THE SUGAR TARIFF.
Some Interesting Facts and Figurss
for the Consumer.

New York, Oct. 70, 1907.
West Virginia Argus,
Kingwood, w. Va,
Dear Sir,-As a good deal has re-
Gently appeared in print regarding
the consumption of sugar in this
country, the various sources from
which il is obtained, the amount of
duty paid thereon, ETC., the follow
ing facts and figures will, we believe,
be OF interest to your readers
"The total consumption Of sugar
in the United States last year was
2,7I9,S47 tons, and based on the
average increase of 6.34 per cent
during the past 10 years, the con-
sumption this year should be 2, 900,
SIS tons. OF this quantity ,ooo,-
900 tons in round figures will come
from American sources, say Louis
lana being able 20 produce $50, 900
tons, United States beet factories
$50, 900, Hawaii $50, 900, and Porto
Rico $50, 900. all being free of duty,
leaving 1900, SIS tons to come
AsNsH Ohh~i oOhiCCo anu On which
duty Is paid. The average duty
assessed is $50 per ton, or total of
s4S, 98I, 600. The price of all the
sugar consumed, however, being
enhanced to the exte 1t of the duty
of $50 per ton or a total of SS4,-
9SI, 600, it is evident that $40, 900, :
900 additional is paid by the people
in order to provide the Government
with 4o millions for revenue, of
which the Government is not now
in need. If the duty is taken off
Cuba sugar, the benefit of Ss, ooo,-
900 goes to the people. On Octo-
Der 9Th, the quotation for Cuba
Centrifugal Sugar % test, free on
board Cuba was LOO per h., duty
on same amounts to I,68s-equiva-
lent TO sc per cent. advalorem."

Our observation and investigation
is that the compulsory school law of
the State is virtually dead letter,
mostly because it is not enforced by
the proper authorities. The teach .
ers and trustees pay but little, if
any, attention to it. and as they are
the ones to look after the matter
and report violations to some Tus.
tice, it goes by default, mainly
through their neglect of duty. AS
our schools are opening up now, we
desire to call special attention to
this matter. Here is the compul.
sorry attendance law:
every person having under his
control a child or children between
the ages OF and "a years, shall
cause such child or children to at.
tend some public school in the CITY.
independent district, or district in
which he resides, and for every neg.
lect Of such duty the person shall be
guilty Of a misdemeanor, and shall.
upon conviction thereof before any
Justice, be fined two dollars for the
first ofense, and five dollars for
each subsequent ofense. An ofense
as understood in this act, shall con.
sist in failure to send to school any
child or children"

WAR OF OUTRAGE
Foreign Sentiment to Suppress
Anarchists and Fenians.

London Oct. THE speech OF II. Kel-
ley OF New York at the Anarchist meet
ing held yesterday in a hall In the Tot
tenham Court road, London. i'm which he
denounced the late President McKinleys
political career, has led 10 a revival of the
demand for the extirpation OF Anarchists.
The Pail Mall Gazette today compares
Anarchism with Fenianism, maintaining
that the only difference between the sem
timents OF anarchists and the war of out
rage advocated by such men as former
Congressman Finerty is merely one of di-
verse means TO the same end, urges that
the police of the two Anglo Saxon nations
be empowered TO take concerted action to
hunt down tho social enemy, whether An
archist or Fenain, and that both govern
ments refuse them the right of asylum.
BY coincidence the Times today prints
a long article from Washington, protest.
ing against the license allowed the Irish
in America in plotting against Great
Britain.
Commenting upon this. the st. James
Gazette thinks British hands are not al
together clean. and that no law would
be strained If Kelley and other foreigners,
whose cult Is murder, received immediate
notice TO utrrt.
