Dorcas. The word means doe, roe. ante.

st. Peter expresses no objection to going to her

called Tabitha, which is an equivalent in

Charitable to the poor. Itmay be she possessed
considerable wealth. She. however. performed
manual work. If not by riches, yet by in
dustry, she was able to help others rather than
in condition of dependence.
The disease from which Dorcas suffered is

Joppa is not far from LYDIA. Probably the

selves to comprehend the truth that
while we live this human life. and devel-

natural body we are creating. but the
seed of the spiritual body which is to

This is not a mystical doctrine. All
those who in this life have attained

change from a natural to a spiritual liv-

DECEirFUL DEALING.


II will be observed that the advocates
Of the Dingley bill are careful to speak
OF the sugar differential as one-eighth
OF a cent a pound. or 1874 cents per 100
pounds. by the "differential" is meant
The extra duty put IN refined sugar for
the benefit Of the sugar trust. Refined
sugar under the present law pays 1874
cents per hundred more duty than raw
sugar. But this means 1914 tents more
thar raw sugar of the lowest as well
nv the highest grade. This "differen-
tial" ought not to have been in the bill.
IL was put there by t~raitorous senators
who called themselves democrats CO.
operating with the republicans. On ac-
count of IL the republicans denounced
the bill as q trust bill" because il had
cut down the Mckinley differential only
rs per cent.
In spite Of their denunciation of the
trust bill of 1904. they r willing to adj
NIT hat their bill contains the same
differential as that of 1894. This, how
ever. is "A deception. The differential is
larger in the Dingley bill, and those
who understand the subject know it.
b tax on raw sugar testing IS de-
grees by the polariscope is one cent n
pound, or n dollar per 100. The tax on
refined sugar is s1.s7H per 100 pounds.
or. in decimals, $l.s75. Thus refined
sugar is taxed seven-eighths Of a dollar
per 100 pounds more than raw sugar of
the lowest grade. Under the present
law 1t is only 1874 cents per 100 pounds,
In addition to the 40 per cent ad val
orem On raw sugar.
1t Is true that the tax on raw sugar
in the Dingley bill is on n sliding scale.
For each degree over rs there is added a
tax Of 3-100 of a cent n pound, so that
by the time we get to 100 degrees. the
tax amounts TO Sl.75 per 100 pounds,
and 1914 cents added to make the duty
IN refined sugar $1.s75. Eut this takes
no account of the smaller tax on sugar
less than 100 degrees. In point Of fact.
If we go back TO 1880, when this sliding
scale was in use before. there was no
sugar imported testing 100 degrees. nor
yet any at 90 degrees. There was a
small quantity at 90 degrees, but all
imports above "a were comparatively
unimportant. On the other hand, there
were imported 100000 900 pounds test
iEg s4 and IS degrees. and nearly 400,-
COO. 900 pounds testing 90 degrees. Be-
low 81 degrees the qualities imported
we're smaller. but still considerable, ex-
tending all the way to and including
rs degrees. The rate then ranged from
$1.40 to $2.7j per 100 pounds. the latter
for sugar testing 100 degrees, but the
average tax on the whole was about
two cents a pound, or about equal to
that imposed on sugar ut 90 degrees.
Let us apply this 90 degree test to
the differentinls. Under the Dingley bill
sugar at 80 degrees pays SLAB per 100
pounds. Taking this as IN average,
and ~subtracting it from S1.s7h. we
have aga cents per 100 as the true diff
ferential in favor of the trust.-Louis-
Vile Courier-Journal.

btouO the Test.
1t 10 reported from Washington that
President McKinley's currency commits

during the recess OF congress has not
been abandoned entirely, according to
the declarations of republican leaders.
II has been determined. however. that
the tariff shall have right of way.
This means. of course. that in view
of what is beginning to look like q des-
perate tariff emergency. the republic
an professions Of favor for the pro-
posal to promote international bimetal-
ism must be kept before the federal
lawmakers. All signs point to trouble
ahead for the tariff-makers. and il Is
thought TO be wise not TO let any doubt
as to the republican position in support
Of the conference proposition consti-
tute an additional obstacle to the a r
rying out of the tariff programme. BY
postponing the dispensing of patronage
and keeping to the front the professed
republ can intention to do the fair
thing by silver the administration Is
doing all that il can to make the road
VI Nv u blil - ittic IOthy as pos-
sible.
What effect this policy will have on
the silver republicans in the senate can
hardly be foretold. but II is not amiss
to remember that some of them yielded
to the siren voice of the international
agreement vocalist last summer, and
they may be prepared TO do it again.
They are all pr~otectionists. Of course.
and they may consent to aid in estab-
fishing the proposed protective policy.
although their pet product is not in
cludcd in its provisions. In this they
will be influenced, doubtless. by the
hope that their turn will come later.
and no more delusive hope ever took
up its abode in the human breast.
1t is likely. however. that this at

silverites. while it may achieve that end.
will not operate to save the condemned
and repudiated tariff bill from serious
trouble in the senate. That measure is
too clearly a terrific blow at the public
