THE SUGAR SCHEDULE SOLVED.

A correspondent of the New York
World, which has offered a prize Of
twenty-five dollars for the clearest
translation of the sugar schedule OF the
tariff bill in the Senate, has done the
country a service by explaining the
mysteries of that intricate piece Of leg
islation and telling in plain, every day
English just what the famous, or infa-
nous. sugar schedule really means.
He says:
NO. Is Dutch Standard" is an arbitrary
or imaginary line like the equator or the
Tooth meridian. and IL means, in practice,
the raw sugar as IL comes from the boil
ers after the Juice of the cane has had the
water taken out in the shape of scum.
The pOlariscope test Of NJ and ~ de-
CreeS shows the natural sugar and syrup
which have not undergone any process or
bleaching or refining. and each step in
refining raises the grade and also the po-
The Straight specific duty of seventy
nine hundredths of one cent per pound.
or Seventy-nine cents per 100 POUNDS,
gives the Sugar Trust its raw material
practically free. and the slight rise of duty
on slightly higher grades protects the
trust effectuany from the competition OF
foreign reunerS.
This is boldly shown in the second par
aEraph of the schedule:
Sugar above No. l6 Dutch Standard
which means all sugar that has been even
i'm part refined, must pay a specific duty
of $1.16 per 100 pounds. and in addition to
this % per cent. adj valOrem-or more than
Oue-third of its cost at the place OF pur-
chase. That is what ad valorem means
in practice. This duty is tantamount TO
prohibition or coniisCatiOn of the foreign
refined product. and beneVolently relieves
the trust from any miSgivings on the
sacred-I had almost said consecrated-
monopoly.
All such terms as tank bottoms -
"nelada. concrete and concentrated
molasses." are mere gibbersh which
mean raw sugar in more or less liquid
state.
Surely, Gays the correspondent, who
signs himself "Ex-U. S. Consul" the
American people should be able to see
the true inwardness of a protective"
tariff after while. and TO realize fully
who is protected" by it. Chapman,
Judge Bradley, the reversible, and the
sugar bedaubed Senators. ought to
furnish some valuable object lessons
if the people will only take the trou-
bic to study them.

WHAT Is NEEDED BESIDES CONT,


For four years at least the tariff
question is substantially settled
Every one knows and well understands
the tarih policy of the present ad-
ministration. and the Senate bill, with
few changes. will doubtless be the
next tariff law of the United States.
Now, as the Cleveland Plain Dealer
puts it. if that policy is settled, if all
the main schedules are we'll known, if
business men are able thus to shape
. their plans for the future. the most
important if is. if there is no other
condition or element necessary for
future prosperity, why is business stag
naut: why is there a general feeling
that there is little profit in doing bus
mess; why are all kinds of business
concerns cutting down expenses and
reducing them TO the lowest possible
point. why are prices so low and why
is there a general spirit of discomfort
Notwithstanding the supposed restora-
ton of confidence? These are Ques-
tious which are in the minds of all
men who are doing business. and of all
students of political economy in this
country. IL is no use to dodge condi-
lions that confront us, we have to
meet it and we have TO, answer the
questions which these conditions nut
to us.
The Wilson tariff bill was a modifi-
cation of the Old Mckinley bill. a re-
duction somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF 10 or - per cent. while at the
same time few articles like wool were
put ON TIE free list. the very articles
that might have saved a large per-
ceutage of the revenue which now is
marked by a deficit of about $5O.OOO,-
coo per year.
The new tariff bill, with its tax on
tea. beer, sugar. wool and lumber, will
probably bring revenue enough 10
carry ON the government but a large
percentage of this is not coming by
the application of the doctrine of pro-
lection
Protection belongs only to GOODS
manufactured or produced in our own
country. A very small percentage of
the sugar we use is produced in the
United states. none Of the tea that we
use. so the doctrine of protection does
not apply 10 these articles. out of which
a revenue is expected TO be raised.
Republican politicians are very
schrewd in one respect: they never for
get their friends; they owe a debt to
the men who paid the money TO secure
the last election. they are pledged TO
pay it 10y Increasing the tariff and do
ing it, not with the idea of revenue.
but with the idea of permitting those
parties to raise the price of their Goods
and thus compe' their fellow citizens
20 nay a higher price in the shape OF
subsidy To DE collected by law. by
private individuals and corporations
from the masses of the people who
use the goods produced in this coun-
Try. In many respects the present
tari6 is prohibitory it is a subsidy col

the benefit of the government. 1t is
in every such case law of special
privilege. enacted to pay political debts
in money. or. in other words, to per-
nit the parties TO collect money to
reimburse themselves for money paid
out for the purpose of carrying tne
last election. These statements are
straight goods and are exactly in ac-
cordance with the facts. For that PR
pose a protective tariff is always en-
acted.
The difference between tariff for
revenue and a protective tariff so-called
is that tariff for revenue is levied,
first. for the purpose of raising revenue
for carrying on the government. II
such tariff is placed partially on
things produced at home and is not
prohibitive. incidental protection fol-
lows equal to the per cent. of the tax;
for instance, if it were found, after
carefully figuring over the needs OF
the government. that a 80 per cent. tax
on imported goods was required, then
that would be the measure of protec-
ton which our own manufacturers
and producers would receive under
such law. That is the policy that al
ways ran through tariff laws enacted
under Democratic administrations.
But there is another element that en-
tiers into the dissatisfaction in business
circles. and that is the money ques-
ton. This administration thus far has
done nothing except to appoint a COM
mission to go to Europe and see what
can be done towards securing inter-
national free coinage. To that end we
are ready TO give them credit, but at
present nothing has been done to re-
form the banking laws, or to abolish
the greenback system. The same con-
ditions exist that existed during the
panic. and are liable. say what you will,
10 bring back the same results. Like
causes produce like results. But the
same monetary policy that pervaded
Harrison's administration, that black
ened and belittled Clevelands admins
tration. is liable now to drag its SER
pentine coils around McKinley's admin
istration. The tariff bill will not bring
prosperity 1t may bring revenue
enough into the United States treas
ury so that there will not be deficit,
but all the tax collected will come as
an added burden to the people who are
vainly looking somewhere and every
where for relief.

NEARLY KILLED.
Pittsburgher, Who Was Late
Attempted to Board a Returning
B. & 0. Train at Market and Six
tenth Streets Yesterday and Barely
Escapes Falling Under the Wheels
Face Badly Injured.

Last evening rittsburger named
C. w. Hunter nearly lost his life While
attempting to board, at Sixteenth and
Market streets. the $40 passenger train
for Pittsburg. He made an effort TO
lump on the steps of the second coach
from the rear end of the train. lie
had been in the city during the day
visiting relatives, and started for the
depot TO catch the last train leaving
Yesterday for home. He found that he
was late. and by making a short cut
thought he could board the train as II
was passing out Sixteenth street. The
train. however, was going at good
speed and Hunter missed his calcula-
ton. Instead of alighting on the car
steps he fell, face dawnwards, into
the street. He rolled towards the
track and was not more than six inches
from the wheels of the train when he
was pulled away by relative who was
with him. Hunters face was badly
bruised and cut up. His forehead, nose
and chin were skinned and bleeding
and blood oozed freely from a bad
cut on his nose. just between the eyes.
He missed his train, and compelled
after getting a physician TO dress his
injuries. to return to the home Of rel
atives on the South Side.

THEJIYNCHING AND KILLING IN OHIO.
Had the ,ynching of the negro rape

red in a Southern State, what a howl
of disapprobation would have arisen to
heaven from the lips of the good Re-
publicans of the Buckeye State and
elsewhere in the North. The lecher-
Gus brute deserved his terrible fate, and
so do those same fiends who commit
this crime further to the south. Human
nature is the same everywhere, North

the punishment of which it will not
brook the laws delay and uncertainty,
but will wreak summary vengeance
every time.

The militia as a rule suffer much
abuse at the hands of mob which
they are called upon to subdue. and
against which abuse. such as the throw

of discipline renders the soldiers com
paratively powerless individually to
