KEEFE PULLED IN.
Duluth Road Mixes Him Up with
BeII-Burns Case.

William Keefe, a contractor living
on East Fifth street, was arraigned
before Judge Orr yesterday afternoon
on warrant charging him with sub
ornation of perjury. The complaint
sworn to by Emerson Hadlev. attor-
ney for the Duluth road, charges
Keefe with suborning Harry Burns
and Robert Bell as witnesses in the
case brought in the district court by
Joseph Roskoyeck, administrator of
the estate of Roman Kranc, against
the st. Paul & Duluth road The his
tory of the case is familiar to the
readers of the G. O b e. Burns is now
in Winnipeg, and his friends claim
anxious TO return and face the in
dlctment against him, but unable TO
DO SO. The warrant on which Mr.
heete was arrested alleges that he
procured and induced Burns to tesu-
~ in the case. He entered a plea Of
not guilty and the case was continued
10 Monday Judge Orr fixed the bail
al $I,2O0, which was given and Mr.
keefe released.
Mr. Keefe was seen after the pro-
ceedlngs and said he was ready To
lace the charge against him He went
up TO Winnipeg last week for the pur-
pose Of trying to help Burns to re-
turn to st. Paul. He says that Burns
wants 10 come back, but cannot do So
He waived all rights in court. and
asked to be allowed to return, but
Tor some reason cannot do so. He was
held after the hearing for fifteen DAYS
and that time is up today but inter
national courtesy demands that he
be held for two months more. and
having waived his rights. cannot Sc
cure release on habeas corpus proceed
ings at this time. Neither will those
who secured his arrest bring him
back. Mr.. Keefe says he heard about
the move made against him while
away, and he rushed home because
he thought he too might be arrested
on the other side of the line. When
he learned there was a warrant out
for him. he at once secured bondsmen
and went to the municipal court He
says he Is ready for an Immediate

1T DOESN'T BEAT THE DUTCH"

Mr.. Dingley is a Yankee with several
generations of that peculiarly cute
adroit, keen and smart people behind
him. He is the author of the Dingley
tariff, that is said to be the cutest, cum
ningest, shrewdest piece of work ever
devised by human wit for the purpose
of plucking the most feathers from the
goose with the least squawking. Par
ticularly was it supposed to be super
lative in its excellence as a means of
making the foreigner pay the tax In
fact that was it's primal purpose, and
everything was bent to that end, the
foreigner being the especial goose to be
plucked, While the home consumer was
only the incidental goose SO, among
other clever devices to extract from the
foreigner the wherewithal to meet the
generous appropriations of congress,
Mr. Dingley laid a complicated tax on
imports of sugar, aided in the devising
by that philanthropic and wholly I'M
selfish organization popularity known
as the sugar trust, but commercially
known as the American Refining COM
pany.
After making No. 16 Dutch stand
ard one dividing line and a polar
iscope test another, merely to compli-
cate matters and enable all the sac
charine to be got out of the imports, a
provision was added that wherever any
country paid an export bounty on
sugar an additional duty equal to such
bounty should be levied on sugar i'm
ported from such country France,
Germany, Austria, Belgium and Hol-
land have all been engaged for years
past in providing the rest of the peo-
pie of the world who consume sugar
with that useful and necessary condi-
ment at the lowest possible price by
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-11-27

paying to those who export 1T to Tor
eign markets a bounty; and, as most OF
our beet sugar comes from these coun-
tries, their laudable efforts to give us
cheaper sugar are thus neutrallzed by
the Dingley provision. That IS, OF
the tax; if he does, then it makes him
pay more if he gets the export bounty.
This is a cute device, from the Dingley-
an point of view, and we nave 10
doubt that that cute Yankee fehcltateo
himself that by it he had not only
''beat the Dutch" but the French also.
But the Hollander is not so slow
creature as we esteem him. he must
have learned a trick from those YAM
kee Puritans during their sojourn Win
him a couple of centuries ago. Holland
Immediately repealed her sugar bounty
on exports when the Dingley additional
tax was enacted. That exempted her
sugar from this additional tax and
gave her exporters leeway over those
of other bounty-paying countries. But
the Dutchmen only whipped the devil
around the stump. They substituted
for the export bounty an internal
bounty on all sugar refined in Holland
as this paternal government did IN the
Mckinley act. and then turned about,
to get the money to pay this bounty,
and taxed all sugar consumed In that
country. OF course the man who eX-
ports sugar does not consume it, and,
consequently, he pays no internal tax
on it, This is precisely the equivalent
of an export bounty; but, not being
expressly one, does not fall within the
net spread by the Maine Yankee. Sec
rotary Gage and his law advisers are
now trying to devise some way to beat
the Dutch
Unless they can discover some meth
cd by which the Dutch can be out
witted. there is every probability that
Germany and Austria, France and Bel
GUM will follow suit with Holland and
repeal their export bounty, substituting
an internal bounty on all sugar pro-
duced with tax on consumption. In
fact the cable the other day, stating
that the governments of those coun-
tries were comforting as to an agree
ment to repeal the bounty on exports,
indicated that they were preparing TO
beat the Yankee out Of his additional.
1t is possible that this conference has
the same purpose that prior unaValllng
conferences had. the abandonment OF
the entire fostering business, which,
owing to the constant demand for more
and ever more fostering, is breaking
down with it's own weight. But what
ever the purpose, if carried out, the
effect will be to contribute to the def
icits that are perpIexing the treasury
by eliminating the additional tax on
bountied sugar. The incident is use
full. however, as showing how difficult
it is for even a Maine Yankee to beat
