Sugar Trust Proats Cinched.

Tho trusts have q cinch on Dingley
bill profits. OF course they will make
many times mor if the bill becomes
law in anything like its present shape,
but they are already engaged in taking
part of their profits.
Sugar has risen considerably in an
t~icipation of greatly increased duties,
snd merchants all over the country arc
laying in stores because still higher
prices are expected. The sugar trust is
consequently busy and rolling up prof
its. In April it imported 757,799,527
pounds of raw sugar, valued at $14,747,-
139. An extra profit of one-half cent
per pound on this amount-which is al
ready realized or guaranteed-means
nearly $4,000, 900 to the trust.
If the bill is two months longer in its
passage, the trust will surely pocket
SIC, 900 900 extra profits before the bill
becomes law. Who a protection is
not a good thing? And why shouldn't
Senator Aldrich push it along and in
turn get his street railway syndicates
pushed along by the sugar trust? Isn't
this reciprocity? Wouldn't Aldrich be
all migrate if he should desert his
friends and hackers when he has an OPP
Cortunity to help them.

"A License to Steal"

That must nave Deer embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll ID. Wright
furnished that body last week concern
ing the labor cost Of lumber in this coun.
try and in Canada. His figures showed
that, while the average wages in Canadi-
an sawmills is $1.41 and Sill per day
here, the average labor cost of 1000
feet Of lumber is SIPS in Canada and
only "a cents here. The decreased cost
of production in this country is attrib-
uted to the superior machinery used.
OF course, the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid docs not indicate the cost of pro.
auction-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
idissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get a tariff on Canadian lum.
Der SO that they can the more etfectually
rob American consumers. Protection.
lists care nothing for facts. What they
want is q license to steal.-Nationa!

tating silver. 1t did 50 adjourn,
and the results have followed, just
as he said.
This would also indicate that
Europeans do not ascribe the fnan-
cial panic which struck the whole
world in 1898 to the Sherman law,
the Wilson tariff law, and to the
repeal Of the Mckinley law. That
panic was general, and nowhere
was it felt with greater force than
in London, where the failure Of
the Barings marked it's high tide.
Following this panic a general
business depression has settled on
the industrial classes Of all gold
standard countries which will re
main until the cause is removed
! and silver is restored to it's equal
power with gold at the minis. We
have no power to legislate for
Europe, but we can move the
cause of business depression here,
and bring on an era of prosperity
as far as this country is concerned
by restoring the free coinage of
silver.

HEAVY DUTIES ON LINENS.
VIII Deprive the People OF n Useful
EabYic

Fabric.
The following are some Of the COM
ments of a ma we'll acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doctored Dingley bill:
The proposed duties on linen goods
under the amended Dingicv bill are
heavier than ever, although it has been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
35 per cent. and yielded a steady rev.
enue to the government. The rates now
proposed vary from 50 to 100 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods, which are chiefly
used in the homes Of the poorer people.
A cheap tablecloth o selling at re-
tail at rs cents per yard will have to be
sold at 37h cents to 40 cents if the
quality be kept up.
Medium linens for chil0ren's summer
blouses will be assessed @91s per cent,
and the retail price Will have to go up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American industries. as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 20 to 30
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is not
necessary for %revenuc but the effect
will be that the people will in many
cases substitute something cheaper,
and thus be deprived of this useful
fabric, and the revenue will be CORES
pondingly diminished. 1t is said that
linen goods can be made here, but this
has been tried again and again, and ex-
cept in the case of a few low crashes
has been a failure, owing to the climate
and other difficulties, but even if they
could be made here the rates are I'M
necessarily oppressive. The entire cost
of weaving linen goods in Europe is
about 7H to 10 per cent. the selling
price of the article here, and in Amer
lea the cost should not be at the very
outside more than double this percent
age, so that, even if republican theories
be true, a protection of 35 per cent.
should be ample to allow for higher
wages and extra profits for our man
u~Gacturers.
1t is possible spectators may start
mills on the strength Of these excessive
rates, sell the stock and then step out.
leaving the unfortunate laborer and
manufacturer to face the difficulties Of
the situation as best they can. The Ia
borer probably. having been brought
here from Europe (for labor is on tho
free list), with unreasonable expecta-
tions, will be left to Join the army Of
disappointment and discomfort. Why
should these exorbitantly high rates
be assessed on an article more or less in
use in every household in the land, and
the cost Of living 80 much increased in
these days of keen competition and
small profits? Why should the plain
people be taxed to put more money in
the pockets Of, the rich? If the wealthy
manufacturers want 10 make expert
ments. let them do so at their own cost.

o BUG

Gold-bug prophecies SO invarl-
ably prove false that one is given a
rude shock when one happens to
prove true. The following is 4
notable exception to the rule that
as prophets gold bugs are not a
success.
During the monetary conference
at Brussels in 1892, MI. Alfred de
Rothschild, a delegate from Eng
land, said:
"Gentlemen, l need hardly remi d you
that the stock Of silver III the world is esti-
mated at some thousands of millions, and il
this conference were to break up without ar.
riv ..ng at any definite results tn. re would be a
depreciation in the value OF that commodity
winch it would be frightful to contemplate
and out Of which a monetiry panic would en-
sue the farspreading effects Of which it would
be imp ossible to ~toretell."
This is probably the only predic:
ton Of a gold advocate that has
ever been fulfilled. He predicted
in 1902 the crisis which was Their

should adjourn without rehabili-
