Why Sugar Stock Went Up.

We are in receipt of courteous in
yitatiOn from the Republican National
Committee to have the name of the
Journal placed upon the mailing list
Of the committees literary bureau.
This will entitle US to the privilege of
receiving, free of charge, matter pre-
pared by the editorial staff of the
committee, which may be used ''as
miscellany, Washington correspond
ence or suggestions for the editorial
page"
We thankfully accept the offer, for
the sample slip of matter which ac-
companies it contains material OF the
utmost value as suggestions for the
editorial page. For instance, there is
an extremely suggestive explanation of
the rise in the price of sugar stock on
the adoption of the conference sugar
schedule of the new Tariff bill. That
is suject which most Republican
newspapers are extremely diffident
about discussing, ard it is eminently
gratifying to have it frankly explained
by the Republican National Commit
tee.
The committee first points out that
the differential allowed to the Trust
by the new tariff is very moderate
merely equal to 1.-The actual OF refn-
ing sugar" Not the difference be-
tween the home and foreign cost.
please observe, but the whole cost OF
the process in this county. The Gov
ernment allows the refners to collect
bounty equivalent to their entire ex-
penses.
But that is a minor detail. The real
explanation of the rise in Trust stock
is different. and it is worth giving in
full, in the Republican National Com
mittee's own words. Here it is:
The Trust had imported no less than
700. 900 tons of raw sugar in the ex-
pectation and knowledge that the new
Tariff law would increase the tariff
rates, and that it would thus be able
to make large profit upon whatever
sugar it could bring in prior to its final
enactment. But the Secretary of the
| Treasury bad recommended that an in
| teruaI revenue duty of ore cent per
| pound be placed on this raw sugar in
stock. It was the knowledge of the
fact that the conferees did not place
arv internal revenue duty upon this
sugar in stock. and that the profits of
the Sugar Trust on the 100000 tons of
sugar it had thus imported would be
| many millions of dollars, probably as
much as ten or twelve millions, and

that it would thus be able to pay enor-
nous dividends upon its stock during
the coming year. that caused the ad-
vance in sugar stock when the final
action of the conference became
known. This is the story in nutshell,
and it is but justice to all that the facts
should be known, and that the charges
made by tue Democrats that the ac-
tIon of the conference was advantage
Gus to the Trust and caused the ad-
vance in its stock are unfounded. The
advance in the stocks of the Sugar
Trust is due to the profits which it will
make upon the sugar which it import
ed prior to the increased duties. Just
as wool importers imported woods for
that purpose; just as the importers of
wooden goods and other articles upon
which the tariff duty was increased
imported large stocks for the sake of
the profit they could make after the
advance in the tariff; and but for the
fact of the possibility that the Internal
revenue tax would be levied, Sugar
Trust stock would have gone up to its
present figure long ago.
Here we have it officially stated, on
the highest Republican authority, that
the advance in Sugar Trust stock was
due TO gift of ten or twelve million
dollars made to the Trust by the Re-
publican Congress at the public ex-
pense, and that in making this gift the
Republicans in Congress disre garded
the recommendations of their own
Secretary of the Treasury, whose ad-
vice to save the money to the public
by means of an internal revenue tax
kept the price of the stock down until
Congress refused to follw it.
1t is well to have this statement on
record. 1t viii be useful for reference
hereafter. If the Republican National
Committee has any more such explana-
tions to make. the journal will take it
as a favor to be placed on its mailing
list.-N. 7. Journal.

From the Far West.

HARPsTER, IDAHO, July 10, 1897.
Mr.. Editor-Will you allow me space
in your valuable paper to answer few
of the many questions which l am call
ed upon to answer by letter? | was
raised in Iron county, Missouri; I have
many friends there who wish to know
something about this country.
1st. Where is Harpster, Idaho?
1t is situated on the Clearwater river
where the old Grangeville and Elk
City State road crosses the Clearwater
river. 1t is IS miles from railroad
and situated at the foot hills of the
Bitter Root mountains spurs of the
Rockies, and in Idaho county-the
largest county in the State-it being
larger that the State of Rhode Island.
The county lying north and south is a
beautiful rolling prairie, known as
Camas prairie. 1t is about 90 miles
wide and 80 miles long and is one of
the greatest grain producing prairies
in the State if not in the United States.
On the east of this prairie sets in the
foot hills of the Bitter Root mountains
which are turning out thousands of
dollars of gold and other precious
metals each year. Graageville is the
principle town. From Grangeville 80
miles south is Florence, a mining
camp, which in the COS turned out
thousands of dollars in places. gold.
Since that time there has been rich
strikes in quartz which is proving to
be wonderfully rich in gold. At pres
ent there are quartz mills in the
camp and the whole country full Of
prospectors.
From Graugev1lIe II miles northeast
is Harpster on the Clearwater river,
where the only bridge crosses the
river. The river here at this point is
furnishing work aud support for many
men and families. There is one large
hydraulic mine just opened and many
other smaller ones.
From Harpster to Elk City Is Al
miles. After you leave Harpster for
Elk City. you travel IS miles up hill
or until you cross the summit known
as old baldy-8OO feet above the sea.
From this point you can see just as far
as eyes will let you.> You can see the
beautiful wheat fields in the Palouse
county 80 miles away. AMI the snow
capped peaks of Buffalo hump; the
twin sisters and the devils; and in
the winter when this mountain is all
covered, the grandeur of the sun show
ing on the Pyramids of snow will make
a person who is an admirer of scenery
wish to hold communion with nature.
For
| 'Tis sweet to hold communion with nature
| true and wild,
,, And feel the thrill of gladness she breaths
into her child,

The cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla

The cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla arc Cures.
 The case of young Joseph Harper was Q terribly tenacious one, but Hoods Sarsaparilla, fairly tried, ef- fected perfect and permanent cure.
 The letter above, recently received from Joseph's father, shows how the parents hearts are still overhoWing with gratitude-to Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the particulars of the case below are interesting to all who need or contemplate taking blood purifier or Spring Medicine.
 "C. I. Hood & Co.,, Lowell, Mass:
 "There is @ continued joy in our home because of what Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for our son Joseph. We are as sure that Hoods Sarsaparilia saved his life as that the sun shines. My wife and and our three boys left Staffordshire, Eng land, to come to America. On board the ship they were vaccinated. As result, Joseph, the second boy, had a very sore arm, so bad at one time that we were afraid it-would have to be taken of. :, At length.it seemed to get we'll, but about two months after, he began to complain of soreness in the vaccinated arm. He scrofula. His arm grew worse and be- came swollen and covered with sores.' The inflammation and sores spread all

 plishments.

If we were called upon to name poets laureate for Alabama, we would unhesi- tatingly confer the houor urcn Dr. O. T. Dozier. of Birmingham. In his "Foibles of Fancy"-a handsome volume of 23S pages, he demonstrates that lie is a mas ter in depiciting every phase of human emotion. He runs the gamur from grave to gay. from lively to severe, 's with a readiness that has seldom been surpassed. His versatility is ore of ais chicftest charms. One moment he is as sentimental as Laurence Sterne. and in the next as satirical as Juvenal himself.

Pitiable to Behold,
 A misery to himself and almost breaking our hearts with anguish over his dreadful condition. No one could bear to care for and attend to him but his mother.
 "Truly, mothers love lasts the longest.
 "Many time didI wish he- was dead and out of misery. The moaning and cry ing of the poor child were beart rending, and his mother spent hours in.
 Tears of Sympathy.
 The eruption was especially severe back of his ears and all over his head and the lower part of his face. We had to cut of all his hair we could, as it was impossible to comb through the mass of hard crust and matter. Physicians said it WAS a blood disease caused by impure vaccina- tion, but did him nogood. The sores were actually eating into his cars so that we were afraid they would come of, and the holes and scars are. visible even now. When medical skill seemed exhausted we took the boy to the Eye and Ear Hospital. There happened to be two physicians, specialists, there besides the regular doe- tor. The three examined Joseph, and said
 Nothing Could Be Done
 for him, that he should be taken to the hospital in Chambersburg. But his mother did not. want to have the child, even in his pitiable condition, taken away

It Was Really Marvellous.

"I have been a neighbor of MT. Har- per's family for several years and know the terrible condition their boy Joseph was in. thought he would never get well.

from her. The night before he was to go to the hospital, read in paper about Hoods Sarsaparilla, and I said:
 "'W We will try this medicine before we do anything else.'
 e"We followed the directions faithfully; and while taking the first bottle, Joseph did not grow any worse; on the second, we noticed that he was improving, and, slowly but surely, the medicine drove away the disease and won complete vic- tory. The scales and scabs began to fall of; the sores gradually healed, and new,, smooth and healthy skin formed in. place of disease and corruption. Of 1oourse it took time, but improvement was steady until at the end of the year tho Disease had entirely disappeared, and Joseph stood q strong and healthy boy.
