That Sugar Trust Transaction.

The surrender to the Sugar rrlst by the
subcommittee of the Senate Finance Com
mittee in the amended sugar schedule of
the Dingiey bill Is denounced from one end
of the country TO the other. Men of all
shades Of political opinion-republicans,
democrats and populists-unite IN charac-
terizing IL as an outrage on The public in
terests and as calling for prompt and en-
phatic redress Nor Is any of the language
used at all too strong The transaction is
nothing short of scandalous. and the Sen
ate could not ratify 1t without infiic,ins on
itself a lasting disgrace.
This Is the time for plain speaking The
republican party has come into power-not
without much difficulty-to right wror gs
and give the country good government Its
campaign promises are well remembered
ard its policies well defined. 1t is under
obligations to revise the tariff IN the inter-
ests OF raising more revenue and of afford
ing reasonable protection 20 home in
dustries- But 1t has always held that such
protection should never be permitted to
foster monopolies. or to become a means
OF oppression. being spurred to that decIa-
ration by the charge OF the opposition that
protection served such ends.
The Dingley bill. as originally drawn.
was sound and just measure. 1t provided
for the raising of enough revenue for the
support Of the government. and for a rea-
sGnabie protection TO American industries
IL was national bill. in that all sections
were remembered in it and would benefit
by 1t. The men who drafted il were Lot
oEiy competent for their work, but enjoyed
!. very high reputation before the coun-
airy But no sooner had the bin -eached the
hands of the Senate subcommittee appoint-
ED to examine and report upon il than in
nuences presented themselves demanding
radical changes in Its provisions And
chief among those influences was the Sugar
Trust. ard chief among the changes was
that. made at the Trusts dictasioa. by
which the sugar schedule was transformed
Into a means Of enriching the Trust almost
beyond computation.
This would have been q surprising per
formance In ordinary circumstances. but In
the circumstances that actually exist It il
simply amazing. The Sugar Trust was the
source OF scandal In the preparation OF the
existing tariff Law. and more than any
other one cause was the means of Changing
. large democratic majority in one House

BRADSTREETS REVIEW.

New York, Oct. 15.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
The activity in staple lines Of merchan-
disc is less pronounced than month
ago, due to interior merchants having
supplied their demands for the time, a
gradual increase of the territory includ-
ed by the yellow fever quarantine, the
low price of cotton, tendency in the
Missouri River Valley and spring wheat
States to hold wheat for higher prices,
and tn farmers being busy with fall
planting.
Unreasonable weather has had an un-
favorable influence on the distribution
OF merchandise throughout the central
West and at Chicago and st. Louis sales
have fallen off.
A well informed correspondent Of Brad

CATION, gives reason for anticipating a
much smaller yield of cotton than trade

less than an average crop and Arkan-

LOVES ROSARY.

Sweet names, the rosary of my evening
prayer,
Told on my lips like kisses of GOODNIGHT
To friends who go little from my sight,
And some through distant years shine clear
and fair
So this dear burden that I daily bear
Nightly God taketh, and doth loose me
quite;
And soft sink in slumbers pure and light
With thoughts Of human love and heavenly
care.
But when mark how into shadow slips
My manhoods $ prime, and weep fast
passing friends
And heavens riches making poor my lips,
And think how in the dust loves labor

Then. where the cluster of my hearthstone
shone,

and had no further use for the truss.
Since then have been able to attend to
