The Infamy of Tariffs.

First in pernicious influence upon
the industries Of the country, is the
deep infamy Of that portion OF the
tariff, which while providing little or
10 government revenues. levles a
silent, deadly, tax o. from ti'e to
fifty per cent. on the wages OF the
workingmau, making milllonaires by
the hundred, and paupers by the hun
dred thousand. One-half of the
wealth of the United States il held
by 1000 persons. The maltlplica'
ton OF millionaires in this country
in this generation, obviously and
necessarily at the expense OF the la
borers, is demonstration Of the cruel
ty and injustice Of the system thai
leads to this result Dlmock1s

The Sugar Schedule.

From Washington comes the
cheering assurance that'the Repuoll-
can tariff committee have agreed on
the sugar schedule which IS to be the
cornerstone of the new Republican
tariff law. The basis Of the new
schedule is a customs rate OF l5c on
sugar of 96 degrees Of po~lariscope
test. which is the dividing line be-
tween raw and refined. 10 this will
be added an eighth Of a cont for re
ciprocity purposes, thus making the
actual duty on sugar of Sc degrees
standard 1929 per pound. This IS
the basis of tue whole schedule, and
the duties run up and down so that
at Is degrees, which is about the
lowest grade of raw sugar, the Gus
toms rate will be q cent q pound al
ter the reciprocity duty is taken OF,
The reiaers wilt get discriminating
duty oil an additional one-eightb
cent a pound. This is a large addl-
ton to the customs dues on raw
sugar and a material reduction on
refined sugar. Let US fervently hope
that this good news will prove true
and that the proposed measure vii
not be slaughtered in the interest o.
some more powerful protected inter
