Experiments locking to the taking from

very great success. The wind was not

be most practicable from the House roof

Mr. Eddy then obtained permission to
fly the kites on the Coast and Geodetic
Survey roof. This was not as goUd \

Hospital. Mr.. Eddy flew one kite with

THE!PEOPLE'S PARTY.

"The American" an able Philadelphia
publication, Independent in politics,
thus discourses in an able and lengthy
article:
"We must, then, look elsewhere for
the party of the people. The Peoples
party in its cardinal tenets comes up to
the measurement. Yet the Peoples
party cannot, as such, unite the defend
ers of human rights, and lead the way
to victory. Within the party itself
there is bitter discord, discord bred of
unworthy jealousy, discord bred Of
mutual distrust of the motives of we'll.
meaning, patriotic men. Mere jealousy
of leaders, the desire to equalize by pull
ling down rather than by building up is
contemplate. Those who harbor it are
unworthy of the great cause to which
they profess to be attached with heart
and soul. But that there should be dis
trust of leaders, even though such dis
trust be unmerited, is natural. The peo-
pie have so often been betrayed by their
chosen leaders that they are suspicious.
There is also scattered among the lead
ers of the Populist movement spirit of
domineering that is the breeder of dis
sensions, fateful to union and success.
''The Populist party is now on the eve
of a split. The two wings should be
harmonized and brought together, not
by compromise, but by mutual under
standing that can come to men only
when willing to grant to those who hold
different views the same high motives
for action as each man claims for him
self. We are satisfied the disCord among
the defenders of human rights is the
outcome of misunderstanding of motives
and purposes rather than of real differ
ences. II it is not so, sorry indeed is
our country's plight, for discord must
prove fatal"
There is much in the foregoing worth
considering. loo many people in al
walks of life cultivate a carping, fault
finding disposition, and hence discord
results. Further on the editor says:
"In 1896 we gave our support to Mr..
Bryan, not because we were satisfied
with the platform of the Democratic
party or its candidate, but because we
saw in the rejuvenated Democratic party
the promise of brighter future, ray
of promise that it would become in
whole, as 1t had in part, the champion
of policies dictated by regard for the
rights of man."

THE TARIFF INIQUITY.

1t was entirely within the power of
Congress at its regular session to give
the country the retrenchment, revenue
and rest which alone were needed to
secure prosperity. 1t was only neces-
sary to pass a simple measure, which
Mr.. Cleveland would hav been glad
to approve, imposing obviously just
taxes upon beer and a few other ar
ticles.
But Mr.. Mckinley demanded of his
party that it should give him an excuse
for calling tariff-ripping extra session.
1t was foreseen that if sufficient revenues
we're provided and no session of Con-
gress held until December, there would
be no excuse for tariff tinkering and
hence no opportunity to repay campaign
contributions with benefits.
So the country must endure business
prostration and industrial uncertainty
in order that the trusts and the favored
classes may be rewarded for their liber-
ality in supporting campaign upon a
totally different and now ignored issue.
Is this craftsmanship? Does it pro-
mise prosperity? Is it what the Republic
cans and Democrats who elected McKin-
ley voted for?-New York World.

THEsUGAR TRUST AND MILLIONS.

Senator Tillman last week proposed
an enquiry to find out if Senators had
been speculating in sugar trust stock,
and in his remarks reproduced an eX-
tract from Mr., Havemeyer's testimony
as taken by the Senate committee in
1894. We reproduce part. In reply
to Senator Alien:
Mr.. Havemeyer-We undertake to
control the price of refined sugar in the
United States. That must be distinctly
understood.
Senator Allep-And the price of re.
fined sugar in the United States is higher
to the American people IN consequence
of the existence of the American sugar
refining company than it would be il
the different companies in your organ.
ization were distinct and independent
companies?
Mr., Havemeyer-For a short time it
is.
Senator Allen-And what difference
does it MAKE for the consumers in this
country in year, in your Judgment
Mr.. Mr.Havemeyer-It has been in three
years past IS of a cent more on every
pound they ate, as against doing business
at loss.
Senator Allen-And that would be
about how much in round numbers
Mr.. Havemeyer-It is q large sum in
the aggregate.
Senator Allen-How many millions?
Mr.. Havemeyer-I should say it was
close to $25, 200, 900 in three years.
Senator Allen-And you intend to
keep your hold upon the American peo.
pie as long as you CAM
Mr.. Hayemey er-As long as the Me-
Kinley bill is there we will exact that
profit.
Mr.. Havemeyer was quite open and
frank until the committee wished to
know the amount of money the trust
contributed to the Republican party.
He admits profit of $25, 900, 900 in three
years and said "as long as the Mckinley
bill is there We will exact that profit" "
The sugar schedule in the Senate bill
gives rates more favorable than did the
Mckinley law. OF course these millions
all come out of the pockets of the Ameri.
can people. "What's one mans meat is
another mans poison" says the old
saw.
