on raw sugar, while the pubic rev
enues would be increased.
The doctrinaires who so obsunately
insisted upon the ad valorem instead
Of the specific duty on raw sugar now
recognize the gravity Of their mistake
Under the adj valorem system the
Trust is enabled TO put its own valua-
ton on imports Of raw sugar, and the
invoice price of imported raw sugar
is lower now than ever known before.
This is what has so greatly disap-
pointed the calculations in regard TO
the revenues from sugar. When the
new tariff was under consideration 1t
was estimated that a 40 per cent. adj
valorem duty would be equivalent to
snecifc duty of one cent a pound.
But the actual duty is considerably
below that specific rate, and hence the
miscalculation as to the revenue from
sugar.
BY placing a uniform specific duty
Of one cent a pound on all imports Of
sugar the power of the Trust would
he as enectuaIIy restrained as by put
ting all sugar on the free list. There
could be no occasion for calamity
bowling over such a change in the
tariff. All parties in Congress would
favor it except such as are under the
influence Of the Sugar Trust. Nothing
else so clearly betrayed the presence %
this influence in the Senate when the
new tariff was under consideration as
the persistence in rejecting a specific
duty on raw sugar, in spite Of the en-
couragement to fraud and the loss OF
public revenue under the ad valorem
method. Nothing more would be need
ed to reveal the existence Of the same
influence in the Fifty-fourth Congress
than its refusal to remove this mani
fest evil.

I'm the preliminary oyerures of the
Dawes Commission TO gain the consent
of the Indians to- incorporate towns and
cities the first step towards the re-
clamatiou Of the Indian Territory from
lawlsssness and the annexation of the
five foreign nations of the civilized
tribes to the United States has been
taken.
Sentimentalists who are ignorant Of
the true conditions have loudly in-
sisted that the Federal government
lse, ~bauds Oh and stand by the
guarantee that these Indian nations
should have complete autonomy and
p,rpeual existence. But these stipu-
Iauops were granted upon the express
rsores+ of the Indians that they should
be permitted to live by themselves and
should take the title 20 their lands i'm
trus, for the equal benefit Of all the
tribal members. These two conditions
the Indians have violated. IL the Fed
eral Government shall be obnge to
compel negotiations, the act will be
not against the Indians. but against
the white intruders who have really
enslayed the redmen.

This disposition of the money was
made with the understanding that the
States should return it TO the federal
government upon the demand Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury. 1t would
be amusing. however. to see the fed
eral government attempting TO get this
money back at this stage of the game
There has been a mighty change in
the methods of administration since
Andrew Jackson lived i'm the White
House. The money that now leaves
the hand of the taxpayer is never re
turned to- him. except for equivalent
consideration. If there be more tina.
enough TO pay the ordinary governme1,
expenditure it is dissipated in subsi-
dies and Jobs The hundred million
dollars left i'm the treasury by the first
Cleveland administration melted away
like an April snow before the hot quest
Of the Billion Dollar Congress without
assuaging its noble rage for lavish eX-
penditure. The country is still paying
the bills run up by that spenthrify
Congress. 1t not only spent the sur
plus revenue, but anticipated future
revenue and left a heritage Of debt to
be provided for.

NOT cArsEp By LOWER DUTIES.

In discussing the advance Of 10 per
cent in the wages of the employees Of
Disston and Sons. the Philadelphia saw
manufacturers. the New York Times
recalls the arguments and assertions
by which this same firm sought to ac-
count for and justify the reduction Of
10 per cent. which was made at or
about the end of the var 1898. The
impending revision Of the tariff and the
proposed slight reduction of the duty
ION saws. it was said. had compelled the
rirm to cut Off this 10 per cent We re
member that this explanation was pub
Iished by the high-tariG press, and that
the supporters Of the Mckinley law
made all possible use of it,
Now. the truth was that DisstOn &
Sons had been exporting their saws for
years and selling them in England,
Germany. Australia, and all parts Of
the world. in open competition with the
pauper saws Of Europe and without
the assistance Of any tariff duty what
ever. They had been underselling for
eign saw-makers abroad and could I'M
derseU them here. without the help of
a tariff. The following official figures
show the exports of saws and tools for
the fiscal years named:
1892 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. $l,90O.44i
1898 Observation-Disclosures. 1902 ,423
1874 -.-...- ........ ...--.. A''A''''o
The decrease of the duty on saws
then proposed was slight, and the rates
i'm the present tariff are but little below
those of the Mckinley act A concern
which sells large quantities Of saws
abroad can afford to have the duties on
imported saws cut down One-half, or
three-ouarters. or even TO nothing.
That the tariff reduction was not the
cause Of the reduction in wages made
by this firm i'm 1893 is proven by the
restoration of the old wages with the
tariff reduction i'm fun force. 1t is
simply one more tariff falsehood laid
bare.

JOHN 81 TRCRSTON. and four years
later was awarded the high honor of
presiding as temporary chairman in the
national Republican convention of 1888.
He is native of Vermont and was born
in Montpelier on Aug. 81, Al years ago.
When he was lad of z, his parents re-
moved to Madison, Wis. He was edu-
Gated at Wayland college and then
studied law, securing his sheepskin in
1869. Choosing Omaha as his scene of
labor, he began the practice of his pro-
fession. Clients were rare at first, and he
slept in his Office and at times, when
business was unusually dull, subsisted
upon crackers and cheese.
In 1872 he began his political career,
and his first Office was that of alderman.
Two years later he secured the city at
torneyship and N 1875 was sent to the
legislature. In 1880 he became a Ne
braska presidential elector and carried
the states vote to Washington. He was
then one Of the most influential Repub-
hcan politicians in Nebraska and was
chairman of the states delegation to
