The Rev Mcclure was known in religious circles in Pine Bluff. Whiie theological student at Vanderbilt University he spent his vacation in Arkansas and other southern states, selling religious works and books, and during the vacation months real- ized enough from his work as "book peddler" to pay his way through col lege.
 A short time after graduation, a1ld on account of his health, which had been greatly impaired by oVerwofk, he was placed in charge of the High land Methodist Church at Albuquer- que, N. M During the writer's se iourn in that place last summer he had call from MT. Mcclure, who i'll auired about Dr. Browning, Rev. A. 10. Evants, MF, R. H, M Mills and other leading Methodists of this city,
 The Rev. Mcclure was an earnest and sincere Christian, devoted and jealous in his work, a faithful follow CT of Christ, young minister of abil- ity, and had he lived would have un- doubtedly made his mark in his chos- en field.
 Mr. McClures death will be learn ed with regret by his few Pine Bluff acquaintarces, but by none with mere sincere sorrow than by the ehroni- cler of these few lines. Ae certain as there is a heaven the spirit of all that was mortal of the late J. N. Me Cure will enter 1t.

For Whose Benefit?

Russia does not like our tariff and
therefore, say the tariff thinkers, the
tariff must be changed. Other coun.
tries do not like some provisions Of the
law and therefore these must also be
changed. 1t might be worth while to
stop a minute and discuss the question
whether we make our tariffs for the
benefit of other nations or for our own
benefit. If for the benefit of Russia,
Germany and England, we might as
well turn the work of making the tariff
over to them and save the expense of
congressional labor on it. But there is
little prospect that the tariff thinkers
will induce the people to listen to them.
Conditions are pretty fair now, and
there are not many who want to go
back to Democratic times such as we
had in 1898 to 1S97.-Moline Qll) Dis

THE eEEr SUGAR INTEREST,".

THE eEEr SUGAR INTEREST.
Will vigorously Oppose Havemeyer
Trust Plan of Reduced Duties.
Mr.. Oxnard, a large manufacturer Of
beet sugar, is engaged In a fight with
the great refineries Of the country,
whichcontrol a large share Of the sugar
business of the country, which draw
their supplies of raw material from the
tropics, and which are decidedly adj
verse to any expansion Of the beet
sugar industry here. Mr.. Oxnard says
that the Sugar Trust is to make a
strong effort at the coming session Of
Congress to have the present duties
upon sugar cut out Of the tariff law.
Mr.. Oxnard's interests, as we'll as
the interests Of all of the producers Of
the raw material which he uses in his
factories. are against the withdrawal
OF the duties on raw sugar. On the 9TH
er hand, and here is the important
point which he brings out, the interests
of his rival, the ~so-called Sugar Trust,
IRE directly in having the duties on
raw sugar abrogated. The matter is
simple and easily understood Of all
who care to look at the facts. The
Sugar Trust, otherwise the American
Sugar Refining Company, obtains from
abroad the bulk of its supplies Of raw
cane sugar, which 1t refines and sells
in competition with the beet sugar pro-
'duced in this country, from beets
raised by American farmers. Its inter-
ests are to get raw sugar at the lowest
price. Still nor do its interests re-
Quire this because it cannot now mon
opoliZe the American market, but must
share it with American sugar, produced
at home. With free raw sugar, the
Sugar Trust can keep the price so low
as to prevent any further expansion Of
the beet sugar industry. Hence all of
the interests Of the American Sugar
Refinery r for a removal of the
duties on raw sugar.
This is all SO perfectly obvious that
Il would be scarcely worth while to re-
cite it, were it not for the fact that a
number Of rabid free.traders, who rush
blindly into assertions without a single
fact upon which to base them, have
argued that the Sugar Trust is respon-
sible for the imposition of the duty on
raw sugar, that Congress imposed that
duty in Difference to the demands of
the trust, and that to remove the duty
on sugar would be to infict a severe
blow upon the Trust.
The fact is that the duty on raw
sugar imported from abroad is not only
a revenue measure of considerable
value to the country's finances, but is
the main protection Of the beet sugar
industry in this country, an industry of
large Importance to the agricultural in-
terests.and of great economic value to
the country as a whole. To remove the
duty on raw sugar would have the
triple effect Of advancing the interests
Of the Sugar Trust; Of preventing the
establishment Of further beet sugar
factories, and thus %forbidding an ex-
tension Of the beet-growing industry;
and of continuing in effect the economi-
cally wrong practice of sending abroad
millions annually for the purchase of
q product which might just as we'll be
produced at hol,e. To advocate this
under pretext that It would injure a
trust is simply to ignore or willingly
misstate the actual facts.-Seattle

The cron, and Pro.nerity.

To- Inc MODS ana
Discussing the corr and wheat crops,
Of our free trade contemporaries
here in the city, which car find no CON
ISOLATION in anything except the aboli-
ton of tariff duties, has announced it's
conclusion that If we have had any
prosperity in the last few years 1t has
been due almost entirely to u fine
corn and wheat crops, and that a fail
ure Of these crops, or either Of them,
would throw us into the old-time dis
tress. Now, let us look into some facts
and see if that is true.
AS a matter of fact, the total value
of all the orn crops since 1894 has
been $7OO,OOO,OO0 less than for the same
number Of years preceding that date.
Likewise the total value Of all the
wheat crops has been $20O,OOO,OOO less.
For the seven years preceding 1894 the
amount Of money which the farmers
got out Of their corn and wheat crops
was almost one billion dollars more
than they got out Of the corn and wheat
crops for the next seven years up to and
including 1900. Yet We do not suppose
that V e a free trade pessimist will
declare that there was more prosperity
in this country in 1894, the time Of gen.
eral financial depression and bank
ruptcy, than in 1900. If the free trader
will insist that there was, we shall ask
how 1t is, then, that the savings bank
deposits, the prosperity gauge Of the
United States, were in 1900 $75O,OOO,OOO
more than in 1894, and way over a bill
lion more than in 1887, the beginning
Of the period we have mentioned as
showing the largest crop values in the
history Of the country?
Not the crops, but the general indus
trial conditions, under the protective
tariff system, have made the prosperity
OF this country.-New York Press.
Want Hard Times Again.
The Ohio Democrats In their State
convention Wednesday declared for the
suppression Of the protective tariff
and for a tariff for revenue only.
These words have familiar sound to
the American people. What a tariff
for revenue means, the present genera
ton has not forgotten. It has had one
experience with such a tariff. It is a
declaration Of preference for foreign
manufactures and Of war against home
Industries. It isfin effect a surrender
Of the home market to foreigners.
Six years ago this country was going
through a period Of financial stagna.
don and industrial paralysis. Factories
were idle and hundreds Of thousands
Of men were ont Of work. There were
good times abroad and a wretched con-
&tion Of affairs at home. The Govern.
ment itself ran short Of cash and had

Not q DEMOCRAT.

Senator McLaurin has a right to feel
complimented by the action of the
South Carolina Democratic State Com.
mittee in voting to fire him out Of the
party. Not to be considered a Demo-
crat Of the South Carolina type is in
deed an honor. When a man votes for
the industrial and commercial upbuild-
ing of his State they call him a rene
gade and expel him. He cannot do
such things and remain a Democrat in
good standing. That sort OF politics
will bear good fruit in the South some
day. The South Carolina Democratic
Committee has furnished precisely the
object lesson needed to illustrate to
progressive, thinking people what a
man must and must not be in order
to be classed az an orthodox Southern

nal, reports that from the statement
issued by the Iowa State Auditor Civ.
ing report of the condition of State and
savings banks in Iowa, it appears that
since the middle of December there
has been an increase in the bank depos.
its in that State of $14, 493, 1881. The
dispatch characterizes this as "unprec.
edented in the history of the State, and
goes on to say that the total amount on
deposit in the State and savings banks
Of Iowa is $112, 465, 254, and that during
the last year the increase in the amount
Of deposits has been over $21,OOO,OOO,
while there has been an increase of

Manifestly there has been no falling
off in Dingley law prosperity in the
State Of Iowa. Uncle Horace Boies
may still find it in him to write calam-
~ity-breathing articles for the free-trade
syndicate, but his articles will exert as
little influence on the opinion of the
people of his own State as on the opin-
ions Of the rest of the people Of the
country, and the amount of that 1nflu-
ence is not startlingly large. Printed
articles holding forth on the disastrous
results which must inevitably ON out
of the policy of protection do not carry
very much weight with people whose
pockets are already loaded down with
the abundant fruits of the prosperity
which they W directly to that same
policy of protection.-Exchange.
Doctrine of Tariff Reformers.
what the friends of tariff reform
will continue to urge, without regard to
reciprocity treaties" says the Philadel-
phia Record, "is such reduction of du-
ties on imports as is obviously demand
ed by the interests alike of American
consumers and producers. The official
returns Of commerce have shown for
years just what protective duties might
reduced or wholly repealed without any
disturbance to American industries"
What the tariff reformers have hereto
fore is urged that all protective duties
are pernicious and immoral and ought to
be wholly repealed without regard to the
effect of American Industries. This is
n reason why the country became
panic stricken when the tariff reform.
ers got into power in 1893, and why the
country has shown an eagerness to
keep them out of power since that time,
