Is Sugar Higher?

On account of the efforts of certain
parties to show that the recent tariff
on sugar has had the effect of increas-
ing the price of that commodity, the
Democratic Congressional Committee
have issued tabulated statement dis
proving the assertion. The Mckinley
bill went into operation October, 1890.
During that year sugar never got be-
low cents, and for the greater portion
of the months OF October, November
and December, it's average price was
81 cents per pound. From 1891, to Au.
gust, 1894, inclusive, the price never
went below 4 cents, while for many
months it was over cents per pound,
and for some months over cents.
The new law went into operation
August 29th, 1894, and the ruling
prices have been, for September
cents, for October a 11-16 cents per
pound. Of course these are wholesale
prices.
Official figures show the wholesale
price of granulated sugar has not been
increased; yet how different is the eff
feet of the two laws in the revenue re-
ceived by the government. The rev
enue to the treasury under the present
law will be $E3,000,000; under the Nc
Kinley bill it was just nothing at all.
The present law gives large revenue,
enabling Congress to reduce the prices
on other necessaries and cut down the
profits of the trusts. The Mckinley
law gave the trusts free raw sugar and
prohibiting duty in favor OF refined
sugar That's the difference.-Ch

Fix the Responsibility.

One of the salient issues between the
Democrats and their opponents is the
question of responsibility for the hard
times that have ground the life nearly
out of every interest in the country
from the factory to the cornfeld, and
simply because the party in power has
been forced in the nature of things to
undertake the remedies, it is charged
with inducing the disease that the pa
tient was inocu!ated with by the Re-
publicans. There is not a feature of
the terrible malady that did not come
from Republican legislation and the
record of the case shows it. Banks be
gan to suspend during Harrison's term
and during the present year over so per
cent. of them have reopened their
doors. There were 10000 failures in
1890 and $4,000 in 1891, and as for that
sugar trust cry, why not direct it
against the right point of attack, for
by the witnesses before the Democratic
investigating committee, the only au-
thority that ever attempted to investi-
gate that class of corruption, it was
proved that under the Mckinley law
the trust received $25, 000,000 in three
years. The Mckinley tariff really as
sessed the people of this country $14,-
600, 900 year in the extra price of sugar
accorded as a monopolistic privilege to
the trust under the sacred dispensation
of the protection doctrine and this was
in addition to the SIS, 000,000 bounty.
AS we stated before under the new
tariff for free wool the native product
has greatly advanced in price and de
mand while under the Mckinley law it
had declined rapidly. Let the Ameri-
can voter, however disconnected he
may be, compare the record of the two
parties and only he patient enough not
to expectthe Democrats to reform the
whole fabric of wrong is one year.

Little white ringlets from somebody's hair,

Then we wuz little an lovin' an glad.
The tricks tibet we played an the prizes we

The smart things we said an the cute things

Air things we furgit in the worry of life;
But when she kin tell 'em ter husban or wife,

Upon the hill, wher' the soft breezes pass,
Little maounds rise through the long, wavin'

The babies tibet sleep there air dust long ago,

An no one hez thought on or mourned 'em

Fruits of the Tariff.

1t is as true of tariffs as of trees that
"by their fruits we shall know them
The farmers of the United States own
ed $4,000, 100000 of the 5000, 900, 900
which was the total assessed valuation
of the country in 1850. In 1890 they
owned only $4,000, 900. 900 of the S62,-
600, 600, 900 which was then its total as
sessed valuation. and of that fifteen
billions they really owned only nine
billions, for the rest was covered with
mortgages. Those figures tell the story
of the reduction of the farming wealth
of the country from over one half to
about one-sixth of it's whole valuation
under taLiffs in making which, accord
ing to Mckinley, his party never over
looked a single Southern interest An
other thirty yards of such devotion
to all the material interests of the
South" and they would be wiped out
tOgether-killed by republican kind
ness.
The South and the West are the vic
Tins, not the benefciaries, of pFotec
ton. The tariffs of the past thirty
years have made the farmers and plan
tiers pay prices ranging from so to 100
per cent. higher for their clothing,
their tools, their machinery and their
manufactured goods of all kinds, and
have not added one dollar to the prices
paid to them for their cotton, tobacco,
wheat, breadstUffs, pork and the other
products of their unprotected capital
and labor. History furnishes no worse
example of the robbery of the founda-
ton producing classes of country for
the enrichment of a comparatively
small fraction of favored capitalists.
Since the days when Pharoah, in the
hardness of his heart. set taskmasters
over the Children of Israel and demand
ed that they should make bricks with
out straw, there has been no more
merciless tyranny than the protective
system established by the manufactur-
ing plutocracy for wringing the very
last dollar that special legislation could
extort from the farming and planting
industry of the South and West.-Bolt.

Female Suffrage.

In sermon in the Cathedral i'll Bal
timore October 9TH, Cardinal Gibbon.
at seems to me fearful to contem-
plate what would have been the con-
dition of society to day if it had not
been for the restraining, sanctifying
and purifying influence of woman, ,
said he.
II speak of those women who make
no VOW, except the baptismal one; who
wear no habit, except the white robe
of innocence, and not of those who
wear the royal robe of charity and
benevolence. | speak of the mother
of the household. If to-day woman is
esteemed as the peer of her husband
and not as the slave of his passions. as
is the case in Oriental countries, it is
due to the Church. If she is queen in
her domestic kingdom, without being
confronted with usurping women, as is
the case in Mohammedan and Mormon
households, she is indebted for this de
liverance to the teachings of the Cath
Ollie Church, and of the Popes. The
church follows the teachings of ST.
Paul, that woman is equal to man,
when he declares that God makes nc
distinction as to nationality, race OF
sex.
at is true woman does not to day
exercise the right of suffrage She
cannot vote, an l am heartily glad o!
it. 1 hope the Gay will never come
when she can vote, and if the right OF
suffrage is granted to her, l hope she
will reject it, even though there are
some misguided women who think
they want it. Rest assured, if woman
enters politics, she will be sure to car
ry away on her some of the mud and
dirt of political contact. She will also
lose some of the influence which now
is hers.
"The proper sphere of woman is
home; the proper place for her to reign
is in the home circle. A ruler of
Greece said II command Athens:
Athens rules the world, and my wife
controls me; therefore, she rules the
world So, nowadays, you men con
troll the United States with your votes.
and your wives, controlling you, they
rule this country"

The corruption of politics has, as was

One of the saddest eases a physician
meets, is that of some sweet, modest
woman, who in striving to make her
home life happy, has overtaxed her
delicate constitution, until her health
is SO completely broken down, that her
every moment is misery. Natural
fe elings of delicacy, prompt her to de-
fer consulting physician until the
most serious results have ensued. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription removes
the necessity of any embarrassing con
sultation with physician. DR.. Pierce
has devoted a long active life to the
closest study of woman's diseases, and
no specialist in the world IS better
fitted to prescribe than he. Complete
directions are given with each bottle.

sensations, nervous debility and all
uterine disorders, "Favorite Prescrip-

If you have made an invention you want a
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds OF patents Some of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. Ii is unsafe to trust to them
as to a lightning rod without ground con-
necJiOn. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own specitica-
tions. or trusts the work to an Irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.

only destroys the morality of the

Ruskin says: ''The occult theft, theft

is legal, respectable and cowardly,
corrupts the body and soul of man to
the very last fibre of them" And
history proves that such legislation
destroys nations, degradas humanity,

Judge who will not hold guiltless him
who lends voice to such UBIQUITOUS
legislation;-a legislation that de-
