coming year is equally APPARENT This

coming year is equally APPARENT. This
assurance, of course, came when the
action of the cOnferees was made pub
lie, and it was known that Secretary
Cages recommendation had not been
needed. This knowledge showed fully
and conclusively to those following the
subject closely-irst, that the Sugar
Trust would make this large profit by
reason of the increased duty on sugar,
and, second, that it would not be com
PEELED to pay out any of that profit in
the proposed internal revenue tax upon
it's sugar in stock and those who had
calculated the profits which it would
make during the coming year on this
great accumulation of sugar saw that
the profits would be great and the divi-
dends large.
The result was the advance in sugar
stock, about which there has been so
much talk and denunciation, and which
advance was not due to any perma-
nent advantage, which the new tariff
bill gives to the trust, for, on the con-
trary, the difference between raw and
refined sugars under the new bill, as
already indicated, is 1919 cents per
hundred pounds, while under the Will
son law it is 221a cents per hundred
pounds. A. B. CARSON.

Destroys Their Last Opportunity.

The tariff bill as finally agreed upon
by the conferees restores House rates
on wool within a very slight fraction Of
House rates on sugar This destroys
the last opportunity of the Democratic
party to assert that the bill is favora-
BILE to the sugar trust, and at the same
time gives to the wool producers of the
country the protection which they had
originally been given reason to suppose
that they would receive.

What a Contras-!


A comparison of President Cieve-
lands lack of good faith with Presi-
dent Mckinley's prompt and specific
action:
There is contrast involved in the
tariff legislation just completed by the
Republican party and that which the
Democratic party gave us three years
ago. We do not refer to the difference
between the two measure in point of
form or principle but to the manner
in which the two parties approached
the problem and achieved their re-
spective purposes.
The campaign of 1892, like that of
1883. was fought out upon the tariff
issue. pure and simple. Mr.. Cleveland
had spent the four years of his retire
ment in declaiming against the infa-
nous Republican idea of protection,
the robbery of the toiling masses for
the benefit of the powerful and
wealthy, the blight upon our commerce,
the general wickedness of the whole
thing.
When Mr.. Cleveland was ina ugurat-
ed March 4, 1898, the country natur-
ally expected him to call Congress to-
gether without a moments delay, and
put an end to situation which he had
so persistently and so violently de-
nounced as an intolerable wrong to the
American people.
AS a matter of fact, however, Mr..
Cleveland appears to- have lost his in
terest in revenue reform the moment
1t had served his purpose as stepping
stone to the Presidency. He not only
failed to hasten the repeal Of the Nc
Kinley act, and substitute for it such
legislation as would redeem his prom
Uses, but he actually convened Congress
in extra session and limited that
branch of the government to the arrest
of silver ccinageLa policy which the
Democratic masses, did not favor, and
the announcement Of which a year ear
lier would have defeated him for the
Chicago nomination.
The tariff was taken up by Congress
at its regular session, some months

BECAME a Law Early.

The new tariff measure Is not only
the most acceptable tariff law put upon
the books in many years, but becomes
a law earlier than any tariff act SINCE
the first one enacted by an American
Congress.

A DASTARDLY MURDER.
VIM. Fouch Kills One Man and Perhaps Fatal
" Shoots Three Other Persons.

Milwaukee, Wis, May William
Pouch, 20 years of age. a farm hand
who had worked for Mr. Harris about
two years ago, called at the house,
early Thursday evening. and requested
lodging over night. He was taken in
given supper and assigned room.
About O'Clock Mr.. Harris and the
hired man. Nelson McHolt. arose and
went to the yard to milk the cows
Mrs. Harris and the hired girl remain
ing to prepare breakfast. Pouch left
his room quietly and going to the yard
where the men were milking. had re-
volver and fired at the farmer, killing
him almost instantly The murderer
then shot McHolt in the body, iniiict-
ing probably fatal wound. The man
fell motionleSs to the ground and
Pouch evidently supposed him dead
also.
Pouch calmly left his victims where
they fell and walked leisurely to the
kitchen of the farm house. There he
met Mrs. Harris and the hired girl and
chatted with them. He said Mr.. Har-
ris would not be in for few minutes
and that he would partake of his
breakfast at once. The woman waited
upon the murderer. VINO seemed to rel
ish his meal.
After concluding his breakfast
Pouch shot Mrs. Harris in the breast
and then fired at the hired girl, Helen
Vesbach, aged 20 years. The farmers
wife fell to the floor of the kitchen
with a fatal wound and expired soon
afterward. The hired girl has a chance
of recovery.
After finishing his bloody work the
murderer robbed the house and then
mounting a bicycle, rode away. He
started in a southwesterly direction
A posse of Is is in hot pursuit, and the
chances are he will be captured. They
openly vow that they will lynch the
murderer The supposition of the au-
thorities is that the man is either in
sane or that he committed the terrible
deed in order to hide evidence of an
other crime.

cry compound is used With perfect as

remedy nothing compares with 1t.
AS physicians are all the timei say
ing: The pain over the kidneys, head
