going further and reminding 1T that,
saving the after of treasury notes, the
Boies plan is precisely that en-
bodied in the bill presented to
the senate by Senator James K.
Jones, of Arkansas, in the closing days
of the Fifty-third congress. When the
Democratic party's convention returns
to a sufficient degree of calmness to
present a policy having for its essential
base the proposition of either Mr.. Boies
or Senator Jones, there will be furnish
ed a policy on which it is
probable that all Democrats can
get together. The only value we at
tach to the present position of Mr..
Boies is that carried by the judgment
of a man intelligent enough to know
what cannot be done and to see what
is possible, but without any rigidity
of conviction.

TAXES AND SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

The export bounties upon sugar, paid by
Germany, France and other continental gov
ernments, taken in connection with the total
absence of any import duty in England
have had the effect of so cheapening sugar in
the latter country as to make the per capita
consumption greater even than in the United
States. Heretofore our people have led the
world as sugar eaters.-Pioneer Press.
We wish it could be truthfully said
that the people of the United States
have led the world as sugar eaters"
but it cannot. We would have sur
passed England but for the foolish
refusal to permit our people to enjoy
the benefit of the efforts of Germany,
France and Austria to cheaper their
sugar. England welcomed it, and her
people have led the world as sugar
eaters" with the United States a good
second. The effect of taxation is no.
where more clearly exhibited than in
sugar, although everywhere similarly
felt. In 1867 the tax on imports of
sugar was 3 cents a pound on raw and
cents on refined, and the consumption
was under thirty pounds a head. In
1872 refined was reduced to cents and
consumption rose to forty pounds In
1883 the duty was reduced to SO cents,
and the consumption ranged from fifty
two to fifty-six pounds. The act of
1890 put raw sugar on the free list and
taxed refined (above No. 16 Dutch
standard of coloD IS cents a pound and
another i If from bounty paying coun-
tries. Consumption jumped to sixty-six
pounds under the decreased cost. Then
came the German act with it's tax of 40
per cent ad valorem and Il Of a cent
pound on refined and / additional on
sugar from export-bounty countries,
and consumption fell to 626 pounds in
1895 and about fifty pounds in 1896.

SOME COMMUNICATIONS.

Our contribution box, whose. contents
are published in this mornings
G o be, shows that readers Of the
paper are doing lively thinking on pub
lie questions during what is COM
monty called the dull season"
This is to us as hopeful
sign Of the times as would be
an increase in the clearing house re-
turns or in the orders addressed to our
local dealers. The salvation of the
world lies in the application of intelH-
gence and conscience to all the prob
lens that have beset man and govern
ments since society was organized. A
people that rouse themselves once in
two or four years to think about right
public policy, and to pass upon issues
about which they have in the mean
time made no study and cared nothing.
will not have either good times or
good government. 1t is the people who
attack the topics Of the day, as the
days events develop them, who will
finally advance through the maze of
error into the broad plain where the
armies of truth are encamped. So if ia
our pleasure to give publicity to the
honest ideas Of men interested in public
affairs, however fully we may agree or
disagree with them.
Each of these classes has representa-
tlVes In the letters published in to-
days issue. We have already express
ed ourselves fully on the subject of
prison labor. The last legislature
Notwithstanding the almost una minors
appeal of the people of the state, did
nothing to improve the situation. as if
dld nothing to advance almost any
public interest. That the labor of the
inmates OF our prisons should be used
as far as possible to improve the public
highways is a proposition in which all
OF us are agreed. The mistake Of the
reformers is that they have aimed in
nearly all the states, at merely abolish
ing the system Of contract labor in
penal institutions, without putting any,
thing in it's place. This has gone in
New York, to the horrible extreme of
leaving thousands of men in enforced
idleness, to choose between suicide and
the descent to the level of the brute
that are the only exits from such an
unnatural condition. The provision of
employment for the prisoner is a deep
problem, which only few persons care
to study. Certainly the Capitalization
Of prison labor upon one occupation.
in which, aided by the powerful force
of modern machinery, it comes into
direct competition with outside in
dustry, is wrong. Equally wrong is If
that the malefactors should be support
ed at the cost Of free labor without
assisting to earn their own living. Com
bined with these principles must be
held in mind the necessity of aiding the
offender to reform and making him a
useful member of society, to which
employment is absolutely essential.
To the letter of NJ Paradis it is hard
ly necessary for us to make any reply,
since the points that he makes have
been covered so fully and frequently
in articles in these columns. 1t may be
sufficient to say, without raising any
controversy over details in which the
correctness of the statements may be
questioned, that he slurs over the vital
point of the "16 to T. doctrine Every
body on his side seems to take it for
granted that that particular ratio has

BOTH TO ONE CONCERN.
State Printing Commission Ava ds
Two Contracts.

The state printing commission met yes
terday and awarded the contracts for the third
and fifth classes of state printing both to the
Pioneer Press Printing company, or, strictly
speaking, to Walter ]. Driscoll. The third
class consists of the department reports. and
on this there was very close race between
the P. P. and Harrison & Smith, of Mime
apolis, who were the lowest bidders. After
some long drawn out computations, Capt. C.
c. Whitney, the state printer, decided that
the Pioneer Press bid was about $3.50 lower on
the whole job. and the commissioners there
fore awarded it the contract. The fifth class
includes the miscellaneous printing, and on
this the Pioneer Press was also figured out
lowest for while their charge for compost
ton was higher. they were less graspng in
their charges for press work.
The commission had some discussion of
bill for printing the house and senate jour
nails, which was submitted by J. w. Cunning
ham, in which the price charged was double
the scale Mr.. Cunningham explained that
the charge made that way because tile
work done was all night work. and for that
reason was twice as expensive, while Capt.
Whitney produced the law which showed that
the extra charge for this class of work was
sanctioned thereby. The bill will be paid.
