HOW HE GAINED WEALTH.


Theodore A. Havemeyer, the mil
lionaire sugar king, once told how he
attained success: ''For twenty-five
years I was at work at A. M, and did
not. leave the refinery until Z P. M. I
never went to bed at night until I had
gone through the whole esta blishment.
Many times [ worked all the night
long. While I was a single man my
expenses never exceeded $50 month.
Pilot bread and cheese made for me
many a meal. A canvas suit was my
daily apparel, and there was no part OF
the business at which and my brother
did not work, no part we considered
too dirty or too arduous or beneath
u.s." And the Duluth Neavs- Tribune in
commenting upon this remarks: And

A BILL has been introduced by r

A BILL has been introduced by Rep
resentative Fowler, of New Jersey,
providing for tariff commission COM
posed of seven members who are to be
appointed by the president. This
commission is to investigate federal
taxation, recommend changes and adj
just the inequalities of existing laws.
The members are to serve for the term
of twenty one years. Commenting
upon this innovation the Baltimore
Herald says: 'sUnder such a scheme
nothing would be secure or safe, and
business threatened now at long inter
walls by legislative interference with
customs duties might be constantly
threatened and harried by the changes
introduced through a special commits
sion. The present system may have
its faults, but it is in no wise certain
that the wisd om, patriotism, and capa-
bilities Of a commission would exceed
the exercise of those virtues in the
United States congress. a

MINNEAPOLIS Journal: What an alb
surd spectacle the Democratic organs
present bowling about the high prices
which they say will follow the etfectu-
alton of the proposed new tariff! These
organs all last year we're calling for
higher prices. They said all products
Of the field and factory were too low.
They wanted big boom prices for
everything tools, machinery, blank
cts, clothing, bread stutfs, groceries,
medicine. every thing the people have
to consume. To-day they are filling
the air with racket because they think
the Republican tariff will do the very
thing they said the people wanted last
year! Bryan himselfs was always de-
handing in stentorian tones a boom of
higher prices. What is the matter

The recent shipment of gold to Eu-
rope has furnished topic for a large
amount of comment. One of the most
pointed statements of the cause Of the
depleted condition Of our treasury APP
pears in the Philadelphia Record.
ssGold goes out Of the United States to
countries where there is greater pres
ent need for it. Like any other mer-
chandise, it drifts in the direction of
greatest demand. We lose nothing by
the transaction. No one parts with
his gold unless he receives for it full
acquittance. The only Undesirable fea-
ture of the export movement is that
the gold is withdrawn from the treas
ury, where it serves as the sole imme-
date means OF ying outstanding de-
Imand Indebtedness, instead Of being
taken from the ordinary repositories
Of money used for commercial pur.
poses. Our pernicious system Of gov.
ernment legal-tender paper currency
exposes the public credit to constant
and unnecessary menace, and makes
our fnanciering the mock Of the civ
ilized world

AGREES WITH US.

There must be something terribly
rotten about the State boiler inspec-
ton service when such things as that
which is reported from Milaca are con-
sidered. Death and injury to five men
through fimsy and incompetent in
spection should move the present ad-
ministration to wake up and do some
thing toward Kidding it Of the stigma
of making appointments merely to pay
political debts and not with regard to
fitness. AS it now stands, boiler in
spection on the part of the State is a
farce, and not a very humorous one at
that. Rush CITY Post. Ssh

is the latest man to feel the meshes of
the legal net. The grand jury has
found an Indictment against him for
dealings he had with a bank Of which
he is an officer. He has demanded an

work of clearing himself tomorrow.
Without commenting on the merits of
the case the UNION desires to say that
it is refreshing to see the conscientious
work Of the grand jury in its attempts
to discover the causes Of the failures
of the ST. Paul banks. It doesn't hest
tate to indict a man because he is
prominent or popular.
