The Rev. William =. Amant an Amer

omitted from the inscription on the tables

a sugar bounty Argument.

Controller Bower of the treasury depart
ment is a very stubborn man. The Louisi
ana sugar planters, assisted by the Louis
lana senators and two of the ablest law
yers of New Orleans, have failed to con-
vince him that he ought to authorize tho
payment of the sugar bounty for the year
1884. The amount of the bounty is about
100000
1t has been stated already by the Morn
ing News that his objection to paying
the bounty is a decision of the court of
appeals of the District of Columbia that
bounties are unconstitutional.
The sugar planters are very much afraid
that if the money is not paid before next
December it will never be paid. They
think the next congress would repeal the
law which authorizes dhe payment of the
bounty.
The interesting feature of the whole
matter, however, is the report that the
sugar planters have told Mr.. Carlisle that
unless the bounty is paid before congress
meets Louisiana will become a repubu-
can state That is a rather curious state
ment for them to make. Have they not al
ready left the Democratic party and be-
come members of the Republican party?
The understanding is they have. Their
threat therefore to turn the state over
to the republicans is not likely to alarm
Secretary Carlisle greatly. 1t really looks
as if the sugar planters are in politics
for what they can make out OF 1t.
And what do they expect from the re-
puhlicans? They certainly cannot expect
much if they are afraid the present con-
gress, which is republican, viii legislatc
so it would be impossible for them to
get the bounty they have already earned
If they are wise they will do what they
can TO make life a burden to Controller
Bower, and let politics alone as far as
the bounty question is concerned.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
rahid protectionists said the Wilson tariff
would ruin the American iron and steel
industry, there is no evidence of ruin, al
though that tariff is now in full operation
and has been so far some months. On the
other hand, the industry is greater now
than it has been for some years, if indeed,
it ever before reached its present large
proportions. Last week Pennsylvania
manufacturing concern made a shipment
of armor plate to Russia, and there are
other shipments to follow. And few
days ago there was big shipment of iron
from Philadelphia to England. While
this competition with foreign "pauper Ia
