Who Pays the Taxi

The republican claim that "the for
eigner pays the tax" is amply proved
by the following letter, which will APP
peal to the people of Nebraska and
Iowa, as it interests them particularly:
Omaha, April 10.-The Albion Milling
Company, Neb. Gentlemen: Answering
your inquiry of the eth inst. The explana-
ton of the recent marked advance IN the
price or burlap bags is in the prospective
changes in the tariff. Under the Wilson bill
they are on the free list. but the Dingley
bill provides for a duty which would
amount to something over one cent per bag
on the 66-inch eight-ounce burlap. The
price made you on your recent invoice is
the lowest which we can offer on the pres
ent market. Yours truly,
Bemis Omaha Bag Company.
NJ. c. Peters, Manager
The consumers of burlap bags who
live in this section of the country need
not imagine that the increased price of
bags concerns them. The foreigner has
to pay it.
Congressman "Champ" Clark, in his
speech on the Dingley tariff bill, said
''the passage of the bill will force every
merchant in the land to make a tariff
for revenue only speech every time he
sells a bill of goods across the coun-
ters."
The above letter is only one of
the tariff speeches referred to by the
eloquent and witty Missouri congress

The bosom friend Of a young girl is
usually the one who most resents her
engagement. This chiefly because it de-
prives her of her companionship to a
great degree-often, indeed, entirely
because a newly engaged girl seems to
have no thought for any one but the
hero of her heart.
OF course, the friend is often little
to blame. because she absents herself
from the society of her companion a.
much as possible, thereby creating q
misunderstanding, and the relation Of
friend may drop to mere acquaintance.
The same is often the case with the
mans friends, and it is q well known
fact that many friends Of n recently en-

should be so is past all comprehension.

THE NEW SUGAR SCANDAL

841toraal Opinion Of Leg1alot1OA 1oR
Is the country to be a4{iicted with a
second sugar scandal? Are the "sen-
stors from Havemeyer" ex-on3cio menu
bers of the finance committee, and are
they to be permitted to dictate the Inn
portant sugar schedule? = Chicago

The senate committees bill, wheth-
er designed to do SO or not, will give
tho trust a great advantage should it
become a law. For that reason the
county is bitterly opposed to the SEN

will heed the voice Of the people that
schedule will not be embraced in the

braces very large differential for the
benefit of the trust. This conviction is
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories of personal profit in connection
with it.-Philadelphia Press Rep).
The specific charge by responsible
newspaper in Chicago that three MEM
bers of the senate speculated in the Sc
crets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule on the senate tariff bill
had been framed, and profited $50, 00c
by the transaction, is altogether too
serious to be treated by the senate
with contempt or indifference.
The peculiar influence which the
! magnates of the sugar trust have ex-
erted in the framing of the new sugar
schedule has already created suspicious

Perpe4ual Motion by Protection

The California argument for high
er fruit dnties is,asort ofperpetual mo-
ton. The only disadvantage the Cali
fornia fruit raiser is ut is to be found
in the cost of his land, but the only
thing that makes his land expensive is
the profitableness. of fruit culture.
So the matter works out in this way:
The great profits of frui. raising sent
the value of land up to hundreds of dol
lars an acre. The interest on the value
of the land makes a large item in q
fruit raiser's b alance sheet, and he feels
the need of a high price for his fruit.
This Senator Jones procures for him by
letting it be known that he will not vote
for the tariff bill unless it contains du-
ties on hides and increased duties on
fruits and the cheapest sorts Of wool.
The increased duties adds to the prof.
its of fruit culture, and the price of land
takes another rise, whereupon the fruit
grower complains that the interest ON
his land Investment is so great or the
rental he has to pay for his land is SO
high that there is an insufficient profit
in the business for him, and the only
| thing that will save him from disaster
| is more duty.
Logically this process can be carried
on indefinitely. Practically it cannot.
because with the increase in the price
| of fruit the consumption of fruit will
decline. The consumer will be worse
on for the change. The grower, so far
rs he is not to be considered as land
owner will be no better off, but the
value of the land will be as high as tho
profits of fruit culture will permit

Pettigrew's Amendment,

Senator Pettigrew has introduced an
amendment to the Dingley bill which
provides for the admission free of duty
Of articles controlled by trusts. Should
it become law and be carried out hon
estly how much revenue would the bill
yield? There are trusts in sugar, coal
window and plate glass, lumber, pot
terry, wall paper, rubber, cutlery and
in nearly all kinds of hardware. There
is no trust in tea, but that is probably
because there has been no duty to en-
courage it. There are also trusts in the
wooden and cotton industries. Revenue
will be scarce if such law should be
enforced. But will those elected by
trust funds destroy the system which
fosters trusts? They may pass some
:.,:ch law, as they did the Sherman anti
trust law in 1890, but it will be only an
other dummy.
