FAIRNESS OF SPECIFIC SCHEDULE.


There has been a surplus Of whining by the
trusts agents against specific duty graded
according to polariscopic test on the ground
that it did not afford q precise ad valorem
basis; whereas an examination OF the imports
for the last few years, on the basis OF free
trade in sugars which has enabled our retin-
ers to buy just the kind they wanted, has
shown that such specific assessment would be
almost ideally fair, from an ad 7alorem stand
point, and is rapidly becoming more nearly
SO on account of the at present petty and rap
idly lessening proportion of low and odd
grades of sugar used. Instead of being un-
fair, it is the most nearly fair of any Of the
groat schedules-metal, textiles, or other
wise, the faults of which in this very regard
are as beams compared with the mote that
the tools Of the trust are squealing about.
Indeed the fact is that so far from
an ad valorem tending to fairness in
the case of sugars, these are the
one. case in which even if honestly assessed it
would be most certainly and grossly unfair
For example, take Cuban, Hawaiian, and
Javan sugars of the same grade and costing
the same price delivered in bond at the port
of New York. From the New York price for
the Cuban sugar there will be deducted from
4 cent to 9s cent to arrive at the Gus
toms-house valuation; from the Javan sugars
from cent to 15 cent, and from tho
Hawaiian sugars from = cent to q cent,
thus assessing at a widely differing rate for
duty purposes sugars which at the port at
which they are entered are worth precisely
the same price as they lie on the decks side
by side.
The matter Of the worlds sugar production
and supply is so complicated and involves
such important considerations of the effect
upon its items of other commerce, of local
transport, of special conditions, of temporary
circumstances which, materially affecting
petty factors, have no influence upon the gen.
eral situation, that it would probably be easy
to substantiate any assertion, however ex-
treme, that may during the last few months
have been seriously urged by any party on
either side Of the sugar question by perfectly
authentic and apparently conclusive original
data. 1t is, however, only by the exclusion
of temporary and petty factors and the con-
sideration of those upon which the relations
OF our production and supply actually de-
pend that any trustworthy conclusion can be
reached.

CONGRESS ASKED TO RESIGN.
Senator Hoar Ironically Comments Upon a
Petition from Socialist Swift.

Senator Hoar Ironically Comments Upon
Petition from Socialist Swift.
Among the petitions presented to tho Sen
ate yesterday was one from Morrison l..
Swift. OF Boston. who recently made himself
notorious by his actions and words on the
steps Of the Boston courthouse, calling on
Congress to resign.
Senator Hoar made a brief and ironical
speech upon it, in which he said:
This gentleman and the persons who join
with him in his petition, seem to be abso-
lutely unconscious Of the existence of body
Of men called the American people.
'They send in their petitions" he contin-
ued, ..and make their demands on us as il a
dozen. hundred, or a thousand men had
only to get together on the common some
where, and after ten minutes turbulent dis
cussion propose something which is to take
the place of the Constitution at once. The
petition called for the immediate resignation
OF Senators and Representatives and the
signers not only demanded it but they had
even fixed the time for it.
''You," he said, addressing the Vice Presi-
dent, ''are going to resign the honorable Office
you hold on the 4th of March, 1897, and you
will do 1t without any further demand being
made You may be promoted to one more
honorable or you may be continued for an
other term in this one, or you may be retired
to private life"

lie debt, issued yesterday by the Treasury De
partment, shows that the aggregate of the
public debt on July 81 last was 81 ,633 SOC, ,240.
as against s1.6S2, ,253, 1856 on June 80 last.
This apparent increase of 1885,, ,604 in the
public debt is owing to the increase In the
issue of certificates and Treasury notes,
which, however, are Offset by an equal
amount OF cash in the Treasury. Aside from
this item the statement shows net decrease

There are some features, however, upon

On this point the testimony will be cited,

A LAST WORD ABOUT SUGAR.

The TIMES yesterday exposed the sophis-
tries Of the ad valorem sugar argument to
the best of its ability. suppIementing the
argument Of yesterday follows statement
OF the essential considerations involved in
the adoption of ad valorem or specific duty
on sugar.
The House conferees in the conference on
the tariff bill have a responsibility on their
shoulders that seldom rests on representa-
tives of free people. They should remem-
ber that the problem of sugar duty is a
plain business proposition, which is capable
of exact demonstration. They should remem-
Der, too, that the intelligent citizenship of the
country has not been befogged and deceived
by the purposely complicated and intention
ally bewildering statistics of tariff experts.
Lastly, the House conferees should remem-
Der that this common-sense citizenship will
be In evidence at the ballot boxes in the fall

Crossing the Atlantic

Usually involves seaslckness. When the
waves play pitch and toss with you, strong
indeed must be the stomach that can stand
it without revolving. Tourists, commercial
travellers, yachtsmen, mariners, all testify
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the best
remedy for the nausea experienced in rough
weather on the water. Nervous and weakly
travellers by land often suffer from something g
akin to this, and find in the Bitters its surest
remedy. No disorder of the stomach, liver
or bowels is so obstinate that it may not be
overcome by the prompt and thorough
remedy. Equally eficacious is it for cbills
and fever, kidney and rheumatic trouble and
nervousness. Emigrants to the frontier
should provide themselves with this fine
medicinal safeguard against the effects Of
vicissitudes Of climate, hardship, exposure
and fatigue.

4 SATISFACTORY SHOWING
Receiver Clark $3.50 Ahead for
May.

Chas. Clark's management Of the Oregon
PIcific has developed the fact that he Is a
railroad man As we'll as business manager hav
ing few equals. On assuming control of the
road last winter he found the company
heavily in debt and running behind every
month; the employees dissatisfied and the
public generally disgusted with all former
arrangements. Since that time employees,
material men and all others having claims
against the company have been paid each
month in fnll wholly from The traffic re-
ceipts. Heretofore the income was far
greater than at present yet the road was
never before self sustaining property and
the only apparent reason for it seems to have
been lack of economy in the management
which Mr.. Clark appears to have reduced to
a minimum. During the past month several
thousand old ties were replaced with new
ones; 200 additional piles were driven in
the piers of the Albany bridge, several ad.
ditional section men were employed and a
two months fuel supply was purchased.
These betterments required quite an adj
ditional outlay of money, yet, after paying
them in full there remains in the receiver q
exchequer $3.50 i'll good hard cash, all of
which, including the amounts d,sbursed, was
derived alone from traffic receipts during
the month of May. The constant demands
of creditors under former managements and
holders of receivers certificates for sale of
the properties, and it's failnre to sell when
offered at auction, are matters which have
sorely distressed and puzzled Judge Fuller.
ton but he is deserving of congratulation for
the appointment of Mr.. Clark to the receiv-
ership and 10 doubt takes much consola.
tion in the knowledge that all concerned
are receiving their money regularly.
