A WONDERFUL TREE.
It Produces Glue, Towels, Cloth, Tin
der and Bread.

Il Produces Glue, Towels, Cloth, Tin
der and Bread.
Did you ever hear of tree bearing
glue, towels, cloth, finder and breadP
There Is just such a wonder. 1t Is
found on the Pacific islands and it Is
called the bread-fruit tree.
1t is sbout as tall as a three-story
house aud the branches come out
straight from the tree like so many
arms. They are covered with leaves
nearly two feet long and deeply gashed
at the edges, while half hidden among
them are the fruits, growing like apples
OH short stems, but larger and having
thick yellow rind.
This fruit is like bread, and it Is in sea-
son during eight months of the year, the
natives finding good living in 1t. They
gather it while it Is green and bake it
In an oven. Scraping off its outer black
ened crust they come to the loaf, which
Is very much like nice white bread.
But it must be eaten soon after baking,
else it grows harsh and loses its pleas
ant taste.
AS for glue, it oozes from the trunk of
the tree and is found useful for many
purposes; the leaves make excellent
towels for the few natives who care
TO use them; and from the inner bark OF
the tree kind of coarse cloth can be
made. Besides this its dried blossoms
are used for finder in lighting fires, and
the wood is in great demand for build
ing purposes.
With few of these wonderful trees
in the front yard housekeeping ought to
be an easy matter.-Chicago Record.

SUGAR TAX UNDER THE DINGLEY
LAW.

1t only now remains to prove that the Ding
ley law, just passed, not only reinstates the dill
ferental duty Of one-half a cent a pound CON
tanned in the Mckinley law, but really exceeds
that rate This will be done conclusiveiy. The
sugar schedule OF the Dingiey law consists en-
tjrely of specific duties, that ingenious device
which the Republicans have always employed
to deceive the people 1t reads in its essential
part as follows:
Sugars not above number sixteen Dutch
standard in color, tank bottoms sirups OF cane
etc, testing by the polariscope not above sew
enty-hve degrees, one cent per pound, and tor
every additional degree shown by the POLAR.
scopic test, three one-hundredths OF one cent
per pound additional, and fractions OF a degree
in proportion; and on sugar above number SIX
teen Dutch standard in color, and on all sugar
which has gone through process OF refining,
one cent and ninety-hve one-hundretns OF one
cent per pound"
This is the sugar schedule as it finally passed
the conference differing from the schedule
formulated and passed by the Senate only in a
slight transformation Of the specific rates OF
duty whereby, as will presently be shown, the
benefit to the Sugar Trust was ingeniously in
creased Upon the face of this schedule it
would appear that the differential rate Of duty
between raw sugar of IS degrees in strength
and sugar above No. IS Dutch standard, WHICH
is refined sugar, is ninety-hve one-hundr.dtns
OF a cent pound; but as pound OF raw sugar
will not produce pound OF rehned, the diner-
entail is not so great
MR.. WILSON'S ESTIMATE OF SENATE SCHEDULE.
1t will be remembered that shortly after the
Senate sugar schedule of the Dingley law was
made public and while it was pending in that
BODY Hon. William L. Wilson, the author Of
the Wilson law, furnished New York publi-
cation with detailed criticism OF the same, in
which he figured it out with mathematical pre-
cision that the differential on refined sugar
carried was forty-eight one-hundredths OF 9
cent pound, or within minute ute. fraction e., OF

while the bill was in the final conference. tina

Wnle the Dill was In the final conference, tina
a great battle was going on between thu House
anu Senate over the sugar schedule and that
the House was going to win great victory
over the trust. But, 10 and behold when the
conference report hnally made its appearance
and was adopted in both branches OF Congress,
the stock OF the Sugar Trust bounded up six
points IN one day and has since steadily in
creased until II has reached the highest point
ever attained. The truth soon leaked out that
by juggling with the specific rates tine
different grades OF raw sugar the conference
had still further increased the benefits OF the
Sugar Trust
This important fact is authoritatvely shown
by table presented by Senator White, in the
Senate, on July 40, which will be found on
page gas of the Congressional Record, and is
as follows:
COMPARISON OF THE SENATE RATES AND CON
FERENCE RATES ON RAW SUGARS

=. per 100 pounds .................,.....I-42
1t will thus be seen that on ali sugars test
ing below S. degrees the trust will have to pay
less duty than under the Senate amendments
and as the duty refined sugar is the same
in both the Senate and conference schedules, the
conference schedule is far more favorable to
the trust than the Senate schedule
The Maryland Republicans, reluctantly rec.
ognizing the fact that they are put seriously
on the defensive by the extraordinary sugar
schedule of the Dingley law, are at the present
time circulating through their rural press a
rdicuously absurd prepared statement, in
which an effort is made to make it appear that
the benefit to the Sugar Trust under the Ding
ley law will not be materially greater than un-
der the Wilson law. A perusal of the above
facts taken fresh from the public records, will
demonstrate how ridculously absurd and au-
