The sugar tariff is settled and at rest
in the senate, and most'fikely will net
be rcagitated in the house. The duty
proposed LF the caucus Of a'pub.cah
senators, aid approved by the senate at
large, is compromise between that re-
ported hy the senate finance Comm ttec
aud that approved by The hensa as l.uri
OF The ling'cy I'LL. The duty as new
fixed is in excess OF the Mckinley ard
Wilson tariffs, but still is lower than the
0tl-time rates. There is an absolute
necd of i"crcase Of revenue to provide
for depleted treasury and a slight ad-
dition to the sugar duly certainly is per-
ferahlc to a l0-cent duty Oh tea. anl will
be less burlelsomc.p No take this from
one OF the 6. o. p.'s official organs in
Ohio: 1t is vrTy naivc explanation
very. Between the lines i. ia an ads
mission that a protective tariff is a fail
ure as a revenue measure. TIE only
protection sugar tariff gives is TO the
sugar refining trust. After making the
tariff on manufactured goods practically
prchibitive, for the benefit of tho Nav
England manufacturers, the Republicans
look elsewhere for means to run the
government. Meanwhile the great west
must foot the bill; It's u sort of trap
which catches the western farmer com
ing and a going.

Seine queer dues down around
Chamberlain. They perrer TO discount
their warrants three OF four por cent to
local buyer than to send them to a
Klmball man and get par hy return
mail. A himball man offered to take
the entire April issue Of warrants at par.
Tho Chamberlain buyers, in order to
secure any. had to meet the riice, and
those who had thom to sell couldn't get
them into Cilambcrlain mems hands TOO
qnickly-despite tho Well kllown etbic
of business that the first offer. if not
raised, takes the stuff. Even the con-
missloEers. some of them, who should
naturally taken pridain our warrants be-
ing at par, would not give the Kimball
buyer an even show. That cur warrants
have brought. the prize they have il dug
solely to Kimbali buyers. Every dollar
OF the $4,000 of seed grain warrants
were taken by Kimball men. Had KIM
ball men bought artesian we'll warrants
they would have brought 95 instead Of
50. No Chamberlain buyer of county
warrants has eyer raised tho price of
Bfule county warrants a Gent. we made
tho remark last April that those WHO
were so ready to sell their warrants at
par 10 anyone out OF Klmbal! would git
less for their warrants hereafter before
they would get more. Brue county
warrants are worth about 95 cents as
marketable securities ana as warrants
are selling in other counties. seven
per cent warrant running over two years
is equivalent to about 6 per cent coHl-
pound intercst-Mlilcl, plenty of solid
banks pay-and with them tho money
can be had any moment. There is no
particular object III paying Ear for
brule county warrants when so many
are ANXIOUS to dispose of theirs fer lesa.
There are plenty Of warrants in other
counties going for less than par, and
paid inside Of a year. kimbali buyers
could probably keep Brule county war
rants at par indefinitely, but they have
small encouragement to do so. even by
those most interested, financially and
otherwise, and they are now buying
them at a discount same as the other
fellows. No kick coming from this di-
rection, understand, but we haye written
some plain facts about the disposal Of
the warrahts-just because VIC couldn't
think OF anything else at the moment
with which to ill space.
