REVENGE FkON THE SUGAR

Halper's Weekly, which 10 D Of

of 40 percent on raw sugar has increas-

tiOn were thought to be much exag.

Measures have been adopted in va
riOus communities to secure the de-
sired relief, aud it would be . noble
work for some Of Our charitable peo-
pie TO devise some means Of relief,
from this community for the drouth
sufferers. A committee could act to
solicit and receive Q contributions of
money " goods, or to inaugurate any
other system Of relief which may sug.
gest itself.
We know that It has been hald
times with rs for for q good while
back, aud it looks like begging from
the poor to AK 0ur people to come to
rescue Of the afflicted, but true charity
considers not the means Of him that
giveth but the needs Of him to whom
It il given. When fellow men arc in
sore distress, charity prompts that We
furnish our little mite towards their
relief.
The SENTINEL 10 ready to lend its
aid to any movement looking to the
relief Of these poor sufferers.

1t 10 one Of the encouraging "signs
of the time" tn see sO conservative
and influential a jourDal as Harper's
Weekly advocating a tariff for reve-
Dne, and specially urging sugar a. an
ideal article on which to place y duty
for revenue.
A return to the sound doctrine of
tariff taxation which. like other taxa
ton, ought to be limited to the necrs-
sities OF government and only levied
for revenue to meet the necessary ex
penditures, would be the best thing
for out sugar interest, for under such
. system there ought always to be an
adequate duty on sugar as that is .
recognized revenue producing article.

found "A bloody Handkerchief on the roof

brought II to the polce-station. Detec-

and soon ran through the cleW OF the

servants in the institute, and had no
connection with the murder. He descend
