and
finally 1t was all brought to Spot, who turned
the collection over to Billy.
AN friens, said spot, "we're much
obliged to yer fer all this yere stuff, n the
parson fer his prayers. We only wanter ask
one more thing o. you. We amt takin' this

1.-THE widow, said several voices in chorus.
'An who might be tn widder? There kin
be more'n one widder in town. What's yer
widders name?'
Nobody seemed to know, but he was told
where she lived, and the cavalcade OF cow
boys turned their horses around and passed
from the church into the bright sunlight.
The horses had been trotting briSkly, but
upon nearing the little. half-decayed shanty
standing alone among the sagebrush and wild
flowers their pace slackened and they finally
came to a standstill before the broken gate.
Who's a-goin to take the money a stuff
in TO the widder?" asked one of the boys.
They all looked at each other in some per-
pleXity.

Billy made some remonstrances, but was
finally prevailed upon to undertake the COM
mission, and, hanging his six-shooter and
belt on the fence he knocked at the door.
"a feeble voice said Come in" Pushing
the door open. he stood irresolute upon the
threshold The light in the room was dim,
but he could see distinctly figure stretched
on low couch in the further corner.
''Will you come in, sir?'' said the same
feeble, gentle voice; then, as Billy stepped in
with some embarrassment, she continued:
"What is your errand, sir?"
He tried to think OF a means by which he
could delicately and acceptably deliver his
message of charity, but was obliged to make

Il was Sunday. The little ehurchbell had
summoned the congregation to morning
service, though q few late comers were still
hurrying toward the consecrated spot.
The sabbath was observed and respected by
all the residents Of the town except Jan Geb-
hardt This citizen, despite the pleadings
and persuasions Of the little parson and the
members Of the church, refused to close his
saloon on Sunday, for upon this day he
usually realized his biggest profits.
This morning Jan was standing at the door
placidly smoking his pipe and looking away
toward the mountains with a self-satisfled
expression.
The scene presented to his phlegmatic mind
simply earth. vegetation ana air. while in the
clear, propitious weather he discerned alone
the promise OF extended patronage.
AS he stood there wrapped in pleasant

the WOODEN floor of the church.

accord, beheld Spot, the cowboy, riding SOL

ions.
"Dont be alarmed, ladies N gentlemen

occasion, as the people seemed inclined to de-

his revolver at the trembling man. Il amt

and begin his prayer.

He advanced to the side of the couch and
bent down to place the contents Of his hat in
her lap. As he did so a ray OF light stole
through the haif-clOsed blinds and fell upon
the woman's face.
''My Godr' He started back paler than his
companion, while the hat dropped heavily to
the floor.
In the meantime his companions outside
were becoming impatient.

said one OF them: ''he could a give the widder

Il should think he could. Tell you what

Dropping on his knees he cautiously peeret
through the half-elosed blinds. The next mo.

fastening 10 his comrades with a curious ex-

The trembling Jan obeyed. Now. then. -

Jan hesitated. but the revolyers compelled

Before the cavaleade moved on he had been
obliged to see the destruction of a large part

left standing amid a confusion of broken
kegs. neckless bottles, and pools of wines and
liquors, wringing his hands and calling down
maledictions upon bis prosecutors. who were
now continuing their mad career down the
street.
