The Tuppers, of Canada, sons of the
great high muck-a-muck Upper of
the Dominion, over ON the other side
of the Niagara, landed NJ New York
with their pockets bullying out with
silver and other wares brought over
from Europe. They were obliged to
pay duty on that and all their person
mel effects over the 500 amount pur-
chased ON the European side. Now as
they have had their goods entered at
the American custom house these
goods will have to pay duty on their
going into Canada. These young
Canadian bucks will find out after
awhile that there is buzz saw hid
den in the phraseology of that tariff
law.

There is no lack of sweetness in
these United States. Pending the
higher rate of duty under the new law
there were 2O0,OO0,000 pounds of the
saccharine stuff brought into the coun-
try during the one month of July.
This would give every man, woman,
child, baby, foreigner, and visitor in
the country an allowance of about
three pounds each. There will never
be like amount brought into this
country in any other one month, for
Uncle Sam is going to grow most of
his own sugar in the future and keep
the profits of it at home.

1t will take more than the assertion
Of one or two country papers to de-
monstrate that the candidacy Of
Reagan for the Senate has knocked out
Culberson's chances. 1t depends more
on what stand Hogg takes in this

The Democrats who talk about the
great luck of the Republican party
in coming into power just as the
great wave of prosperity struck the
country, are unable. to distinguish
cause from effect. Prosperity is the
effect of the election last fall and the
returning confidence of the people in
the methods that would be employed
to prevent the accumulation of vast
national debt in times of peace.
Events Justify that confidence. This
is why the evidences Of prosperity
multiply and the people return to their
labOrs with courage.
