BEET SUGAR AND TARIFF.

Recently statement was sent out by
WilIett & Gray, publishers of the Sta
tistical Sugar Journal, favoring the
taking of the duty off sugar in order to
save $50. 000,0 600 to the people now paid
in duties. At that time the T.-R. said
1t was movement of the sugar trust
to Kill beet sugar interests. The Beet
Sugar Gazette confirms 1t, and ex-
presses regret that the publishers of the
journal have stopped to become lack
eys of the sugar trust" In discussing
the claim made by Willett g. Gray. the
Beet Sugar Gazette says:
Taking the figures as given by Will
lett & Gray without question. for the
cake OF argument. it is seen at once
that their conclusions are altogether
wrong. In the first place, it is simply a
falsehood that the duty on raw sugar is
paid by the people in order to provide
the government with s40,0o000O for rev.
enue, of which the government is not in
need. 1t is Well known that one Of the
objects. if not the principal object of
leyying this duty. is to protect the do
mestic sugar industry. The republican
party does not stand for a tariff for rev.
enue, as the writer's of the circular
would have us believe, but they stand

squarely upon the principal of protec-
ton to home industry.
1t is at least fallacious. If not disin-
genuous. to say that If the duty is taken
of Cuban sugar, the benefit of $S5, coo 600
goes to the people. Where do the $50
coo, 900 duty come from? AT the rate of
sl6S5 per cwt., which is the present
rate. the sum of $50 100000 wouls, ap-
proximately be the duty on l,s6O,5S5 tons
which, according to the circular. come
from other than American sources, and
on which duty is paid. These other
sources, however. comprise many be
sides Cuba. In fact. according 20 the
present estimates. Cuban sugar fer the
next year would be less than oue-half OF
that amount. Hence, the sum OF $50
100000 would have to be split in half IL
one would figure the amount of duty
which would be RENTED in case Cuban
sugar was admitted free. Perhaps this
little miscalculation was uninten,ionai
on the part of the publishers OF the cir
cular. If so, their reputation as statis-
clans and publishers of reliable tigures
would suffer severely. Ii it was not
unintentional, they will instead be re-
garded as more or less adroit manipu-
lators of figures.
1T is decidedly violent assumption
that the benefit of the abolition Of the
duty on Cuban sugar would go 10 the
people. 1t is by no means an iron Law
of economics that where yalue has
been established for an article under
the influence of an import duty. the
amount Of duty will at once be taken off
the price for the benefit of the consum-
err whenever the duty is removed from
such arcticle. In fact, the chances are
that the lions share of the benefit from
such an abolition of duties would so In
to the capacious pockets of the sugar
trust. who would still continue t. buy
this sugar, refine it, and sell il at the
highest price obtainable. This would be
the case il the duty on raw sugar stood
alone The fact is. however, as Willett &
Gray very well know, altho they very
shrewdly refrain from mentioning the
fact in their circular, that there Us 9
duty of $l.95 per cwt. on refined sugar.
AS long as this remains, there is abso-
lutely not the least prospect of the trust
reducing the prices of sugar so as to
give the people the benefit of the abol-
ition of the duty on Cuban sugar. There
would still remain a quantity of raw
sugar that would be imported from
other sources than from Cuba, on which
the tariff would remain. The trust
would combine to buy this sugar ut the
present figures. While it could buy Gu
ban sugar at an additional profit equal
to the duty that was taken off from
it, and 1t would charge the people the
price based upon the duty on refined
sugar. The entire argument of Wiiett &
Gray's circular therefore falls 10 the
ground.

THE PASSING OF A STATESMAN.

Full of years and honors Earl Ii
Hung Chang, the greatest of Chinese
statesmen, passed away on the morning
of the Tth. Born in 1922. he had nearly
reached the age of eighty years and had
been in feeble health during the closing
months of his life. A pure Chinese and
a lover of his country, he became con-
spicuous In early life for his patriotism
and ability. just as hosts of men have
in other nations. There is no more royal
road to public favor in any country that
aims to preserve its integrity than dis
interested service for the nation. After
his gallant service in the army he en-
tered the diplomatic field and served his
government in exalted offices. He had
held, almost continuously thru many
years, eeveral high offices in the imper-
ial government and was recognized as
man OF great influence and power.
He went abroad and visited Europe
aud America. thereby charging his

and received cordial welcome from our
people Everywhere he was received
with the greatest honor and respect,
and it was hoped as result of his visit
his influence upon his people would be
in the direction of progress. 1t is hard
to estimate the amount of influence he
exerted in recent events in China, for
the reason that our civilization is SO
little in touch with that OF the far east.
!. 1t IS believed, however that he welded
vast responsibility and that the severe
duties imposed upon him were too much
for his weak frame.
Like others of his official class, Lii
Hung Chang was one who had little use
of his legs, and relied upon attendants
TO carry him around in his later life.
This frequently gave rise to the story
that he was Ill.

DUTY OF SECRETARY GAGE.
scnseIess Attacks of Americas Free
Traders Upon That Emcient
OnicInl.


Opponents of the administration and
of the republican protective tariff pol
icy have eagerly seized upon Russia's
unreasonable impositiono exorbitant
duties upon steel and iron imports
from the United States as an oppor-
tunity for attack upon Secretary Gage
and upon the American protective tar
iff system. According to their ancient
custom, the supporters of the free
trade theory take sides with foreign
ers against their own country. 1t Is
asserted by them that Secretary Gage
made grievous mistake when he inn
posed on Russian sugar additional
duty equal in amount to the bounty
which he believes the Russian govern
ment indirectly pays to its producers.
The secretary is accused of having
Disseminated against Russia, and he
is blamed the more because the i'm
ports of Russian sugar are compara-
lively small.
In his statement, published recent
ly, Secretary Gage makes it plain that
when he had become convinced that
Russia paid an indirect bounty to it's
sugar producers it became his duty to
take the action which he took. The
amount of Russian sugar imports had
nothing to do with the case. The ques-
ton was whether Russia should be
treatedas other sugar-producing coun-
tries that pay bounties to the sugar in
dustry are treated. The additional
duty imposed is not a discriminating
one. Neglect to impose it would have
been discrimination in Russia's favor
and against France, Germany, Bel
GUM, the Netherlands and other
sugar-producing, bounty-paying coun-
tries.
Remission of the bounty is possible
only upon proof that Secretary
Cages conviction that Russia pays n
bounty is erroneous. II the fact
which he asserts remains mistaken
the added duty must stand.
Unless Russia can produce the
proof mentioned, il is the Russian
minister of finance who made the mis-
take when he imposed a prohibitive
duty upon American manufactures OF
steel and iron. To what extent Ger
man intrigue influenced his action is
an open question. Germany natural
ly hopes to profit through the ex-
clusion from Russia of American steel
and iron.
Significant is the news from st.
Petersburg that the Russian press
which is subject to government CEN
sorship-so discusses the act of the
minister of finance that il can be
readily read between the lines that
the prevailing opinion is the retalia-
ton is out of all proportion to the
slight injury to Russian interests
from the added duty on sugar. 1t is
even broadly limited that the minister
acted in anger and haste, and that n
modification of his decree is quite
possible.
It is to be hoped that when lucid
statements of the whole case is pre-
scented to the Russian government
through the regular diplomatic chan
mel, such concessions as the equity
! Of the matter demands will be made.
! In the meantime let the American
| free traders continue to attack Sec
rotary Gage and the protective sys-

THE BOY REMEMBERED.
Gov. stewart of Missouri Had Met
This Man Before Under Diff
ferent Circumstauces.

4 few years ago, while Robert
Stewart was governor of Missouri,
a steamboatman was brought in from
the pententiary as an applicant for
a pardon, says the indianapolis
Sentinel. He was large, powerful
fellow, and when the governor looked
at him he seemed strangely affected.
He scrutinized him long and closely.
Finally he signed the document that
restored the prisoner to liberty. Be
fore he handed it to him he said:
you will commit some other crime,
and be in the penitentiary again, /
fear" The man solemnly promised
he would not. The governor looked
doubtful, unused few minutes and
said: You will go back on the river
and be a mate again, l suppose ?"
The man replied that he would.
"Well, | want you to promise me one
thing" resumed the governor. II
want you to pledge your word that
when you are mate again you will
never take billet of wood in your
hand and drive sick boy out of
bunk to help you load your boat
on stormy night" The steamboat
man said he would not, and inquired
what the governor meant by asking
him such question. The governor
replied: Because some day that
boy may become a governor, and you
may want him to pardon you for
crime. One dark, stormy night,
many years ago, you stopped your
boat on the Mississippi river to take
on load of wood. There was
boy on board who was working his
passage from New Orleans to st.
Louis, but he was very sick of fever
and was lying in bunk. You had
plenty of men to do the work, but
you went to that boy with stick
of wood in your hand and drove him
with blows and curses out into the
wretched night and kept him toiling
like a slave until the load was COM
pleted. I was that boy. Here is
your pardon. Never again be guilty
of such brutality" The man, cow
ering and hiding his face, went out
without word. What noble re-
venge that was, and what lesson to
bully!
