THE PEOPLES MONEY.

Chairman Wilson estimated the prof of
the sugar trust on sugar imported free and
held until the 40 per cent duty shall 60
into effect at S4G,0O0,OOO. Later, in the
debate. he reduced the estimate to S25,-
coo, 600. This chance for profit was offered
by the action of Congress in putting duty
of 40 per cent, little more than one cen!
a pound, Oh an article of universal use,
that had been admitted free. Without
assuming that any of this S25, 00O 900 was
distributed among legislators. or in any
way used to influence votes, 1t will be ad-
mitted that such opportunities should not
be offered. There was no urgent need for
a change in sugar duties. The Mckinley
tariff took off the then existing duty on
sugar and paid a bounty to home sugar
growers. Whether or not this was wise
legislation. there is no apparentreason why
the duty should be partially restored, and
especially at such expense to the people.
Every man in Congress, or out, knew
about what the effect OF putting a duty on
sugar would be. The trust would buy at
free sugar rates. and sell at en- advance of
the full tariff rates. There was no risk
attending the speculation. for sugar is an
article upon which accurate calculations
year to year varies but little, increasing as
population increases.
For the year ending June so, 1894, the
imports were. according 20 treasury re-
ports, 1926. 226. 775 pounds. The imports
for the preceding year were 1888, 040, 261
pounds. There might have been expected
little falling off in imports for 1894 ow-
ing to bad times, but there was an increase
of 0,O00 600 pounds. For July the imports
this year were SIC. 863.68 pounds, against
324. 76S. 462 for July, 1898 Since tie enact
ment of the sugar-irust tariff has been sub
stantially assured, imports have assumed
even larger proportions. Now one cent
and over pound on all this sugar was
taken by Congress from the people and
given to the sugar refners. Every Con-
gresham must have known what the
effect Of imposing duty would be. The
lesson of this foolish legislation is that
changes in the tariff should be made only
when the need is urgent. Such changes
make ordinary business kind of gamble
No one can blame the refuers for making
| use Of the opportunity Congress gave them,
but no one can resist the conviction that
Congress was foolish to give it to them.

good came to any of them by the under
taking. except tramp across the country,
which might have been considered the
hardest and most disagreeable kind oil
work if done for days wages. The Veal
ers suffered from hunger. illness. fatigue,
exposure and all the hardships of cam
pa1gH except fighting, and any OLD soldier
knows that fighting is not the worst Oh
campaigning.
1t is doubtful If the Conmonweal move
ment can be galvanized into renewed life.
II so the public respect for the good sense
OF the people who tolerate such demon
stration will be put to a severe strain.
Such thing might be done once as an
experiment, forlorn hope. or under the
pressure aud excitement of popular
craze, but there can be no excuse for the
repetition. If there were any expectation
Of another march on Washington measures
should be taken to discourage If not to
absolutely prevent it. A December tramp
campaign could prove nothing short OF
disastrous TO those engaged therein.

MAY BE REACHED.

The arrest of the president and secretary
of the Newark Steel Manufacturing Com
pany for an attempt to play the Carnegie
game on the Navy Department is an ex-
cellent thing in its way. A still better
thing will be an earnest effort to ascertain
if the accused parties are guilty. If it
shall appear that they are, and If they
shall be convicted and imprisoned. an
other. in teresting question will be raised.
Carnegie is the original Jacob in this
swindling game. OF the fact of the fraud
there was no question, but Carnegie
pleaded the baby act with so much pathos
that he was let off with a fine. Carnegie
lost no time in putting the Atlantic Ocean
between himself and the Government he
had robbed, but one Of the products of
modern civilization is extradition treaties.

THE SILVER PROBLEM.

The speakers at the American Bimetailic
League convention were quite right in de-
caring the silver question the most i'm
portant now before the American people.
Some action toward silver which will
arrest the steady appreciation of gold is
an Imperative necessity. But there are
dlfnculties in the way. Any solution of
the problem that may be offered can be
but choice between more or less perilous
policies. The extreme silver men advo-
cate the free coinage of silver with full
legal-tender power. There is no consid-
GRAFTON given by this solution to the con-
tracts now payable in gold. 1t is as
sumed, but without sufficient grounds, that
the opening of our minis to silver on equal
terms with gold will so far restore the
commercial value of silver that the dollars
OF the two metals would not vary much in
bullion value. II there were solid grounds
for this assumption the solution of the
problem would be easy. There would be
no disturbance attending any output of
dollars that have as high commercial
value as any other dollars in circulation.
What would result from unlimited silver
coinage at the present time is a mere con-
lecture. 1t might lead to such action to-
ward silver by othe: nations as would cause
a rapid appreciation of that metal. On
the other hand. il might throw the United
States upon the silver basis. Should the
commercial value of silver fail to respond
to the prospect Tor an increased use of that
metal we should be unable to maintain an
unlimited output of silver dollars at parity
with gold dollars. So long as silver dol
lars should remain receivable for all Gov
eminent dues they would circulate with
out discount exceptas to gold, which would
be quoted at a premium. The Government
then with no means of replenishing its
stock of gold would OF necessity pay or
binary expenditures with silver. 1t would
be q question whether bonds Issued during
the practice of the treasury to pay in gold
should not be paid in gold even if the Gov
eminent bad TO buy it in the market. The
resump tien of the use of silver, as we have
said. is attended with difficulties, but for all
that it has got TO come when the proper
conditions are reached. The real question
is how to bring it about with the least
hardship to debtors and the least distur-
bance of values.

Coxey declares that the Comm0nwea /
Army will again march on Washington
when Congress reassembles in Decem Der.
A prison-stripe uniform has been adopted,

Coxey, Browne and lot of their unfortu-

enterprise has been reorganized with a

Just what remains of the Commonweal
to be reorganized does not appear. The

viduals sent to their homes. so far as they

GOVERNOR OR CONGRESSMAN.

1t is understood now that Congressman
Mcguire will be allowed TO choose between
a nomination for Governor ard nomina-
ton for Congress. The secret of Maguire's
popularity lies in his manly opposition to
the bill to allow the Southern Pacific CON-
pany 10 evade the payment of its debts.
His political views otherwise are not such
as would entitls him to the honor of repre-
senting Ban Francisco in Congress. But
people are forgetting single-tax theories in

the Southern Pacific Company to law. In

Merchants are making constant application
to Collector Wise TO know when the new tariff
goes into effect. 1t is a very Important matter
TO them, but the Collector Is as much in the dark
as they are
Deputy Collector Jerome has received notice
that copy Of the new tariff in full detail will
reach him by Friday, at which time he will at
least be in a position TO give authoritative To-
formation on The schedule.
One item In the bill is causing some interest
among dealers In playing cards. II fixes a tax
of two cents per pack on all cards, domestic or
imported and not excluding cEildren's cards
The dealers say they will not raise the price
but will pay tile difference themselves. The
trade in playing cards in this city is quite
large.
Experts say the revenue to the Government
from this source will easily be cool round
