MAKE SUGAR AT HOME.
How Paying Tribute to the Trust
May BE Avoided.

May BE Avoided.
Narragansett Pier, r. l., Aug. 25.-Ed-
itor Morning News: l have been much in
terested in your editorial of Aug. Il. head
ed, '"The Advance In Sugar"
As your paper has the largest circulation
among the planters Of South Georgia and
Florida, l take the liberty of suggesting
that you advise them to calculate whether
it win not be more profitable for them, at
present prices to make sugar from their
cane juice than TO make il all into syrup;
and If they find IL to be so this winter, It
will, no doubt induce the planting Of a
much larger acreage in cane another year.
Excellent, very light bro Hn. sugar was
made in our section during the war, and
it can be made now. il SUFFICIENT care IS
used.
II congress Is unwilling and the supreme
court OF the United States is unable to
control the sugar trust, the people can
avoid paying tribute 90 il by avoiding it's
products and. as far as possible, using
home products instead

before the railways had mad. any real ad-
vaucement at home.
They were bitterly fought by all classes,
and particularly by coach owners ana peo-
pie interested 4 in that great Industry. The
first railway promoters We're very much
worried. and resorted to all sorts of ex-
pedients to gain favor with the public The
coaches Of that time were something like
what You call the tally hos in New YORK
siearly all of them had low iron railing
around The top TO keep the baggage from
falling off that was piled up there. In
rainy weather the coachnIan would throw
oiied skins or tarpaulins over the trunks To
keep them dry.
The railway people built their first cars
{" represent the bodies Of coaches put in a
line on q pla form. They went ~ far as to
have the little iron railingson top the same
as witli the regular coach, and there they
pat the baggage instead Of In what you
call the baggage car, and in rainy weather
The guards would put tarpaulius over the
trunks. More coinioal, still from a modern
point Of view, some OF the cars W. ere mere
platforms. upon which gentlemen lvGud
put their private coaches TO be transported

1T was no uncommon sight in those years
TO see a train OF which the first two cars
were a line of mai,e-heIieye coaches; the
next car was a platioruf on which were
fastened three real coaches. aud sH. jpurtii

the thirdclass passengers travelled
'tThe fares were Considered very cheap
in those days. because they were only one
half or one-third nf what the regular
coaches charged. but they were very dear

therefore. got much ahead of Us soon

A SWINDLED STATESMAN
His Name is Bryan. and How He
 Was Cheated.

We are pained to earn from .he Kansas City Times that certain nn- regenerated residents of Wichita. Kansas, have recently done q great wrong. It appears that the Hon. William Jennings Bryan delivered q speech it the Wichita county fair the other day in pursuance of a contract by which he was to have received 0ne-half .he proceeds.
 The gate receipts upon the oeasion referred to were about $1 500. and Mfr. Bryan received $2,400 as his share. It now appears that with out Mr. Bryan's knowledge, and without the aid or consent of any other nation. an admission fee WAS also charged at the grandstand, whereby about S2,000 additional was acquired. As Kansas is Pro hibition State only G,000 bottles of beer were sold on Bryan day at the Wichita fair. The talented Nebras- kan was buneoed out of his share of the grand stand receipts and also one half of the beer profits. 1t thus appears that instead of receiving $3, 400 and one-half of the wet goods revenue for talking an hour, he real iy was paid only beggarly $2.10o.
 Whithcr are we drifting when such outrages as this can be perpetrated2 Is honor dead93 Has Kansas no shame? Of course, the merepittance $9, 9,4O0-instead of $1 200 OF lesa as he would prefer-hnt even that fact offers no excuse for the wiekedness of Wichita. 1t was a mighty mean trick Chieago Times Herald.
