Why Wheat Don't Advance.

The condition Of the growing
wheat crop is such, and the drain
upon the old stocks of wheat, owing
to short crops and famine abroad,
has been such that higher wheat
prices strike many men as a natural
and inevitable result.
They are convinced that prices
should not only 60 higher, but remain
higher, says the St. Louis Republic.
Government crop reports favor the
argument for higher prices. The
movements Of grain and the amounts
shown to be in transit strengthen it.
Old stocks are being rapidly ex-
hausted, and official figures proves
reduced acreage and poor condition
of the crop soon to be harvested.
But no considerable permanent ad-
vance in price can be made.
There is always a speculative
clique in the market organized for the
purpose of keeping down the price
of wheat until the crop is out of the
farmers hands. This was done last
year, it is done every year, and it
can be done again this year.
What makes it possible2 The
gold standard. The great depress.
ing influence in the market now,
which paralyzes all tendencies to.
ward higher prices, is the price OIL
foreign exchange. Gold is in de-
mand and the greater the demand
The greater lis value and the less the
relative of commodities for which it
is exchanged. During the existence
OF conditions under which this coun.
try grew, when money was not con.
stantly approaching in value in com.
pariSon with everything else, it was
possible for prices to advance. But
with a money supply always less than
the demand for it, short supply OF
commodity bears no legitimate re-
lation to its market value.
As result combinations to de.
press prices of commodities and then
to advance them for the profit of the
spectators are easy to those who
can manipulate the movement of the
gold supply. When it is possible to
corner the money Of the world it is
possible to corner anything.

The tariff thinkers are at present
engaged in an effort to fool the farm
ers. To place an import tax upon
products ct which not a pound is
ever imported into this country, on
the pre,ense Of protecting the farm
err" is an absurbity too palpable to
deceive any man with half an idea,
yet a tariff on wheat is the bait that
is being cast out for the farmers vote.

SUGAR TRUST PROFITS
John Do witt Warner Makes Some
Estimates and Scores the Trust.

E1-Congressman John De Witt War
her is one Of the best posted men In this
country on sugar tariffs. When In con-
gress he carried the house for free
sugar. In a recently published state
ment he estimates the net protection
to the trust given by the Aldrich sched-
ule at from IS cents to St.l4 on every
100 pounds Of refined sugar.
Without attempting to give his nrgu-
ment as to each Of the ways In which
the trust would be protected we give
his summary Of trust profits as follows:
Specific differential (plus). .....p 1890 40
Thirty-flve per cent ad valorem
dlflerentlal..........,. ...... lty II
Countervailing duty. say.......... o $50 0 IS
Additional 10y substitution OF 70
per cent. ad valorem for specific
duties In low grades. o ooS 0 Is
Total. 20 25Gu "A
In the vast majority OF cases, however,
the actual result IL between IS and 90 cents
per 100 pounds net protection to the trust,
cumstances as to bring this below 40 cents
or above 90 cents for any considerable
amount
As an item Of tariff taxation the
sugar schedule Is ideal from the pro-
tectionist standpoint. Sugar Is the one
article used by poor and rich TO an
equal extent, and tax on which there
fore falls most heavily on the poor in
proportion to their ability to pay II.
Its production and distribution are con-
trolled by a concern which is at once
the greatest Of our mean trusts and the
meanest Of our great ones.
1t is consistent therefore that on this
one article there should be levied more
than one-third Of our total tariff taxa
ton, and that our people should be bur-
dened by tax Of more than s9O,OOO,OOO
that realizes less than $7O,OOO,OOO for
the treasury and more than 100000
for the sugar refining combine. while
the same combine is enabled to net
an additional slO,oOO,OOO by the oppor-
tunlty given TO it TO import at present
duty rates raw sugars from which it
can make refined to be sold by it under
the enhanced price assured 1t by the
proposed Aldrich schedule. The net
protection" Of from as to 60 cents per
100 pounds given the trust on its rein
ing process alone should be considered
as sufficient when we remember that
the labor cost Of this process is slightly
less than 6Ea cents per 100 pounds-that
is to say, Senator Aldrich, in behalf OF
American labor, proposes unduly to tax

Company of Federal Troops to Be Sent to
st. Michaels.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-At the cab.
met meeting, which lasted over two
hours, the situation in Alaska was dis
cussed. Secretary of War Alger had a
report from Captain Ray, who has just
reached Alaska, which furnished the
basis for the discussion, and the course
which vas decided upon. Captain Rays
report was III the nature Of an urgent
appeal for troops to preserve peace and
order during the coming winter. There
are a vast amount Of stores and sup.
plies at St. Michaels and there
is not a United States soldier in the
whole territory Of Alaska. After
considering the subject it was decided
to send company of infantry to St.
Michaels as soon as possible. Secretary
Alger will arrange the detail imme-
diately, and he hopes to have the com.
pany sail within a week, probably from
Seattle. He has not yet selected the
officer who will be placed i'll command,
nor does he yet know from what post
the company will be taken. This &C.
ton is effect the establishment of a
military post at the mouth of the Yu.
koa. The commanding officer proba.
bly, will be allowed great discretion, and
latitude, as the purpose in sending the
troops there is to preserve order. Secle.
tary Alger declines at present to max
public Captain Rays report.
