sugar Trust Exists No Longer

We are assured by The Sugar Trade Journal of May 13-organ of the Sugar trust-that If ever monopoly existed in the sugar refining business 1t exists no longer, and it is not likely that it will ever be renewed. '' This k delight ful news. The Journal was discussing m amendment to the senate bill to have refined sugars pay the same duties as raw sugars in cases where the manafae- ture is controlled by a monopoly. If this
 visionary proposal should pass the senate, it t-would jeepaldize the tariff bill aud the Sugar trusts tens of millions of surplus profits, which are SO near at hand that the mouths of Have meyer and searles arewatering for them. The Sugar trust trembIes at the prospect and tries to keep up its courage by hay ing it's organ inform the world tbat A lot cf such visionary propesais will, 10 doubt, Ee introduced while the bill is under disaussicn but ill the end the sound judgment men will control and tariff bill Ee passed without very much change from the senate schedule.

THE BIGTCLE IND HEILTH

Reports of deaths from bicycle riding are getting to be d not un- usual feature of the news in our exchanges, says the Washington Post Occasionally the telegraph announces that distinguished citizen has died suddenly from this cause Last week two or three prominent men in as many cities were reported to have fallen from their wheels dead, or nearly 90, while riding up steep grades. All of these were afflicted with heart disease. As a result of these mel ancholy incidents We have an out pouring of kindly comment on the dangers of the bicycle. Some of our contemporaries appear to be lieve that no person who is not sufficiently robust for the most exaeting athletic feats should ven ture 10 mount that vehicle. This, it seems to us, is quite as absurd as the notion Of the opposite extrem- ists that the wheel is a necessarily wonderful promoter of health and longevity Violent exercise of any kind is not good fer the average constitution Persons Vho have organic diseases of any description should not undertake crush bi- cycle up steep grade. X person whose heart or lungs are defective has no reason to hope for immunity in such exercise No reputable physician would advise pr fal to warn against such risk.
 The truth as to tbe wheel and those who ride it is that it is good fl properly used Iu many cases it has been a substantial aid iu the development of strength and vital ity. There are scores Of men and women in this city who are health fer and happier, more useful in their families and in society than they would have been fl the bicycle had not been invented. They have used and not abused [. On the other hand, there are men and women and boys and girls whose health has  been seriously and, in some instanc- es, irreparably injured by excessive or inludicioas bicycling Like all. other good things the wheel may be perverted from blessing 10 a curse.

Perpetual Motion by Protection.

 The California argument for higher fruit duties is a sort of perpetual mo tien. The only disadvantage the Cali feFnian fHit raiser is at is To he found in the cost of his land, hut the only thing that makes his land expensive Is the poGtablcusss If fruit culture
 So the matter works out iu this way The great profits Of fruit raising sent the value of land mp to hundreds of dol lars all acre. The interest on the value of the land makes a large item in a fruit raiser's balance sheet. and be feels tho need of d high price for his fruit This Senator Jones procures for him by letting it Le known that he will not vote for the tariff til unless it contains duties on hides and increased duties on fruit and tbe cheapest sorts of wool
 The increased duty adds to the profits of fruit culture. and the price of land takes another rise, Whereupou the fruit grower complains that the interest on his land investment is so great or the rental he has Co pay for his land is so high that there is an insufficient profit in the bnslness for him, and the only thing that will save him from disaster is more duty.
 Logically this process ean be carried on indefinitely. Practically 1t cannot, because with the increase in the price of fruit the consumption of fruit will decline. The consumer will be worse pff for the change The grower, 50 far Is he is not fO la fr.,sif}era1 ae o 1a,1 owner, will be no better of, but the value of the land will sa IS high as the profits of fruit culture will permit. - Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
